Thanks for the tips.
My best vacation is when I don't have to drive. I could just relax either at the beach or pool.
I am staying at the Riu Palace. I was told I can hop from one Riu to another. There are three.
All inclusive and includes roundtrip transportation to airport to hotel.
Thanks

Good info. We've been to Cabo twice but only for a few hours each on a cruise stop but we're flying there in 2 days for a week long stay at the Westin. Also renting a car through Cactus. Looking forward to it and thanks for a few excursion ideas.
Awesome! Hope you have an amazing time!!
This is such great information! Planning a girls trip in a few months and this is exact info. we needed. Thanks so much for taking the time to share!
So glad it was helpful! Hope you have an amazing time 🙂
@@ScarsThread you deleted my comment, haha, okay, good luck with ur channel.
Bring a man please. Don’t be a victim
We used Cactus as well and they were great and fairly priced.
Yup! We would totally use it again
Thank you so much....very informative video. We never been there, but would like to visit in the near future.😊
it is such a beautiful place! hope you get to visit soon :)
@@ScarsThread We are planning a trip for the first week of June, will see
We went to Los Cabo’s twice last year. We like San Jose more than San Lucas. Cactus rentals was also who we booked. JW Marriott was really nice.
I liked san jose so much more too! And JW Marriot looks like a dreamm
Awesome!!
Thanks!! 😊
Can you please let us know what is the name of the first beach you mentioned : Jayleno beach is that right????
Thanks
@@peternguyen5385 Chileno Beach!
Wonderful tips!!! Thanks for posting .. curious about the pest situation.. are there mosquitos at the beach or while traveling inland?
Hi! Glad you found the video helpful 😊 when we were there in October there were no mosquitos, and im usually the one always gets bit!
Fun Facts: the divorce beach area is not ONLY accessible by boat. Many things you hear or are told in Cabo are lies. These people were just duped. You can walk to that beach from a side area. No one openly tells you this as the boats to beach are about $10 USD, the guys outside the mall will charge you more then people inside the mall, maybe vice versa depending on the day, key thing is, ask price and pretend ur not even really interested. I seen people walk to it, leave it in person and on CZcams. Personally I took the boat it’s way faster obviously and it’s a nice boat ride, not a rip off really. Don’t swim on divorce beach by the way, good change you could die. Warning the other side is nice but plenty of flies and shit. At least when I was there.
Dam.. you deserve more subs
Thank you 🥰
Cabo has their own water desalination plant.
Thanks for the tips! Do they have uber or taxi around?
Yes they do! Im not sure if they have uber at the airport though
besides the japanese restaurant is everything else buffet style food at marquis?
Yes! There are a total of 5 restaurants plus a special buffet style dinner every night.
Great video! Just wondering, did you buy CDW (collision damage waiver) or did you go with Credit Card provided CDW? Thanks!
Thanks! Unfortunately, we thought it be best to buy the CDW, and thats what we did. CC coverage seemed like there would be alot of hassle if things went south!
@@ScarsThread thank you so much! I also think it's best to get the additional cdw!
no problem!! hope you have a great time!
do we need to reserve the tours or classes before the trip or can we reserve them when we get to Cabo?
Hi, you can do either! We found that booking the excursions at Cabo were a little cheaper, and you're also able to haggle a little. I would recommend this if you have some flexibility with time.
This was our first international trip together since all the craziness, and it did not disappoint! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
If you pay with a travel credit card car, rental insurance is already covered saving you more money.
What about the ice in the drinks ?
Ice is generally fine. We had no problems and always had ice with our drinks!
what all inclusive resort is best for cabo?
we've only been to one, so I can't say which one is the best, but the one we stayed at- The Marquis was pretty nice! I realized though all inclusive is not really my thing
Did they ask for deposit to rent car and if so how much
I dont remember 100%, but i dont think they did!
hi guys my wife and i just saw some of your videos around the world traveling i we think you are a sophisticated travelers the way you tackle of the defination of traveling you got it history museums food walking and knowing the cities you are on thats is sophisticated i wiish you woud it go to san miguel de allende guanajuato guadalajara even mexico city you woudl it bring some sophistication to the city.... well thank you for the videos NOW MIM GOING TO GET BUSY WATCHING THE REST OF YOUR VIDEOS HAPPY 2024 M WRITING THIS TO YOU 3 YEARS LATER LOL HA HA HA IM A MAN FROM THE FUTURE HA HA
Was the car rental $160 a day or for the whole trip ?
Whole trip!
Where do you suggest converting your money?
The cheapest is probably at the bank in the states, but you might have to order ahead of time. We usually exchange at the airport just out of convenience but there is a service fee!
San Jorge casa de cambio. Two locations, that I've used in San Jose, one south end of downtown, west side. The other just west of the McDs at La Comer. There are also locations in CSL but I haven't used those. Do a search. Great rates. No extra fees. Only issue is you aren't allowed to exchange more than a couple $100 at a time. Sometimes because they are "out", but mostly to avoid getting in trouble for aiding money laundering.
And you'll need your passport
Rental car… for how long?
Our whole trip! Cactus Rental provided us with free shuttle transport to and from the airport.
@@ScarsThread you rented the car for a week or how long?
5 days
160 what? Dollars? Pesos? Bitcoin?
LOL 160 USD dollars
Everyone’s an expert, there are over 100 videos claiming the same thing.
Do not! Under any circumstances go with anybody who offers you free stuff at the airport.
Book your ALL inclusive with roundtrip transportation.
Do yourself a favor and avoid Cabo San Lucas.
It used tyo be a great place to visit.Not anymore. If you want a REAL Mexican experience you won't get it here.
Over priced hotels, condos, and food. Wall to wall hotels on the beach.
Hustlers, scammers, drug dealers, all kinds of shady people out there.
So many other places to go in Mexico to have a MUCH better time for a lot less.
