Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa

Traditional Mexican plantation-style architecture in a vibrant earth tone palette welcomes you to eight acres of beachfront bliss at Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa. The resort goes all out in the underwater department, with four infinity pools and four hot tubs. Go for a swim or enjoy a delicious beverage at the swim-up bar (you won’t even have to leave the pool). Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa is an all-suite escape, just a short walk from the Marina and lively downtown shops and restaurants. The opulent Grand Spa is (secretly) the whole reason you chose this resort, so be sure to book up a day (or three). Even spa days can be semi-exhausting, so if you’re not up for cooking, the resort has four on-site restaurants and a sports bar. Let the kids hang out in the on-site children’s club while you hit the well-equipped fitness center for a workout. Meet up for a game of mini golf or tennis before checking out the latest themed fiesta night, featuring live music and audience participation, including the Cabaret Comedy Show, Beach Party and Fiesta Mexicana.

Studio condos sleep four guests and have kitchenettes which let you prepare the basics or heat up leftovers. One- to two-bedroom condos sleep five to eight guests and have full kitchens making breakfast a leisurely affair, so the sleepyheads in your group can take their sweet time getting up. Catch a sitcom rerun while you wait thanks to the TV with premium channels. At the end of a busy day, feel free to return to your condo for a low-key family movie night, the TVs have pay movies.

Hail a boat taxi at the Marina and head to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. This Limestone arch was formed by time, wind and tide. Known by locals as “El Arco” with Playa del Armor on the gulf side and Playa del Divorcio on the oceanside, it’s a popular photo destination for tourists. Tours and activities available for the arch include dinner cruises, sailing, snorkeling and parasailing. Surprise the kids with a visit to Cabo Dolphin Tours where they can get up, close and personal with a dolphin. Children aged four through nine will get to pet and hug a dolphin at the Cabo Dolphin Kids encounter. Kids aged four and up will enjoy the Cabo Dolphin Encounter where they can touch, kiss and play with bottlenose dolphins from a shallow water platform. Kids and adults over the age of twelve will love Cabo Dolphin Trainer for a Day where they can work alongside the trainers to help train the dolphins and even go for a swim with a dolphin.
