2026 Park Hyatt Cabo Del Sol Review
Welcome back to another resort review, this time in Los Cabos, Mexico at the brand-new Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol. It is one of the newest properties in World of Hyatt, and as a Category 8, now up to 75,000 points per night on peak dates! As a Globalist I had to get down here and check it out for myself. Here is the full tour and review.
How to Book: World of Hyatt Points and Privé
A few things that make the points and elite angle work here. World of Hyatt members on points, as well as Globalists, do not pay the resort fee, which is a real saving at a property like this, which charges at 15% “service charge” on all paid rates. That means the more expensive your dates are, the more you’ll pay in fees!
I used a Suite Night Award and got suite 815, a one-bedroom suite with an ocean-view plunge pool, which is the best suite you can confirm with an SNA. It helped that the resort was nearly empty, maybe 10 to 20 rooms occupied, so they put us in a great oceanfront building close to the beach club. If you would rather pay cash, my agency can book you a Hyatt Privé rate that includes free breakfast, a property credit, and a confirmed upgrade at the time of booking.

The Lobby and First Impressions
The property is located in the Cabo del Sol development, which is also home to the Four Seasons Cabo del Sol. At the Park Hyatt, you’ll arrive at an open-air, town-square style lobby which I loved. It’s also beautiful in the evenings.
The whole resort design leans modernist, so if that's your design taste you'll love it.
At check in, they greeted us with a welcome juice and hibiscus tea. I would’ve liked a margarita option.
Off the lobby there's a coffee and snack store, Dátil, that also serves as the gift shop, and is the most casual spot on property. One restaurant, Silán, wasn't open yet during our visit, so its menu was being served down at the beach club. Silán’s bar serves as the lobby bar currently, and is open.
The Suite
We were escorted to our room by golf cart with our ambassador, who acts as your butler and activities contact during the stay. The architecture as I mentioned is modern. It's not my personal style for Mexico, where I like a more lived-in feel, but it will absolutely be someone's cup of tea.
Once inside our suite, I was impressed. You have a guest bathroom as soon as you walk in, and past that is the living room. The suite fit our family of four with two young kids nicely, and the couch pulls out if you need it.
Fair warning, I hit my head on a corner lamp in the living room more than once chasing my toddler around. It’s annoyingly placed near the entrance to the outdoor pool area as well.
The mini bar is beautifully designed and stocked with high-end liquor. Coffee, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks are included (only coffee is refilled complimentary). The room also has a Bose speaker, coffee table books, and custom postcards by the bed, which is a fun souvenir to take home.
In the master bedroom, you’ll find an oversized king bed, which was quite comfortable. Plenty of space to charge devices, and a television to keep up with the world at large if you need it.
The best feature of the oceanview plunge pool suite, besides the plunge pool of course, is the master bathroom. If you watch the channel you know I often complain that suite bathrooms don't live up to the rest of the room. Not here. You get a walk-in closet stocked with the little things you actually need in Mexico (bug spray, iron, steamer, luggage rack), a separate toilet room, a stunning shower in limestone-style stone, and a full tub with bath salts and double sinks.
The plunge pools here all sit on the lower levels, so you don't get the sweeping high-floor ocean views you may have seen at other Mexico resorts on the channel. Ours had a real ocean view, but the beach club crept into the frame and it didn't feel fully private. At sunset, though, the view over the Cabo del Sol golf course paired with the ocean was a highlight for me as a big golf fan.
The Beach Club and the Pools
The beach club, Costa Mar, is a success. Great bar, a restaurant running Mediterranean-leaning menus, and a beautiful modern pool, though that pool is adults-only. With so few people on property I almost wish the kids could have access it, but it's probably the right long-term call. The beach and ocean views are gorgeous, and unlike some parts of Mexico there's no seaweed problem in Cabo. The catch, and this is true of most Cabo resorts, is that you usually can't swim in the ocean here because of the surf.
The main pool area is huge, with four or five pools of different vibes, all open to every age, plus the poolside restaurant Mesa Madre at the back. There's still some light construction for a coming Soho House members club that looks Tuscan-themed and should blend in nicely when complete. The pools overlook the ocean and a par 3 on the golf course, and the blue on these pools is unreal. With the resort so empty it felt like we had the place to ourselves. When it's fully open there will be plenty of room to spread out.
Dining (And Prices)
The food was solid across the board. Mesa Madre handles breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including the Globalist breakfast, with indoor and outdoor seating. I did have to beg for the breakfast to go, which I thought was a tad ridiculous at this caliber of hotel. Many Park Hyatts allow room service for Globalists. I’d love to see that here. We also ate dinner outside at sunset, and the bread service and cheese empanadas were excellent.
Here’s the biggest tip from this review: this resort prices food and beverage very high. The empanada starter was $30, for 3 tiny helpings. At Mesa Madre I saw a $50 burger. Margaritas at dinner were about $60 after tax and tip. Even the Globalist breakfast would have run around $220 for three entrees, juices, and a coffee if you were paying. The quality is there, but go in knowing the potential sticker shock when the bill comes. They're clearly positioning this as one of the most expensive, most luxurious corners of Cabo. There’s a Cartier opening soon in the mall up the hill, if that gives you an indication of your surroundings.
Spa, Fitness, and the Grounds
The spa and fitness center near the lobby is a beautiful space, with treatment rooms, water features, and an adults-only spa pool. The fitness center has a dramatic entrance and overlooks the spa, there's an outdoor workout area, and they run fitness classes if that's your thing on vacation. There's also event space, a great lawn, a convention center, and an included kids club. The property is less than six months old, so the landscaping is still growing in. Mexico resorts do gardening better than anywhere, so this place will only look better in a year.
Final Thoughts
We've stayed at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, the Thompson properties like The Cape, the Hyatt Place, and others non-Hyatts over the years. The service at the Park Hyatt was incredible, though that's easy with about 20 people on property. Honestly, I still love The Cape for being closer to Cabo San Lucas with better views and more fair pricing, and the Hyatt Ziva is a great deal if you find a good cash rate. With so many options in Cabo, this is probably a one-and-done for me. But it might be perfect for you, especially for a convention, a sales meeting, or a quick luxury weekend from the West Coast.
