If you do not have prearranged pick-up at the airport I would recommend TransVip or Cabo San Lucas Tours, they run about $90 one way to Cabo, make sure and get quote in email. Also you can go out pass all timeshare sharks to taxi stand and get taxi for $80 one way. But the shuttle bus that you buy can take up to 2 hours to get to hotel because of the stops it makes and it does not leave the airport until all people are thru customs. (so make sure you ask how many people your shuttle takes etc. they will lie) But it’s about $15 per person. Whatever you do, do not fall for the timeshare and do not pay round-trip for anything, even if they say you will get it back.

Do not stay too far outside of town because taxi rides will get expensive. You want to be closer to Cabo then San Jose. There are a lot of hotels in Cabo so before booking one always look them up on a map and see where they are located and what kind of swimming beach they have etc. The attached Map will give you an idea where you hotel is compared to town. Try not to stay any farther out of Cabo then the RIU hotel. Any farther the taxis would get to expenses to take back and forth all day.

Timeshare is everywhere so just say no to everyone that wants to give you a good deal. We find unless you really want to buy something its better to just pay the regular price and save your vacation time.
