Spending a weekend in Cabo with friends is always a dream, but staying at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal was truly something special.
The kids had an absolute blast splashing in the pools and exploring every corner of the resort, while us mamas fully embraced vacation mode—tanning in the sun, margaritas in hand, and soaking up every second of bliss.
And let me tell you, this place is next-level. Think world-class dining, epic ocean-view pools, and pure luxury at every turn.
But the real standout? The Waldorf team going above and beyond for the kiddos. I’m talking Paw Patrol balloons, a giant cardboard rocket to color, and surprise treats.
Happy tears were shed, memories were made—it was a trip to remember!
Here’s why a stay at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal deserves a spot at the top of your resort bucket list!

Getting There
It’s about a 45-minute drive from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), and you can either book a private transfer through the resort (hello, stress-free arrival!), take a taxi, or rent a car if you want to explore on your own. Valet parking is free for all guests, so you can roll up, hand over the keys, and dive straight into vacation mode.
And, the best part?
On arrival, security will take your welcome drink order—so I was greeted with a margarita as soon as we pulled up!

The Location
This resort’s location in Los Cabos is next-level! Perched on a dramatic cliffside, it feels like a hidden retreat, totally separate from the buzz of Cabo San Lucas.
To get to the hotel you actually drive through a private tunnel carved into the rock!
The rooms and restaurants are tucked between towering cliffs and the beach, so you can hear the waves crashing from just about anywhere on the property.
And while it feels secluded, it’s actually super convenient!
The marina, along with all the restaurants and bars, is just a short walk away. Or if you want to rest your feet, hop in a golf cart and they’ll zip you to the tunnel entrance, making your trip to town even quicker.
