Luxury resort with plunge pools, butler service, and ocean views
"Bringing the Reserve brand’s ultra-luxury ethos to San José del Cabo, this resort perches high above the dunes with cinematic views of the Sea of Cortez and feels more like a private estate than a hotel, with each guest cared for by a personal tosoani (“dream watchers”) under Ritz-Carlton’s elite “Ladies and Gentlemen” philosophy of service. Its 114 rooms and suites come with a mix of plunge pools and terraces with horizon-stretching views, while multi-bedroom residences and a villa cater especially well to families. Add whale watching from your terrace, a Cousteau-inspired Ambassadors of the Environment program for kids, and a sensory-led wellness program, and you’ll leave rested, restored, and ready to plot your return." - Lissa Poirot

"Where desert dunes meet the sea, this Reserve property blends indoor-outdoor living (sliding glass doors, private plunge pools) with Mexican artisan decor across 113 rooms, suites, and villas; highlights include fine dining overlooking the Sea of Cortez, championship golf, multiple turquoise pools with white-glove service, and a nature-infused spa that centers water, sound, heat, and touch for transformative treatments. The resort is positioned as the brand’s first Reserve in the country and has been recognized by Travel + Leisure; practical notes include accessible public spaces and a wide range of in-room accessibility features, complimentary parking options, a small-pet policy with fees, and a luxury price point. Be aware that many experiences at the property are expensive—a baseline example: a 60-minute spa massage can cost over $300 before tip." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.
