What is the capacity of The Ledge and how large is the venue?
The Ledge’s outdoor dining area is around 279 square meters and can host roughly 150 people at once (www.hyatt.com). It’s designed as an open-air patio and lounge rather than a show-hall, so seating is arranged for meals. In practice, this means about 100–150 diners can be accommodated in one service. It’s popular for group dinners and events but remains mid-size. (Reserve early if you have a large party.)
How do I make a reservation or “buy tickets” for a dining event at The Ledge?
The Ledge functions as a restaurant, so you reserve a table rather than buy tickets. Reservations can usually be made online or by calling the hotel’s reservations (the hotel is part of Hyatt’s system). For special dinners or brunches, space is limited, so book as far in advance as possible. There’s no separate box office. On arrival, you simply check in with the host. If an event has limited openings (like a paired wine dinner), the hotel will notify guests in advance.
What are the typical prices for food and drinks at The Ledge?
The Ledge is moderately upscale. Expect appetizers and tacos around $10–15 USD, mains in the $25–35 range, and desserts about $10–15. For example, tacos and small plates are roughly $12–18, and entrées (like marinated fish or specialty tacos) are around $26–30 (places.singleplatform.com) (places.singleplatform.com). Cocktails and spirits are in the mid-$15 range (e.g. signature mezcal or margarita cocktails are about $17–18 (places.singleplatform.com) (places.singleplatform.com)). A full dinner with drinks for two typically runs in the low hundreds (USD) before tip. Be sure there is a 15% service charge added to the tab, which is standard for the resort.
What is the dress code at The Ledge?
The dress code is resort casual. In practice, shorts and sundresses are fine for daytime. For dinner, smart casual is recommended: think collared shirts or blouses rather than swimwear or beachwear. No towels or bare feet. Since the venue is open-air, you may also want a light sweater for cool evenings. Flip-flops are generally discouraged for dinner. Even on Sunday brunch, guests often dress up a bit (nice casual). There’s no formal tux requirement, but avoid overly casual athletic wear or non-resort attire.
Is The Ledge wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The Ledge is designed to be wheelchair-friendly. The main dining area is on one level with level pathways, and TripAdvisor notes the venue has “Acceso para discapacitados” (www.tripadvisor.es). The Arches Ledge dining area connects to the hotel lobby (which has wheelchair-accessible restrooms). Guests in wheelchairs can be accommodated at any table. If you have specific needs, it’s best to mention them when you make your reservation so staff can prepare.
Where is the entrance and do I need to go through the hotel lobby to get to The Ledge?
You enter The Ledge via The Cape hotel property. If arriving by car or cab, go to the main hotel entrance on the cliff side. There’s typically a valet station. From the drop-off, follow signs or a short walkway that leads either down or along the lobby level to the restaurant patio. It’s outdoors but steps and clear signage direct you from the lobby to The Ledge. In short, yes, enter through the hotel’s front and proceed to the outside terrace; no need to walk around the building separately.
What are the opening hours for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
The Ledge serves three meals daily. Breakfast buffet starts at 7:00 AM every day. Lunch service typically runs through the afternoon (roughly 11:30 AM–4:45 PM). Dinner service begins around 5:30 PM on weekdays and Sunday, usually until 10:15 PM (www.tripadvisor.es) (www.tripadvisor.es). Note Saturdays often end the afternoon service (around 4:45 PM) and may not offer dinner regular service (check current hours). On Sundays, a special brunch runs until about 2:00 PM, then dinner resumes at 5:30 PM. Always verify current hours before your visit, but generally plan breakfast any day after 7 AM, lunch early afternoon, and dinner (or upscale brunch) in the evening hours.
What is the best way to get to The Ledge via public transportation?
Public buses (often called “camiones”) run along Autopista Transpeninsular, but none stop directly at The Cape. If you want to use local transit, you could take Route 1 or 2 buses to downtown Cabo San Lucas, then transfer to a smaller local bus or colectivo heading south through Pedregal and ask to be dropped near the Pueblo Bonito/Lighthouse Villas area, then walk to the resort. However, this is cumbersome. Most visitors find taxis or ride-share (Uber/Lyft/Cabify) to be the easiest way. Taxis from downtown cost roughly 300–400 MXN (≈$15–20 USD) to get to The Cape (www.rome2rio.com). There is no direct shuttle service from the airport or city; a taxi or rental car is recommended for point-to-point travel to The Ledge.
Is parking available at The Cape for Ledge diners?
Yes – The Cape hotel offers both self-parking and complimentary valet for guests and dining patrons. Hotel amenities list “Free Parking” and “Valet Parking” (www.hyatt.com) (www.hyatt.com), meaning you can drive up and have your car parked securely at no extra charge. Just indicate you’re dining at The Ledge. The parking area is spacious but can fill up on weekends or during big events. If driving yourself, follow signs for The Cape resort, pull under the porte-cochere, and a valet will assist. Street parking outside is not practical, so use the hotel lot.
Are there any notable events or shows to see at The Ledge?
The Ledge isn’t a concert hall, so events are mostly related to dining. The highlights are weekly themed meals with live music – notably Sunday brunch with a band or singer (a live guitarist or quartet) and the Thursday “Smoked & Firewood” dinner with acoustic performers. These are the only regular “shows.” Occasionally the hotel hosts special one-time events like guest chef dinners or holiday parties, which might feature DJs (for example, the hotel has hosted sets by well-known artists like Mousse T (fiproturloscabos.com)). There are no headliners or ticketed concerts here. If you see mention of music, it’s usually small-scale and included with your meal. Otherwise, the view and atmosphere are the main “attractions.”
Does The Ledge have a children’s menu or any age restrictions?
Yes, The Ledge is family-friendly during the day and early evening. There is a special children’s menu served in the early dinner period, typically from around 5:00–7:30 PM. After 7:30 PM, The Ledge enforces an adults-only policy (no minors) to maintain the dinner atmosphere. This means children must finish dinner by about 7:30PM. This policy was implemented by the restaurant, so if you plan to bring kids, aim for an earlier table. Otherwise, minors are not permitted at late-night dining. There is no legal “age limit” for entry during adult hours, but this courtesy rule effectively restricts the crowd to 18+.
Can I pay in U.S. dollars or do I need Mexican pesos?
Both currencies are accepted. The menu (and resort fees) often list prices in USD and MXN, and the hotel will accept major credit cards as well. For convenience, you can pay in U.S. dollars at The Ledge. However, note you may get a slightly better rate using pesos (and vice versa for returning change). There is often a credit/debit card machine but no automatic currency conversion – so it’s safe to bring either. Tap cards or cash tips in pesos are typical. In case of doubt, ask your server; staff speak English and can handle either currency.
Is there an outdoor/open-air setting, and will it be affected by wind or weather?
Yes, The Ledge is entirely open-air on a raised terrace overlooking the beach. You’ll enjoy sea breezes and panoramic sky views. This means the weather directly influences the experience: usually warm sun in the morning and afternoon, with cooling winds at night. It rarely rains in Cabo, but if it were to, the staff would likely pause outdoor service (the kitchen is partly covered by canopies). The twist: because it’s open, it’s best to bring a light jacket or shawl for evening, as coastal winds can pick up after sunset. Hats and sunscreen are recommended by day. Overall, the open setting is a feature – it’s refreshing and scenic – but do plan for typical desert-climate conditions (sun and breeze).
What is the floor layout or seating configuration like?
The Ledge features a single, multi-level patio (principally all on one level but with short risers/sections) built on the ocean cliffs. There is no separate “balcony” – the entire dining area has ocean views. Tables are a mix of two- and four-tops that can be combined for larger parties. There’s also a long communal bench table along the railing. Seating is casual resort style: cushioned chairs, booths, and some lounge benches near the water. There are pergolas above parts and strategically placed shade sails, but much of the patio is exposed to sky. The main floor is slab concrete with decorative tile; the ambiance is breezy. Acoustically, sound from the band travels well but doesn’t echo too much because it’s open. In short, it feels like one big seaside restaurant space. If you need a specific layout (e.g., tables together for a group), let the staff know when booking.
Are pets or smoking allowed at The Ledge?
No, pets (other than service animals) are not allowed inside The Ledge area. This is hotel policy. As for smoking, outdoor smoking is generally permitted on the patio (it’s not a completely smoke-free resort), but there may be designated zones. Since it’s all outdoors, smokers and non-smokers usually coexist comfortably. If you plan to smoke, please do it away from other diners (there are ashtrays outside). If you have allergies or strongly dislike smoke, you might request a table upwind or check with the restaurant on their current smoking rules.
Is there internet or Wi-Fi access at the restaurant?
Yes, Wi-Fi is available in The Ledge area, as it is part of the hotel’s network. The Cape offers complimentary Wi-Fi for guests (www.hyatt.com). You’ll likely find the signal strong on the restaurant patio. You may need to log in with a room key or ask a staff member for the guest password. (If you’re just dining and not staying, the restaurant can typically give you access.) In practice, the connection is good enough to check email or browse menus, but don’t expect high-speed streaming—this is a resort network primarily for email/phone connectivity.
What time should I arrive before a dinner reservation or event?
It’s wise to arrive 10–15 minutes before your reservation time. This allows you to find parking (if self-parking), head to the restaurant entrance, and get seated promptly. On Sundays when brunch includes live music, guests often arrive right at 9:00 AM or slightly early to enjoy the full brunch; the band usually starts at opening time. For evening dinners (especially Thursdays), try to arrive a few minutes early to enjoy the sunset view before it sets. If you’re running late, call ahead – the kitchen does accept late arrivals often, but try not to miss the first courses or entertainment slot. In busy season, arriving early ensures quicker seating.
Are there any insider tips for a better experience at The Ledge?
Sure – here are a few: 1) **Sunset seats:** For the best sunset or arch views, request a patio table near the water’s edge when you make your reservation. 2) **Brunch picks:** The Sunday brunch buffet is popular – try to arrive early before it gets crowded. 3) **Menu must-tries:** Guests rave about the wood-fired churrasco and seafood dishes; also the breakfast eggs Benedict or Mexican chilaquiles are local favorites. 4) **Weather prep:** In summer, sunscreen and hats are a must for daytime visits. 5) **Happy hour:** The Cape often runs a 4–7PM “cocktails on the balcony” happy hour at its Sunken Bar; asking about promos is worthwhile since drink specials may carry over to The Ledge during overlapping hours. 6) **Group minimum:** If you book a large party (6+), note there is a minimum spend – so plan accordingly. 7) **Charging devices:** If you need to charge a phone/tablet, bring a cable – there are no public outlets at your table, only standard bars. These small touches can turn a great meal into an outstanding evening.
