This vacation was one of the most lavish things that my husband and I have done in our entire marriage and lives. We wanted a dream, once in a lifetime vacation, a lot of memories, something that the Los Cabos area was able to provide.

Thing to Do
Notes
Didn't get a name from him or the horse. He gave us horses that competed with each other and got some good laughs out of us while we were out of control

Fantastic Location, right in Marina corner or Playa Medano, Wave Runners a must!
Thing to Do
Notes
There are lots of rules, but it is still lots of fun!!

$80 USD per person per hour for single rider - worth it though! Training is given for first timers too, and some mild humiliation ... a lot of fun

They are not lying about the vendors -- and time share people. You can take a water taxi from end to end, but go out and ask the driver yourself, dont take ride through people on shore, they are most likely timeshare

Just as beautiful as the pictures! See my pictures :)

On jetskis you can't really get all that close to it, but glass bottom boat tour takes you right to it; but not through it :(

We only paid $20 per person for this tour through Baja Explorer in our hotel, and it included the free ride too and from Cabo San Lucas (approx. $70 in a taxi) The best captain on the boat, took us places the other boats wouldn't dare go -- a lot of fun.

Offers 2 pick up times, 1pm or 5pm -- cheaper than a taxi plus you get the boat ride for free -- and a lot of information too on the geography and wildlife too

My husband and I spent 7 days in Los Cabos (Apr. 14-21, 2010).
We stayed at the Riu Santa Fe that we booked through BOOKIT.COM. The place is huge and sets next to the Riu Palace. Sante Fe has over 800 rooms and is bigger than any place we ever stayed. Nice accomodations but NO ELEVATORS so if you have a health issue you must ask for a first floor room or a room in building 7 (has elevators there). We had asked to get moved and it never happened. This resort is right where you need to be - much activity - a short taxi ride to downtown and the Puerto Paraiso Mall, and the marina, Hard Rock Cafe, Cabo Wabo, etc. Its worth a morning ride to town. We also took a sunset cruise on the TROPICAT (a large catamaran) and have wonderful photos of the Arch (famous EL ARCO) and the mountains with a disappearing sun.
Go to Bookit.com and book it there... I suggest you put in the comments section that you want a first floor room or a room in bldg. 7.
No ifs ands or buts! Total trip for the 7 days was $2,300.00 You will be able to pay later through BILL ME LATER if you make your reservations through bookit.com - and the Book It man is in your lobby every day til 1:00 p.m. to help you with cruises, etc. Glad we went but we both prefer the Caribbean than the Mexican hospitality. Next year - ARUBA!

Cabo is wonderful. We went the first time in January 02. Was nice but did have some rain and a little cool for me. We did buy a time share at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. Went back in October -- great weather. Another time in March..coldest March they ever had so we were told. We go around the first and second week of October. 08 will be our fifth trip to Cabo. Pueblo Bonito is a great place but stand your ground about your accomodations. Once they hook you into a timeshare and you go back for your stay they will place you away from the beach and what they actually showed you. I'm sure they all do that.
