$2500? You had the wrong travel agent. 😂 I’m going next month for 5 days 4 nights all inclusive for $1450 Hotel and flight.

Just a heads up regarding the beaches-if you stay in Medano Beach (downtown area) near the Office restaurant, the water there is clear and swimmable with flat conditions yearound

[josemartin]

Damn that's crazy. I paid $273 round-trip for my flight to Cabo out of Houston Hobby with an advanced purchase of about 6 weeks. My stay for 10 days was less than $400 via AIRBNB. I fly out on Oct. 31 but I appreciate these tips. Thank you.

Some tips were accurate (props on safety), but as a local, you were incorrect about a few things.
1) Most importantly, there are several swimmable beaches in Cabo. The Pacific side is dangerous, but along the Sea of Cortez (where all the action is) everyone is in the water - including small children.
2) Transportation from the airport can be very affordable. First, there is a shuttle bus that is dirt cheap (maybe not the most pleasant option). Or, you can hire a private driver at several different price points. Also, Uber picks up at the OXO just near the airport exit. Uber is very affordable in Cabo.
3) I would not advice anyone to use those shitty dollar ATM machines on the marina; they screw you over on fees. Look for machines that our branded by a major bank like Citibanamex, BBVA, HBC, or Scotiabank. Some are better than others, but many give out dollars or pesos. Don’t be afraid of pesos, either. You can always exchange/deposit them at your bank if you have extra when you return home. Of note, many places only take cash and NEVER HAVE CHANGE, so break down large bills so you have lots of small bills for tipping and such.
4) Marine layer is very seasonal. I hardly ever see a marine layer.

The "no beach swimming" only applies to the Pacific side. The beaches on the Sea of Cortez side are definitely ok to swim in.

We go to Cabo for a month every year. Hear are some more tips..
1. DO NOT use the cashola ATM machines by the marina or anywhere else. we had a friend who had a lot if extra $ taken out of his bank account when he did! only use bank atms
2. There are so many Great beaches on the Sea of Cortez side! some with excellent snorlking, like Chilleno beach, BTW all the beaches in Baja Sur are open to the public
3. Do consider renting condo from VRBO or air BNB.. you can get great deals and be in a community. Some have their own bars and restaurants
4. Best sushi: Tiki Bar at the marina, Best tacos: Asi Asado on the corridor just a bit south east of Walmart, and local taco places too

Those rough waters and no swimming are a deal killer for me. I prefer the Eastern Caribbean, where many beaches are as clear and calm as a swimming pool. Plus, all the hills and small mountains create amazing views. My last trip was to St Thomas USVI and St John - both amazing. Stayed at Ritz, but they have a new Westin opening very soon too.

I’m going in December and my airfare wasn’t bad I just continued to check the rates and was a little more flexible with my travel dates and it fit my budget. Resort was a little higher than last year however that’s pretty much everywhere you go. I’m looking forward to going! I would recommend everyone traveling out of the US to enroll in STEP, Smart Travel Enrollment program which is the State Dept’s 😊program to keep you abreast of safety issues and emergencies when traveling. Happy Traveling folks!

Absolutely love Cabo and SJDC. We rented a car at airport, drove north to LA Paz....highways are amazing, coast road bumpy but fun ( we rented a 4 wheel drive Jeep). We stayed at Riu & Los Tesoro at marina. Tons of great local restaurants off the beaten path that are budget friendly. We can't wait to get back. The beach waves facing lands end are ferocious...but there are many spots along the corridor between the Cabos where swimming and snorkeling is possible. Highly recommended this destination 👌👍 I can't imagine going anywhere other than Mexico now that we have discovered it. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.

This dude helped ALOT! I got to Cabo tomorrow and I’m staying at one of the places he featured in here. Great video & very insightful on the beaches

[bbustin]

Flying out of Vegas to Cabo is more expensive. Those in the know, cross from SD to Tijuana airport through border express for 35.00. No crowds. Direct into the airport. Save a massive amount of expense. But the hotels are another matter 😂

[christinelinnea]

I stayed at Le Blanc in March and it was glorious! My cousin and I are pool people, so the no swimming in the ocean wasn't a big deal. LOVE the weather in Cabo! Way less humidity than other Mexican cities. I also loved spending the day in San Jose del Cabo. Super authentic with cobblestone streets. Very few peddlers and great restaurants and shops. We felt very safe there. I'm heading to Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya in January. Looking forward to experience a new place and a new brand for me.

Thanks for sharing. I would prefer an awesome beach over a nice pool any day

[alexbanks]

Another option for transportation from Airport is using a private service to pick you up. It is typically $150 round trip but includes a stop a store for groceries/beers. It is nice to have a big van prefilled with beers picking you up. Regarding beaches there are areas that are swimmable along with lovers beach. Or just take a day trip to Todos Santos and stop at Cerritos Beach which is one of the best experiences we had when there.

[steventravels]

You are absolutely correct about it being more expensive to visit. To add on to that, make sure to purchase your plane tickets in advance a few months before you actually go. I ended up spending $650 in business class one way to Cabo, $400 in economy from Cabo and a copay of 15, 000 AA miles to upgrade to business class on the way back home. Also, do your research on all inclusive resorts you wanna stay at. Sometimes you can get good deals depending on when you go.

[breannaborunda]

Sorry you didn’t get to experience the beautiful swimmable beaches in Cabo but the no swimming allowed only applies to some resorts that are facing the pacific other than that there is tons of beaches to swim in

[rhondag]

You are so right about the beaches! We were unaware of this and the hotel had us sign a contract that we would not go in the water.

[northwoodsgrills]

I have been to Cabo 6 times and never paid no more then $600 for my flight from Minnesota

[utvcreations]

I could not disagree more with the comments on cost and swimmable beaches. My family has gone to Cabo every year for the last 11 years, most recently 10 days in August, and hotel and flights for 2 staying at the Sandos Finesterra which is beautiful, was $2800.

Also, no, you can’t swim on the Pacific side, but the majority of Medano Beach is absolutely swimmable.

I'm from Argentina and trying to figure out how to migrate to Cabo San Lucas. Thanks for sharing your experience! And to the locals cualquier info que me puedan compartir les agradeceré infinitamente 😍
