Designed by an award-winning architect, The Ridge at Playa Grande is an easy seven-minute walk to the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas. Sip your welcome cocktail and admire the views from your elevated perch just above the shoreline. Get your day off to the right start with the resort’s free continental breakfast before getting changed into swimsuits and applying sunblock. Head for the heart of the resort, with three outdoor pools and a hot tub. Two adult infinity pools let you enjoy a relaxing swim while the kids take the waterslide route, landing with a splash into the children’s pool. Need something? Just ask your personal pool concierge. Enjoy a cocktail at the poolside tiki bar while the kids splash around. After the pool, challenge the kids to a family game of mini golf. Drop the kids off at the on-site children’s club while you hit the well-equipped fitness center for a workout or the tennis court for a game of doubles. Spa fan? Book early and often for signature treatments from the full-service spa’s rejuvenating menu.

Your spacious, air-conditioned, upscale one- or two-bedroom condo sleeps four to six guests and gives you plenty of room to stash pool inflatables and shell collections, with separate bedrooms and living and dining areas. One-bedroom condos have kitchenettes, and two-bedroom condos have full kitchens. Whip up a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies and let the kids assist with chocolate chip distribution.
