Cabo Azul

Words cannot describe how great of an experience we had!
We stayed four nights in the penthouse and not only was the price unbelievable, the staff made it that much better. The penthouse was not only spacious, but had every amenity you’d have at home.
We arrived at noon and were able to check-​in, which was great. We then proceeded to the pool and just had a blast. Every day we sat by the pool and made sure Pedro was our server. I’m fluent in English & Spanish, so it was easy to communicate. Pedro, was funny, professional, and even gave us local restaurant recommendations. The pool butler, Angel, was very attentive as well — always saving our spots before we even came down.
Javier’s — first off, we go to the Javier’s in Vegas and this was just as good, if not better, due to the view. We ate Javier’s the first night & wish we would had eaten there every night after. We went to other fancy restaurants off the property & it was HORRIBLE! The whole infusion thing that they’re trying, just isn’t working. Anyways, back to Javier’s, it was sooooo good and the staff knew the menu very well. I can’t describe how great our experience was. I can go on and on. We’ll definitely be back this year.

It was my first time to Mexico and everyone told me to stay further in actual Cabo San Lucas. It was a short trip so opted to stay in San Jose. So glad I did. It was amazing absolutely amazing. The service we received at all times of the day/​night was amazing. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with warm towels to clean our hands and water bottles. All the pools were amazing and weren’t stifling cold. The happy hour at all the bars was great – get the Chi Chi. Hate coconut but the drink was delicious! Any question we had was answered by anyone. The location is great as well as just a walk across the street is plaza pescador where there are restaurants and shops. The completely open concept was great and was quiet at all times. I only saw two kids the whole time I was here. Took a taxi to downtown for some authentic tacos and the taxi one way was $ 7 USD. I recommend everyone stay here. The octopus ceviche by the way was AMAZING!

Pictures don’t give this resort justice!
This resort is amazing! You don’t need to go anywhere once you check in… Great food at both restaurants! Poolside food service is amazing. Cabanas by the pool and beach are beautiful. Everyone is so very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay your best vacation. I will definitely visit soon.

What a complete package. Can’t say enough great thing about Cabo Azul. From the warm reception, the beautiful grounds to the lovely rooms. Upon arrival, we were taken by the meticulous care and great service. The friendliness of the staff is the first reason to return. Their helpfulness and local knowledge added to our enjoyment. Great value for a great time. Four Seasons experience on a Hyatt budget.

I was super excited to go to Cabo Azul. I mean 5 star resort you can expect great service. Many people come from all over the world to get a great experience. But unfortunately that was the case. The services was horrible. I asked for a waiter it took about 1 hour to come. I would ask for drinks it will take 30 – 40 min to come. I mean horrible services. I spoke to management about it and told me he said he will fix it right away. You will think complimentary drinks for the bad experience… no way! The food was good but by the time it would come to us it was too late. I’m really disappointed for the experience. I wouldn’t recommend it to any of my friends. I will defiantly not come back. I travel so much and my friends always ask me for recommendations for destinations/​Resort and this resort won’t be in one of them. #SorryNotSorry
I’m a photographer and took some great pictures of the resort. The décor was beautiful and phenomenal. But that pretty much it. Diamond resort contact me by Instagram trying to use my pic. I defiantly decline that!
Then our villa was having issues with not having hot water and the toilet was making a noise. You would think they would move us. Guess again! They said they fix the problem. But next morning no hot water again. Here it goes me calling again.
Just inconvenient for me and my guest. Last day,
called in for a late check out. Check out is at 10:00am. I need one more hour. They decline my late check in due to another party coming to this villa. I call Bullshit!
This resort has a slogan «we always say yes»! They need to change that!
Anyways,
If your coming to Cabo and need recommendations I highly recommend Cabo surf hotel and palmilla.
To do activities:
Sunset cruise with Pezgato! Super fun!
Flora’s Farm for brunch! Super cute and great for pictures!
Restaurants
La Osyteria

Paradise found, this resort has incredible views of the ocean set on one of the nicest properties in all of San Jose del Cabo. My family has been coming here for years, this is literally one of our most appreciated vacations we take. The staff all speak english and they put a high emphasis on service. The food is always at such a high quality it is hard to believe you are in Mexico.
There is plenty of activities to do while you stay including horseback riding, spa and lounging at one of their many pools. You cannot go wrong with a trip her, five stars !!!

My 3^rd time here and just absolutely breath taking! From the services to the food. Javier’s also witch I love. Just like back home. Rooms beautiful. Pool are perfect. Went to check out the Grand Mayan next door also beautiful, but something about Cabo Azul with there details. If can make a few suggestions I think there should be a Bloody Mary bar area by pool also with the Javier’s buffet. The Javier’s buffet was ok… Should have ordered off there menu instead. Think they need to add a Bloody Mary area (like make your own) and there was no seafood or salad bar or even some carnitas. Javier’s Buffet very disappointing, but I suggest sit outside its perfect.

Probably the nicest resort in which we’ve stayed. The service is second to none: from housekeeping up to the concierge. We stayed just off of the serenity pool area. We walked off our deck and were immediately at poolside. Although I don’t drink much, I enjoyed lounging in the heated pool and sipping my mojito.
Across the street is a strip of inexpensive restaurants and bars. My favorite was Jazz Tapas Bar with the best mojito I’ve had anywhere.

I was pretty excited about my vacation to Cabo. The photos of the resort were just gorgeous. but they always are, aren’t they? When we arrived, it was EXACTLY as the photos depict. Just gorgeous! The property is so amazing! The staff truly puts a lot of time and attention into making this resort as spectacular as it is.
We’ve never stayed in a studio room before, but I can tell you that they were really incredible. They were spacious and luxurious.
The Serenity pool which our room overlooked was so very nice and warm! I think the temperature range is 80 – 83 degrees? I’m not a swimmer but I didn’t want to get out.
The staff was very nice and attentive. We had only one occasion where somthign less than pleasant occurred. We had the «do not disturb’ sign on the door and housekeeping ignored our sign and came in our room one evening. But that can be excused.
The beach is not swimmable but there were people who were swimming. The waves were very strong, so I commend their bravery. But the beds on the beach. incredible. One of the only complaints is that there are swimming sections which are right near the non swimming section. I despise cigarette smoke, so this was no bueno. But I just moved the 1 time a smoker pulled out their cancer sticks.
Be prepared for the salespeople on the beach (outside of the resort property lines) peddling everything from beach hats to «that good weed». and everything in between. You have to just be prepared to say no and keep it moving, unless you are interested, which we weren’t. This was our experience almost everywhere we went in Cabo and not just at the beach.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay at Cabo Azul, and am anxiously awaiting my return! The 1 and 2 bedrooms are great and the villa outstanding!

The hotels décor is much nicer than the service. I absolutely love love love how this place is decorated. The room is stunning but sadly the service in the hotel has been hit or miss.
Service should matter just as much if not more.
–check in: if you advertise yourself as a luxury resort, at least pretend to be friendly and nice upon check in. I couldn’t tell the difference between a checkout lady at the grocery store and the front desk hostess at this luxury resort
–Javier restaurant Bar: customarily upon walking up to an empty bar and taking a seat alongside the bartender will within 10 minutes say hello and offer up a drink menu, this is not the case at this location– if you would like a drink, first look along the bar for a menu, wave down the bartender walking around his 15×15ft bar and ask him ever so nicely if it is ok for him to bring an ice tea and a Miami vice cocktail. Fast forward 15 minutes later to this same empty bar and still no drinks…
–Javier restaurant: on a Saturday night when there tables available outside, why are we not allowed to sit outside? And finally when we are allowed to sit, why do you preface the night with, the server will be busy and we will not be able to serve you, but Sir we can seat you inside.
If you do plan to come visit this resort, opt for «Flor de noche» the pools restaurant and bar. They were friendly and the food and drinks arrived in the amount of time they should.
I am not sure if it is a complete lack of customer service due to the type of waitstaff/​attendants that work at this resort or a deeper rooted in-​attention to detail that the resort hopes you overlook as you are stunned by the water features and beautiful scenery of the ocean. Suggestion: do not expect good service (and by good service I mean the type that you can expect to receive at your local Taco Bell) instead expect beautifully stunning scenery and a some the worst customer service available at a luxury resort. Instead opt for the nearby newly built Hyatt Ziva, where patron satisfaction is paramount!

Spectacular views! Excellent preparation for Super Bowl! Fantastic service with an excellent staff! Extremely friendly and respectful upon eye contact! I would invest my money here! The sophisticated atmosphere with a modern timeless décor is breathtaking!
They even have Mexican blankets to use if you want to sit by the window or fire pit!

I can’t say enough about Cabo Azul!
It is beautiful, rustic, romantic… there was no expense spared with the details. The torches throughout the resort provide enough light to see and sets an awesome vibe.
The suites are beyond beautiful and spacious.
Now, for what I feel sets this resort far apart from the rest. The staff is AWESOME!!! They all go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best ever.
Love you guys, can’t wait to go back?
One question, do you offer shuttle service to and from the airport?

We are diamond members so I’m a bit biased… we only signed up for our timeshare years ago because of this hotel! The hotel is absolutely stunning, everything is as it seems in the pictures, there is absolutely no false advertisement in any way! The staff is wonderful, the grounds are beautiful, rooms are unbelievably amazing. Poolside is fab, or the cabanas by the beach are just as great. I know some people complain that you can’t swim in the ocean, but duhhh… we’re in San Jose, you can’t swim anywhere in San Jose… get your facts straight, no this is not «party cabo», but if you’re looking for a fabulous relaxing time this is the place to come.

I’ve been missing Cabo Azul ever since I arrived back in Colorado. It is a zen like decorated hotel and they even have Native American flute music playing near the Serenity pools. We had a studio villa with a balcony overlooking the Serenity pool. They are spacious with a separate living area with a pull out couch, second flatscreen TV and mini fridge. The bathroom is spacious with a nice size shower. I loved the décor of the resort. The pool area is the place to be and the 3 infinity pools are gorgeous. Take pictures in the evening after sunset as the torch lights and lava fire pits come on automatically. Fire and water is a beautiful feature in the pools at night. The beach area has swinging rope beds, beach cabanas and plenty of lounge chairs perfect for a mid day siesta. You can even take a horseback ride from the beach as vendors hang out of the roped area on the beach selling silver jewelry, sarongs, and horseback rides. The beach is perfect for that sunset walk– long in both directions with nice views. We saw stingrays playing in the waves. The beach is not safe for swimming due to the rip currents but it’s a beautiful golden sand beach and we enjoyed our beach walks every day.
The fitness area is filled with all brand new equipment and we were impressed with the size of the gym. The hotel has a market and a Starbucks. I loved the peace, quiet tranquility feel of the resort. If you want the party go to Cabo but if you want pure peaceful relaxation stay here. There is a spa but I didn’t have time to check it out
Food by the pool is good but pricey. The tacos are quick and they have a salsa bar. The burger was pretty good too. Service is quite slow but the views of the beach and pool are worth it.
San Jose Del Cabo is a quick 15 – 20 minute walk. We felt completely safe and enjoyed walking to town for dinner out. The restaurants are better and less expensive than staying at the resort. Cabs are $ 7 to the square in San Jose Del Cabo. Don’t miss the Thursday night art walk.
If you plan on going to Cabo I recommend the $ 35 cab ride over the bus. It gets expensive if you prefer to be on the Cabo side as there is more to do. We spent a full day and evening on the Cabo side and it was fun but I loved coming back to the quiet and beautiful Cabo Azul. Dreaming of going back! It’s a beautiful resort.

Cabo Azul!!!
The updates are awesome. I haven’t been here since the updates from the hurricane. The beach beds are wonderful. The new section by the chapel with the bar and infinity pools are great. The entrance. Well, well, well! Magnificent. The staff is friendly, helpful accommodating. Pedro is the best! He always makes us feel welcome and at home. I did not think I could say this but this resort is even better than before. Hopefully I can come back soon.

so the only reason we came to stay at Cabo Azul is cuz our friend was going to have their destination wedding here. otherwise we would’ve picked to stay at another 5 star hotel that’s all-​inclusive. (we like not worrying about where we r having our next meal n being able to order room service late at night.)
the hotel is on the beach, but no one can swim in the ocean cuz of the rip currents so we can mainly stay at the main pools n serenity pools. (both have hot tubs.) it’s a family friendly hotel but i didn’t c a whole bunch of kids probably cuz this is a pricier resort than others. a lot quieter than the cheaper all-​inclusive resort next door. we mostly stayed at the swim-​up bar n serenity (adult) pools. the hotel has been remodeled since the last hurricane so it’s much bigger n newer. the rooms r nice n clean with a white n black theme going.
ok now I’m going to b picky about a couple of things. the resort only has 2 places to eat. one is Javier. the other Flor de Noches. they r both ok, but we prefer having more than 2 restaurants to choose from. it gets old fast especially if u r there for a whole week. also their room service closes everyday at 10:30pm. which is too early for ppl who likes to snack on things at night. many other resorts close much later.
another thing was when we checked in the lobby on the first day, before we paid for anything, the lady told us to go into the VIP office to talk to someone first. we didn’t know it was just so they can talk us into going into a timeshare presentation which lasts 2 hrs n starts at 8am. BUT u get a free breakfast buffet n $ 100 resort credit. (every service at this place costs over $ 100.) we expected this, but we didn’t know they were going to try to persuade us before we paid for our stay. we r ppl who would rather pay them to leave us lone than waste 2 hrs of our time listening to something we r not interested in for a free meal. btw: their breakfast buffet is not the best either.
one more thing our friends all encountered which bothered them was that when we all checked in, the bill for the whole weeks’ stay already included gratuity for each day n it’s really up to us wether to give more tip or not. (my friends r more than generous for good service.) a few times when we’ve already paid our bills by the pool, a waiter would remind us that we need to tip them 15%. that it is his tip. like wtf? first of all, so damn rude! second, it’s up to us to tip however much we want. no one wants to feel like they r being forced to do something.
also they don’t have much night time activities there. we mostly went into town or stayed at the hot tubs at night.
ok, one more thing I just thought of. they didn’t have slippers in the room for u when u checked in. we had to ask the front desk to get some for each of our rooms. at the other 5 star resorts, slippers were already waiting for us in our rooms. just thought that was something they would’ve done for all guests.
so this is probably our first n last stay at this resort. unless another friend has a wedding here. we would rather stay at Secrets or Dreams or Excellence. those resorts still have the best service n amenities.

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff, and a great view of the Cortez beach. My boyfriend and I came here for a wedding, the chapel is simply gorgeous with the little details surrounding it. While vacationing here my boyfriend realized 6 hours later he had lost his phone somewhere in the resort, and security was nice enough to bring it up for us and even told us to sign a release form lol. The only down side is that if you want all the action in Cabo, it’s going to be a 30 minute drive from this hotel. Cabo Azul is a very quiet resort and all the crowd here is much older and in the retired stage. If you want to party go to downtown Cabo where it’s packed with bars, a casino in a mall, booze cruises and even a hooters!

This resort is absolutely beautiful! Everything here is new and up to date, with the villas being a little «home away from home.» My husband and I came home from here today, as we spent a week for our honeymoon and I can honestly say it was the best trip ever!
Yenia and Samuel are great, and the chips and salsa are awesome. The table tacos for two at Javier’s is awesome! Get it if you have the opportunity; so good.

Everything about this resort is amazing! Honestly I was wowed my entire stay here because this place is so beautiful. From the rooms to the pool to the private beach and Javier’s restaurant, everything blows you away with beauty and elegance. After staying here once I refuse to stay anywhere else in the area except here. There was nothing more Cabo Azul could have done to make my vacation better.
Some insider tips:
HAPPY HOUR! The swim up bar at the pool has a 2 for 1 happy hour special on margaritas!
MEGA! Mega is the grocery store located a walk away from the resort. Since the rooms have a full kitchen it can save you some money to go buy groceries at Mega and use the kitchen/​fridge even if it is just for breakfast. Also, they have good deals on tours/​activities.

This review is a couple years too late but it appears not much has changed at Cabo Azul — a beautiful resort that provides impeccable accommodations and amazing staff/​service!
We came here on our honeymoon and I think I can safely say it was the best vacation my hubby and I have taken to date. Our room was bigger than our first apartment and certainly better appointed! It was so nice to have your own kitchen so you could cook on your own if you felt like it.
We enjoyed everything from the infinity pools to the swim-​up bar and restaurant and the spa (we suffered through the timeshare «hard-​sell» to get some resort credit to enjoy the spa :) The restaurant was a little pricey but not too bad for a resort like this.
Cabo Azul is 5 star all the way– can’t go wrong for any kind of romantic getaway.
