I’m planning a trip to Cabo this fall, any tips from those who have been there before?
I’m going to be there from 9/30-10/2 and would like advice on everything from where to stay to where to go and of course, the must do events. Please, I would like to hear from people who HAVE BEEN THERE and know the area. Also, please advise me on anything you wish someone had told you like “don’t drink the water” etc. would be appreciated. Right now I’m in the planning stage and do not even have a hotel booked yet so advice on which hotels would be best (staff, service, location, location, location) would really help. Also, as always cost is a major consideration so any $$ saving tips will be appreciated as well. FYI I’m low 30’s so I’m looking for more of a party scene than a golf and museums tour.
Been there twice. Not a party-goer, just went to relax. Stayed at the Westin the first time. Great time, very relaxing. Just came back from there a few months ago, this time stayed at the Pueblo Bonito. Even better! Me and the wife were treated like King and Queen. Wonderful scenery, plenty to do. Doesn’t matter which Pueblo Bonito you stay at, I can’t recommend the place highly enough! I can’t wait to go back. (The timeshare presentation is worth it even if you don’t buy, just to get the benefits and to get the tour of the place)(benefits are free breakfast (real breakfast! good food!) and at least $200 dollars off food purchases at any of the Pueblo Bonitos)
btw it’s safe to drink the water at both the Westin and any of the Pueblo Bonito’s there.
A little extra advice: the airport at Cabo: the exit will be lined with what I call “tourist catchers.” If you have reservations for transportation or hotel or activities, these people who “catch” you BEFORE you are actually OUTSIDE of the airport, are not the people you made reservations with nor are they affiliated with whomever you made reservations with! If you made reservations prior to getting to CABO, you must go outside the airport before you will meet with whomever you made your reservations. Don’t worry, if you can’t find your ride to your hotel, then you can always go back into the exit of the airport and the “catchers” will still be more than happy to accomodate you! ![]()
Just a little more info on the Pueblo Bonitos…The “Rose” and the “Blanco” are very busy. If you enjoy crowds and being around people and partying and activities, those two are for you. If you want relaxation with no kids under 16, you will want to stay at the “Pacifica”. If you want a mix, activities with the possibility of getting away from it all, “Sunset Beach” is probably best.
