Got a stash of Hilton Honors points? Or Hilton free night award certificates from credit cards such as Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card? Here’s your chance to book a stay this spring at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal – one of the best points hotels in Mexico and one of our absolute favourites.
Over the weekend, a member of the Travel on Point(s) Facebook community discovered a number of standard room rates available choose dates from the end of February to the beginning of May for 120,000 Hilton Honors points per night. That’s as good as it gets for this high-end property, which rarely sees more than a few days a month of affordability like this – if any.

Critically, this price point also means you can book with a Hilton free night certificate… and this precious property is a great way to use them, especially since they are now eligible to use any day of the week, not just in the weekends. Considering you won’t find a night bookable for less than $1,000 if you pay cash, this is a great deal using Hilton points.
Plus, travelers with any level of Hilton status can book five nights and pay just four thanks to Hilton’s fifth night free on award bookings. That means a five-night stay will cost you 480,000 Hilton Honors points or 96,000 points per night.
Thrifty tip: Got Platinum Card® from American Express? It comes with free Hilton Honors Gold status, which unlocks a fifth night free on award stays plus free breakfast – a huge money saver at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal.
Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering booking this deal.

A look at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedgregal
Spending 120,000 points per night is solid – especially if you use Hilton free night certificates, the free fifth night benefit, or a combination of both. But what do you really get with a standard room type at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal?
Let’s just say the rooms are anything but standard. I visited last April and the rooms are amazing.
We booked and stayed in a standard room that was about 900 square feet with a massive bathroom, a sitting area with a small fireplace, and a beautiful walk-out terrace with a small plunge pool that was kept at about 80 degrees. The rooms look good, especially the beamed ceilings.

How to search for availability with the calendar view
To find dates with standard room rates available at 120,000, the easiest way is to search with the calendar view. But that’s easier said than done, as Hilton doesn’t make searching for award nights very intuitive.
But there is a way to quickly bring up a calendar view that shows you all the nights with standard room availability.
After doing a quick search on Hilton’s website, I randomly threw in dates for a stay.
From here you can click on the date (February 20), and a full booking calendar will open. Be sure to select “Buy by price” at the bottom of the calendar view. Once you’ve done that, you’ll see a calendar view with all the order dates.
As long as you have “Use Points and Cash” checked, it will show award rates for each day of each month.
The bottom line
There is great price availability at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedgreal starting this month and running through mid-May 2023. Although every day within that window is not available, it is incredibly rare to see more than a few days reservable at this incredible the property.
This is just your ticket to a luxury vacation in Cabo for a winter or spring warm-up.
