Muchas gracias in advance. We will be in Cabo between noon and 8:00 p.m. on November 2nd. Are there any events going on within that time? TIA

Wife and I going to a cabo resort this week for her bday, wheres the best website to book a roundtrip shuttle thats not too expensive?

Hi all! My partner and I are planning to elope in Cabo San Lucas the weekend of September 17-19, and we want my two daughters (9and 11) there with us. Just the four of us, no big wedding, no guest list. We’re hoping to keep the whole thing (ceremony on beach, photographer, and a nice meal after) under $2,000 total. From what I’ve researched so far, most resort “elopement packages” are priced for two adults and start around $3,500+, so we’re leaning toward booking things separately: an independent officiant, a local photographer for about an hour, and a dinner reservation at a beachfront restaurant instead of a resort’s wedding-dinner upcharge. A few questions for anyone who’s done something similar: ∙ Did you find a photographer or officiant who didn’t mind (or even specialized in) family elopements with kids? ∙ Any recommendations for a beach spot that’s easy to access without paying a resort “beach rental” fee? (Medano Beach seems to be the main public one.) ∙ Roughly what did you pay for photography and an officiant, and did that change because kids were involved? ∙ Anyone else marry in September specifically is the hurricane-season weather/rain a dealbreaker, or was it fine?

Any vendor recommendations, honest budget breakdowns, or “here’s what I wish I’d known” tips are hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone have a suggestion for a nicer dinner in Cabo that won’t break the bank? Looking for a restaurant with nice views and a more upscale feel, but won’t break the bank like Mona Lisa or Cocina Del Mar. It’s for our wedding anniversary but we also don’t want to spend an insane amount of money! Thanks in advance 😊

Headed to RIU Sante Fe early-mid this month. Any advice, recommendation, suggestions welcomed! Two mid twenties women on a girls trip!

Excursion wise - is booking at the hotel a good idea? I’ve seen some travel advisor excursions that look well priced!

Thank you!

I’m planning on going to riu Santa Fe the second week of August. Will it really be that empty? I’m going with the fam but I’m looking to party so I was curious about what the party scene is like and if I should be worried about Cabo not being as packed. Should I also be concerned about the weather?

so this is our 2nd time in Cabos. Last time was 10 years ago

Here's the problem: I am trying to break a 100-peso bill into 20-peso bills, but nowhere has them, including the currency exchange place. I am wondering why. Are they trying to fool me?

I need some 20-peso bills so I can tip the bartenders, servers, or room staff to make things easier. Is everyone expecting us to tip at least 50 pesos now? If I am just getting a drink or two, I am not comfortable tipping 50 pesos each time

any thoughts? thank you

Bringing my nephew to Cabo for some fishing next month. First time going to Cabo. Hoping to get him a trophy fish. Wanted to see if there were any recommendations on the best charters in town. Also on a side note, only fishing for probably 2 days and then thinking about a round of golf. Lots of options online. Recommendations for best golfing experience would appreciated too. Thanks

Me and my wife are going to take a quick trip to Cabo just to get away. I would like to catch a rooster fish then do some sightseeing on one of the days(sea lions, lovers beach, el arco, etc.) I don’t plan on going out too long maybe a few hours because I know the wife will really only want to do the sight seeing part lol. Any recommendations on a company that can accommodate or would it be best to just head to the marina and ask? Thanks in advance for any useful advice!

Aw man, here we go. There was a large party who ate at The Office, in Cabo San Lucas tonight. One large table that sat around 12 women and a second table, similar size, that sat around 12-14 boys. The boys table seemed to be aound the ages of somewhere between 16 years to 18 years.

Well, Cabo is certainly a playground. And sometimes that playgroung can push the limit and very well cross a boundary. The group of boys all made purchases of headbands. These headbands, some can be funny, gross, perverted or absolutely tasteless. Well one of the teen boys was walking around with his headband that read “Fucking Ni**a”.

I’m just so amazed, shocked and disgusted that this kid’s mom was cool with his choice. He walked around, yes drinking a beer, thinking he was the most alive person in town. Where’s the shame?? Fucking Americans feel it’s okay to act like this when they travel. What a shitty mom for not correcting her kid.

And hey, I get it, shame on Cabo for selling this shit in the first place. But that mom needs to fucking wise up. People like her make Americans look bad.

We’re late 50’s/early 60’s coming from the PNW and going to Cabo (staying in the marina area) for a few days next week. We’ve been to PV, Cancun, PDC, in recent years but first trip to Cabo. We’re not into clubs or anything like that (good bar recs for the afternoon/evening are great though) wondering from those who live there/been there a lot ….what are things you’d recommend doing during a short stay? I’m doing research on this sub and otherwise but would like to hear from others here who have BTDT. Anything across the board to make the most of only a few days.

Appreciate any insight!

We’re looking to visit Cabo in November for the first time and would love some recommendations. Kids are 10,11, and 13. Looking for an AI resort close that’s walkable to town. Would love something on the beach and my wife wants there to be a lazy river.

TIA

Visiting Cabo for the first time next week and was looking into a sunset cruise, I tend to get sea sick so would opt for a catamaran instead of a sail boat. I looked into Cabo Adventures (Sunset Gourmet cruise) and Cabo Blue. Please send your recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! My partner and I are looking to rent a jet ski, probably both of us on the same one. I’m not set on a tour specifically but it would be nice to be guided a bit in where to go. Is there any specific company that are recommended? We will stay in August close to medano beach :) Budget between 50 to 100$ ideally

I feel really dumb asking this, but here goes ...

I know you're not supposed to drink tap water in Mexico. I'm staying at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica all-inclusive resort. I understand that the major resorts provide bottled water, and use filtered water for the ice. And even still, some of the nicer spots you can drink the tap water since it will be filtered ( although I don't plan on it - brushing with bottled water and mouth closed in the shower ).

However ... what about the pool? I'm not talking about drinking a glass of pool water. But, I feel like it's inevitable that you get small amounts of water in your mouth/ears/eyes while in the pool. Is this something to be mindful about? Am I way overthinking this, or is it a valid concern?

My fiancé and I are spending 5 nights in Cabo for our mini moon and want to eat at some nice restaurants. So far these are the 5 places that stood out to me after doing research. I’m trying to prioritize good food > views.

1. Farol 16
2. Lumbre in San José
3. Metate
4. Acre in San José
5. Manta

Any suggestions? Is this a good spread?
