Your Cabo family vacation should be a magical time that you can enjoy together. You want to experience all that Cabo has to offer and build memories that will last a lifetime. Cabo is a great place to do exactly that!
With these 7 tips, you will learn some tricks to help you plan your vacation and have a really great time! Check them out below.
1. Location Matters
A lot of people will book their rooms based on the best deals that they can find, but those rooms may not always be the best fit. You can absolutely book what works for your budget and your needs, but there may be other details to consider.
Where your hotel or rental is located could make a huge difference in the convenience of the things you do, the travel needed to get to activities, and more. If you’re going to Cabo, there is nothing wrong with finding a great deal. But can you find a deal that is in an ideal spot and meets your needs?
Every resort, hotel, or rental property will be unique. Some will offer services and amenities that others do not. And some will be off the beaten path, making it more challenging to get to certain things.
What type of location are you looking for? Consider the things you plan to do and what you want available directly at your resort. Find options within your budget that meet your needs. And look for great deals, but think about the trade-offs for settling for something less than what you really want!
2. Transportation
You may need to plan ahead for transportation, especially to and from the resort and airport. Don’t just show up at the airport and assume you will be able to find transportation. This isn’t a good plan and will likely leave you frustrated before your trip even really starts.
Having transportation already arranged will help you move faster past the timeshare reps in Cabo who flock to the airports and try to reel you in with the offer of a ride.
There are several different transportation options. You might schedule a taxi or a shuttle, your resort may have transport options, or you could even rent a car.
Waiting until the last minute means taking the chance of not having a ride.
3. Don’t Drink the Water
While Cabo is designed to be tourist-friendly, you have to remember you are still traveling to another country. Your body isn’t going to be used to the tap water that they have here, and drinking it could make you sick or upset your stomach.
When it comes to drinking water, stick to bottled water. When you visit restaurants and bars, they typically use filtered water for their guests, so don’t worry too much about these locations or having ice in your drinks.
You might also check into what your hotel uses to know whether they have filtered water or if you need to use bottled at the hotel. Brushing your teeth is fine; just avoid swallowing the tap water.
4. Safety
Safety is not typically an issue in Cabo, but it’s still a good idea to be aware and familiar with safety tips. Safety comes in many forms. For example, when you’re on the beach, wear sunscreen!
But in reality, most people are wondering about personal safety. Cabo is relatively safe with low crime rates. The general advice is not to do anything to make yourself a target. Be aware of your surroundings when you’re wandering around. Make an effort not to be flashy or wear expensive jewelry. Walk in pairs or groups.
Just be smart and cautious and everything should be fine. Cabo is a safe location.
5. Money, Money, Money, Money!
You’re probably going to come to Cabo with some cash and maybe your credit cards ready to spend for your family vacation. We recommend not trying to exchange money locally or at the airport, as fees may be higher.
In Cabo, you can typically use cards, Mexican pesos, or the US dollar at almost all venues. With the US dollar, you might pay slightly more because of exchange rates, but it is widely used in the area.
6. Book Activities Ahead
While you don’t have to plan out every moment of your trips and activities, you do want to plan your major events ahead of time. We recommend booking your top activities ahead of time and then you can fill in or make decisions when you’re there for free time.
You may not know everything you want to do, and that’s ok. But some of the most popular activities can fill up quickly during the busy season. If you’re considering popular activities, go ahead and book your times and then plan other things around them.
7. Enjoy the Area
You should spend some of your time simply enjoying Cabo and not planning activities for every minute of your trip. Many of the beaches are free, and you should absolutely explore the downtown area as well.
You may or may not come to Cabo again. Take time to explore the area so you can really see all that Cabo has to offer. Take in the sights, enjoy a few activities, take tons of pictures, and simply absorb the experience. Make memories that will last a lifetime.
