Cabo Azul Resort

We have been here 3 times over 3 years for a total of six weeks. It is an absolutely beautiful resort. The maintenance and cleanliness is superb. All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Mariana at the pool. She always went above and beyond and with a smile because “she absolutely loves her job.” Such a joy to see. It would be a 5 star resort review, but unfortunately the prices are increasing quite a bit each year. But, still well worth the visit.

We have been coming to Cabo for 20+ years and have stayed in many different accommodations, from lavish hotels to an Airbnb on the East Cape. This hotel always peaked my interest due to its San Jose location and proximity to some of our favorite restaurants. We rented a Junior Suite with a balcony. I’ve always had an ocean view at every place we stay, so I was surprised to see our room window and balcony faced directly into the hallway of another building. We had absolutely zero privacy. The front desk would do nothing to change. We agreed never to return and deal with it for 4 nights. We were also collecting intel for our daughter’s wedding next year in Cabo….Cabo Azul wasn’t looking good. That night our neighbors talked loudly and partied to 4am on their balcony. We didn’t file a complaint but apparently others did. After much deliberation, we were moved to a ground floor room that looked into someone else’s patio. It was at least quiet. In the morning, we were awoken to cigarette smoke drifting into our room from both sides of us. 20+ years and never had a smoker around. It’s also illegal to smoke in Cabo hotels on balconies. The positives of this place are the staff at the pool and bar area. Their service was exceptional and rivaled the Viceroy and JW, both in the area. I give them 5+ stars. The food was a bit pricey but I think the quality was outstanding. Overall, the design of Cabo Azul was a fish bowl. Most of the rooms looked into others and that’s not what I want on vacation. We are now in San Lucas and our balcony is feet from the water, I can hear waves, breathe fresh air and the No Bad Days of Cabo can start.

This is a gorgeous resort! Impeccably maintained; the cleaning staff and maintenance crew were always working on something. My family enjoyed a variety of available activities from Spanish lessons to Aqua Zumba. The pools are gorgeous and large so you never feel crowded. You cannot swim in the ocean here due to the rip tides but it was beautiful to walk along and staff were good at making sure patrons were aware of the safety risk. The kitchen was well stocked. There was one washer and dryer on our floor which we used and noticed in use just one other time. The concierge was helpful in planning activities and sharing information on the area. Will definitely plan to go again!

We love this hotel, it’s fantastic if you’re traveling as a couple or with the children. The kitchen is a great addition to any family to save on eating every meal at the resort or in town. The beach is beautiful. The ocean isn’t swimmable, however lots of pools. Theres a shop on property it’s expensive however it’s nice if you’re needing food for your kitchen quickly. What I also love is you never have worry about getting a chair and umbrella at the pool or beach. Spa is very peaceful and the staff all over the hotel are all helpful and friendly. We have stayed 4 times over the years. Very close to Flora Farms for a nice dinner and town. Thursday has a fun Art walk. Make reservations if you’re going to eat in town, seems to get very busy. Ubers or taxis are easy to grab too.

We are experienced timeshare owners and have visited many places but Cabo Azul is now our top pick! The resort is absolutely gorgeous, with 3 large infinity pools, hot tubs and 2 courtyard pools (with hot tubs). The main pool area is pretty busy, esp since the bar is there (2 for 1 happy hour 3:00-5:00 daily). The courtyard pools are like being in a spa oasis. So quiet, not many people at all and spa music playing. Note: not sure why reviews state that you cannot bring your own drinks and tumblers— we did, as did a lot of people. Rooms are quiet— never heard traffic, music or people (we were in room 6404). You can walk on the beach and dip your toes in but swimming is prohibited. Cabo Azul has lounge chairs and palapas on the beach— plenty to choose from. The rooms are so clean and well-cared for. Daily touch-up service is such a nice touch! They also have turn down service. We used the Cabo Airport Shuttle service from the airport. Very reputable, safe and convenient. We paid $35 extra for a stop at La Comer grocery store to stock our kitchen and bar needs :) Very affordable and a huge store! Buy your own water, even for brushing teeth, just to err on the side of caution.. The ice machines are purified so that is safe. We walked across the street and had outstanding local food at La Mexicana! There are a lot of options besides the pricey hotel restaurants. We walked about 1/2 mile to OXXO which is a convenience store (cheap beer!). We felt safe walking during the day and at night. Streets are very clean and locals are so nice and inviting, esp if you attempt to speak Spanish (it helps to know basics!). The only complaint I have (and it’s picky), is that the bath towels are pretty hard and scratchy. The provide nice waffle material robes which is a nice touch but slightly sunburned skin doesn’t like scratchy towels :) We cannot wait to come back with our teenage sons to show them what a topnotch resort this is!
