Top 5 Hotels in Cabo With Swim-Up Rooms for Poolside Fun

Dreaming of staying in Cabo at a resort with a swim-up room?

We’re with you! There’s no denying the joy of slipping straight from your terrace into the pool.

Forget the hassle of reserving a pool chair or hunting for a quiet corner – your own personal lounge area is right outside your room, with the pool just steps away.

It’s the perfect set-up for couples craving privacy and romance, especially honeymooners. Families will love it too, as the kids can splash around while you kick back on your terrace lounger.

In Los Cabos, this is a smart move.

While you can swim at some beaches, many aren’t safe due to rips and strong waves. So having a room with direct pool access makes all the difference if you’re not at a resort with a swimmable beach.

Here, we’ve sussed out the five best hotels in Cabo with swim-up rooms. (And just to clarify, these aren’t private pool suites, but rooms that let you step into a shared pool from your patio or terrace.)

1) Paradisus Los Cabos

Stunning modern white hotel overlooking a gold sand beach and the ocean

Recently renovated, Paradisus Los Cabos is a deluxe all-inclusive resort for adults only.

It has 350 well-appointed rooms (435 square feet in size), decorated in soothing shades of white, and featuring an egg-shaped soaker tub in your room.

Opt for The Reserve level to enjoy a swim-out room and VIP benefits like a personal concierge, an exclusive pool and a private lounge with snacks and cocktails.

You won’t get bored with the food.

The resort has seven restaurants and seven bars (including a swim-up bar). La Palapa is just for The Reserve guests and offers open-air dining with Sea of Cortez views. (Keep an eye out for whales in the winter!)

What’s special?

Paradisus is one of the rare Cabo resorts with a beach that’s safe for swimming – and here that beach hugs a gorgeous turquoise cove. So when you want to switch it up, you can easily go from poolside lounging to diving into the ocean.

Swim-up rooms

The swim-up guest rooms are tucked away in the resort’s exclusive “The Reserve” VIP section.

These suites have it all – a king-size bed, a cozy lounge area with a sofa-bed and 50-inch flat-screen TV, a Nespresso machine (for early morning coffee by the pool) and a sleek bathroom with a double rain shower.

And when you’re ready for a dip, simply walk right down the steps from your terrace into the private pool in this VIP section (shared only with other VIP guests).

Luxury level and price point

With its unbeatable beachfront location and upscale amenities, Paradisus Los Cabos is an excellent choice for adults craving a good-quality getaway at a reasonable price. (Just a heads-up – it’s popular with groups, who sometimes get a little wild on their first day.)

For a similar upscale vibe, also check out Hyatt Ziva (#5 below). It offers a comparable experience, but at slightly lower all-inclusive rates.

2) Nobu Hotel Los Cabos

Nobu Hotel Los Cabos is where Zen meets the Baja vibe – a luxury AAA Four-Diamond Resort, recommended by the Michelin Guide, but without any over-the-top flashiness.

Co-founded by Japanese culinary genius Nobu Matsuhisa, along with Robert De Niro and film producer Meir Teper, this place oozes cool without trying too hard. Think a design blend of modern Japanese minimalism and desert chic.

All rooms have traditional Onsen teak soaking tubs, cloud-like Nobu beds with organic cotton linens and Italian stone bathroom vanities.

Foodies will be delighted by the dining options – important since the hotel (which isn’t all-inclusive) is located about 20 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, making it likely you’ll dine in.

Of course, there’s the famed Nobu Restaurant. But you’ve also got a rooftop Mediterranean spot, a fine dining Mexican resto and a steakhouse, along with 24-hour room service. There’s also a champagne bar for a little extra indulgence.

The fitness center is top-notch – offering yoga, Pilates, Tabata and other fitness classes you’ll actually enjoy!

Afterward, unwind at the world-class Esencia Wellness Spa. One of Cabo’s finest spas, it features an outdoor hydrotherapy garden and a full menu of blissful Asian-inspired therapies.
