One&Only Palmilla
The Cabo resort families name first — a rare swimmable beach, a kids' club that works, and service to match.
About this stay
One&Only Palmilla is a long-standing favorite for Cabo families, chiefly because it has one of the few genuinely swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, paired with a strong kids' club and butler-level service. It holds a 4.0 on TripAdvisor (#8 of 57 in Los Cabos); the praise centers on the beach, the grounds, and the service, while the honest criticism that recurs is about price-to-value, particularly at the spa, and occasional service inconsistency at the very top rates. Children up to 11 stay free in a parent's room, and daily breakfast for two is included.

Where you’ll be
The resort occupies the gated Punta Palmilla point between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, in Baja California Sur (a US Level 2 advisory state), roughly 30-40 minutes from Los Cabos airport by private transfer. San Jose del Cabo's beach-resort corridor and Old Town are widely described by travelers as feeling very safe.
