The TLDR version: Cabo is cool. Highly recommend.
The Full Report: If you're going to Cabo, don't expect to do a whole lot. This is the type of vacation where you stay at an all inclusive resort and you sit by the pool or beach and then eat and drink and sleep. That's pretty much it. That being said, it was fucking awesome.
I stayed at the Paradisus Los Cabos and it was pretty sweet. Here's a pic of the pool:
First things first, after you check in, they give you this sweet bracelet that looks like something some 20-year-old would buy at American Eagle:
Maybe the best part of going to Cabo was booking a van to take you from the airport to your hotel. If for no other reason they send entertaining emails such as this:
Paradisus Los Cabos had some sort of exclusive upgrade package where no kids were allowed. We didn't spring for that, but I'm assuming that's where the hot tub was. The pool looked sweet at night, but may as well of had a "no poor people allowed" sign outside of it:
Here's a picture of a woman swimming in the ocean and peeing. I know she peed because I verified after she got out that she did so.
Here's the Hilton next door. I walked over there to use the ATM, and by comparison, that resort was dogshit compared to the Paradisus Los Cabos. It wasn't all inclusive, the pool was fucking tiny, and the beach chairs were all jammed up next to one another. Fuck that place, do yourself a favor and don't stay there if you go to Cabo.
Speaking of the ATM, you should bring enough American cash to last you for the trip. Even though the resort is all inclusive, it's courteous to leave tips. Cabo is so touristy that USD is accepted, even if you head downtown. That leaves no reason to get pesos either. The reason you should bring cash is the ATM at the Hilton couldn't dispense USD and when I took some out I got ass-raped in service fees.
Also - keep your fucking immigration forms. You need that shit to get your boarding pass out of the country. If you don't, you'll have to pay $30 at the airport to get a new one. Total scam. I'm not speaking from my experience, but am speaking about someone I travelled with who will not be named.
That's about it. Here's another glory shot of the beach.
