Cabo San Lucas

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Finisterra. The room itself can be cleaner and the water was brown due to some rusty pipes (got better after we let the water run for a few minutes). But the pool area is gorgeuos. There were 3 pools (2 with volleyball nets) and half dozen of hot tubs and it's open until 11pm. The hotel's private beach is accessible through the pool area and has a nice view of the pacific ocean.

The marina is just a 5-min walk down the hill from the hotel and from there you can walk, take the water taxi, take the bici taxi to just about anywhere. The hotel is situated next to "Pedregal", where the celebrity beach houses are, and the amenities offered by the hotel make you feel like you could be a celebrity too!

The food is AMAZING at Nick-San. We went there our first night at Cabo and had thought of going again before we leave (unfortunately we didn't make it back). My favorite was the homemade gyoza and my boyfriend liked the spicy hand roll. The food was delicate, light, yet full of flavors. Who knew sushi would be good with chipotle sauce?! The food is not cheap ($80USD for the two of us), but it's worth every penny! A must visit at Cabo!

Our hotel concierge recommended "Spin Doctor" by La Princesa Cruises. Honestly I can't tell the difference between the two, and there was the actual "La Princesa Cruise" when we were there, but our boat has about 1/3 less people, which gave us more room to move around and better view. The catamaran leaves from the marina at 12noon and it's about 3 - 3.5 hr tour, although the actualy snorkeling part is less than an hour. On the way back the crew turned up the music while we enjoyed lunch, open bar, and the wave. The crew is fun and very friendly and they have the best salsa in Cabo. I highly recommend the tour.

Although we had Alexander as one of the "to-visit" restaurants on our trip planner, we actually didn't see it as it is nestled in a row of restaurants one after another. Luckily, their "tableside flambe" drew us in. We had their "surf and turf for two" which is 1 lobster and 28oz of steak, freshly prepared at your table side. Considering the amount/quality of food, it is actually a pretty good deal ($65USD). We opted pina colada for two glasses of wine to go with the nice dinner.

The owner Alex was friendly and personally greeted each table. Many of the patrons even asked to have pictures taken with him. The restaurant is right on the marina, so it's also a great place for people watching at night.

Great view of the Pacific Ocean from high up the hill. Bring a book and enjoy a quiet afternoon while sipping 2 for 1 pina colada. (one of the best in town)

Breakfast buffet for $16/person. I only wish I had more time to enjoy the food.
