One of the resort's biggest advantages is on-site access to Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club, a Greg Norman-designed championship course. Guests receive preferred tee times and discounted rates, making this resort ideal for golf-focused vacations.

  • Spa highlights: hydrotherapy circuit, couples' treatment suites, extensive menu

  • Beach quality: wide, sandy, well-maintained with stunning views
  • Swimming: conditions vary—calmer in summer, choppier in winter

  • Tip: dress code is resort elegant for specialty restaurants (no swimwear)

How to Decide If It's Worth It (Fast Value Checklist)

Question If "yes"… If "no"…
Do you want to golf during your vacation? This resort offers exceptional golf access and value. Consider resorts with other signature amenities if golf isn't a priority.
Is spa experience important to you? The Secrets Spa is a major highlight worth the stay. Basic spa needs might not justify the luxury pricing tier.
Can you prioritize pools over guaranteed swim beach? Multiple infinity pools provide excellent swimming alternatives. Beach swim priority should consider Cabo resorts with better swim conditions.
Do you prefer tranquil atmosphere over nightlife? The Corridor location delivers peaceful, romantic ambiance. Downtown Cabo proximity is better for nightlife-focused stays.
Is adults-only exclusivity worth premium pricing? The romantic, child-free atmosphere is highly valued. Family-friendly resorts may offer better value for non-adults-only needs.

Tips to Make Your Stay Feel More "Worth It"

Book swim-out or ocean-view upgrades

Most guests agree the swim-out suites are worth the upgrade cost. Direct pool access from your patio transforms the experience—adding convenience, privacy, and a unique luxury element that maximizes the adults-only resort value.

  • Swim-out suites: direct pool access, romantic setting, high convenience
  • Ocean-view rooms: stunning Sea of Cortez sunrises worth the premium
  • Golf course view: acceptable alternative if budget-conscious
  • Best value: book ocean-view swim-out if budget allows

Plan the optimal length of stay

Most travelers maximize value at 4–7 nights. This gives you time to play multiple golf rounds, schedule spa treatments, experience all restaurants, enjoy pool and beach days, and potentially take one day trip to explore Los Cabos highlights.

  • 4 nights = quick couples' escape with 2-3 golf rounds
  • 5-7 nights = ideal for full resort experience + excursions
  • 7+ nights = maximum relaxation for extended honeymoons or retreats

Balance resort time with Cabo exploration

Don't stay only on property—use the Corridor location strategically. Plan one downtown Cabo excursion for marina dining and nightlife, visit San José del Cabo's art walk (Thursday evenings), or book a Cabo Arch boat tour. The location provides both tranquility and access to Los Cabos experiences.

  • Downtown Cabo San Lucas: 15-20 minutes by taxi for marina, restaurants, nightlife
  • San José del Cabo: 10-15 minutes for art district, Thursday art walk, dining
  • Day trips: Cabo Arch tours, snorkeling, ATV desert tours, sunset cruises
  • Best balance: 70% resort time, 30% exploring Los Cabos highlights

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos vs. Downtown Cabo Resorts: Location Comparison

One of the most common questions: "Should I stay in the Corridor or downtown Cabo San Lucas?" Here's how Secrets Puerto Los Cabos' Corridor location compares to downtown Cabo resort options.

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos (Corridor)

  • Tranquil setting between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo
  • Sea of Cortez beachfront with mountain backdrop views
  • On-site championship golf with preferred access
  • 15-20 min taxi to downtown Cabo nightlife and marina
  • Best for: travelers prioritizing golf, spa, and peaceful romance
  • Trade-off: requires transportation for off-property dining and nightlife

Downtown Cabo San Lucas Resorts

  • Walking distance to marina, restaurants, bars, nightlife
  • Medano Beach location with beach club atmosphere
  • Easy access to water sports, boat tours, and activities

FAQ: Is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Worth It?

Is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos worth it for golfers?

Absolutely yes. The on-site access to Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club with preferred tee times and guest rates makes this one of the best golf resort values in Los Cabos. You can play daily without resort transfers, and the Greg Norman-designed course consistently ranks among Mexico's top golf experiences.

Is the beach swimmable at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos?

Swimming conditions vary seasonally at this Sea of Cortez location. The beach is beautiful for walks and lounging, but waves and currents can make ocean swimming challenging, especially during winter months. Most guests rely on the resort's multiple infinity pools for swimming, which provide guaranteed year-round water enjoyment with swim-up bars.

What's the best length of stay at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos?

4–7 nights is optimal for most travelers. This allows time to play 2-3 golf rounds (if golfing), schedule spa treatments, rotate through multiple restaurants, enjoy pool and beach relaxation, and potentially take one day trip to explore Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo without feeling rushed.

Are swim-out suites worth the upgrade cost?

For most couples, yes—absolutely. Swim-out suites with direct pool access consistently receive top reviews for adding significant value to the adults-only experience. The convenience, privacy, and romantic ambiance make them worth the premium, especially for honeymoons and special occasions.

How does Secrets Puerto Los Cabos compare to other Los Cabos all-inclusives?

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos stands out for its championship golf access, world-class spa, swim-out suites, and tranquil Corridor location. It's more golf-focused than beach-focused (due to variable swim conditions), targets adults-only couples rather than families, and sits in the luxury pricing tier. Best choice for golf enthusiasts and spa-focused romantic getaways.

When is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos NOT worth it?

It may not be worth it if you prioritize guaranteed swimmable beach access year-round, need walking distance to downtown Cabo nightlife, prefer family-friendly resorts (this is adults-only 18+), want high-energy party atmosphere, or don't value golf access as a primary amenity. Medano Beach resorts may better suit beach swim and nightlife priorities.

Is golf included in the all-inclusive package?

No, golf is not included in the Unlimited-Luxury® all-inclusive package. However, resort guests receive preferred tee times and significantly discounted rates compared to public pricing at Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club. Many guests find the preferred access and reduced rates deliver excellent golf value, especially when playing multiple rounds during their stay.

How far is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos from downtown Cabo San Lucas?

Approximately 15-20 minutes by taxi or shuttle to downtown Cabo San Lucas marina, nightlife, and restaurants. San José del Cabo is about 10-15 minutes in the opposite direction. The Corridor location provides peaceful resort ambiance while keeping both Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo accessible for dining and excursion exploration.
