In Los Cabos, these day passes open the doors to a realm of relaxation, offering indulgence in swimming pools, hot tubs, and sun-kissed beaches. Culinary delights and refreshing drinks await, and for those seeking the epitome of rejuvenation, some day passes even include spa services. Essentially, it’s the resort experience without the commitment of overnight stays and exorbitant price tags. Although the landscape of day passes has shifted in the wake of pandemic-induced health guidelines, there remain excellent options for locals and seasonal residents yearning for a daycation.

While the allure of popular settings like Médano Beach in Cabo San Lucas commands attention, the rates reflect the high demand. However, veer away from the well-trodden paths of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, and discover hidden gems that offer picturesque pleasures at surprisingly affordable rates. Embrace the luxury of Los Cabos, not just as a destination but as a daily escape, with Cabo San Lucas day passes unlocking a world of leisure and indulgence for those in the know.

With that in mind, here’s a look at some of our favorite Cabo day pass options in 2024.

Cabo San Lucas – Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa

Corazón Cabo’s grand opening in May came on the heels of a $100 million dollar rebuild and rebrand of the old Cabo Villas. The new property offers plenty of great features, from balcony hot tubs in many rooms to the highest rooftop bar in Cabo San Lucas, the spectacular Rooftop 360. The resort’s best feature, of course, is its central location on the city’s largest and most popular beach, Playa El Médano.

The former Cachet Beach Club is now Corazon branded, with everything from lounges and cabanas to fresh seafood and cocktail service. Corazón actually offers several day pass options through resortpass.com, including a beach pass that includes a reserved lounge chair and umbrella.

VIP packages include the “Heart of Cabo”, which boasts a beachfront cabana and 30-minute massage, plus assorted F&B credits at resort-based restaurants (including the beachfront Aleta) and watering holes.

Pelicanos 225, El Médano Ejidal, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 980-0604, Corazon Cabo. Day pass price: From $100 USD for adults. Purchase here Corazon Day Pass.

Cabo San Lucas – Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos

This property has a long and tangled history in Cabo San Lucas. There are still a few grizzled expats who refer to it as Plaza No Glorias after one of its previous incarnations (and there have been a few, from Costa Real and Plaza Las Glorias to a brief period of Wyndham branding after it became El Tesoro).

That said, the central marina-front location is hard to beat, and the views of the marina and bay beyond from the rooftop Skypool are objectively gorgeous. The swim-up bar and hot tubs here are pretty sweet, too.

Day passes have gone up in price in recent years, but still remain an incredible value. They’re now available in either 4- or 7-hour versions, and include access to the pool and hot tubs, plus cabanas, lounge chairs and towels, as well as free Wi-Fi and basically all the food and drinks you can handle (unlimited national drinks and breakfast buffet for the 4-hour version; all that plus lunch for the 7-hour ticket).

It’s definitely a top Cabo day pass option. Children under 12 aren’t eligible, however, and guests will need to check in at reception and leave an ID card as a guarantee against damages.

Blvd. Paseo de la Marina, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 173-9300, Tesoro Los Cabos. 

San José del Cabo – Barceló Gran Faro Los Cabos

The name doesn’t lie. Gran Faro means great lighthouse, and this all-inclusive San José del Cabo resort certainly has one, along with a sushi bar at its top that offers spectacular wraparound views of the city and Sea of Cortés. The property’s most notable asset, however, is the beach. Barcelo is set along the Zona Hotelera – the city’s prime hotel zone – which is framed by a wide stretch of glorious golden sand.

The day pass offers access to the beach and outdoor swimming pools (there are three), with sun lounges and towels included. Yes, unlimited food and drinks are included as well, but the resort recommends checking in at reception to find out which restaurants or bars are included in the package for that day. The Kids Club is also open to day pass purchasers, and since tickets are half-price for kids, this is a great family-friendly option.

Paseo Malecón San José 9, Zona Hotelera, San José del Cabo, (624) 142-9292, Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos.  

Cerritos – Cerritos Surf Town Beach Hotel & Spa

If you love surfing in Los Cabos, then you know the best wintertime breaks are off Pacific side beaches like Los Cerritos, San Pedrito and La Pastora. The first, commonly known as Cerritos, is a long-time favorite of locals; not just for the surfing, but as a tranquilo weekend getaway from Cabo San Lucas. The surfing is excellent here, however, and it’s the inspiration for Cerritos Surf Town Hotel & Spa – the best day pass destination on the beach.

Like many “Cabo day pass” options, this one comes with a food and drink credit ($20), plus access to the swimming pool and hot tub. Shaded tables overlook the beach, and extras like surf lessons and board rentals are available for those who don’t mind leaving the comfort of the pool for more active pastimes in a far larger pool (AKA, the Pacific Ocean). Bring your dog if you like. This is one of the best dog-friendly beaches in the area, and the resort welcomes four-legged guests.

The sunsets are amazing here, so don’t leave too early.

Hwy. 19 Km. 67, Playa Los Cerritos, El Pescadero, (624) 160-0881, Cerritos Surf Town.

East Cape – Hotel Buena Vista Oceanfront & Hot Springs Resort

Those who’ve spent time on Los Cabos’ East Cape may already be familiar with this benchmark family-owned property, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021. Certainly those who follow the local fishing scene will know the name, since the resort plays host to Bisbee’s annual East Cape Offshore each August.

But if you don’t know it, here’s why you should get acquainted. Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort is built on underground thermal hot springs, which fuels the excellent “must try” onsite hot tub. This beautifully landscaped resort has much more to offer day pass visitors, however, from the secluded beach and large pool area to picturesque seating at El Navegante – the onsite restaurant – where menu items are likely as not made from family recipes handed down for generations.

A $20 credit on food and drink is included with the day pass price, and kids will appreciate the gazebo-set pool (billiards) and ping pong tables. Speaking of kids, everything is half price for those ages 11 and younger ($15 for the day pass/$10 food and drink credit).

105 Hwy. 1, Spa Buenavista, Buenavista, East Cape, (624) 142-0099, Hotel Buena Vista Resort.

The little ones will have so much fun preparing their very own Mexican pizza or delicious cookies.

The Villa Group Beach Resorts & Spas’ all-inclusive vacation packages have never been so packed with opportunities for adventure.

Additional options include learning how to design a Piñata or play Loteria, the most famous Mexican card game.

Of course, the celebration would not be complete without a Night Under the Stars over the Mexican sky. Every night is theme night, with live shows, music, and entertainment for the whole family, from karaoke night to movie night. An authentic Mexican party is a must-see, with live Mariachi and folkloric dances.

A great city guide is like a Swiss Army knife. No matter what the situation, the tool you need is readily at hand. Looking for a great resort to recommend to visiting friends? A restaurant for a celebratory dinner? Need someone reliable to babysit your kids? How about professional dry cleaning services? Want to move furniture and clothing from the U.S.? A great city guide – aka, a directory – can help you find the best of everything, whether you’re a resident, or just visiting. The good news is, we finally have a great one for the Los Cabos area: CaboViVO’s newly created Cabo San Lucas directory.

What makes a great directory? We believe there are three qualities that distinguish the best directories from the rest of the competition.

An Authoritative Identifier of the Best Companies in Every Category

Every community of even moderate size will have hundreds, if not thousands of businesses. You might think, then, that an exhaustive directory of them all is best. It’s not, at least by that measure alone. Why? Because not every business is equal. All people are equally valuable, but all restaurants, for example, are not. Some have dirty kitchens and bad service. Some offer food and service so special it’s almost a life-changing experience. It’s important to be able to distinguish between the good, the bad, the ugly … and the very, very best.

CaboViVO’s new Cabo San Lucas directory is able to make those distinctions, because its staff includes authoritative identifiers of the best companies … which is to say, people that make these distinctions for a living. Our co-founders have written for newspapers, magazines, websites and travel guides that have touted the best of Los Cabos to readers around the globe. Our co-founders have also worked in a marketing and SEO context with many benchmark companies around Los Cabos. We know this region as only long-term, long-time residents can … but also as only paid professional experts do. Which is to say we have the bona fides and experience necessary to evaluate between the best restaurants, the best hotels, the best supermarkets, etc.

But don’t misunderstand us. Our Cabo San Lucas directory is also the most extensive and exhaustive director offered anywhere in the region. No other website has put in the work that we have to offer a rich variety of options in seemingly every category, from activities, drinking and dining, hotels and resorts, to myriad goods and services. We’ve covered everything we could think of to give local residents and visitors alike access to the information they need, when they need it, to make their lives easier and better.

Like Los Cabos legend Sammy Hagar, who as frontman of Van Halen once sang that he wanted the “Best of Both Worlds,” we at CaboViVO want to offer the most exhaustive directory, but also the most discerning. It has always been our goal to showcase the best of Los Cabos, and so our directory will include a long list of companies offering everything you might need or desire, along with the information needed to contact them. A kind of Cabo Yellow Pages, if you will. But we’ll also offer some featured listings, spotlighting companies we’ve identified as the best, the cream of the crop, in each individual category.

A Multi-Purpose Tool for Making Your Life at Land’s End Easier and Better

We mentioned the Swiss Army knife-like utility offered by a great directory, and we certainly built our directory of Cabo San Lucas with this idea in mind: that no matter what the issue … no matter what you’re looking for … we have a recommended business to fill that need.

Los Cabos is growing very rapidly. One need only take a drive through the Tourist Corridor to witness this growth. Or visit the East Cape. Or cruise along the Pacific Coast north of Cabo San Lucas. Or navigate the farm-to-table outskirts of San José del Cabo.

You get the point. The region is growing at an unprecedented rate. There are downfalls to this, obviously, in terms of increased traffic. But there are also wonderful new restaurants, resorts, goods and services, brands, chains, that have never been available in this region before. We want to bring them to your attention, and then help you experience what they have to offer.

As much as possible, we’ve attempted to design a tool that will put the best of Los Cabos at your fingertips. Our new Los Cabos directory will connect you to hundreds of businesses, with updated phone numbers and website and email info so you can contact the ones you want quickly and easily … heck, we’ve even added a cool new map feature to help you get directions.

Maximum Value and the Latest Deals and Discounts

Because of our relationships with businesses in every category of the “Cabo San Lucas directory”, we’re able to get the best prices for our users, including deals and discounts that may not be offered to the general public. This is an important feature, and an exclusive one as well.

So yes, you can simply scroll through our directory, and use the exhaustively curated information we’ve provided to contact businesses in whatever category you wish. But you can also ask us to do it for you. Contact us directly and let us see if we can find you a better price. Just as we have featured businesses in each category, we also have featured services for our users, and this is one of them.

Welcome to the New Cabo San Lucas Directory! Let Us Know What You Think.

In the preceding paragraphs we’ve introduced the Cabo San Lucas directory, and given you the skinny on how it works, and what some of its best features are. But please feel free to contact us. The whole point of this exercise in the first place was to help to bring our community together, and to connect us to our neighbors in new ways. If you have suggestions for new businesses, new features, or feedback on anything else you’d like to see included or improved, please tell us about it. You can drop us a line at info@cabovivo.com. Otherwise, welcome to the directory!
