Set sail for Villa del Arco All Inclusive Beach Resort & Grand Spa in Mexico. Los Cabos looks great from inside the replica of a Spanish galleon. Stride inside the pirate-themed Buccaneer for a round of tequila while the kids pretend their chicken fingers are cannons. Families feel at home on the picturesque grounds that overlook El Arco, the "Arch of Los Cabos," and Land's End, all just one mile from downtown shopping and nightlife in popular Cabo San Lucas. Cast away and experience the largest spa in all of Cabo at the Desert Spa at Villa del Arco, a European-style spa that draws from local treatments and remedies to pamper the mind and body.

Nice but Timeshare Madness
The hotel is beautiful and the food was great. The staff were great..they even remember your name. However, they REALLY try to push the timeshares and its rather annoying. I wouldn't go back just because I have been to other places that were all inclusive that were better and this one was 2 x more expensive.
First i would like to say that this place met all of our expectations. My wife and i have been to cabo a bunch of times and this is the best place so far, the food was good and the service was good. We had the all inclusive and that was the best investment we could of done. Some people might complain about the all inclusive and say that they dont get good service, well take some notes for all the people that never had all inclusive #1 always tip. Here's one example, their was a couple from ohio who ordered $125.00 worth of food and drinks as they were on the beach and getting top of the line service just like we were and after everything said and done, the waiter was left with no tip from them, as for us well the waiter got tipped a few different times and made sure we had drinks every 20 minutes and introduced us to the guy that was working that shift the next day, now that's what i call service.
First time in Cabo, and it was a great trip. Resort is quite new (5 years old or so) and feels fresh and very clean, unlike many other properties in the area. Mostly all good for the resort overall, with some specific nits that could be easily remedied in the future:
Good: Food exceeded expectations. Views were amazing from pool/beach. Service was pretty good - avoided the timeshare talk on day 1 and never heard another word about it. Pools were excellent. Nice beach beds and couches. Ability to use pools/restaurants at the sister resort next door was nice. Room was comfortable and always clean, bathroom was nice. Allegedly have water filtration for taps, but I wasn't brave enough to test it. Gym was very nice. Concierge was helpful, and they have an onsite travel agent to book local trips.
Bad: Had to wear the stupid all-inclusive bracelet at all times - this makes it easy for street merchants to ID you and your hotel. Beach was nice, but very short distance to water and steep. Lots of beach merchants make it hard to catch a nap, although the resort does rope off the guest areas. Often at on-site restaurants, it would take ages for the server to notice us at the beginning OR bring our check at the end, but service during the meal was oddly good. Poolside bar stupidly closes at 6pm - have to go to the bar inside the nice restaurant for a drink, which is nonsensical. Optional snorkeling trip while booking on this site is uninspiring - way too crowded, only 30 mins of actual snorkeling and turns into a super loud party barge on the way home.
Meh: Room was in the corner, poolside, so no real views. TV channel selection was terrible, no HD, but this is really splitting hairs. Mini-bar is NOT all-inclusive, which is bizarre and inconsistent with other Cabo resorts.
I would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Hotel Description
Villa del Arco All Inclusive Beach Resort & Grand Spa in Mexico: Los Cabos Views and More
Set sail for Villa del Arco All Inclusive Beach Resort & Grand Spa in Mexico. Los Cabos looks great from inside the replica of a Spanish galleon. Stride inside the pirate-themed Buccaneer for a round of tequila while the kids pretend their chicken fingers are cannons. Families feel at home on the picturesque grounds that overlook El Arco, the "Arch of Los Cabos," and Land's End, all just one mile from downtown shopping and nightlife in popular Cabo San Lucas. Cast away and experience the largest spa in all of Cabo at the Desert Spa at Villa del Arco, a European-style spa that draws from local treatments and remedies to pamper the mind and body.
Take a stroll on swimmable Medano Beach; admire the surf for hours or catch the sun at two beautifully designed pools. The rock formations and Spanish galleon makes guests feel like they've stepped back in time, while kids hunt for treasure and pretend they're mermaids. When your stomach starts rumbling, look no farther than two delicious all inclusive dining options: try the sea bass with zesty criolla sauce at La Perla or futo maki sushi at El Faro. When the sun sets, enjoy nightly theme shows or join the rowdy party scene in downtown Cabo San Lucas.
The all inclusive perks have you covered: paddle out in a kayak with the kids or strap on a snorkel mask to explore the depths. Drop the little ones off at the supervised kids' club at sister resort Villa del Palma or take them along for the big catch on a chartered fishing trip. Guest adore sitting on the furnished balconies that are a feature of every suite. Families feel right at home in the tastefully decorated Two Bedroom Suite that sleeps up to six, and features a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer. It even has three flat-screen TVs to accommodate everyone!
