4-star hotels in San Jose Del Cabo
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in San José del Cabo, from beachfront resorts along the Corridor to a small house in the historic centre. It is for travellers deciding between a pool-and-beach stay and a walkable base near the plaza.
Staying in San Jose Del Cabo
The historic centre is a place of galleries, restaurants and a plaza you can walk between, with boutiques that carry more character than the resorts. Out along the coast, the hotel zone and the Corridor hold larger properties with pools and the sea in front of them; the main beach is long and beautiful but has strong currents and almost never flies a green flag, so it is for walking rather than swimming. Swimmable coves such as Palmilla, Chileno and Santa María lie 10-25 minutes away by car, and the estuary offers birds and gentle dawn walks. The hotels on this list sit in both worlds. Laiva Hotel San Jose By Tasman is the one address in the centre itself, on Manuel Doblado. Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos All Inclusive and Hilton Vacation Club Cabo Azul Los Cabos sit by the beach on Paseo Del Malecón, and Hotel El Ganzo Adults Only is on Boulevard Tiburón. Several more line the Carretera Transpeninsular and Mexico 1 along the Corridor. It suits couples, families and anyone weighing a short break on foot in town against a resort stay with a car for the coves.

Walkable to the centre

With a car along the Corridor
These addresses lie on the Carretera Transpeninsular or Mexico 1, the coast road, so a car is the practical way to reach the swimmable coves 10-25 minutes away. Club Regina Los Cabos and The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas Baja Point share Km 22.5, Villa La Valencia and Zoetry sit further in, and Hilton Grand Vacations Club La Pacifica Los Cabos has a business centre and express check in.
