Marquis Los Cabos ended up being exactly what we wanted for a relaxing Cabo getaway: adults-only, all-inclusive, beautiful ocean views and a pool we could happily sit beside all day with a margarita in hand.
We stayed here for my birthday after looking through what felt like every all-inclusive resort in Cabo. I don’t typically gravitate toward all-inclusives, but for this trip, I wanted somewhere we could completely relax without having to plan much of anything — and Marquis Los Cabos checked pretty much every box.
The resort is absolutely beautiful. Every room faces the ocean, there are multiple pools and restaurants, and the service was one of the biggest standouts of our stay. There are a few things I would want to know before booking — especially the fact that the beach directly in front of the resort is not swimmable — but overall, we loved our time here.
In this Marquis Los Cabos review, I’m breaking down everything from the rooms and pools to the food, location and what is actually included, plus whether I think it’s worth the price.

Marquis Los Cabos Location
Marquis Los Cabos is located on the Northeast side of Cabo, about 30-minutes from the Downtown Cabo San Lucas area. Staying a bit away from Downtown, with the crazy nightlife & partying, is just what we wanted. This area is more resorty, with hotels that feel more private and spacious. It is the perfect area to be when you don’t want to be surrounded by the heavy party vibe the Downtown offers.
Getting to Marquis Los Cabos
Coming from LA, Cabo is just a quick 2-hour flight away, which makes the trip so smooth & easy. With many direct flights each day, finding something that works for your flight dates is a breeze.
From the airport, Marquis Los Cabos is only a 30-minute drive. We chose to book a shuttle service directly to the airport, which I recommend doing. But take a quick stop at the airport bar outside before heading out!
The Property & Overall Vibe
Ambiance
From the moment you pull up to Marquis Los Cabos, you’ll be blown away. The open-air lobby with a huge archway showcasing the ocean is just chef’s kiss. We felt like we arrived in paradise. The entire resort is drenched in white stone, with beautiful art pieces – it feels extremely luxurious. I couldn’t imagine a more stunning hotel.
Pools, Beach & Amenities
The pools at Marquis Los Cabos!!!! WOW. One of the main reasons we went on this trip was to spend our days lounging at the pool, and this resort did not disappoint. There are three different pools to choose from – one center pool used for games throughout the day, and two identical pools flanking the left and the right.
With the multiple pool options, we never felt the pool was super packed. Definitely get down as early as you can, though, to get a good chair.
A waiter will come over to you once bar service begins at 9AM, and you’ll be able to order all of your drinks through him/her, as well as some pool snacks! The margaritas will flow all day, as you take in the incredible views!
The pool is right above the beach, which you can stroll along, though you cannot swim right here. The currents are way too strong. If you want to get in the ocean, you can walk a bit further down the beach to the Hilton, where they have a swimming cove. The water is still pretty rough over there, but was nice to get in the ocean for a bit! Just head right off the Marquis property, and you’ll follow the path right to the swimming cove.
The property also has a spa, for an additional charge, though we ended up not getting any treatments this trip. But, on the walk to the swimming cove, there’s also a local set up nestled right against the beach where you can get a massage for only $40, listening to the sound of the waves – how peaceful?!
Activities & Entertainment
The resort hosted activities each day that were a nice touch – ranging from basketball competitions, ping pong, pool volleyball games (too fun, and a great way to meet people), and even tequila & wine tastings. There’s always something going on each day if you want to take a break from the relaxation of the pool!
The last night we had in Cabo, we also chose to go on a sunset cruise – this is a MUST DO! We wanted to see the famous Arch Rock, and I can’t resist a sunset boat ride. We booked this through Viator (HERE) for $106 per person. This includes the 2-hour cruise, plus an open bar.
It was definitely one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had. We lucked out with an incredible sunset that night, and we were just in awe the entire time. And, they had a professional photographer on board, where you can pick & pay for a few of your favorites after!
And, don’t forget to check out shows the hotel puts on at night! Our first night at the hotel, they hosted a fire night, which was an incredible fire show with amazing performers, and we also caught the Mexican night, which was super fun with a mariachi band.
Service
I cannot say more great things about the staff at Marquis Los Cabos – they were so thoughtful and really made the trip go the extra mile. We ended up making friends with most of the activity staff – they were so fun. And, all of our waiters & waitresses were all very professional and accommodating.
Restaurants & Bars
With an all-inclusive, I never have the highest hopes for the food – but Marquis Los Cabos exceeded my expectations!
For breakfast, you can choose to eat downstairs at the buffet-style breakfast restaurant where you can order a-la-carte, as well. They have a ton of different juices & fresh fruit to choose from, which I loved to have each morning. You can’t go wrong with the chilaquiles, too! There were even a morning or two where we chose to order in and enjoy the breakfast on the balcony.
For dinner and lunch, you can choose between 4 different restaurants – Mexican, Japanese & Italian, which is included in the all-inclusive, or the French restaurant, which charges extra. Some nights, when there’s an event, they’ll also offer a buffet where you can grab food & enjoy the show.
The Italian restaurant was a favorite of ours, but be prepared for a slight wait for a table. We also had fun at the Japanese restaurant, though we weren’t amazed by the food.
When you’re by the pool during the day, they allow you to order off a huge menu of ceviches – there’s nearly ten options on the menu, and I think we tried them all by the end of our trip. It’s the perfect snack to have poolside, and some of the freshest seafood I had all trip. You can also order tacos, guacamole, and ceviche!
And, room service is 24/7 here, which is such a bonus. There were a few nights we ordered some quesadillas and fries for a bit of late-night snacking.
Our Junior Oceanfront Suite
We booked the Junior Oceanfront room, and it was just lovely. When we first arrived, we were welcomed in the room with a bottle of champagne & some fresh fruit – such a lovely touch!
The room was extremely spacious, with a balcony where we spent many mornings eating our breakfast admiring the views, a large seating area, a king-sized bed, and a huge bathroom. Not only was the shower nice & big, but there’s also a jetted tub with the option of pulling the curtains down to take in the view from your balcony.
The bathroom was also stocked with L’Occitane toiletries, and there’s also bathrobes & slippers provided – great for a lazy morning & lounging around.
And you’ll have a fully stocked mini fridge, filled with mini Coronas, sodas & a few snacks. They will refill this each day, so you’ll always be stocked up, but you can also call room service if you need anything else!
One of the cutest little touches they had was a secret cubby by the door, where the staff delivers coffee & pastries every morning. The staff drops this off, without access to your room, so each morning you can walk over and grab as soon as you wake up. How adorable?
How Much Does Marquis Los Cabos Cost?
The rooms at Marquis Los Cabos range from $600 to $2000 a night, with the more expensive options being the casitas on property. There are 209 suites and 24 casitas across the entire property, all of which are ocean facing!
Going in August, we were able to get a bit better of a deal because this is technically hurricane season in Cabo. Keep an eye out for promotions when booking directly through the hotel, as they frequently run advance purchase offers and seasonal discounts.
With everything included and the overall vibe of the property, I think the price of the rooms are pretty reasonable, especially split between two people. Most rooms allow up to three people, as well, if you plan to go with friends!

Is Marquis Los Cabos Worth It?
For us, absolutely. Marquis Los Cabos is the kind of resort I would recommend if your main goal is to relax, spend your days by the pool and have pretty much everything you need right on the property.
The biggest standouts for me were the beautiful oceanfront pools, spacious rooms, incredible views and the staff. We also really liked that the resort is adults-only and a little removed from Downtown Cabo, which made the entire trip feel much more relaxed.
The biggest thing to know before booking is that the beach directly in front of the resort isn’t swimmable. If getting into the ocean every day is a major priority for you, I would probably choose a different resort. But if you’re perfectly happy with an amazing pool overlooking the ocean — which we definitely were — I don’t think that’s a dealbreaker.
I would absolutely stay at Marquis Los Cabos again, especially for a birthday, couples trip or long weekend where the only thing on the agenda is relaxing with a margarita in hand.
