The Hilton Los Cabos Beach and Golf Resort sits on a sparking turquoise bay in the Sea of Cortez and has its own protected beach that provides guests with safe swimming (it’s one of the only swimmable beaches in the area) and stunning views. The resort has 275 guestrooms and 66 suites, and offers a wide range of room types, dining options and family-friendly activities, including kids’ spa services and a free supervised daytime kids’ program. Although Los Cabos is primarily a beach destination, there’s plenty of local culture, cuisine and nightlife to experience up in nearby cities. The Hilton is in a great location for visiting Mexican cultural attractions; it’s a 10-minute drive from downtown San Jose del Cabo and a 20-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas.

Standard room amenities include high-speed Internet access, flat-screen televisions with pay-per-view movies, complimentary daily newspapers, deep soaking Whirlpool tubs and private balconies. Room types range from Deluxe Rooms, which come with one king bed or two queen beds, to the luxurious Presidential Suites, which come with a master bedroom with one king bed and an additional bedroom with two queen beds, plus a living room, dining room and private outdoor Jacuzzi. Cribs are available on request.

Families will find plenty to do at the Hilton Los Cabos, from fun in the sun at the resort's beach and pool to active water sports. The hotel is by a protected bay that offers safe swimming conditions (no rip tides) for guests. There are two pools with swim-up bars and a Jacuzzi, and a pool concierge provides guests with iPods, reading materials and cool drinks. Additional on-site recreation facilities include tennis courts, a spa, which sells kid-friendly spa services such as children's massages and ice cream manicures and pedicures, an 18-hole golf course and a fitness center. Water sports equipment is available to rent near the hotel, such as wave runners and Hobie-cats. The hotel concierge will help arrange equipment, as well as assist in booking scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, fishing or boating excursions.

The Hilton Los Cabos offers a kids' Vacation Station for children ages 4 to 12. The Vacation Station is a supervised kids' club that runs from every day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and is complimentary. The club has a schedule of actives ranging from active play like jump rope and volley ball to arts and crafts. The hotel also offers on-site private babysitting services, which require 24-hour reservations. Rates start at $20 per hour.

Cabo San Lucas is an extremely popular destination for golfers; and the resort is in close proximity to five championship courses, inlcuding three designed by Jack Nicklaus.

The Hilton has an impressive selection of dining options with five on-site restaurants. El Meson serves Mexican-inspired dishes in a breathtaking setting with views of the infinity pool and the ocean beyond, and also has a morning breakfast buffet. Fenicia dishes up upscale dinners on a candlelit terrace. Diners at Fenicia feast on Mediterranean dishes like stuffed lamb and scallops. Unlike Fenicia, the Madero Bar and Grill is quite casual; order burgers, nachos, tacos more at this poolside restaurant. Or, eat sushi or sashimi for lunch or dinner at La Barca. Need some adults-only time? Sip on cocktails and munch on complimentary hors d'oeuvres (served from 7 p.m. until 8 p.m.) at La Vista. El Meson and Fenicia are the only two restaurants that offer children's menus, but chefs will create dishes to accommodate kids at most hotel restaurants.
