It was a nice New Year’s Eve dinner. I would say that the ambience of the hotel is probably one of the most luxurious and exclusive hotels in Cabo. The fireworks, the ocean view and hospitality were great. I wasn’t too impressed with the food for the price (it was almost $700 for two of us for a simple 4 course set menu).
My main dish, lobster with creamy rice wasn’t as described and none of the dishes gave me any striking impressions as “Japanese infused cuisine”. I wonder if the chef has ever has visited real top class Japanese authentic restaurants in Japan…. Please don’t serve mochi ice cream in a high end restaurant.
I was expecting more like Michelin star restaurants level dining. Oh well.

I’m writing a review three months later… I am back in Cabo and every time passing by the 4 Season Hotel I can’t remain silent from sharing my experience. On my last trip to Cabo in September 2025, I visited numerous establishments where I always ordered ceviche ( from street food to nice restaurants) and everything was fine. I decided to celebrate my birthday at Cayao. I remember I ordered ceviche, which my friend didn’t eat at all ( that’s how I understood that I got food poisoned from ceviche I eaten but my friend was fine). A couple of hours later, I had severe stomach pain and vomiting. Temperature was super high.. ((It took me about a month to recover. I DON’T HAVE ANY FOOD ALLERGY tho.I don’t know what to say about a restaurant. I had a bad experience,but I won’t definitely go there for sure.

Cayao delivers an incredible, Peruvian-Japanese inspired dining experience that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Every dish we tried was memorable, starting with the spicy, garlicky edamame topped with lime and a punchy seasoning blend, the perfect snack to kick things off. The gyoza in a rich, savory broth were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The lightly seared tuna nigiri was another standout, melt-in-your-mouth tender and incredibly fresh. The short rib fried rice was pure comfort food, packed with rich, smoky flavor and perfectly cooked rice. The spicy sushi roll topped with fresh herbs and chili slices brought a great balance of heat and brightness. The atmosphere at Cayao is lively but relaxed, very kid-friendly (we felt totally welcome with a little one in tow), and the service was spot-on, attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend for a fun, flavorful night out at the resort. You also can’t go wrong with the incredible view.

Magical dinner for me and my GF. Some of the best tuna I’ve had in all of cabo. Plus the CFC aka Cayao fries chicken was marvelous. 11/10 will recommend to everyone

Good food. Poor service. I am a regular Cabo visitor and was looking forward to a special experience. Very disappointed. Service was marginal. We waited in the bar area for our table and watched wait staff stack dirty cups and dishes on the bar. Service was slow. This was not even close to Four Seasons quality. Cabo has many 5 star hotels and restaurants. This was not a 5 star experience.

12/10. This is a jewel. Nikkei cuisine (Japanese / Peruvian). Overlooks the ocean. Ceviche Cayao is a must try with the coco nut foam and cotton candy.

Our evening at Cayao was truly magical! The ocean views are breathtaking and the design is luxurious and beautiful. Every dish we ordered was delicious and full of flavor — my favorites were the Cayao ceviche, the udon noodles and the “cheese lollipops” from the kids menu … we came with a 5, 3, and 2yo (birthday boy!) and they were so
accommodating. High chairs, kids utensils & cups, coloring supplies. And then for my son’s birthday they brought out ice cream, sparklers AND champagne for the adults (AND a thoughtfully crafted champagne mocktail for me the pregnant mama). No detail was spared. Our server, Ime, was as sweet as can be. After dinner, we went upstairs to sit by the garden fire pits. It was the perfect night!

One of the best dinners of all time. Everything we ordered was a “wow”. Short rib fried rice, wagyu sashimi, angry tuna amongst our favorite! Unlike anything we have ever had before
