Your guide to the best luxury hotels in San José del Cabo
Residences at Solaz Los Cabos · El RosaritoFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in San José del Cabo: 9 luxury hotels, from 130 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
9 luxury hotels in San José del Cabo – and how to choose
The luxury hotels in San José del Cabo cost between 130 € and 2,780 € a night, on average 610 €.
Ritz-Carlton Reserve Zadún San José del Cabo · Puerto Los CabosAt all nine the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
And on the hotel credit it pays to look closely here.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The usual amount is 100 US dollars.
A higher amount is rare.
Here there are two, and both without any condition:
• the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Zadún San José del Cabo – 150 US dollars
• the One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo – 150 US dollars
Elsewhere a higher credit is usually tied to something: from a suite up, from two nights, villas only. Not here. Here it is simply 150 US dollars.
What that means in practice: 50 percent more than usual. Over three nights that is 150 dollars – roughly dinner for two at one of these hotels.
What applies to you is always the hotel’s own terms.
Our advice: ask us about the credit before you decide, not after. We will tell you the amount that actually applies and what it covers.
Where to stay in San José del Cabo: the town or the corridor
Here is the most important sentence: only one of the nine hotels stands in the town itself.
One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo · PalmillaThe Drift San José del Cabo at 130 € sits in the Centro, in the Gallery District with its galleries and the plaza. It is also the most affordable entry in this selection. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to be out on foot in a real town in the evening rather than on a resort.
The other eight sit on the tourist corridor, the road between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas:
• at Cabo Real, kilometres 19.5 and 21.5, the Paradisus Los Cabos at 350 € and the Marquis Los Cabos Resort at 359 €
• in Puerto Los Cabos the Residences at Zadún at 700 € and the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Zadún San José del Cabo at 745 €
• in Palmilla the One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo at 859 €
• on the beach at La Playa the JW Marriott Casa Maat Los Cabos at 610 € and the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach at 265 €
• and the Residences at Solaz Los Cabos at 2,780 € at kilometre 18.5 – closer to Cabo San Lucas than to San José.
This is not a detail. Between the town centre and the corridor lies a drive, and the resorts on the corridor are built for stays where you barely leave the grounds. Both are good – they are simply two different trips.
On the outlook: 82 categories face the ocean, nine of them partially. 28 look out over the resort grounds themselves, eleven into a garden.
Our travel advisors know from which resort you reach the town centre in ten minutes.
242 categories: the best hotels in San José del Cabo from the inside
Together the best hotels in San José del Cabo offer 242 room categories – a great many for nine hotels.
Residences at Zadún · Puerto Los CabosAmong the largest units are two villas at the One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo. Also generous is a Presidential at the Marquis Los Cabos Resort at around 242 square metres.
Our travel advisors confirm the exact size of the category you want before you book. Tell us the number of bedrooms while you are at it; for the residences and villas that gets there faster than any category name.
What a night at a luxury hotel in San José del Cabo costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in San José del Cabo costs between 130 € and 2,780 €, on average 610 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Drift San José del Cabo | 130 € | 1st night |
| JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach | 265 € | 1st night |
| Paradisus Los Cabos | 350 € | 1st night |
| Marquis Los Cabos Resort | 359 € | 1st night |
| JW Marriott Casa Maat Los Cabos | 610 € | 1st night |
| Residences at Zadún | 700 € | 1st night |
| Ritz-Carlton Reserve Zadún San José del Cabo | 745 € | 1st night |
| One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo | 859 € | 1st night |
| Residences at Solaz Los Cabos | 2780 € | 1st night |
At all nine hotels the benefits apply from the first night.
The range is remarkable: between the cheapest and the dearest hotel lies a factor of 21. That is because a town hotel in the centre and several villa and residence resorts on the corridor sit side by side in the same selection.
When it is at its best: from November to May. Dry, warm, and the sea calm enough to swim. Our recommendation.
From June to October it is hot and humid, and it is hurricane season – statistically that means September above all. But rates are markedly lower then, the water is warmest, and the resorts are empty.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
In San José del Cabo all nine hotels offer breakfast and the upgrade.

And then it gets specific.
• As described above, the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Zadún San José del Cabo and the One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo pay 150 rather than 100 US dollars on the credit. The One&Only Palmilla San José Del Cabo adds another 100 from the One Bedroom Ocean Front Suite up and two nights.
• The Marquis Los Cabos Resort at 359 € is the only hotel in this selection with an all-inclusive benefit – a rarity.
• The same hotel lists explicitly what its credit covers: spa, restaurant, laundry – and telephone charges.
• The Paradisus Los Cabos gives a 50-minute massage for two.
• And the Drift San José del Cabo, the most affordable hotel here, invites you to a mezcal tasting for two with a welcome basket.
And the loyalty side: four hotels belong to Marriott Bonvoy, two to the Leaders Club. Three belong to no programme.
