Best Pool Hotels in Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas

Located in Cabo San Lucas, this sprawling all-inclusive resort lures travelers with its enviable access to the downtown area, as well as its versatile array of family-friendly amenities. Traveling clans praise the resort's children's pool, Kids Club (for guests ages 4 to 11) and youth-friendly dining venues. Plus, the airy accommodations – appointed with kitchenettes, living areas and ocean-facing balconies or patios – provide optimal space for larger groups. Parents looking to unwind can sign up for a massage or body treatment at the award-winning Armonia Spa at Sunset Beach, while golfers can venture to pristine fairways at the nearby Quivira Golf Club, situated next to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort (note: these activities are not covered in the all-inclusive room rates). When you're ready to refuel, you'll have your pick of several on-site dining establishments. However, not all are included in the all-inclusive rates, and some – like LaFrida – require an extra cover fee per person. Should this pose a problem, just stroll into downtown Cabo San Lucas to sample some authentic dishes and get a taste of the lively cultural scene.

This all-inclusive resort is located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. Not only does the resort sit between the city's picturesque marina and the beach, but it also puts guests within walking distance to top attractions like Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach) and Land's End. Along with the hotel's excellent location, guests were pleased with the quality of customer service, with many saying it was the highlight of their stay. Dining, on the other hand, was a different story. There are four on-site restaurants, including the buffet at Don Diego, but many guests said the food was hit-or-miss. Though the adults-only pool, with its swim-up bar, was a traveler favorite. Meanwhile, rooms feature tiled floors, light wooden decor and a crisp white color palette. Amenities include in-room coffee makers, free Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs, minibars and a balcony or terrace. All-inclusive rates cover meals and drinks, unlimited tennis, access to the kids clubs and daily activity programs, such as fitness classes, pool games and beach activities.

Sitting about 3 miles southwest of downtown Cabo San Lucas, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort draws travelers looking for a secluded getaway. All 201 rooms and suites feature beige- and coffee-colored decor, minibars, satellite TVs and internet access. If you come to catch some rays, you'll find plenty of room to sprawl across the resort's 2½-mile-long sandy beach (just don't dive in; the rough waves and high surf make the water unsafe for swimming). After you've had enough sun, head to one of the resort's two refreshing pools to cool off. Should you prefer a little more activity, you can tee off at the resort's Quivira Golf Club or venture to downtown Cabo San Lucas to soak up the sights and nightlife. Whether you linger on the resort or embark on an off-site excursion, you can refuel at one of the property's five restaurants. For an extra dose of relaxation, unwind at the award-winning Armonia Spa. Just keep in mind this all-inclusive property is for adults only, so if you've got little ones in tow, you'll want to stay elsewhere.
