Grand Palladium Vallarta, Baha'i Principe Coba, Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos, Dreams Los Cabos, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos.... How do I choose? They're all in my price range presented by the travel agent, 2 adults, December trip. Or can I get a better deal sans agent?

We stayed at Sandso this winter. Loved the location. Could walk everywhere so didn't feel trapped at the resort.

Bahia Principe is great, and you have access to 3 different resorts.

Principe coba is newer, but no where near the beach...long walk or you take the shuttle. Dreams Los Cabo is my favorite...we we're married there, however, the waves are huge and you may not be allowed in the ocean. Palladium is nice and the beach is great. The Mayan side is the nicest, and closer to Playa you go, the better the beach. Resorts in Cabo shut down at around 11pm for some reason, weird. Are you looking to mellow out at the pool/beach, are you looking to site see, etc...?

Likely mostly mellow, with a bit of site seeing. Leaning towards Cabo.

Cabo is perfect then. Rent a jet ski from the marina and go for a rip by the arch and divorce/lovers beach. Then off to Cabo Wabo for some bevies. Have fun wherever you end up!!

Impact travel is amazing and Liz is very negligible. No fees. The Hyatt Ziva is supposed to be amazing but I haven't stayed there.

I have stayed at Hyatt Ziva, the food and service was amazing. We had a swim up room, we gave the waitress $20 and she kept delivering drinks and even lunch to us in our own pool. We booked via westjet vacations. The transportation was included but I hired our own private transport for $100 so I didn't buy a timeshare while trying to get to my hotel!

Did you just use a cab on arrival?

Tracy no I had the hotel hire a van for me. There were 7 of us with luggage so a cab wouldn’t work.

Hyatt Ziva Los Cobos ... simply amazing! Everything about it.

Just got back from the Royal Solaris Los Cabos!!!! Absolutely loved it and had a great time. Entertainment was awesome, food was great, drinks were awesome , service was amazing. Right across from the Kiss bar and shopping. Don't have one bad thing to say and a group of 7 went

Grand palladium was fantastic! Lots of activities

If the agent has already worked with you and advised you, it would be disrespectful to book elsewhere, or at least not pay them for their time.
Grand Palladiuk Vallarta is a great place. Good food, excellent staff, lovely beach.

Pick the farthest one south. Mexico is cold in December.

I would check:
- Resort Size (total number of Rooms) matters when it comes to beach chairs by the pool
- A-la-carte restriction (some only offers 3/week)
- Do they need Reservations (is you care)
- Total Number is restaurants vs total rooms
- location - if you plan on leaving the resort some are more hassle then others.
- room inclusions (beer, wine, juice, water) so don’t have wine in rooms (again if important)
- room service (it can be extra even at all inclusives)
- Area - Cancun/Mayan have différent sans and beach and the sun sets behind you! pacific doesn’t have as nice a beach but amazing sunset in the water in front of you. Cabo has very few swimmable beaches, tends to be a little cooler at night but guaranteed Blue sky and sun everyday (windy season Jan/feb/mar)
In all honesty, if you have a good travel agents they should be able to advise. If not, find a better one they will all have same price as commission Is paid by supplier.
