Are there All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cabo San Lucas?
 |
Cabo San Lucas has many all inclusive hotel options |
It’s been a constant trend to offer all the services a visitor may need within the hotel or resort premises, when you think about it, from the hotel manager perspective it is common business sense to increase the earnings you obtain from each visitor, add to this another factor with new tourists, you can take advantage of their lack of confidence when arriving to a new country, specially one like Mexico, where they don’t know the language or the customs, they will feel less threatened to do it all at the same place. This is when All Inclusives jump into the equation, give the client all they need in one place and at one price.
Hotels and resorts in Los Cabos, and Cabo San Lucas specifically, have embraced this tendency too, make more money from the same client, a type of upsale. Want to sleep, here’s the all inclusive hotel, want to eat, we have various restaurants here in the all inclusive hotel, want fun, tours and activities, the Cabo San Lucas all inclusive hotel (or any other place for that matter, it’s not exclusive of Mexico or Los Cabos) will take care of it, and all for one price.

The typical Cabo All Inclusive will offer food, drinks, snacks, watersports, kids’ programs, night-time entertainment and more all for a specified price, sometimes under $100 dollars a night or maybe even less during low season.
Of course there are pros and cons to this offer from the Cabo San Lucas all inclusive resorts.
All Inclusive, the negatives:
- First and foremost, an all inclusive limits the mobility and adventurousness of the visitor, they feel they need to return to the resort or hotel for each and every meal or drink, or maybe, in extreme cases, the visitor doesn’t even feel the wish to step out of the all-inclusive and get to know Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos. In some resorts of the Caribbean, this was the precise concept, don’t leave the fenced area, mostly because the surroundings aren’t nice at all or crime and insecurity are too high. That of course is not the case if you come and stay in an all-inclusive in Cabo San Lucas, but people may anyway decide not to move and they’ll miss out on a great opportunity to expand their view of the world, their knowledge of Mexico and their memories of what Cabo San Lucas actually is.
- Second, hotels aren’t known for having the best food or activities, no matter how much effort they invest in it, gourmet food and top-notch tours and activities are something you specialize in, you add experience, you optimize and you constantly improve your offer. The best restaurants in any tourist destination and even any regular city, are not normally found at hotels. Same goes for tour operators, the best are always specialized companies that have decades of experience and know-how they use to offer the best to the visitor.

All Inclusives, the positive:
- If you are on a strict or limited budget a Cabo San Lucas all inclusive helps you insure you won’t run out of money or have to limit your activities and expenses if you spend a bit too much. You feel much more relaxed knowing you have it all covered and that the all inclusive will feed and pamper you till the end of your vacation.
- An all inclusive package in Cabo San Lucas can help you save money, you may end up paying less for food if you stay in the hotel, than if you daily go out and eat in the restaurants you find on the street.
- Specially for families, an all inclusive resort or hotel is very practical and comfortable, kids normally aren’t very adventurous when it comes to food, so taking them out to eat at the gourmet restaurants is not an option. The ease of just having easy access to food and drinks for the kids, makes a vacation by the beach in Cabo, all the more relaxed.

Cabo San Lucas night-life |
I personally believe that the best way, if you really are on a tight budget, is to take the middle road, “not so bald and not with two wigs” as my grandmother used to say, you buy a Cabo San Lucas all inclusive hotel package, but you still go out to town and eat a few dinners and a few lunches in the restaurants or cafés you find are the best offers in terms of quality and price (this you can do beforehand with a small research online). You enjoy the activities at the hotel or resort, but you take a tour with the best tours and activities provider in town, and you also take the time to wander around and explore Cabo San Lucas, the Tourist Corridor and San José del Cabo, at the very least.
If you plan on taking the middle road, you should also choose a Los Cabos all inclusive hotel /resort that’s close to town, restaurants and night-time activities, not some fenced resort far from it all and with few transport options.
