La Playa Hotels near San José del Cabo

"Great pools. Good drinks. Very clean and well maintained. Only two of the restaurants are a la carte but overall food was quite decent. . "

"We stayed one week at the Riu Palace with family and friends and overall had a great experience. I shared a swim-up pool room with my girlfriend, and the biggest standout was the cleanliness. This was honestly one of the cleanest resorts I’ve ever stayed at 5/5. Staff constantly cleaned. The food was another huge highlight. I’m normally not a buffet person, but the buffet here was excellent — some of the best resort food I’ve had. Family and friends enjoyed the specialty restaurants too. Food gets another 5/5. The value for the money was definitely worth it, especially with access to the Santa Fe and Baja California resorts. Customer service 3.8/5 was mostly good, but communication could sometimes be difficult because limited staff spoke enough English to assist with questions. The resort is also very large, and the maps could definitely be improved because elevators and floors were confusing at first. The biggest downside was the Wi-Fi. It was unreliable throughout the Palace resort, making remote work nearly impossible and draining phone batteries. As for entertainment, the resort becomes very quiet at night. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, but my girlfriend wished there were more adult-oriented evening activities. Many late-night shows focused on children’s entertainment, while themed parties were geared toward a younger crowd. Overall, I would absolutely return for the amazing food, cleanliness, relaxing atmosphere, and overall value. "

"A friend asked me if I would recommend the hotel and I was torn, Yes or No Pros: Beautiful hotel, food amazing, and good service. Cons: Booked the Jr. King suite for an average night rate of $1,300+ per night, and all we could hear was the highway. The hotel is behind a busy highway, and room 1223 is not worth paying so much for if you want peace and quiet and want to hear the ocean. We asked to be moved to another room a few times and were told that all the junior suites were on the sides of the building and that we would hear the highway, so we were not moved or accommodated. We felt like they basically said, " Deal with it." We were there for 7 days, so that's all we heard, highway noise the whole time. We even asked other people staying on different floors, and they said they could hear the highway. Hydro sessions do not require appointments. That's not a good idea. There are so many people going to the spa for hydro, and the attendants are handling so many people at a time; they do not explain each step, or the reasons why, or each stage of the process. It is easy to get lost in the shuffle of following people around and not knowing why you are in different areas and rooms during the session. I have been at other hotels that offer this experience, and I would rather pay for the Hydro session. Unfortunately, I will never return to the hotel. They need to make it known that they are behind a highway! Maybe their other hotels are not behind highways."

"Pool was big and perfect temp. Buffet was a little limited but perfect for breakfast everyday. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff was amazing in all areas. Good value for what you get."

"Staff is very friendly, resort if very clean, the coffee shop and restaurants are delicious. Loved the views from this resort."

"This property was beautiful, clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the beach was not swimable due to tides. I am uncertain if that was temporary or a constant occurrence. A bottle of water cost 15 dollars at the main restaurant in the hotel. Imagine the price for all other menu items, very overpriced. Overall, it was a decent experience."
