“Palmilla's garden luxury”

One&Only Palmilla is a stunning Los Cabos botanical-garden resort — spacious impeccably-furnished ocean-front rooms, swimmable beaches with excellent snorkeling, separate family and adult pools, a golf course, a gym and spa amid lush romantic grounds, top-notch childcare, a fabulous included breakfast, and attentive professionally-trained staff for the most demanding guests. Two honest notes: the food and drink run very high — not always justified by quality — and guests suggest Uber over a hotel-called taxi for nearby dining.
