One&Only Palmilla resort in Los Cabos, Mexico, has been acknowledged as one of North America’s most luxurious resorts by obtaining the AAA Five Diamond Rating. This prestigious distinction places One&Only Palmilla among the top one-half percent of the more than 29,000 accommodations approved by AAA.

The multiple award-winning One&Only Palmilla resort is situated at the tip of the Baja Peninsula and is an idyllic retreat offering 172 elegant guestrooms all with ocean views, including the four-bedroom Villa Cortez. 

The resort features a variety of dining experiences, from “Mexiterranean” and Euro-Asian cuisine along with fresh Sushi and Ceviches prepared by Michelin-starred chefs. In addition, One&Only Palmilla offers activities and excursions for both nature enthusiasts and adventure-seekers, including for both kids and teens, as well as serene beaches and pools and a 27-hole golf course.  The resort also offers One&Only Spa for indulgence and relaxation, and a 5000 square foot Executive Conference Center.

AAA’s inspectors conduct unannounced on-site hotel evaluations using published guidelines categorizing AAA approved properties along a rating spectrum of One to Five AAA Diamonds. Multiple evaluations and a final decision by a panel of experts constitute the review process for Five Diamond Rating candidates. For 2014, six hotels were added and seven removed from the Five Diamond list.

“We are thrilled  that One&Only Palmilla has attained the AAA Five Diamond Rating. We strive to provide unrivaled levels of service and an unforgettable guest experience to each and every guest, which is why we are so pleased with this recognition,” said Peter Bowling, Managing Director.
