"Only thing we didn't like was the lack of entertainment at night, show at 8pm too early, couldn't go to any of them. Food is good but not much variety in comparison to other All Inclusive we've been to. "
"The Posada Real has wonderful, friendly staff in an older, classic Mexican resort. Most of the guests are local and with families. The facilities are older and in need of some updating, especially around the pool area, but the location is great and right on the beach, and is very relaxing."
Villa La Valencia Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Everything about the resort was amazing! Downsides, non-swimmable beach and they changed how the kids club wasn't part of the all inclusive package. But it didn't stop us and our kid had a blast each time he went!"
