1186

A Four Seasons property is opening in Cabo San Lucas is taking place in just a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately Four Seasons doesn’t have an official loyalty program, though there are still some ways to maximize value at this property.

Four Seasons Los Cabos Basics

The Four Seasons Los Cabos will have a total of 141 rooms, including 118 guest rooms and about 23 suites.

Four Seasons is calling this their first “marina resort,”  noting that it’s located on two miles of beachfront on the Sea of Cortez. For better or worse, this resort is really secluded. It’s over an hour drive from Cabo San Lucas, which is where most of the restaurants, hotels, and clubs, are otherwise located.

So this is a great property if you’re looking to be secluded and mostly eat at the hotel, while this isn’t where I’d stay if partying is on your agenda.

Four Seasons Los Cabos

The Four Seasons Los Cabos will have all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end resort in the area, including five dining and drink options (including a signature Estiatorio Milos), four swimming pools, a kids club, a spa with 10 treatment rooms, and an 18 hole golf course.

Four Seasons Los Cabos Room Types

The hotel has a variety of room types, as you’d expect.

Here’s a rundown of the room types, starting with the entry level room, all the way to the premium rooms):

  • Ocean-View Room, which is 680 square feet
  • Prime Ocean-View Room, which is 680 square feet and has premium views
  • Ocean-View Room With Plunge Pool, which is 680 square feet and has a plunge pool
  • Oceanfront Room, which is 680 square feet and has premium views of the ocean
  • Sunrise Room, which is 635 square feet and has the best sunrise views over the Sea of Cortez

Four Seasons Los Cabos Rates

As you’d expect, rates at the Four Seasons Los Cabos aren’t cheap, and they’re also highly seasonal.

Base rooms at the Four Seasons Los Cabos seem to go for:

  • $850 per night for most of the year
  • $1,350 per night during their busy season, especially in winter
  • $1,850 per night during festive season

This will be the most expensive hotel in Cabo when it opens, so they’re truly looking for those with very high budgets who don’t want to travel far. If you’re looking to redeem points in Cabo, fortunately there are lots of other great options.

Note that these rates don’t include the outrageously high taxes and service charges in Mexico, which amount to a further 34%. This includes a 16% VAT, 3% state tax, and 15% service charge. This is standard across properties, though, and it sure is frustrating.

In general the Four Seasons Los Cabos seems to have a two week cancelation policy on flexible rates, though that can vary by room type, season, etc., so you’ll want to check the reservation you’re considering for full details.

Four Seasons Los Cabos Promotions

As of now Four Seasons is offering an opening promotion, as is often the case for new properties.

Note that this is subject to blackout dates and availability, so this won’t be available for all nights. When you go through the booking process you have to specifically select this package in order to take advantage of it.
