El Ganzo

San José del Cabo


A departure from the waterfront's cookie-cutter hotels, El Ganzo makes a big to-do about independent art, music and gastronomy, identifying itself as a 'hipster hacienda.' You certainly won't find an underground recording studio at any other stay in Los Cabos, or a Thursday-night vinyl and craft cocktails event for that matter. Art-filled rooms and common spaces are super comfy.

Top-notch amenities include a beach club (accessible by boat), a few gorgeous but average restaurants and a rooftop pool surrounded by daybeds with striking views of the Sea of Cortez. Yes, there's yoga.
