After a lot of research we settled on the Pedregal and we’re not disappointed in the least!
The customer service was the best I’ve ever experienced. Everyone is so willing to help (in English or Spanish) to make you feel so at home. The food was excellent as well. I never felt fearful of anything being subpar, presentation and quality were beyond what I expected.
And contrary to other reviews, I never got sick or felt anything but a slight hangover from my own doing *wink
This resort is rated number one in the country and it is sought after to be employed there. It shows! Everyone truly enjoyed to be helping you.
It’s very secure, you must pass through gated security entrance to enter the grounds.
The entire resort is well manicured and very clean.
I highly suggest to pay the little extra for private transportation from the airport (to or from). A short 25 – 30 ride from cabo airport.
Also what I enjoyed about this service was upon leaving the resort and arriving to the airport to head back to the states. We were intercepted by the Pedregal concierge at the airport who walked us through all of customs/​paperwork. Truly made it an ease! Can’t say enough about all of the help and service we had! Mario at the pool was such a help! We truly looked forward to going to the pool because of him! And Daniella our personal concierge took care of so many details through out our whole trip! She was there every day morning to evening to make sure all was taken care of!
I cannot wait to go back!

This place is beautiful. Great food and excellent service! The hotel had someone waiting for us at the airport. They put us into a beautiful car with cold bottled water. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with a margarita and the sweet Lola! She took such great care of us. The resort is amazing with careful attention to EVERY detail. The views are spectacular! The restaurants provide top notch service and delicious offerings. We spent one entire day at the spa where we were pampered and spoiled. I mentioned to the restaurant manager that I loved gorditas. The next day, he brought me a plate of fresh made gorditas for breakfast! We will be back, we loved the place, we loved the staff.

I absolutely loved the Pedregal. We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend. They checked us in with some margaritas for who drank or hibiscus water for the non alcoholics of the group. My favorite part about the Pedregal was the actual resort. It was beautiful there were not to many people so it felt very cozy. The pools and hot tubs were well laid out and beautifully designed.
The ceviche and the sushi by the pool was phenomenal. I also loved the guacamole It was honestly the best guacamole I’ve ever had ! They don’t use cilantro which was. A huge plus for me because I can’t take the taste of cilantro but it was so flavorful that people who did eat and love cilantro didn’t even miss it. We had a chef come to our suite one night to cook and set up dinner however one downfall with the resort is that all the food tasted the same after a while. The resort needed a bit more variety of food from breakfast to lunch and dinner.
I also love to check out gift shops at the resort. This was a good option but when I compare it to the one and only resort in Cabo it did not compare.
The room we got had very good quality materials. From the type of kitchen to the fixtures in the bathrooms. I do have to say the bathrooms and rooms were very well maintained which is a big deal to me!
I absolutely loved their spa! Best spa I’ve been to in all of Cabo! The service was so professional and the treatment rooms were breathtaking. Each treatment room was overlooking the water. They started out the service by having me pick an oil. And they gave me my own locker which had a curtain to create your own private area to change. After they had a foot treatment room which was so pretty and was done prior to the treatments. I got a massage and was very happy with the oil quality and the massage over all. The amenities in the spa are great they have a little healthy food bar with some fresh fruits and little bites. They had a steam and sauna that had fresh aloe Vera for your skin after. I thought that was so cool because it’s not something you usually see at Spa’s. Their attention to detail over all was great.
I can’t wait to go back again!

A beautifuuuuul resort that served as the backdrop for an amazing honeymoon… we loved this resort and it set the bar for all South of the Border resorts. A very easy reservation for our stay and assistance in arranging for our transportation to and from the airport. The hotel is located on the opposite side of a mountain. You literally drive through a tunnel to get there. It faces the Pacific ocean where the waters are a little more rough than in the Marina, but they are beautiful nonetheless. We were greeted by a whole host of staff and two fresh margaritas. All the rooms were equipped with an infinity pool and a beautiful view of the ocean. Every afternoon, we were served two Coronitas, limes and a fresh bowl of guac. The room was drop dead gorgeous in every aspect including the soaking tub and rainfall shower. The service is impeccable all around… from the turn down service at night (including tasty local desserts/​treats) to the constant greetings around the resort. We dined at all the restaurants (including El Farallon, which you can see reviewed in the list) and everything was great. The spa was amazing! Booked a service through the concierge during our stay and had amazing massages in a couple’s massage room. The mineral pool is cool and refreshing and totally worth a dip. All the pools are gorg, the swim-​up bar makes it fun and the entertainment was great. Yes, this place is steep in terms of price, but I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The resort offers a unique brand of privacy as it’s wedged between the ocean and a mountain. Exclusive access is past a security gate and then through a 100± yard long tunnel through the mountain. Only 111 rooms.
The level of service is very good.
The only downside I experienced was the noise associated with the air conditioning system.
When the a/​c goes on, it automatically went to maximum fan speed for about 5 – 10 seconds and then to a lower speed. The initial sound of it turning on is very loud. Using an iphone app, I measured it at 80 decibels. That’s similar to a garbage disposal running.
The second problem is that the system cycles on and off numerous times, much more than seems normal. That means that, while trying to sleep, I experienced the loudness of the system tuning on much more than I would have expected. On my last night there, after 30 times going on, I lost count.
On my first night, I notified Perla, the concierge, of the noise. She said that she had maintenance look at the problem. The problem did not get fixed. I was offered other rooms, some much nicer than the one I was in, but I tested the a/​c systems in these alternate rooms and the loudness existed in all.
Alejandro, the room manager, got involved and, ultimately, told me that it’s the company’s position that the a/​c systems operate properly. Well, here’s my position: If you charge premium, boutique hotel prices, there are certain standards that need to be met. The a/​c systems, even at low fan speed, run loud. If you require a quiet room to sleep, this may not be the hotel for you. Also, when Alejandro realized that he was not able to resolve my concerns, as all rooms have the louder-​than-​normal a/​c systems, there was no effort to offer any other measure of good will to acknowledge my concerns. For someone who had three consecutive bad nights of sleep because of loud a loud a/​c system, this felt dismissive. It’s definitely not the way The RItz Carlton would have handled it. And I guess it’s my lesson learned that even if I pay Ritz prices, I shouldn’t expect the RItz Carlton level of service.
Bottom line: Great resort unless you need a certain level of quiet to get to sleep.

A truly immaculate hotel and resort. Having my fair share of nice hotels, this was genuinely one of the rare times where I was completely blown away by the hospitality of a place. I honestly do not have a complaint. I can say tons about the estate itself (which is marvelous) but for me what really helps this place distinguish itself from others is the attention to detail. There was not ONE single occurrence where the staff replied with a «no» to one of our requests. We will definitely be back.

We had a fabulous time at the Resort at Pedregal, even though the first 2 days were cloudy and sometimes rainy from Hurricane Sandra.
We were greeted with a margarita, which is always a huge plus in my book! We stayed in an Ocean View Deluxe King, which had a fabulous view of the ocean and a private plunge pool, as well as a welcome bottle of tequila and some limes! SCORE! I’m not gonna lie though, there wasn’t a seal on the bottle of tequila and it honestly wasn’t strong so I’m wondering if some joker didn’t fill it with a little water. Fail.
You have 3 choices for restaurants at the Resort, El Farallon (which I did review) which overlooks the cliffs and is high end, Don Manuels, which serves breakfast lunch and dinner, and the Beach Club, which is in the «family» area and serves lunch. We actually enjoyed eating at all 3 of the restaurants, as the food was just phenomenal.
The Resort is literally across from the marina and just a short walk to town, so we enjoyed venturing off of property and eating breakfast and dinner elsewhere (you must try Mamas Royal for breakfast, yum) since eating solely at the resort can become very pricey.
I was disappointed that we bought sunblock at the gift shop for the Hubs and they charged us $ 44 (and yes, that was US, not Pesos LOL).
The fitness center was nice too and not crowded at all, so it was good to burn off some of the booze I was consuming.
My main complaint is that our door key would not let us in one day so they literally had to replace the entire door system. For $ 1050/​night, I expect they would test these things prior to my arrival. They fixed it and all was right with the world!
An overall lovely experience!

This is one of the most beautiful resorts we have been to, and the wonderful staff place it a cut above the rest. From the time we stepped off the plane until we arrived at our gate for departure, the staff at this resort went out of their way to make everything as pleasant as possible. Each staff person who greeted us ended the interaction with «my pleasure» or a similar phrase designed to let you know that they are there to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I noticed several meetings of the various service teams during our stay, and I can only surmise that they place a premium on excellent customer service.
Some random observations:
* The shower took some time getting used to. I inadvertently sprayed water across the room and directly at my wife when I attempted to use the shower wand for the first time.
* Each afternoon staff came by with w couple of cold beers and a tray of salsa and guacamole which we would decline (only because we’re not beer drinkers and were perpetually stuffed from eating at the resort). They finally snuck in one day while we were out at the pool and left the food in our room. Very sneaky sis.
* I should also point out the local wildlife. There was a large lizard that liked to plant himself on one of the rock abutments next to the family pool. My wife nearly jumped out of her sapatos the first time she saw him, and was convinced that the staff placed him there with the same care that they raked the sand along the grounds into beautiful designs.
* We had seen Sicario a few days before arriving in Mexico, so I naturally requested a black SUV from the resort to pick us up at the airport. Although I was disappointed to not find Emily Blunt behind the wheel (and also quickly realized that such concerns were unnecessary), I still greatly enjoyed listening to our driver on the way in talk about his experiences and observations, and was even more pleased when we left for home to have our own escort navigate us through baggage, ticketing and security.

Just as another reviewer said… all the wonderful things everyone says about this resort are true. However, I also became very sick* on our 2^nd night of our honeymoon at the end of October. We never ate outside of the resort and I wasn’t the only guest who was ill during that time.
What troubles us the most about our stay is the lack of actual support during the last 3 days that I was miserable and room-​bound. Our personal concierge along with the management staff were very kind and genuinely empathetic when calling our room to check on me, but in hindsight their words seem empty considering that everything they offered came with a price.
They offered to send a doctor for a fee of $ 120 dollars, which we declined since we knew time was the only cure. The only «meal» I could keep down for 3 days was plain oatmeal, and every bowl I ordered ($ 18 dollars each) was charged to our room. When I mentioned that my husband couldn’t locate any Imodium at their resort, they said they could have it delivered from a local pharmacy along with some Gatorade, «no problem». This too was ultimately charged to our room: $ 19 dollars.
It was completely disingenuous to offer condolences while at the same time charging for every single thing related my illness. Regardless of the cause/​origin of my E-​coli exposure, offering complementary care to convey genuine interest in my health and well-​being should be required of a resort that touts their «preferential service» as their hallmark. This isn’t simply a matter of culpability, but also about treating guests and their needs as something more than just another thing to charge to their room.
They got their money, and in return we received a honeymoon experience we will certainly never forget.
*I was sick for a full 9 days and required IV fluids for dehydration upon our return. My husband also became sick (thankfully more mild) the evening we returned home.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we both agreed this is the only place we will stay when we visit Cabo. The resort is beautiful, and secluded yet walking distance to downtown and the marina. Our room was spacious, with a gorgeous view of the ocean (we went to sleep every night to the sound of waves crashing on the beach!). We had our own plunge pool (which was amazing!) and courtyard. One night we ordered room service and they set up dinner in our courtyard overlooking the ocean. The food was excellent, especially at their cliffside restaurant, El Farallon-​expensive but delicious and the views are spectacular. Their spa was excellent as well. I cannot say enough about the first class service we received. Diana was our concierge and she took care of us even before we arrived, arranging activities for us and ensuring we had everything we needed. On the day we were to leave we were running late to our flight, they called the airport and had someone waiting to escort us through check in and security (we didn’t ask for this, they just knew there was a chance we could miss our flight and they went far above and beyond to ensure we made it home). If you are looking for a beautiful, first class hotel, with every amenity and amazing service then this is the place.

It is very rare that every element comes together. Location, view, menu, service, clientele, drink, and all in one place. If you want to have the most significant dining experience in Baja… look no further.

Truly flawless! Service is impeccable, room 20 is amazing. The breakfast at Din Manuel is an experience. I am running out of acronyms for amazing. Best place on earth.
It got even better. On the date of departure, we got escorted all the ways ye by our hotel. We skipped the security line all the way to the front and the gentleman drop us off at the VIP lounge (if you have Amex platinum, pull have access with priority plus).

We have been to Cabo several times. This was our first time staying at The resort at the Pedregal and let me tell you, IT Was AMAZING!!!
I made the reservation for my husband’s birthday and as soon as I made the reservation, I got an email from Diana (the concierge) asking if we had any food allergies and what we would like to do while staying at Cabo. She was very helpful and gave me very good ideas about activities while staying at Cabo (she told me about Camel ride which was a unique and fun experience for my seven year old son).
When we arrived to the hotel, we were greeted by Diana and offered fresh water or Margaritas. I was so impressed that as soon as our car got there, Diana was staying there and waiting for us.
Also, the hotel is absolutely beautiful. Before getting to the resort, you pass through an amazing tunnel to get to the hotel. The view is just Amazing.
Now, the room… Wowwwww… Has its own private negative edge pool. So, when you get tired of swimming and relaxing in the main pool, you can come to your own room and relax in your own warm pool.
As far as food and restaurants, it is great. The main restaurant is called El Farallon. It has the view of the full ocean and beautiful lighting. It serves fresh seafood and it is rated the best restaurant in Cabo. I had the best tasting Lobster in my life at El Farallon. Also, the breakfast Buffett at Don Manuel is amazing. Everything is fresh and tasty.
The service was impeccable. The few names that I remember, Marco, Pablo, Hugo, and Mario and Julio at the pool were wonderful.
One afternoon, I decided to go check out Costco and compare to CA stores and I was greeted warmly by a Bell man that had taken my bags to my room the first day. Embarrassingly, I had completely forgotten his name yet, to my astonishment, he knew ours.
One night, we were trying to find the restaurant El Farallon, and we asked a random person that was walking. Come to find out, he was the general Manager, Fernando. He was extremely nice, he took the time to walk us to the restaurant and gave us a brief tour.
Also, the Spa is rated the number one Hotel Spa in Cabo. They offer 30 minute express treatment… If you choose this hotel; you have to try the spa… Once you enter the spa, it is so relaxing. The Smell, the sound, the small food, drinks, tea, the spa pool, sauna, ice room, and herbal feet massage is just amazing.
Lastly, the service is great. They make you feel like you are royalty and everything is about you and your vacation. I just wanted to say Thank you to Diana and Marco.
I really hope we can go and stay at this resort again.
Definitely recommend this place.

Paradise is the very definition of this resort. From arrival, we were welcomed with smiles and margaritas. Driving into the resort’s property, you can tell it’s very secluded from the rest of the hotels around the area. If you want privacy and to just relax and be away from the noise, this is perfect. There was a gate with a security guard and you had to go through a tunnel (which was pretty cool). Then one of the front desk girls took us on a tour of the property, explaining the amenities and restaurants. She also made us feel at home with our room by explaining everything and reassuring that they can take care of our needs ²⁴⁄₇. The view from our room is spectacular! Our own private pool and the interior design is breathtaking. Every employee has been nothing but kind to us and they were super friendly. Only downside is that it’s sitting by the Pacific Ocean and we can’t swim in it because of the high tides. Other than that, this deserves a 5 star. Thank you Resort at Pedregal for taking care of us during our stay!

This resort was beautiful and amazing. We had the three bedroom villa with a spectacular view and we had our own personal butler. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly. It definitely felt like home in the tropics. Looking forward to returning.

Wow! This is the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at. Hidden behind a mountain is this scenic hotel that cascades into the sea. The service is top notch and the spa was the best experience I’ve had at a spa. The infinity pool is only a few feet away from the ocean and great place to have drinks! Every morning for breakfast not only did we have Great food but organic freshly pressed juices. Our favorite place by far. And the gifts keep on coming, every afternoon we were given a bucket of coronitas with freshly made guacamole and chips. The gym had private rooms you could use so we had our own sessions and played our owns jams!
Can’t wait to go back!

This resort is open for business and one of the most fantastic hotels anywhere. If you want to be pampered and you don’t mind paying for it, this is your place. We stayed in one of the beach front casitas, complete with its own pool, fire pit, lawn, steps to the beach and just about every thing you could imagine or want.
At $ 2,500 per night, I guess you can expect exceptional service and facilities. The greatest thing about the Resort is they leave you alone and yet provide all the services and amenities you could possible want.
One downside is that the casita is so fantastic that you want want to leave the room or your private outdoor beach front area. The less expensive rooms, with the plunge pools are also absolutely stunning. They cost about 25% of the casitas but still awesome.
El Farallon Restaurant is overrated but dramatically situated on the cliff just over the ocean. Prices are high and food is good but not amazing. The non-​beachfront hotel restaurant has more interesting food. It’s a three meal a day affair and very good.
Bottom line: If your goal is to chill out in absolute luxury on the Pacific Coast of Baja, this is your place, just don’t forget your wallet and high limit credit cards because you are going to need them!

Small, intimate and exclusive — I really enjoyed Capella. The location, food and service made Cabo a totally different experience from any I have had before and I love the place.

This is my second time visiting Capella Pedregal. It is by far one of the loveliest locations that I have travelled to.
Guests enter the resort through a tunnel that has been carved out of the mountain and it is lit by gas powered chandeliers and sconces — just gorgeous.
The first view you see as you depart the tunnel is a breathtaking view of the water.
The ladies & gentleman at the front desk greet you with open arms and welcome you with your choice of hibiscus juice or a margarita — the first of many during your visit. A host escorts you to your room and introduces you to your incredible accommodations which include your own private plunge pool overlooking the ocean and your private patio. Each room has a stocked refrigerator for your enjoyment, a bottle of tequila, cashews and fresh fruit along with a Nespresso machine. They ask when you want turndown service and what time each day you want your room made up.
Each afternoon you are welcomed back to your room with a bucket of Coronas and chips, guacamole and salsa. If you decide to save the beer or snack for later make sure you put it in your refrigerator or the staff will remove it when then do your turn down service.
The wi-​fi is terrific in the room and in the public areas, the concierge is extremely helpful, the infinity pool is fabulous, Eddie and his staff at the pool bar are second to none!
The pool staff stops by every hour or so to refresh your water bottles, offer you free samples of drinks, desserts or other treats
The spa and restaurants are fabulous and I have reviewed them separately because they deserve their own reviews!
Even though you are extremely secluded at the resort, all you need to do is take a short ride through the tunnel on a golf cart and you are at the marina and in the middle of town. You can walk to tons of restaurants and shops so no rental car needed!
I wish I could make this location an annual retreat because it is such a special place. I can’t wait to go back.
PS — most visitors are adults but there is also a ‘family side’ of the resort that offers multi room units and is located by the family pool and kids pool.
One more thing — there are treats and juice and sangria in the lobby all the time
