Viceroy Los Cabos Review

Our Verdict

Viceroy Los Cabos Review

Viceroy Los Cabos located in San José del Cabo and is like no other place on earth. The architecturally stunning concept by Miguel Angel Aragonés lures you into a quiet state of mind with its cinematic views and striking architecture around every turn. The guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies where you can rest, relax and recharge.

Viceroy Los Cabos is a luxury beachfront resort that features modern accommodations, plenty of dining options, a holistic spa and an incredible rooftop bar & restaurant.

This review is based off of our personal stay in September of 2020. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at Viceroy Los Cabos, book through Live Luxe Travel Co. to take advantage of exclusive complimentary extras like a room upgrade (subject to availability at check-in), $100 hotel credit, daily breakfast and a welcome amenity.

If you are looking for luxurious accommodations with access to everything you need without leaving the resort, than look no further than Viceroy Los Cabos.

Our Room

During our stay at Viceroy Los Cabos, we stayed in a Resort View King Bed guest room. These rooms are located in the main building of the resort and offer sweeping views of the entire resort toward the beach. It’s worth noting that all guest rooms have outdoor patios or balconies.

All of the guest rooms have voice automated guest engagement through Alexa, Smart TVs, Nespresso coffee machines, adjustable dimmer and mood lighting, automated sheers and blackout curtains and rainfall showers.

While the rooms might seem a bit on the smaller side, they are very functional and comfortable. The outdoor living space is meant to be an extension of your room with glass sliding doors that separate the open air from your air conditioned escape.

The layout of this bathroom isn’t your typical bathroom. Everything was very simplistic and compartmentalized. We absolutely loved having the closet next to the vanity as it made getting ready very easy. And we can’t forget to mention the extra large shower with 2 shower heads.

Amenities

If you’re looking for a luxury resort in Cabo with plenty of amenities look no further than Viceroy Los Cabos. On property there is an amazing spa, fitness center, several pools, a great beach and a movie theater.

The SPA at Viceroy Los Cabos is an 11,000 square foot modern and luxurious full-service spa with plenty of amenities. The spa amenities include locker rooms with sauna, shared facilities that include a vitality pool, hot Jacuzzi, cold Jacuzzi, thermal loungers, ice fountain, sauna, steam room and more.

During our stay at Viceroy Los Cabos we did experience The SPA and it was so relaxing! Visiting any spa during COVID can be a different experience just because of having to wear a mask, etc but we were really impressed at the way The SPA handled everything from the electronic check-in that included a health questionnaire, the staff wearing masks and having hand sanitizer readily available.

If health and wellness is a focus for you even while on vacation then you’re going to love The GYM at Viceroy Los Cabos. This is probably one of the biggest and nicest hotel gyms we have ever used. The GYM features cardiovascular equipment, Hoist Roc-It strength equipment, weight racks, spin bikes, bootcamp – circuit fitness room and an adult jungle gym (motion cage powered by cables and weights).

Dining

Prepare for the ultimate culinary experience while staying at Viceroy Los Cabos. With 5 food and beverage outlets to choose from you’re sure to find exactly what you’re craving. During our stay we enjoyed breakfast each day at Casero Restaurant which is the resort’s main restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And the breakfast is not your average breakfast. The breakfast menu includes everything from your typical American breakfast (eggs, your choice of breakfast meat and potatoes), to things like Fluffy Japanese Pancakes, Chilaquiles, Eggs Benedict and more.

Our favorites were the Chilaquiles, Eggs Benedict and the Designer Omelet. And you must try the pastries with your morning coffee.

We also enjoyed tacos one afternoon at the pool from the pool menu. And when we say tacos, these were bougie tacos that were steak served in cheese crusted tortillas.

As they say when in Rome…when at Viceroy Los Cabos you must dine at Cielomar Rooftop for the ultimate dining experience. The food is great, the views are better and it offers Los Cabos nightlife.

The menu at Cielomar has pizza, steak, seafood and more. We enjoyed the Organic Chicken and the Prime New York Striploin and both were delicious.

And sometimes you just need to have a kick back meal in your room and that is something in-room dining at Viceroy Los Cabos can deliver on. One night we didn’t feel like going to dinner so we ordered burgers and fries from room service. The burgers were some of the best burgers we have ever ate.

Service

When you stay at a 5-star property you expect 5 star service and that is exactly what you will find at Viceroy Los Cabos. All of the staff we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and prompt.

How are they handling COVID?

Like any hotel stay in 2020, it looks a little different than pre-COVID. Viceroy Hotels launched Viceroy’s Promise of Cleanliness which is a complete health and safety plan to help keep guest colleagues and communities safer.

Viceroy Los Cabos is adhering to all state and local government regulations and Viceroy’s Promise of Cleanliness. All employees were wearing masks, there were hand sanitizer dispensers all over the resort and there was signage and markings on the floor in all common areas to encourage social distancing.

In fact when we arrived at Viceroy Los Cabos before we were permitted inside the resort, we had to have our temperatures taken with a touchless thermometer. And or luggage was taken from us to be disinfected.

Overall Impression

There are plenty of luxury resorts to stay at in Cabo, but there is nothing quite like Viceroy Los Cabos. This stunning sanctuary makes the perfect place for a couples getaway or family vacation as there is something for everyone.

The accommodations, the food, and the staff, made for a flawless stay, even while traveling during these unprecedented times.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Viceroy Los Cabos with Live Luxe Travel Co., through our partnership, you’ll receive a $100 resort credit, daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade and a welcome amenity.
