If you have kids- a smaller size casita closer to the family and kid pools are better than the larger villas that are a hike away at the vet back of the property

I’d imagine this will become the most popular aspirational property in the entire WA/Hilton portfolio, both due to its incredible hard product (we will have to wait and see if WA can replicate its soft product excellence) and its proximity to and common resort destination for the USA.
The WA Maldives will be the second or tied with this for most aspirational. This one is just so much closer to the USA and the bulk of Hilton elites.

Just tried booking here using a weekend cert. Seems like it is possible but while talking to Diamond Desk, we could only ever find four standard/base rooms on any given night. Perhaps all but four of their rooms are premium?
Anyway, DW and I certainly want to use WN Companion Pass to visit Cabo and weekend certs for the stay, 'twould be quite a redemption. Will be keeping an eye on this thread, thanks!

they created a new room type, partial ocean view, that’s not listed on the original Pedregal website in order to limit the costs of redemptions to Hilton Honors. it is clearly a small number of rooms. the price delta is 20 bucks in cash but 200K in points.

stay report? chance of be my guest cert?
Assessing my options for be my guest certs that expire end of the year. Im out of LAX and the only compelling property is Hungtington Beach hilton, weve stayed several times and Hotel Del if they accept them. So looking to see if I can convince my family to travel... This property looks incredible. Also looking at the Grand Wailea -I was in the area for dinner this summer there but didn't stay and get a full sense of it.

Maybe someone could chime in who has stayed here in the past / would be great to hear from someone who's been to the resort since the Waldorf takeover.

as Diamond, 2 category upgrade on award to deluxe which is same room but the private pool has a good amount of privacy. impressed as resort is sold-out.
welcome amenity of margarita at checkin plus chips/guac & 2 Coronitas on 1st evening. plus a mini couple-shots of tequila in decorative bottle (not yours to keep).
free brekkie is the full buffet (only, no subs) priced at $40/ea. it’s fine. includes lattes and teas, no sodas. a $0 receipt is presented and says 15% tip already included. nothing posts to folio.
free sangria each evening in lobby plus coffee/doughnuts in AM and cookies/iced tea afternoon.
dinner mains are $40 in primary restaurant, $75 in seafood restaurant on cliff. plus 31% but at least all receipts label tip line as Additional Gratuity. cocktails are $16, wine $20/glass. skip dinner in main restaurant. seafood on the cliff is orders of magnitude superior.
Cabo marina easy walk but way trashy.
all public pools heated to 85 or so.
turndown service nightly.
free light minibar, like at Andaz.
fast wifi.
all staff ridiculously nice.
excellent gym.
private pool can be heated to 90 max. just ask or will be natural temp.
Ciento Lindo at $140 for roundtrip transfers a good price and reliable.
Ocean is for the view only. Red flagged always for no entry.
Hour massage is $250 out the door!
No resort fee on folio (award stay)

No Standard Room Reward Availability?
Looked today, using Hilton's Points Explorer (http://pointsexplorer.hiltonhonors.com/), to find standard room reward availability (120,000 points per night). I have searched for 2 night stays and 5 night stays, nothing available. Is this normal, am I doing something wrong, and are others getting the same results? I have searched all date combos from this week to December 2020. Can someone confirm or deny? Thanks in advance!
