The only Los Cabos resort built around a swimmable protected cove — Santa María Bay is calm enough for young children to wade in, and the snorkeling directly offshore is the area's best. Four pools, a kids' club, and Auberge service that handles families without making them feel managed.

Kids' and teens' clubs among Mexico's best; the cenote pool is a genuine discovery. The standard sits well above the typical all-inclusive.
