Inside One Of Cabo’s Top Hotels: Waldorf Astoria Pedregal Los Cabos
Waldorf Astoria Pedregal Los Cabos will always be one of my favorite hotels. You can’t beat a hotel that serves chips, guac, beer, and tequila as part of their turndown service. Plus, a private plunge pool doesn’t hurt either. Anytime I’m in Cabo, I make sure to at least stop by one of their restaurants even if I’m not staying there.
Accommodations
Carved into the cliffs of Pedregal Mountain, each room and suite offers sweeping views of the Pacific ocean. Choose from rooms, suites, beachfront, villas, and private homes. Turndown service includes chips, guacamole, crudité, and beer. Luxury is felt in every corner from free standing tubs and open showers, to cozy fireplaces and private plunge pools.
The Pools
Not only does every single room on property feature a private pool, the hotel offers an adults only pool with a swim up bar, a family friendly beach club area with a kid’s friendly pool, jacuzzi and shallow wading pool, plus a spa-guests only lagoon style pool. Spend the days out in the sun, ordering food and drinks right to your spot. There’s no bad seat in the house.
Spa
Top three best hotel spas I’ve ever been to. The decor, the vibe, the services, and amenities were all top notch. Choose from signature treatments, Mexican folk healing and wellness therapies, facial treatments, advanced skincare, massages, and soak rituals. After your treatment, take a dip in the private saltwater grotto lagoon pool for spa guests only. Spend as much time as you want here and order lunch right to your chair.
