Rating8.0Rating8.0Rating8.0Adults OnlyNon-motorized water sports on the crescent cove are a genuine draw — the calm water makes snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding accessible without a guided trip. Cultural programming (tequila tastings, cooking workshops, dance classes) runs most days and is meaningfully different from the typical resort entertainment schedule.
The largest pool on property with a free-form design, swim-up bar (Celsius), and organized water activities throughout the day. Gets busy midday. Secure chairs early. Central location means it's never truly quiet — go here to be social, not to read.
Smaller satellite pools in lower-traffic sections of the resort. Best option if the main pool crowd isn't your preference. No swim-up bar service — you'll need to grab drinks from a nearby bar.
Private plunge pools accessed directly from the terrace of Swim-Up Suite categories. Semi-private — shared between adjacent swim-up rooms. Not truly isolated, but far more controlled than the main pool.
Exclusive to Reserve-tier guests. Bali beds, dedicated concierge service at poolside. Smaller than the main pool but the service ratio is notably better. This is the pool to justify The Reserve upgrade if you value poolside service.
Now applies to the whole resort since January 2024, but this pool was designated adults-only before that transition. Quiet atmosphere, separate from the activity-heavy main pool.
The defining asset of this property. Protected cove geometry means waves are calm enough for actual swimming and snorkeling — genuinely uncommon in Los Cabos, where most beaches have strong shorebreak and dangerous rip currents. Soft sand, loungers with umbrellas, beach towel service. Kanna Beach Flavors bar on the sand. The Reserve has a designated section. Best accessed early morning to secure preferred spots.

Now moot — the resort transitioned to adults-only in January 2024. If you're reading an older itinerary referencing the Mini Club, it no longer applies.
