Pros and Cons of Secrets Puerto Los Cabos

To help you quickly determine if this resort matches your vacation style, here is a balanced breakdown of its key strengths and limitations:

The Pros:

  • Tranquil, Romantic Atmosphere: Unlike high-energy party resorts in Cabo San Lucas, this property emphasizes quiet relaxation, scenic infinity pools, and unhurried oceanfront strolling.
  • Championship Golf Access: Situated right next to the 18-hole Puerto Los Cabos Golf Course—a unique, composite course featuring design work by both Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.
  • Spacious All-Suite Accommodations: All 500 suites start at a generous 560+ sq. ft. and include private balconies or terraces with two-person jetted whirlpool tubs and 24-hour room service.
  • No Reservations for Dining: Enjoy 8 dining venues, including 5 gourmet à la carte options, without the stress of booking dining times in advance.
  • Convenient Location: Minutes away from the Puerto Los Cabos Marina and the vibrant Thursday Night Art Walk in historic San José del Cabo.

The Cons:

  • Non-Swimmable Beach: Like most resorts along the Los Cabos coastline, strong shore breaks and undertows make the ocean directly in front of the resort unsafe for swimming (all swimming is pool-based).
  • Distance from Cabo San Lucas Nightlife: It is roughly a 35- to 40-minute drive to the energetic bar scene and nightlife of downtown Cabo San Lucas.
  • Vacation Club Presentations: Guests are frequently greeted upon check-in with invitations to attend promotional membership presentations. A polite “no thank you” is sufficient to pass.

Is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Right for You?

Consider elsewhere if: You want a swimmable ocean beach right outside your room, a high-octane pool party scene, or immediate walking access to Cabo San Lucas nightclubs.

Book this resort if: You want a peaceful, adults-only sanctuary with upscale dining, stunning desert-meets-ocean landscapes, top-tier spa facilities, and easy access to golf and local culture.
