I am looking to take my family to Cabo in June. I am trying to find a resort that has two queen (or two King) sized beds. Anyone know a place like this.

I have sent quite a few families to Grand Velas Los Cabos! It's an all suite property (bigger rooms) and they do have double queen rooms.

Other family option would be, Dreams Los Cabos. They have a two double bed room set up but those are a bit smaller.

Happy to answer questions or help put it together (no additional cost to you).

Just know in Cabo you are unable to get into the ocean at most resorts. At some they won't even let you near the water.

Hard Rock has 2 queen beds. It's nice because they have 3 water slides BUT the "chair" game is real there. The workers go down early and reserve all the shaded pool chairs for their time share members. Last time we were there arrival day we never could get out of the sun (which means I can't lay out by the pool). The second day I got the last chairs under an umbrella and it was like pulling teeth to get one of them to open the umbrella (it was having issues).

Food and drinks were good. We had power issues there but usually it was only out for a few minutes at a time.

Dreams is good but older, but like Kyle said, its 2 double beds, not queens.

Grand Fiesta is older and in need of a remodel, but it does have a little snorkel area. But its also 2 double beds.

Grand Velas is a great option but likely to be double or more any of the above.

Grand Velas is my favorite all inclusive.

How old are your kids? My boys get bored with pools pretty quickly and will spend sun up to sun down in the ocean. Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos has two bedroom rooms and you can swim in the ocean. And walk to the Sandbar for massages

Thanks for the information so far. I know the ocean situation is usually not great unless the wind is low. The kids are teenagers. I am looking to get them to see a different side of Mexico and to do some offshore fishing.

I have seen Grand Fiesta pop up a couple of times, Corazon and Hard Rock are frequent suggestions. Its a bummer that Grand Fiesta is a little older, because I really liked the size of the rooms.

The recent reviews are fine just besides being older. It more hacienda style and not new and modern. I would stay there without any issues. And it usually prices pretty good too.

found this on reddit a few months ago. Have no idea how accurate or inclusive the data points are on beds, but it's been a useful tool for me

All Inclusive Resort Ratings (latest update)

That is amazing. I cant believe someone put that much time into this. Thanks for sharing

Not all inclusive, but the Hilton has a very calm and safe portion of beach. They have a large man made jetty that creates a nice big calm area that even toddlers would be safe in.

We went a few years ago and just stopped by walmart on the way so we'd only have to dine out about once a day.

We also only paid about $200 for the full week, so didn't matter that it wasn't all inclusive at that price.

Thank you all so very much for the help! I booked a trip through costco. I booked the Hacienda del Mar, the reviews are mixed as far as food and wait times, but that seemed to be a common theme for the all inclusive resorts. We will see how it goes. If it was just the wife and I, we would not be doing an AI, but I know me and I dont want to have to think about the snack foods, and virgin bar drinks, and my drinks, and settling a tab, etc with the kids.

something to look into, some of these AI resorts are not exclusively AI.
We stayed at villa del palmar, just down the street, and this was the case. What this means is, some people there are paying as they go. So EVERYTHING you get, even as an AI guest, you have to sign the tab and show them your wrist band.

Not a huge deal by itself, but what comes along with this was the other huge negative for us. Because it's not 100% AI, NOTHING is simply out for you to grab and go.

Want a bottle of water? Got to wait in line at the bar and sign the tab. Want to stop by the breakfast buffet and just get a muffin? Nope, have to be seated at a table with a server and then sign a tab. No quick drop in to the dessert place to grab a cookie or brownie. It's all behind glass, and you gotta wait in line to sign the tab.

It totally killed the AI experience for our family, and we will make sure we never end up at a resort like that again. It was so frustrating when I just wanted a bottle of water to have to stand in line watching bartenders endlessly sling bottles of booze and the time it takes to print and sign receipts. Was literally sometimes 5 minutes or more. There was no 'quick' anything.. not water, drink, snack, simply a piece of fruit.. nothing was painless.

To add.. it wasn't clear to us this was the case until a few days in. We were with 3 families and all wondering the same thing.. why are we signing so many dang receipts? Why is nothing out to grab and go?

Eventually we realize there are people without wrist bands and started asking questions to figure out the truth.

let us know what you guys think when you get back.

Hope it's a blast!

For what it is worth, Breathless in the Marina is an incredible AI resort. We have stayed twice, last time over New Years. It is adult only so keep that in mind.

Good to know and right where Picses launches from

What about Cancun area for families?

Do you mean as an alternative or are you looking g for suggestions?

we did royalton splash recently with 3 families. Got a swim out for like $3k for a week.
Huge water park/water slides on property included. Also had a lazy river and massive area for toddlers. We never left once.

Beach was maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10. It was really calm and no seaweed which was nice, but a few days had that red tide with no swimming warnings.

Good shows every night and good restaurants to chose from.

Suggestions. Done Royalton Splash, Hard Rock and Paradisus.

This would piss me off to an unhealthy level. I am pissed off just reading this.

It is an abomination of the All Inclusive concept.
It was villa del palmar for the record. I believe their other 2 hotels (all 3 are side by side) are the same idea.


Stay far away if you're looking for all inclusive.
