The Reserve Beachclub

About The Reserve Beachclub

Doors open at 10am most days and close again at 5pm, which makes this a daytime proposition first — arrive mid-morning for a daybed, eat somewhere in the middle of it, and let the afternoon run out. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the exceptions, running through to 10:30pm and giving the lounge and chill-house soundtrack room to settle into the evening; Thursdays it stays shut. The kitchen works a Mediterranean-leaning seafood menu, and with table and bottle service across the loungers, the format is order-from-where-you're-lying rather than queue-at-a-bar. Fridays through Sundays draw the heaviest crowd, largely visitors staying along the Zona Hotelera, with a noticeable South American contingent and a broadly 25-to-45 room. Beachwear is the dress code and prices sit in the mid band, which for this stretch of San José del Cabo is fair. Valet handles the boulevard parking.
