Grand Velas Los Cabos | Mexico
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
Grand Velas Los Cabos is the definitive choice for the ultra-luxury traveler who wants the ease of an all-inclusive without sacrificing world-class culinary standards or refined service. It is a sanctuary for multi-generational families and gourmands, though travelers seeking a naturally swimmable beach directly in front of the resort or a lively 'party' atmosphere should look elsewhere. The signature experience is the Michelin-starred Cocina de Autor, a culinary tour de force that makes the journey worth it for the dining alone.
