Official Description (provided by the hotel):: A verdant oasis on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Where azure waters greet the mountainous desert and the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Where warm waves break onto a dramatic shoreline… and gray whales can be seen rising majestically in the distance. Here, the gracious style of Old Mexico - with its red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and idyllic setting of exquisite fountains - is quietly nestled amidst swaying palms, bird of paradise and other tropical bloom. ... more less

“Lovely stay”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

The One and Only is a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained and the service is very good. We stayed in a lovely one bedroom suite overlooking the ocean. I enjoyed late afternoon siestas on the veranda falling asleep to the waves crashing against the shore. They serviced our room twice a day and... More

“The paradise does exist. But has it's price...”

We have combined our trip to southern Califa with Baja California in Mexico. Our first intention was Las Ventanas but traveling with a 3 years boy we decided to look after a hotel with a better infra for kids. Hotel is simple fantastic: - room mexican style with 180 degrees sea view, balcony, fantastic bathroom. - common areas... You walk... More

“One & Only Overrated, but nice”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

Ask about Cabo hotels and One and Only Palmilla always comes up as a must stay 5-Star experience. Some claim its Oprah’s favorite hotel and “the” getaway for the Hollywood elite. It always ranks high as one of world’s best hotels and comes up in search engines as best hotel in Cabo. Unfortunately our experience didn’t quite measure up to... More

“Amazing Resort”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

The Only and Only Palmilla is an amazing resort and probably the most luxurious place I've ever stayed. The highlight was the amazing service at the adults only pool where we spent most of our time (complimentary foot massages, constantly exchanging our ice buckets for fresh ones, free snacks, oxygen mists, attentive drink service, etc.). The food at the resort... More

“An Amazing Stay”

This is a beautiful property. It is not central to the nightlife of Cabo; however, if you are looking for a beautiful place to stay with amazing service, you will not be disappointed. We had a dinner at the Agua restaurant with the chef's selection and wine pairing. It was the best dinner of my life.

Dear Valued Guest, That’s what we like to hear! Our world-class chefs work hard to create memorable meals right here on property, and reviews like yours make it all worth it. Someday soon, when you’re daydreaming about that dinner at Agua and ready for another visit, give us a call. We’ll put together a wonderful itinerary that’s sure to top... More

Clearly one of the best resorts in Mexico and North America. The grounds are well designed with each room guaranteed to have an awesome view of the Sea of Cortez. The rooms are large, service excellent and grounds beautifully landscaped. They anticipate your needs even before you imagine it. Dining is however limited. For a mexican resort, the restaurants have... More
