Sitting on beautiful beachfront grounds, this 326-room upscale resort offers chic and spacious suites and one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas. All units have living rooms and private terraces, plus villas add full kitchens with modern appliances. A beautiful tri-level infinity pool takes centerstage on the scenic grounds, plus there's a kids' pool and an adult-only pool. A peaceful spa offers a myriad of treatments, and there's a well-equipped fitness center. Dining options include an excellent farm-to-table restaurant serving homestyle Mexican fare, plus there's a poolside bar and shop/cafe with Starbucks coffee. A kids' club, lovely chapel, 16-seat movie theater, and a roster of activities round out the features. The main downer? The beach isn't swimmable due to dangerous currents. For something with a swimmable beach, check out the One & Only Palmilla -- but rates are pricier.

The atmosphere at the Grand Mayan is peaceful (aside from pushy timeshare sellers): The massive pool looks out onto a pristine beach, the Brio Spa has soothing decor, and the chic and spacious rooms feature private balconies and bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and walk-in showers. In the quiet area of San Jose del Cabo (as opposed to party-hearty Cabo San Lucas), the hotel is within walking distance of town and caters toward couples with its sexy open bathrooms and upscale restaurants (although there are some mixed reviews on the food). Drawbacks, however, are fairly significant -- the pool temperature is often chilly, and the beach is riddled with jellyfish.

Situated among the long stretch of mega-resorts that line the shores between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, The upscale Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa is a mostly modern property with great ocean views from its 224 rooms. You aren't near much here, so guests tend to dine, drink, and entertain themselves within the hotel's grounds. Lovely pools have beach views and dining ranges from multi-course dinners to buffets, though all-inclusive rates aren't offered. Rooms are spacious and bright, and all feature terraces with sea views. For some (particularly couples), the seclusion, quiet, and stunning setting of this resort is the major draw. Its kids' club and large rooms make it a good choice for families as well. If you'd like something with a little more contemporary style, the JW Marriott Los Cabos has stunning grounds and a quiet vibe along with similar rates. It's worth checking out as well.

The Royal Decameron Los Cabos is a mid-range all-inclusive beachfront resort for travelers looking to party day and night. This lively adults-only property is the most boisterous resort along this stretch of coastline, especially when compared to the calm Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos right next door. You'll find a boozy pool area with swim-up bar, theater, several bars, a nightclub, and decent rooms here, all making this a decent value. Upgrades to the all-inclusive plus plan will score you premium drinks and access to the rooftop pool. They also mean you won't have to bother with reservations at the Royal Decameron's a la carte restaurants. If you're after something a little more sedate, the Cabo Azul Resort and Reflect Krystal Grand Los Cabos are both similarly priced, more stylish alternatives with calmer vibes.

This family-owned, upscale boutique hotel in San José del Cabo enjoys gorgeous Pacific Ocean views from its two infinity pools, hot tub, and most of its 36 rooms. The somewhat hidden beach is a highlight here and continues to attract guests and locals for consistent waves; Mike Doyle Surf School (attached) offers quality instruction and rentals including paddleboards and beach chairs. Guests should expect (and will want) to spend money at the seafood restaurant and bar often, but there are more restaurants and a grocery store within a short drive. Also on-site: a spa, fitness center, and gift shop. Families willing to sacrifice the beach location may prefer the two-bedroom, kitchen-equipped suites at Alegranza.

The 400-room, mid-range Royal Solaris is an affordable all-inclusive option on the beach geared toward families. This attractive time-share property (beware of sales pitches) has ample amenities, including four pools, four bars, and four restaurants, two of which are a la carte (though food, overall, is not a highlight). Rooms have traditional furnishings, mini-fridges stocked with free beer and water, and balconies -- though some are tiny. Daily activities keep the masses occupied, and while the beautiful beach is typically not swimmable, it offers tons of sandy space and loungers under thatched umbrellas. Thanks to a kids' and teens' club, nightly entertainment, dance classes, and a water park, families are the norm -- but couples can relax at the spa or adult-only pool. Compare rates with the Barcelo Grand Faros, which has slightly more modern rooms.

The 500-suite Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort is a luxury adults-only all-inclusive located on a beautiful beach outside of San Jose del Cabo. Manicured grounds are sprawling (expect to walk often) and offer great views of the Sea of Cortez, especially from the two pools (one is exclusive for Preferred Club guests) and two adjoining nine-hole golf courses. Rates are among the highest in the area, but the Unlimited Luxury all-inclusive package covers all buffet and a la carte meals, top-shelf liquors, Wi-Fi, and even tips (though expect to tip on top of room rates). Suites have traditional Mexican decor, playful, romantic touches, and modern amenities such as jetted tubs, Nespresso machines, and terraces -- some are swim-out. The spa, complete with a lovely outdoor hydrotherapy area, is a highlight. Travelers seeking something a bit swankier and more hip should consider The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, though it’s not all-inclusive.

Like its famous sibling in Cancun, the adult-only Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos feels like a world unto itself. This all-inclusive luxury property offers literally everything you could need for a week of indulgence. The style here is chic and contemporary, and almost every space is done up in bright hues and minimalist decor. It's a contrast to the more opulent style found at Grand Velas Los Cabos, which is Le Blanc's only direct competitor in the region. Rates include gourmet a la carte dining plus premium alcohol, and the food scores high marks from previous guests. The outdoor pool complex is easily one of the region's prettiest, and the spa -- while not quite as nice as the one at Grand Velas -- offers free hydrotherapy use.

Open nearly 30 years, this locally-owned 152-room resort is one of the lowest-priced options along the Sea of Cortez in San José del Cabo. All-inclusive packages offer decent food and basic liquors with nightly entertainment, which gets lively participation from a mostly Canadian crowd. Simple rooms have balconies (all have partial ocean views) and mini-fridges, although bathrooms could stand some updates. When not using the outdoor pool with swim-up bar, guests can take long walks on the pristine beach, or hit balls on the putting green. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the Cactus Restaurant, while beachside Wahoo Taco Bar provides snacks during the day. Free parking and Wi-Fi are provided.

The upscale, 305-room Paradisus Los Cabos is a sprawling, beachfront all-inclusive resort in between the cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Aside from spacious, elegant rooms with upscale amenities and pretty views, the resort’s top selling point is its swimmable beach, which is unusual in San Jose del Cabo, where waters are rough. With separate adults-only and family-friendly sections, the Paradisus by Melia draws all types of travelers seeking a fun, relaxing vacation by the sea. The pool -- offering loungers, a few cabanas, and a lively swim-up bar -- is a definite highlight, as is the spa, complete with six treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy area, a salon, and a well-equipped gym. Dining is good and varied thanks to seven restaurants, including a Basque eatery helmed by 10-Michelin-starred Spanish Chef Martin Berasategui. It’s worth considering the similarly upscale Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos all-inclusive resort, which tends to have cheaper rates.
