Flying into Cabo tomorrow for a week.Recs?

First and foremost, after you are walking through the airport past customs, WALK ALL THE WAY OUTSIDE... the timeshare sharks are relentless and annoying AF. Have your transportation details ready to go and meet your guy under their tent...don't listen to what the people tell you as you are walking out.

Also, stop at a bank (NOT AT THE AIRPORT) and withdraw cash in pesos from an ATM. Restaurants/Bars will kill you with USD FX conversion if you pay in dollars (the includes credit cards). Some restaurants will let you pay in pesos on your credit card, this is OK because your bank will use the current market FX rate.

NIGHTLIFE - We don't go to the clubs so will let someone else chime in...



Mount Solmar


Balandra Beach

Good call on the office, it’s a great spot for breakfast. The beef machaca and chicken Chilaquiles are top notch.

In fact, if you wanna go see the arches, this restaurant has their own yellow boat that takes you out there

If you take your receipt from breakfast and show it to the guy on the boat I want to say it’a something like $10 round-trip per person ….which is a fraction of the cost of you use one of the other small boats
