What Do People Think About Staying At Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa?
Stayed here with my family in Jan 2025. One of the shower doors was missing and broken glass was on the floor. We let front desk know but it took multiple tries and days to get a replacement door and the glass cleaned up.
We also opted for a group airport transportation but was charged for a private transportation. I brought it up with their concierge and they supposedly issued a refund with a receipt. It has been months and the refund has not been issued. I tried to file a claim with my credit card company but the hotel is saying that it is a legitimate charge.
The views are nice but not worth the headache.

We stayed last year after Christmas, thru the New Years. Great place, love the rooms, location, pools, beautiful and fun, but the service was a bit on the fence. Several times at breakfast, they tried to overcharge - specially if it's bigger group and people paid separately and left earlier, they tried to say they didn't pay, and add drinks to the last person. Then they tried to charge for breakfast, even tho my mother in law had a free breakfast on the room, and another time tried to charge my 3 year old. Very shady. Just watch out for all that. Otherwise, very nice place.
This place is amazing!! I booked this place for a work trip. Grand total of 62 people.
We had no issues getting rooms and getting taken care of all thanks to Vanessa Delgado!!! She's absolutely wonderful in every single way!!! She helped take care of my group and is amazing at her job.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful!
The all-inclusive is the way to go!!! BUT there are exceptions so make sure you pay attention to that! Room service not included, certain wines and fancy drinks not included. At the restaurants they have a star next to the meals that are not included BUT you do get a discount if you want those.
Just make sure you read the paper they give you when you check in!
We had a family come with us and they LOVED the kids club!!
The food was good. We were obsessed with the taco place in the middle of the resort. Fast service and the food was really good!!
The shower though has a really tall ledge to get in and out over, very hard for seniors or anyone really. I had a team member fall and hurt is back because of it.
The pools are amazing!!
Can't swim on the beach. The water is extremely dangerous. BUT you can still walk on the beach and hang out on the beach.
The entertainment staff was INCREDIBLE!!!
The location is stunning. It's a 40-50min uber/taxi/shuttle ride from the airport but it's a good easy ride. Really pretty!
Overall 10 out of 10 recommend.
I will be back. 🥰
Thank you for a great trip!

First time to Playa Grande.
- Location was amazing. Views amazing. (Not a swimming beach, too dangerous)
- Service is 5 stars. The people there were very nice and welcoming.
- Room amenities are the only thing keeping it from 5/5 stars. They were a bit dated and worn out but they are doing renovations so hopefully this gets fixed by next year. (Beds though were hard and squeaky to sleep in.)
-Passed on the spa. But it looked beautiful. (Too pricey compared to too spas right on the beach sands in town.)
- Outdoor pools and jacuzzies were amazing and each a slightly different temperature to ones liking.
- Walking distance to the town shops, restaurants, and nightlife. ($5 Uber/$10 taxi to anywhere in town if you don't want to walk to the far side of town/harbor)
Overall Playa Grande was a great experience and my family and I look forward to going again soon!

This resort was so perfect. The rooms were spacious and enough room for 2 adults & 3 kids with a private space for adults and a kitchenette and fridge. Everyone here was so friendly and we had a ton of fun. I loved how you don’t need to get all inclusive as there are many places to walk to and you can bring your own things! We opted for the breakfast included which was well worth it! Beach and pool were amazing, we saw crabs and beautiful whales from shore. You cannot swim at the beach by the resort which is a drawback but we did take a water taxi to Lover’s beach which was easy and well worth it. You can walk to the marina from the hotel and around town.
I can't say enough great things about Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. The resort itself is stunning—beautiful views, clean and spacious rooms, and the perfect mix of relaxation and fun.
But what really made our stay unforgettable was the entertainment crew. They brought the energy every single day and made sure everyone was having a blast. From poolside games to evening shows, they kept the vibes high and the smiles wide. Huge shoutout to them for creating such a fun and welcoming atmosphere—we genuinely looked forward to seeing them each day!
If you're headed to Cabo and want the full resort experience with amazing service and the best entertainment team around, Playa Grande is the place to be!

Location is awesome. The food is a bit above average. When the pool is crowded , it takes a while to get someone to take your order. Rooms are clean, mattress hard. More for families and frat boys. If your over 50, stay at grand Solmar, more modern and classy, better restaurants.
Activity crew is great, so many options each day and they bring the energy! Water aerobics, beach volleyball, water volleyball, corn hole tournaments, blackjack, poker and bingo. Lots of free entertainment. Resort also has mini golf (holes themselves could use a little maintenance). My boys all had fun (18, 16, 12). We were surprised to be able to find seats each morning by pool (and not having to "claim" by sunrise like most resorts). Food and service were good as well.
Gorgeous property. Lots of pools. Pretty beach but NOT swimmable. Youthful atmosphere. Most of the staff was wonderful but conceriege was not helpful about checking lost and found for my prescription sun glasses.
We have owned a timeshare here since 2007. It's a Fabulous location close to the Marina in Cabo San Lucas. Martin in the bar area is Excellent. One of the ladies and him made a large group Mexican coffees! I will have one before I leave! The people who work here are Amazing! Our housekeeper this week is Ricardo and he is Wonderful! The whales are plentiful to watch this year too! We Love Cabo!
Rooms very cold. Heater does not work. Tried to get help at desk with zero results. Told there was nothing they could do. Had to wear coat in rooms. Warmer outside.
Great hotel. Friendly staff and super clean rooms. Walking distance to downtown.
My stay at Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa in Cabo San Lucas was unforgettable. The resort’s Mexican décor and spacious suites made me feel comfortable and immersed in the local culture. My room had a private balcony with stunning ocean views, which I loved. The infinity pools with swim-up bars were perfect for relaxing, and the spa treatments left me completely rejuvenated. Its location on a private beach provided tranquility, yet I could easily walk to downtown Cabo for dining and nightlife. While the food was a bit pricey and the beach isn’t swimmable, the friendly staff and overall experience more than made up for it. I’d happily return!
20 years later and it's still wonderful. Great place. Great staff. Excellent location. Don't let this secret place out.
The resort boasts stunning views and a beautiful setting, with a mostly empty beach providing a peaceful retreat. No water access due to currents. The staff are warm and welcoming, but sales inclined. There are some fun activities, including entertaining themed nights. Its convenient location is just a 10-minute walk from shopping and restaurants.
However, the resort's food is underwhelming, with overpriced buffet options offering average, plain dishes. One disappointing moment was spotting birds eating from the buffet. The pools are often crowded, and lounge chairs are nearly impossible to secure unless you claim them early in the morning. Additionally, the hot tub is frequently filled with young children during the day and evening, making it less relaxing. While the resort does offer an adults-only area, it was off-limits to us since we were traveling with a teen.

I have stayed at playa grande 8 times now. In all types of rooms. Here’s all of my opinions on Playa Grande.
1) There is so much to do at the resort. This is great if you’re active, have a family or kids, or if you don’t want to just lay by the pool all day. Every day there are different activities and they have the best entertainment staff of anywhere I’ve ever stayed. Aimee, Salma, Rodrigo, and Eduardo are all incredible at their jobs and they truly do treat you like family. Daily activities can include: beach and/or pool volleyball, poker, black jack, Spanish lessons, yoga, water aerobics, bracelet making, stretching classes, cornhole or ping pong tournaments, among many other things. Things start to shut down pretty early though which leaves not much to do during the evenings.
2) I don’t think the all inclusive is worth it unless you plan to do nothing in town and you plan to drink A LOT. Instead, we drink during happy hour which is twice a day (11am-noon and 3pm-4pm) and all the drinks are 2 for 1. They also have a daily drink special that is 2 for 1 the whole day. Drinks are $12-16 each so that makes them much more reasonable and affordable. Lunch by the pool is good but we much prefer to walk into town for breakfast and dinner because there are just so many great options. They have normal bar food, sushi, a taco bar, and other good lunch options if you don’t want to leave. The breakfast buffet is also really good (~$30 per person all you can eat).
3) This is the best location. It is much quieter on this side of the marina and everything is walkable. We walk everywhere and it is so nice. You get to see so much and it’s not bad at all. It’s about 1.3 miles from the resort to the farthest side of the marina one way and we usually walk 7-12 miles a day while we’re there. You also get to watch whales jump from the poolside and they have baby turtle releases in the mornings in the winter months. The only downside is you can’t swim in the ocean at this resort due to the riptides (though in my opinion, the water is cold and not very fun to swim in)
4) I think it is better to stay below than up at the ridge. A lot of people will say the ridge is quieter, this is ONLY during the day time. At night, there is a lot of sound from the marina so you can hear music all night. (Pro tip - hang pool towels over your balcony to absorb most* of the sound). With that being said, the ridge does have its own private pools. There are 2 hot tubs and then 3 pools. One has a slide, one has a swim up bar, and one is an infinity pool with a great pool but they are all a bit chilly. Also from the ridge, it is a bit of a hike down to the normal pools and for that reason I like to stay down below where all the action is during the day. There is also an adults only area with a few pools and hot tub if you are worried about kids.
5) As for the rooms, they are fine… Nothing incredibly spectacular but they are clean and will do. The rooms on the ridge seem to be a bit older and more disgruntled. I think the best rooms are the 2 bedrooms if you have 2 families or couples, or if you have kids. The master suite does not truly sleep 5 in my opinion - in one room you have a king bed with a private bathroom. In the other room you have EITHER a futon couch thing (not a pullout mattress couch more like you move the cushions to make a bed) or it has a full sized Murphy bed. It also has a very small twin Murphy bed (only made for people under 5’10”). This is all in the common area where the kitchen and living room are and then there is another small bathroom for thus area.
Overall, as a younger person who wants to do things, this is my favorite place to stay. It’s the right balance of fun and engaging without being too much of a party scene. There’s fun things to do during the day and you can go into town for fun in the evenings. The food is 7/10 overall and the drinks are great (not strong at all which I like). The location is tough to beat and the staff are all amazing.

Just arrived, and this is going to be an awesome week.
Day five. The staff from front to back have been so friendly. I am now looking to book next Christmas. There have been zero disappointments. Even the weather has been 5 star. The whales haven't cooperating with many sightings right in front of hotel.
Just a magnificent stay!!!

Loved this resort and how close it was to the town & marina but still secure and beautiful. Service was awesome and it was so relaxing.
This beachfront resort offers a private beach and plenty of activities. However, it monetizes almost everything; there's no complimentary water or in-room coffee (each priced at $10 for 1L water and coffee grounds). Parking is limited, with few covered spots often forcing guests to park on the street, especially challenging in hot weather.
If I could give 10 stars each I would. We stayed on the Ridge as always and invited family to join us.
Our guest were impressed by the friendly professional staff, service and beautiful grounds.
From the front desk, housekeeping, bartenders, restaurant staff and landscaping crew.
This resort knows what top service is! They take care of their guest & the property.
Standouts: Racielle the bar manager at the Ridge. Lower level pool service Daniel, Ramone, Mariam and Julio Caesar Thank you for making us feel like we were your only guests. 💯
See you next year!

Great resort close to all the shops, entertainment and local eats. Plenty pools to choose from and the private beach is a plus, unfortunately can't swim in due to the current
Great stay. Excellent location. Very nice, clean rooms. Excellent buffet, pools, restaurants, beach access, coffee / ice cream bar, general store. Great view. Great value.
Beautiful, great location and service was exceptional; family oriented.
Our flight was cancelled due to weather. There is only one flight per day so we could not arrive to the hotel until the next day. The hotel refused to refund our first night stay. Very disappointing:(
Will not be staying here again, ONLY because we were not able to get a room further away from the port where the hostel across the street has their ridiculously loud music going until 11:30pm every night. Tried wearing earplugs but the vibration of the music could be felt, not just heard. How is it that one establishment is allowed to demolish the ability for anyone to sleep in the hundreds of resort rooms that face the marina. This should be illegal. We spent thousands of dollars to stay in a 4-star resort and yet a hostel which rents rooms by the bunk can ruin the week. I dreaded each night having to try and fall asleep before midnight. We would try and sleep around 10pm and had to get up earlier in the mornings for day excursions. It completely ruined our stay. Even at the presidential suite, I would have settled for a smaller room closer to the coast and as far away from that music as possible.
I have to say that the resort itself, the cleanliness of the entire area is beautiful. The adult only pools were fabulous and the staff is all beyond friendly and helpful. It’s truly the music bumping at all hours of the night that completely ruined it for us. Even a guy in the next building was yelling out his balcony “shut up” because we were fed up with the relentless music vibrations our windows.

Beautiful place and great hospitality and services , very clean and beautiful place to stay in and very friendly .
Without a doubt the best Hotel in Cabos, I only wish there were more Latin people, being surrounded by pure Americans is uncomfortable but at no time did I suffer from racism and everyone is very friendly, you just have to go with a lot of money because the prices are very excessive and I would like activities like the pool or golf to be open later
Very relaxing. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food is ok. I'd suggest going into town for some of your meals unless you are there to be by the pool your entire visit.
They have beach parties they charge for. They give some people discounts and we asked as we have kids that are 13 & 16 so they don’t drink. They tried to charge them as adults at the time they are giving 15 or even 30 % discounts to guest and we did not get ours so we did not do the beach party. Frustrating to find this out after the party.
My family of 5 stayed 4 days & 3 nights. All staff was very attentive and professional. The property is gated so if driving you must stop at gate and check in w the guard. Added security in my opinion. Views of the Pacific Ocean right from our room and a short walk to the marina. Would consider staying there again
Rooms are great especially for big families. The room assigned to myself was a bit of a journey from the lobby. Decor needs some work. Service was good. Location was good right across from the marina and tourist area. Overall, a decent stay for a decent price.
Loved our stay. We were in the private section of the resort with our own pools, hot tub and bar. Great views from up there. Walking distance to down town. Only down side I'd say is that we didn't do the all inclusive drink and food, which meant we couldn't play mini golf..... unless we paid $21 per person. $63 to play mini golf for 3 people.... yeah no thanks. Saw zero people the entire 5 days we were there playing. Odd they would rather zero play than let people play for free or cheaper than $21 per person.
This resort is very nice and kept up well. There were 4 of us on the all inclusive plan . Food was good and we enjoyed the sports bar. The all inclusive plan was annoying. You had to sign for everything and room service was not included. Towards the end of the week Cabo was hit with a hurricane. It was really bad that the hotel closed all the elevators. We stayed on the Ridge which all the roads were flooded and there were 80 mph winds. We are all senior citizens and one person in our party is disabled and used a cane. We called the front desk to see if they were going to make an exception to there room service plan. The front desk did not care about our situation and made us walk down 8 flights of stairs through pouring rain and winds. We then had to argue to take food back to our room. We asked to speak with a manager and he was busy and was going to call us back. We NEVER heard from them. When we were checking out we had to have a fit for them to help us with our luggage. The fact that we paid good money for the all inclusive and couldn't use it during the storm. I felt management didn't care at all. Keep in mind we could get room service if we paid for it. This resorts emergency plans were pathetic. Thank goodness the storm wasn't too bad and only lasted 2 days. Also the flies and bees were bothersome. Will not recommend this resort in the future.
Absolutely top notch resort. We had the Presidential Suite on the 6th floor with a main balcony and 2 bedroom balconies that overlooked the common area and had a direct view of the Pacific Ocean. The sunrise was breathtaking! The food was terrific at all of the venues that we used including the sports bar, the fancy restaurant by the beach, the outdoor breakfast buffet, and the pool bar. There is a very convenient store on site that has most everything you would need. We really liked the proximity to the marina. We were able to walk to/from town almost every day. Highly recommend this resort!
Pretty nice place with lots of room for a family of four. It has three large pools and an adult only pool. There aren't a lot of drunks hanging out. The rooms are very quiet. They keep you busy with activities and games during the day. They have mini golf and a beach party one night. Food is pretty good too. The shrimp wrapped in bacon was the best meal of the week. Italian night was delicious. We did the meal plan which included all the food, drinks and snacks. We would stay here again. The bedroom had a king size bed and the sofa rolled down to accommodate two kids. There was also an additional cot in the closet.
This was my second time at Playa Grande. We did all inclusive for 4 days (in the past at different places we have been all inclusive service is poor) our service was very good! We tipped the waiter at the beginning of the day. To let them know we will take care of you if you take care of us, and left a larger tip at the end of the day. We tried to stay with the same waiter everyday. Fernando and Mariam were very good about taking care of us and our larger group of 15 people. The food at the resort is very good. We paid for all inclusive and ate and drank during the day and went down town for dinner and drinks in the evening and still got our money worth!! We will absolutely be back again!
The view from the roof to Pool is amazing! You can see in almost every direction for miles. The bars are well stocked with the good stuff and the food is pretty good. We along stayed 3 nights before we moved to a different resort a little bit north. What I liked about this Grande is you can easily walk to the docks and down town for all type of food and drinks and activities. Had some of the best street taco on my life just a block off the main drag. The rooms could be a little cleaner and service a little more prompt. Over all for the price point a solid hotel.
I have pros and cons… They overcharged us on a few occasions. When we checked in, they attempted to tell us we did not purchase the “all-inclusive” option (although we had the receipts to prove it) and charged us an extra $850. With reading previous reviews it seems like this may be a reoccurring problem. When we went to confirm our shuttle back to the airport they charged us an additional $21 for an explanation they could not give. If you are wanting to go to a more relaxing resort, I would personally steer away from this one as loud music is played all day long until about 6-8? The food is 7/10, all of the restaurants listed on the site are not always open. (Open on certain days throughout the week- and EVEN if you have an all-inclusive plan, it’s not all-inclusive. They charge more for certain foods/ meals.) When it states “all-inclusive” read the fine print. For some it may not be a big deal, but for others like myself their rules and restrictions on “all-inclusive” are a little odd. Room service is not included, certain meals/foods they charge you for, and you can’t take your food to go from a restaurant without being charged a fee) On a positive note, the restaurant and housekeeping staff were lovely, the resort is overall really clean and beautiful. We had family staying two resorts over and they were really accommodating with taking us back and forth. I do not think I would come back to this resort, but there were other guests we met during our time there that loved it. It just depends on what you are looking to get out of in a vacation.
Overall a great experience! Location is perfect right near downtown, which worked well because we chose not to do the all inclusive. We did a lot of excursions so figured it wouldn’t be worth it, however, I wish they’d had an option for all inclusive just for 1 day at least for the day we chose to spend hanging by the pool. Drinks are expensive yes, but they do offer lots of options like a happy hour on food and drinks. Waiters were attentive, and the room was massive with a beautiful view.
Also, I saw some reviews about check in and I’ll add my two cents. I was worried we’d be hassled for the time share, but honestly it was very quick. Yes we had to go see the time share staff to get pool towel slips, but when we said we were all set she was very nice about sending us off after we’d said we already made reservations at excursions ahead of time.
Definitely would stay here again!
