“One of the highlights of our vacation was the exhilarating boat tour to El Arco de Cabo San Lucas. This iconic natural arch, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, is undoubtedly a must-see, where the boat ride itself offered stunning views of Los Cabos’ rugged coastline and pristine blue waters. We were also delighted to get a close look at all of the different marine life, including playful sea lions basking on the rocks. This serene and awe-inspiring experience is perfect for families, providing a unique opportunity to connect with nature in a way you won’t find anywhere else while creating lifelong memories with those you love most.”
Make sure you stay in style
“Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas proved to be the perfect Los Cabos all inclusive resort for our family - with its exceptional service and luxurious amenities, we felt comfortable and well-cared for throughout our stay. The infinity pool with a panoramic view of the ocean and El Arco was one of our favourite spots for lounging and relaxing, but the resort also offers a variety of activities, including a waterpark that my teens absolutely loved, plus the close proximity to the beach and multiple pools on site ensured there was always something engaging to do. In the evening before dinner , the lobby was a fabulous location for family get-togethers, especially during sunset, which is one of the best I’ve ever seen. RIU's à la carte restaurants and incredible buffets consistently delivered delicious meals, making dining an enjoyable part of our daily routine.”

Leave no amenity un-tried
“One of the key aspects of successful Los Cabos vacations with the family is balancing relaxation with engaging activities – Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas offers numerous opportunities for both. My teens enjoyed water sports at the beach and we all appreciated the entertainment provided by the resort. Our family has a tradition of playing games together every evening before dinner; it’s a special time for us to reflect on the day and get more quality time – usually timed to catch the tropical sunset! The resort’s environment, with its stunning views and relaxed ambience, made these moments even more special.”
Explore beyond the resort
“While the resort provides ample entertainment, it's essential to explore outside as much of the things to do in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, each with its own unique experiences. Cabo San Lucas is known for its lively atmosphere and fantastic seafood restaurants, while San José del Cabo boasts charming art galleries and historic architecture. We also ventured into the desert countryside, experiencing exciting excursions from Sunwing’s trusted partner in destination, NexusTours.com, such as camel riding and dune buggy adventures. These activities provided a good infusion of excitement and allowed us to explore the diverse landscape, which is completely different from other parts of Mexico. Worth noting the contrast between the warm, sunny days and cooler evenings made for a pleasant overall experience. Remember to pack cardigans or light sweaters for the evenings!”
