WOW!!!!! We were blown away by the beauty of this restaurant! It's location is outstanding, the grounds were magnificent and the food and service were impeccable! Although we were seated indoors, our table was the corner table that overlooked the water and had sliding glass doors and we were quite pleased! And the beautiful stained glass bar is a magnificent... More

Cabo is certainly not for the budget traveller depending on the circles you move in. Agua is a breakfast dinner destination. Limited Mexican fair for dinner. Best tortilla soup we had. Great view but extremely expensive for what is being served. A better variety would be nicer. After all I am in Mexico, a more innovative Mexican fair would at... More

Agua and Agua Bar are my home-away-from-home in Cabo! The atmosphere is outstanding, service is the BEST, and the food delicious!! This time, we sat at a table right on the water. It doesn't get any better!

My friend and I went early for drinks at the bar. Unreal view. The coconut margarita's are great. For dinner we shared fettuccine with sausage. Highly recommend. For the whole night it cost us 100. Person. I go here often and bring every guest we have because the experience is a treat.

.. was Valentine's dinner at Agua. We have been enjoying Palmilla long before it became a One & Only and have high expectations. Our condo is just done the beach and in the past Palmilla has been our first choice for special occasions.

Over ridden with toddlers....not just kids... babies everywhere!!!!Resort does an excellent job of providing a great venue for families and adults providing pools for both.

The ambiance was a little stuffy. We had lunch there after playing 18 holes of golf. The workers seemed a little stuffy and the flies about carried us away Everyone seemed just a little too good.

Worth a visit to experience the amazing grounds and resort. Agua is an indoor / outdoor restaurant / bar with a beautiful setting. The food and service were good, but not outstanding.

Agua is located in a gated resort. You are checked in at the gate and met at the resort entrance and then escorted through a long garden to the restaurant. Service and food are impeccable and the setting by the sea is wonderful. It's expensive but worth it.
