Headed to Cabo and need recommendations on airport transportation. I will more likely than not be in a condition to drive upon arrival so I'm not planning get a rental.

We are staying at Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos or Riu Palace. Any experience with these two?

We will spend one afternoon and early evening at the joints near the marina. Thanks in advance for the suggestions

I was there last year. We used Tony Baja Services for airport transfers. He also booked us a whale watching cruise that was legit.

We loved our trip, the marina area is nice but can be touristy. We took advice from this board and ate at Los Tres Gallos. Very cool place.

Im sure Houston Gumbo Guy will be along shortly. He has posted some wonderful reviews on Cabo. We loved our time there and would love to go back!

We stayed at the riu 8 years ago. Transfers were free, but the food sucked and getting into the restaurants at night was difficult

We use Tony Baja as others have mentioned. Very reliable.

He’s as hyper as anyone you’ve ever met so prepare your sanity for that. He has other drivers that may pick you up.

But he knows everything about that area and can get you killer deals on all sorts of activities.

His cell is 624-109-9881

It’s nice but dated. If you are going to Cabo, I’d suggest you eat at the places NOT in your hotel.

We ate breakfast at two different locations, once for lunch and once for dinner. I wouldnt recommend any more, you are so close to town, walk out and enjoy the options, as you get hassled by the rental place on the way out.

It's great location the best thing it has going on. You can walk pretty much every where in town and you can walk to the arch.

There is an old section to the resort and a new, as far as accommodations. So I guess it just depends on where you stay. They just redid the pool area a few years ago.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos


I said there about 2yrs ago. It's not bad, but it is diffidently dated. The best restaurant at the resort was the one on the beach. It's close to the marina, which has a several good/great restaurants.

I would also recommended Fish On if you want to fish, and/or Cabo Sail for a sailing charter. We used both and were pleased with both companies.

As far as airport transport we have used Super Shuttle every time in Mexico and never had an issues.
