Downtown San Jose del Cabo 5 Stars Hotels

"We’ve made it our unofficial hobby to “research” most of the major Cabo resorts, One&Only Palmilla, Four Seasons Costa Palmas, Nobu… tough life, we know. So when we arrived here, we’ll admit, first impressions had us a little unsure. The hotel sits right off the main road (not exactly the dramatic, guarded-gates entrance we had imagined), and the lobby felt… let’s say “cozy.” For a brief moment, we wondered if we’d made a mistake. And then we saw the view. Instant mood reversal. The property opens up beautifully, with buildings cascading toward the ocean and villas stretching toward the beach. We initially upgraded to a three-bedroom villa… and then, in a completely rational and not-at-all indulgent decision, upgraded ourselves again to a 4/5-bedroom villa “for privacy.” No regrets. Thanks to a large part to Mr. Torres. The views? Unreal. The service? Even better. Our butlers, Jacob and Victor, absolutely nailed that perfect balance of attentiveness without ever feeling intrusive, something even some of the top-tier resorts don’t always get right. Every single staff member we interacted with was warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Special shoutout to the beach staff, who were consistently fantastic. Safe to say, we’re already planning a return, and maybe even plotting a more permanent arrangement (villa ownership is suddenly sounding like a very reasonable idea). Nothing but great things to say about the Viceroy."
