I’ve been traveling to Cabo San Lucas for years, before the days of giant shopping malls and floods of tourists. I’ve stayed in both hotels and private residences. I found that the hotels closer to downtown were overcrowded, party-oriented and lacking in a luxury feel. The further away you traveled from downtown the more luxurious the hotels became and more relaxed. My only complaint was that I’m the type of traveler who likes to be in the heart of it all. Location, location, location. I can say with confidence that I’ve found the hotel that combines all these essentials into one. Luxury and sophistication mixed with convenience and location. This is what you get at The Hacienda Beach Club & Residences.
Overview
Set right on Medano Beach, Hacienda Beach Club has unobstructed Sea of Cortez views from nearly everywhere, and the charming town is just a quick drive away. The resort is ideally located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. With its own private stretch of beach, Hacienda is by far the best place to stay in Los Cabos. Within walking distance to everything, the beachfront resort redefines beachfront living. The rooms are not rooms but rather elegantly designed residences with hardwood floors, marble counters, stone finishes and more.
What to Know
Rooms: There are one, two, and three bedroom residences. There is also a slightly larger three bedroom residence that comes with a den. The largest available accommodations are the villas located along the beach.
Rates: One bedroom villa starting at $600 USD per night.
Check-Out: 12pm noon, flexible subject to availability. Check-in between 3pm and midnight. Minimum check-in age is 21.

Insider Tip
Request a room close to the main lobby and pool. I stayed in building one which is close to the main entrance and it is quite a hike to the pool, which is where most of your time will be spent!
Poolside
In addition to two outdoor swimming pools, 4 spa tubs, and a children’s pool, the hotel also has a private beach. Relax in the infinity pools while gazing out to the famous Land’s End.
Children & Pets
While you can bring the kids along, pets are not allowed at the resort.

This hotel will bring you pretty much anything you want. Room service is available during restaurant hours.
