| Location | Set on the Los Cabos Corridor at Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 17, between the Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo sides of the destination. | Set on Santa Maria Bay, a protected-feeling beach setting known as one of the key draws of the resort experience. |
| Rooms & Suites | All-suite resort where every suite has an ocean view, with 24-hour suite service and a mini-bar restocked daily included. | Elegant rooms, suites, and residences with a more private, residential luxury style—especially appealing for longer stays and high-end beach escapes. |

| Kids & Family | All ages are welcome, with a Kids’ Club for ages 4–12, a kids’ pool/splash area, connecting suites, and babysitting available for an additional charge. | Family-friendly for luxury travelers, but the overall feel is quieter and more understated than a classic all-inclusive family resort. |
| Price & Value | Best value for travelers who will use the all-inclusive dining, drinks, suite service, pools, kids’ amenities, and resort programming. | Best value for travelers who care most about a swimmable bay, serene atmosphere, and a more flexible luxury resort format. |
