Four Seasons Cabo del Sol Review (2026): Is It Worth It for Families?
Four Seasons Cabo del Sol opened in 2024 and it has already quietly become the most compelling luxury resort in Cabo. The design is fresh, the restaurants are ambitious, the service is firing on all cylinders, and the rooms are the best hard product on the corridor — by a meaningful margin.
For families especially, this property solves problems that Cabo has never solved well. Real room sizes. Configurations that work for five people without defaulting to a villa. A complimentary, programmed kids club. Eight dining venues. It is the rare resort where the logistics of traveling with children actually feel easy.
One thing to know before you book: the beach is not reliably swimmable. This is a Pacific-facing coastline and the current is strong. Your days will center on the pools, which are excellent — but if a swimming beach is non-negotiable, we should talk through your options before committing.
Come in with accurate expectations and this property is very hard to fault.
Here is what you need to know before booking.
Who This Hotel Is Best For
Families with kids who want a polished, modern property
Parents who prioritize room size and layout above everything else
Travelers who value Four Seasons service consistency
Golf-focused trips or couples who want a refined Cabo experience without the party-resort energy
Who Should Skip It
Families with toddlers who need an easy, swimmable beach
Travelers who care deeply about lush, mature landscaping — some of it still needs time to grow in
Anyone who wants walkability or off-property energy built into the trip
The Rooms: Where It Wins
This is the property's biggest competitive advantage over most Cabo resorts.
Entry-level rooms are genuinely spacious and well-designed — not just large by square footage, but laid out in a way that makes the space livable. Most have outdoor space that actually gets used. Suites and connecting configurations work well for families, and every room has an ocean view.
Entry-level rooms at Four Seasons Cabo del Sol are among the most spacious in Cabo. Most include a private outdoor terrace — the kind you actually use.
The Beach: What You Need to Know
The beach at Cabo del Sol is not reliably swimmable. This is not a knock specific to Four Seasons — it is a function of the Pacific-facing coastline, which produces strong waves and current. Your time at the water will be spent watching it, not in it.
If your expectation is a calm, Caribbean-style swimming beach, this property will disappoint. Plan your days around the pools.
Pools and Family Experience
Multiple pools, well-distributed across the property, with strong and consistent service. The kids club is well run and my kids absolutely loved it. . That distinction matters for how you frame it to clients or how you set expectations for your own trip.
Four Seasons Cabo del Sol participates in Kids for All Seasons, the brand's complimentary kids club program available at most Four Seasons properties worldwide.
It is free, staffed, and programmed — not a drop-off babysitting situation. Activities are age-appropriate and change throughout the day. For families who want structure for their kids without paying extra for it, this is a meaningful differentiator from other Cabo luxury properties.
The pools are the centerpiece of the daily experience here. The beach at Cabo del Sol is not reliably swimmable, so the pool design and service matter more than at most Cabo properties. Both deliver.
La Plaza Mágica: The Social Heart of the Property
One underrated aspect of the resort: the plaza. The property can feel quiet on weekdays, but weekends come alive at La Plaza Mágica.
Every Friday evening, the plaza becomes a cultural gathering open to hotel guests and Cabo del Sol residents alike. Mariachi, local art, handmade food, Mexican wines and spirits at El Mercado, and works by local artists at El Taller Art Studio. It reads like a curated pueblo mágico night market — specific enough to feel intentional, not like a hotel "culture night." The bar continues the evening with handcrafted cocktails, and the surrounding restaurants fill up from the energy.
It is a genuinely good evening, and one of the more authentic-feeling property experiences in Cabo right now.
La Plaza Mágica runs every Friday evening at the heart of the resort. Local food, Mexican wines, artisan vendors, and mariachi. One of the more authentic-feeling evenings you will find at a Cabo luxury property.
Dining
Four Seasons Cabo del Sol has eight dining and drinking venues, which is a lot for a property of this size. The range is genuinely impressive — and it means families eating most meals on-property never feel like they are running out of options.
Palmerio is the resort's Mediterranean restaurant, focused on locally sourced Baja seafood and regionally grown produce. Four Seasons It sits on the ocean's edge and gets strong repeat reviews for both food and service. Scallop risotto and fresh sea bass are standout orders. Breakfast here is excellent — and if you book through me, your FSPP amenity covers daily breakfast for two, which can be taken at Palmerio or via in-room dining.
Cayao brings Nikkei cuisine to the property — a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors — led by Chef de Cuisine Nazaev Zaragoza, formerly of Mayta, which has ranked among Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants. Four Seasons It is the most ambitious concept on property and open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday. Worth booking in advance.
Coraluz handles casual Baja Mexican, curated by chef Richard Sandoval, in an oceanfront lounge setting. Four Seasons The menu is approachable enough for kids, well-executed for adults, and gets consistently high marks. Good for a relaxed dinner when nobody wants to make decisions.
Sora is the first and only luxury rooftop bar in Los Cabos, with panoramic Sea of Cortez views. Four Seasons The cocktail program is theatrically presented and genuinely well-crafted — the Spicy Paloma is the obvious order. Go for sunset. It gets busy on weekends, which is the kind of energy that makes the property feel alive.
La Casona Bar is where you check in. Rather than a traditional lobby experience, arrivals are welcomed with a drink in hand at the bar, which sets the tone for the whole stay. Four Seasons It is a small detail that lands well.
For families: between Coraluz for casual dinners, Palmerio for a nicer evening, and Sora for cocktails after kids are down, you have a full rotation without ever leaving the property.
The bar anchors the plaza on weekend evenings. Strong cocktail program, good energy and of course, stunning views.
Service
Four Seasons Cabo del Sol staffs like a property that knows it is being watched. This is a new resort building its reputation, and it shows in the best possible way — the team is attentive, warm, and genuinely motivated in a way that more established properties sometimes lose over time.
Guests consistently single out individual staff members by name in reviews, which is the clearest sign that service is landing at a personal level rather than just a procedural one. Villa Hosts for suite and villa categories go further — proactively reaching out throughout the stay to make sure guests are not missing anything, from the Friday plaza evening to complimentary wine and tequila tastings.
If you have stayed at other Four Seasons properties and know what the brand delivers, this one meets that bar. In some ways it exceeds it.
What To Know
No swimmable beach, but beautiful to walk along
Minimal walkability - this is a destination resort, and if you want to get off property you will need to use a taxi/uber
Occupancy-dependent atmosphere, particularly mid-week; the property can feel quiet if it is not full
How to Book It (And Why It Matters)
The property has 96 guest rooms, casitas, suites, and villas, ranging from 847 to over 6,000 square feet Four Seasons— all with ocean views. Here is how the categories break down and who each one works for.
La Casona Rooms sit on the upper levels of the main hacienda building. They have sweeping ocean views from a spacious balcony and can be configured with one king or two queens, with a sofabed available. Fourseasons These are the entry point and the right call for couples or families of three who do not need a lot of spread.
Casita Rooms are where the property earns its reputation for space. The Ocean View Casita Room comes in at 1,173 square feet with a king bed and sofabed TravelSort — that is a large footprint for a standard room category. Casitas feature both indoor and outdoor showers and a large furnished balcony or terrace. Fourseasons Many include a private plunge pool, which is worth the upgrade if you have young kids or plan to spend time outside your room.
Casita Suites add a separate living and dining area to the casita layout. The Ocean View Casita Suite with Plunge Pool runs approximately 2,001 square feet, with a spacious ground-floor terrace and private pool. TravelSort For families of four or five who want to be in one room rather than two, this is the configuration to look at seriously.
Villas and Residences are the top of the category. One- and three-bedroom oceanfront villas include lavish indoor-outdoor living areas, outdoor showers, a private pool, and dedicated Villa Host service. Fourseasons The Private Retreats collection offers multi-bedroom homes with fully equipped kitchens, private pools, and a Villa Host who can arrange in-villa spa treatments, private dinners with wine pairings, and customized experiences. Four Seasons These also qualify for Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits when booked through me.
When you book through me using myFour Seasons Preferred Partner status, your reservation is VIP from the start — typically daily breakfast for two, a hotel credit, a welcome amenity, and early check-in/late check-out based on availability. My group is among the top-producing Four Seasons Preferred Partners in the country.

Bottom Line
Four Seasons Cabo del Sol is the most exciting new luxury resort in Mexico right now. It is brand new, designed with intention, and operating with the kind of energy that only exists when a property is still proving itself. The staff want you to have a great stay. The restaurants are ambitious. The rooms are the best hard product in Cabo.
For families, it solves problems that most Cabo properties cannot. The room sizes work for real family configurations. The kids club is complimentary and programmed. You have eight dining venues so nobody is negotiating where to eat on night four. And Friday evenings at La Plaza Mágica give you a reason to linger that has nothing to do with sitting by a pool.
The beach caveat is real and worth knowing in advance. But guests who come in with accurate expectations consistently leave wanting to return. That is the clearest signal I can give you.
If you are looking for a Cabo property that feels current, runs well, and has the room product to actually accommodate your family — this is it.
