Trip report,

Stayed at Barcelo Gran Faro - Cabos in San Jose del Cabo. 2.5/5?

Not bad, wouldn't stay again. Resort wasn't bad, food was typical buffet food, a la carte were disappointing.

No free wifi. And I feel San Jose Del Cabos is more for artsy/slow/older/families that pretty much want to stay within the resorts.

Cabos San Lucas - younger, walk alot, want the option to party or check out more excursions/Bargain.

hmmm, either if you're with your GF or Boys, I say stay near downtown Cabos San Lucas. San Jose Del Cabo was 20-30 minutes by bus, 37 peso or 30-40 USD by taxi (depending on your bargaining skills).

The last bus to CSL was 11pm? so if you're partying late, only option is Taxi.

Next time, I'd definitely just do an Airbnb near the Marina.

Places to party.check out = happy ending, squid roe, Wabo Cabo.

Highlight was chileno beach - snorkeling. You could also bus near to Santa Maria reefs.

Overall, I had fun, but definitely would have been more so staying downtown.

Anyways, Cabos is HOT HOT HOT. A hat and shit ton of sunscreen is necessary.

--------

Ultimately, I think all inclusives aren't my thing. And the sheer wastefulness. Plastic bottles and cups for all the drinks. I know being a bit hypocritical, as I'm not the most resourceful.

Just reflecting on plastics being on the news, got me thinking about all those coffee pods, plastic bottles, plastic cups, from Asia to Mexico. Man... we dump alot of crap.
