Marquis Los Cabos All-Inclusive Resort & Spa

The grandeur of the Marquis Los Cabos Resort and Spa is on immediate display with expansive white wings and a circular stone driveway. Guests are greeted by a massive open-air lobby which extends through to a decorative infinity pool and stunning views of the Sea of Cortez. The tranquil and laid-back resort exudes a simple opulence throughout with modern white couches, high white walls, and decorative Roman sculptures -- all without seeming overdone. Black stone seeded walkways lead the way through perfectly manicured grounds and lovely open terraces.

A quiet vibe permeates throughout the hotel, slow jazz is played on garden speakers out by the pools. A small social scene is active at the center pool where the activity staff organizes water volleyball games and stretching (a slow paced yoga). With two infinity pools stretching the length of the hotel, guests can choose however much socialization and activity they wish to partake in or get away from it all. Bar Suspiro, the main bar, opens in the afternoon, and is a popular spot for guests to hang out before dinner watching sports or socializing with one another. Note that kids are not allowed at the resort.

Playa El Medano, the most swimmable beach in Los Cabos, is an 18-minute drive from the hotel. The small, quaint town of San Jose del Cabo is a 15-minute drive from the Marquis.
