Cabo is the craziest city we have visited by far minus the naked beach in Jamaica.

Tour guy: Are you guys married:

Osh and El: yessss

Tour guy: To each other?

Osh and El: yah uh.

Tour guy: Kidding amigo, it’s a Cabo joke.



You’ve just got to put your “Just say no” cap on the second you land to Mexico. Everyone is trying to sell tours, activities, time shares and cocaine. Taxi is about $30 to $40 a person from the airport to the hotel. We passed on that offer and took the shuttle for $16 per person. The only difference in that choice is taxi is private and takes you straight to your hotel but shuttle stops at two markets for snacks and beer.



On the tour bus there was a time share/tour guide type guy. Trying to get you to sit on a time share and offers a bunch of free stuff if you sit on a meeting. I SAY DO IT. It’s a waste of only about 3 hours of your day. But it will save you about $200-300 in tours.



We did it the first day we got there. Got a free breakfast, they offered to give 2 free tours, and a tequila bottle if we saw their time share. We went in they picked us up for free, we ate they talked we said NO all the way thru to the end. AND got our vouchers for "Couples parasailing" retail 50 per person for only 15minutes, and "Jungle boat/booze cruise" all you can drink party boat for I think it was 3 or 4 hours long I DON"T RMEMEBER. retail 45 per person. VERY FUN. and the tequila better quality tasting than I thought.



To our surprise it was pretty safe walking outside of our resort and to the city. From our place to their downtown was about a 20 minute walk so we walked a lot! You can also take the taxi which come out to $6 - 8 a couple each time(but you have to negotiate and haggle). We liked walking. Their mall had cheaper souvenirs than the flea markets. If you’re planning on bringing back stuff, shop from the mall. Unless you want to buy fake Prada glasses then I suggest you going to the flea markets. In the flea market have a set price in mind that you want to spend on a certain item.



I wanted to buy 2 fake imitation glasses for $20. but the guy was asking $32 at first. I started walking away and they called me back and sold 2 for $20.



The prices are much more flexible than we gave them credit for.



Their beach is 10ft deep after 2 steps into the ocean! So good for snorkeling when the waves are calm.



They don’t card you anywhere for anything. No real age limit.



Lastly, if you’re vacationing with children please put blindfolds on while waiting for your flight in the airport because they had adult movies showing on their TV screen everywhere.
