Music Lab and Sound of Your Stay® guitar delivery are genuinely unique — not available at comparable all-inclusives
Seven distinct pools give different moods and crowd levels; adults-only options are actually quiet
Rock Spa® has 36 treatment rooms and a full hydrotherapy circuit — rarely overwhelmed by demand
Roxity Kids Club runs programming into the evening, giving parents real downtime
All rooms include a terrace hydro spa tub regardless of category
Cons
The ocean is non-swimmable — Pacific currents make beach entry dangerous; you need a paid excursion for ocean swimming
Dinner reservations fill quickly, especially for Awaken Your Senses and Toro; guests who don't book on day one often miss their preferred nights
Diamante Development location is isolated — 40–75 minutes from the airport and a drive from central Cabo nightlife
Bowling alley and some spa experiences cost extra on top of the all-inclusive rate
Top-shelf spirits and certain menu items (tomahawk steak, premium champagnes) are excluded from all-inclusive
Sandals Royal Barbados

Lovers Lanes bowling alley and craft beer bar are genuine novelties within the all-inclusive format
Cons
Maxwell Beach is a public beach — other hotel guests and persistent local vendors are present and regularly cited by guests
Lounge chair competition is consistent: early morning positioning is required for both the main pool and beachfront spots
