  • Insulated water bottle (staying hydrated is critical in dry heat)
  • Phone charger + portable power bank
  • Basic medications (pain relief, allergy meds, stomach relief, prescriptions)

Seasonal Packing Tips for Los Cabos

Los Cabos has year-round sunshine with minimal rainfall, but temperatures and activities vary by season. Use this guide to fine-tune your Secrets Puerto Los Cabos packing list.

Peak season (November–May)

Comfortable daytime temperatures (70s–80s°F), cooler evenings, and prime conditions for golf and water activities. This is also whale watching season (December–April).

  • Bring light layers for evenings (temperatures can drop to low 60s°F)
  • Pack a light jacket or cardigan for sunset dining
  • Sun protection remains critical despite cooler temps
  • Ideal time for golf—bring your full golf wardrobe
  • Book whale watching excursions in advance

Summer season (June–October)

Hotter temperatures (80s–90s°F), higher humidity, and occasional tropical storms—but also fewer crowds and excellent off-season rates.

  • Pack ultra-breathable fabrics (moisture-wicking, linen, light cotton)
  • Bring extra sunscreen—you'll reapply frequently
  • Add a compact rain jacket for brief afternoon showers
  • Hydration becomes even more critical in summer heat
  • Evening temperatures stay warm—fewer layers needed
  • Sea of Cortez water is warmest and most swimmable

What Not to Pack (Save Space)

  • Too many shoes — 3 pairs max (beach sandals, walking/golf shoes, dinner shoes)
  • Heavy jackets or sweaters — even winter evenings only need a light layer
  • Full-size toiletries — the resort provides luxury amenities; bring travel-size favorites
  • Beach towels — Secrets Puerto Los Cabos provides premium towel service
  • Hair dryers and irons — already provided in all suites
  • Excessive casual clothing — you'll dress up more than at casual resorts
  • Bulky golf equipment — the resort has high-quality rental clubs if needed
Space saver: Build your wardrobe around 3–4 daytime looks that mix and match, plus 3–4 upscale dinner outfits. This covers most stays at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos without overpacking, leaving room for golf gear or excursion equipment.

FAQ: What to Pack for Secrets Puerto Los Cabos

What's the dress code for restaurants at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos?

The dress code is resort elegant for dinner. Men should wear long pants and collared shirts (no shorts, tank tops, or flip-flops). Women typically wear sundresses, skirts, elegant pants, or dressy separates. Some specialty restaurants may request closed-toe shoes. The atmosphere is sophisticated but not overly formal.

Is the water safe to swim in at Puerto Los Cabos?

Yes—the resort is located on the Sea of Cortez side (not the rougher Pacific side), which offers calmer, swimmable waters perfect for snorkeling and water activities. However, always check daily flag conditions and follow resort guidance about currents.

What's the #1 item people forget?

High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm with SPF. The Baja desert sun is incredibly intense, and the dry climate causes faster dehydration. Many guests also forget after-sun care, which is essential for daily skin recovery.

Should I bring my own golf clubs?

It depends on your preference. The resort's championship Greg Norman-designed course offers high-quality rental clubs if you want to save luggage space. Serious golfers often bring their own clubs and gloves for the best experience. Check airline baggage fees before deciding.

Do I need water shoes?

Recommended for snorkeling excursions and rocky beach areas, but not essential for the resort's main pool and beach areas. If you plan boat trips to Lover's Beach or Chileno Bay, water shoes make entry and exit much easier.

How much cash should I bring?

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos is all-inclusive, but bring $150–250 USD in small bills for tipping housekeeping, spa staff, golf caddies, and excursion guides. While USD is widely accepted, having some Mexican pesos is helpful for off-resort purchases and local vendors in San José del Cabo.

Is bug spray necessary?

Less critical than in tropical destinations, but still recommended for evening beach walks and if you're particularly sensitive to insects. The desert climate means fewer mosquitoes than Caribbean destinations, but they're more active during summer months (June–October).

What should I pack for spa days?

The Secrets Spa by Pevonia provides robes, slippers, and locker facilities. Just bring: swimwear (for hydrotherapy circuit), comfortable slip-on sandals, hair tie if you have long hair, and any personal care items you prefer. Arrive early to enjoy the spa's relaxation areas.
