Montage Los Cabos

Montage Los Cabos

Two-storey and low to the horizon, Montage Los Cabos sits above Santa Maria Beach and Las Viudas Beach, eleven kilometres out from the Cabo San Lucas centre, which means the view stays open water and rock rather than marina traffic. Rooms run from standard king to the 1,636-square-foot suites with sofas, most facing the sea, and several suite categories come with direct pool access built into the layout rather than a shared deck downstairs. The spread of things to do is unusually wide for a resort this size: a golf course and tennis court sit alongside diving, snorkelling, and windsurfing, plus a fitness centre, gym, and steam room for the days the ocean is skipped entirely. Couples get the spa and the picnic area facing the water; families get a playroom, a common kitchen for cooking their own food, and rooms sized for four to eight. Business travellers can run a seminar in the conference hall and still make the beach by afternoon. What sets it apart from other five-star properties along this stretch of coast is the range of active pursuits on site, from mini golf to volleyball to fishing, so a stay does not depend on booking outside excursions. Pets are allowed for a 250 dollar deposit, and an extra bed runs 100 dollars a night, so families or those travelling with animals should budget accordingly. Wheelchair access extends to the restaurant, and staff speak multiple languages for the international crowd this hotel draws. It suits people who want an active week wrapped around a real ocean view, not those chasing a compact boutique stay near town. Two beaches at the door, a golf course and dive centre on site, and suites large enough to make the marina scene in Cabo feel unnecessary.
