Famous for being not only one of the best resorts in Mexico but also arguably the best Hilton resort in North America, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedegral sets a high bar. While the cash price before taxes is around $1,600/Night for a standard room, after taxes you can expect to spend well over $2,000/Night.
Luckily for us, since this is a Hilton property we can use our Hilton Free Night Certificates here (granted by the Amex Hilton Aspire card: americanexpress.com/en-us/ref.... Additionally, we can also use Hilton Honors points here at a rate of 120,000/Night or 96,000/Night after factoring in 5th night free. This is very interesting since Hilton often sells points at a rate of $0.005 each meaning we can effectively pay only $480/Night inclusive of tax. It goes without saying this is a phenomenal value.
I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Seriously, I have never seen resort grounds more meticulously maintained anywhere in the world. Service was warm, the rooms had amazing character, the food was delicious, and the views are breathtaking. Without a doubt, this is one of the best points redemptions on Earth.

Dude, thanks for introducing me to the world of luxury hotels on credit card points! It really opened my eyes. The level of service at this hotel was on another level. The poolside restaurant was the best quality food I've had at a hotel.

[@TheTravelLane]

It was an awesome trip! I’m glad you had a great time, hopefully we can do another meetup soon!

[@shanew7361]

Nice apartment complex with an unswimmable beach for 2k a night 😂 hard pass.

[@SebastianGarcia-jx8lv]

You can definitely swim in that beach, maybe old people can't but it ain't as bad as it looks, also depends on the time of the year and the moon position, but I had no problems swimming in a beach very close to this Pedregal area.

I’m currently staying here with a friend, and we upgraded to the full buffet breakfast. I’d say that I’m very impressed with their selection, with rotating egg specials, a juice bar, tons of pastries and other savory goods. The upgrade was well worth it to us. However, great video

[@TheTravelLane]

I should have clarified that I did pay the upgrade charge. The breakfast was definitely not bad by any means but I think for a hotel charging this high of rates it could have been better. There should have at least been an à la carte menu to order off of imo especially since they are charging an upgrade charge. Also it did give me a bit of a bad impression that they even have a breakfast upgrade charge, it comes off as a bit stingy to me

[@neuralsurfer]

Fantastic.... love it

[@zheningc3401]

The video is great!

[@TheTravelLane]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@grimreapper]

I'm going for a week in 2 weeks. I'll be getting that breakfast 100%. I was also going to bring my drone, I haven't asked the concierge about it yet though. Did you have any issues getting it through the airport?

[@mitchell.9632]

Are you rolling the dice or do you have or get international insurance for health when traveling? The food looks awesome! Wish you had a blog with the recipes.

[@TheTravelLane]

Great question! To be honest I just wing it, I am not saying that anyone else should but that’s what I do personally.

[@jessicalam1199]

You should've included your friend in the video🤣

[@jen4405]

Hiii roughly, how much did the floating breakfast cost? Haven’t seen much out there about this one 😅

[@OKZK_Bros]

Do you know if the WA 100 dollar credit from the Aspire card is eligible still? even tho I booked two nights with certificates?

[@boknows8263]

can I just get the free breakfast as a diamond member and don't order anything else? too costly for the food

[@ryleeamos7334]

Hey Shaun, how are you able to get 4 aspire cards? I thought the max was 3. Thanks in advance!

[@TheTravelLane]

You can get more by upgrading from lower-tier Hilton cards to the Aspire. Also I pay for the annual fee on 2 of my parent's cards but they let me use the benefits

[@planaheadstayahead]

Was airport transfer $160 roundtrip

[@911eVoX]

Video audio seemed very rushed. Not great quality

[@riosafado]

been there, not worth it the price, more like $600

[@PaulBlount-yc3sd]

What's the Was the restaurant by the ocean in u s dollars or pesos

[@TheTravelLane]

It was charged in dollars and the price depended on if you ordered the vegetarian set menu (around $80) or the standard menu (around $125)

[@camvworld5674]

How was the prices of the food here? Thank you for sharing this.

[@TheTravelLane]

Great question! Honestly pretty expensive, a standard poolside dish would be like $25 at least. To be entirely honest I kinda didn’t pay much attention to the food prices since I had a ton of Hilton resort credit I had to use from the Aspire cards 😂

[@weretheosbornes]

Oof. I have a dinner reservation at el farron in august. What’s that gonna cost me you think lol.

[@TheTravelLane]

@@weretheosbornes I actually just ate there yesterday (lol yeah I went back to WA Cabo). The vegetarian menu was $78 per person and the standard menu was about $90 per person (the specific amount depends on which main you order). Keep in mind this is **before** tax and service fee. My bill for 2 vegartian meals and 2 bottles of water was $248 including everything. It is an expensive restaurant no doubt but I would still reccomend going. The atmosphere is unlike any other restaurant I've ever seen. 100% worth it
