Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas
About this hotel
Golfers who base themselves here trade a short walk to El Medano Beach for an all-inclusive plan that removes the daily question of where the group eats between rounds. The resort's outdoor pool, hot tub and spa give a foursome somewhere to decompress after eighteen holes without leaving the property, while the on-site restaurants and bar keep dinner simple when everyone is too tired to decide together. Rooms lean standard rather than sprawling, so it suits pairs or a tidy group more than a party spilling across suites. The airport run is close to an hour by taxi, worth factoring into the first tee time, but once settled the rhythm here is pool, beach, round, repeat, closing each evening at the swim-up bar with the day's scores compared over a drink.
