For years, Mexico’s first Park Hyatt has been in the pipeline. It’s one of the upcoming Hyatt properties that I’m most excited about. I wanted to provide an update on this resort, as it has finally started accepting reservations!
In this post:
Basics of the Park Hyatt Los Cabos, Mexico
Back in 2017, plans were announced for the Park Hyatt Los Cabos, located in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The Park Hyatt will be situated on a 26-acre property within Cabo Del Sol, a golf resort community that stretches along two miles of beach. This is the same development where the new Four Seasons Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol is located, which just recently opened.
The resort is expected to feature 162 guest rooms and suites, plus 35 residences. Entry level rooms will be 649 square feet, and will boast a 186 square foot patio. Meanwhile entry level suites will be 956 square feet, and will boast a 456 square foot patio with a plunge pool.
As you’d expect, the hotel will feature a ton of amenities, including multiple dining outlets and bars, golf courses, a large spa, a gym and wellness area, and more.
The challenge is that like so many projects, this one has also been delayed significantly. It was initially supposed to open in late 2020, but it’s still not open. Fortunately Hyatt has just started accepting reservations for the property for stays as of August 1, 2025, so that’s at least a positive development. Given the track record of new hotels opening, I wouldn’t necessarily count on that sticking, but we can hope!
This is one of three new Park Hyatt properties planned for Mexico, with the other two being the Park Hyatt Cancun and Park Hyatt Mexico City. All are expected to open in 2025, so let’s see how that goes (I’d be shocked if more than one opens in 2025).
Park Hyatt Los Cabos rates & points requirements
With the Park Hyatt Los Cabos now accepting reservations, what are rates like? For those redeeming points, this is a Category 8 World of Hyatt property, meaning a free night redemption in a standard room costs 35,000-45,000 points per night. Meanwhile a free night redemption in a standard suite costs 56,000-66,000 points per night.
Cash rates at the Park Hyatt Los Cabos currently start at just over $750 per night, before Mexico’s very high taxes and service charges, which total around 35%. Those are the starting rates, and seasonally you can expect the rates will be higher than that.
If you are looking to book a cash stay here, I’d recommend doing so through the Hyatt Privé program, which offers extra perks like room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and a hotel credit. If you’d like help with a Hyatt Privé booking, Ford and his team are happy to help, and can be reached at [email protected].
Why I’m excited about the Park Hyatt Los Cabos
As I’ve written about in the past, Los Cabos is one of my favorite places to vacation. The service is amazing (hospitality is great in Mexico in general, and is even more elevated in Los Cabos), the food is delicious, the climate couldn’t be better, I love the rugged desert-meets-ocean landscape, and it’s also a great place for whale watching. Best of all, it’s close to the United States, so there’s no major jetlag to deal with.
The issue with Los Cabos is that luxury points hotels are largely lacking:
- The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is great, but award space can be really hard to come by
- The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, is probably the all-around most reliable points property in terms of quality and award availability
- Zadun Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is also excellent, though Marriott Bonvoy points requirements at Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties are steep
- Solaz Los Cabos, a Marriott Luxury Collection, disappointed me, and in my opinion exists solely to sell timeshares; the hotel suddenly and mysteriously closed in 2021, though has reopened, but I’m good on it
It’s nice to think that there will be yet another “true” luxury points hotel in Los Cabos. Best of all, it belongs to World of Hyatt, which means we can look forward to proper elite benefits, like complimentary breakfast, the ability to use suite upgrades, etc.
Redeeming points in Los Cabos is also especially valuable, given that taxes and service charges total around 35% of the room rate. This should be a great use of points, though admittedly on the high-end, World of Hyatt’s points redemptions are much more costly than they used to be.
Bottom line
The Park Hyatt Los Cabos is now accepting reservations for stays as of August 2025. The 168-room resort should be a great new option for those looking to earn or redeem World of Hyatt points. I just wouldn’t count on this timeline sticking with certainty, and for that matter, even if it does open on time, it’s possible that it won’t be ready for primetime.
Anyone else excited about the Park Hyatt Los Cabos?
Ben, why are you marketing Hyatt Prive with Ford? We reached out and were told he was too busy for new clients. Feels disingenuous.
@ JPP -- I'm sorry to hear he wasn't able to help when you reached out. I'm not marketing Ford's services in this post. I'm just mentioning the Hyatt Prive program, which is the best way to for many people to book, and there are lots of advisors with access to the program.
Don't share the excitement with Los Cabos as swimable beaches are a must for me and the area is severely lacking in those. Plus at 45K pts per night, that is kind of crazy.
Don't book the first week or two. These Hyatt properties are notorious for late openings.
Note that currently, suites are not available on points. You can of course book the LP Suite upgrade rate.
Also, I tried to apply an SUA, but found out since the hotel isn't open to block the suite, SUA's cannot yet be applied.
