We just loved our stay @ el nido, the rooms where very nice and the complementary breakfast was hands down, the BEST FOOD in town. Honestly I couldn’t believe what a deal we got at this place, and the innkeepers where very helpful on recommending places to go around the city. When we first arrived to the place, it seemed like a regular building of the area, but when the front gates opened, we literally where transported into a totally new environment, everything was beautiful, and we felt like we were in a Hacienda like in the movies, it had the fountains, the Jacuzzis, all the exotic plants you can imagine… even the floor was beautiful!! We paid 100 a day, and it was like having a villa all for ourselves, since we where only 3 couples in the whole place. This very nice people from Canada went fishing and cooked their catch in the grill by the patio, and invited all of us over for dinner, since they had a good day out in the water. All the local attractions where only a few minutes walking from us, and we also tried that famous Mi Casa restaurant since it was only 2 blocks away from us, and I must admit, they had killer margaritas. My only regret was booking only 4 nights at this place, we had reservations to use my father’s time share in a resort before our stay in El Nido… We enjoyed very much our stay and will definitely return, next year.

I went on my first cruise at the end of July and had a blast. I got to go with two of my best friends. Time was spent lounging on the Lido Deck, swimming, eating at the many buffets, having photo shoots on the deck, dressing up for dinner every night, karaoke, and FUN fun FUN!! We all cannot wait to go back again! Yay Carnival Cruises! We truly had so much fun. It was a first time cruise for the three of us. One morning we had breakfast and spoke of how rad it would be, if we were to see whales.. and then we walked out to the deck and there they were!! At least three of them. We could see them swimming along and blowing out air. It was pretty neat. We also got to see Dolphins... a ton of them! They played in our wake. We never made it to the clubs, but we did make it to a lot of the other activities, like name that song. I thought for sure I would win and claim my golden ship trophy, but some man won and I was sad. Of course I did karaoke! So fun! We joined the dance party on the Lido deck. We lusted after our older table mate. His name was Joe and he was verrrry attractive. We are sad to be back and we cannot wait to go on another cruise! Maybe to Jamaica or Alaska! Who knows!

We loved this beach, and it definitely had the best snorkeling in Cabo. Our innkeeper highly recommended this spot, and made some reservations for a snorkel tour in a boat. The boat dropped us off in front of the bay and provided life jackets and fins, then we wondered around this rock formation which apparently was the sea life hang out spot, there where fish of all different colors and sizes! I even saw a small turtle!! My only regret is not bringing a waterproof camera… so don’t repeat my mistake and bring one!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

The Dolphin Swim Express is a fantastic opportunity to do the classic Swim with the Dolphin interactive program and have much of the remainder of the day to participate in an additional excursion, go shopping and to discover the traditional Mexican flavors of charming Puerto Vallarta!

A quick transfer from the dock to Sea Life Park Vallarta by Dolphin Discovery gets you to the Park first before your cruise mates and directly to the fun and excitement of a dolphin swim adventure for the entire family. Photos and DVD will be made as you do the world famous dolphin kiss, the pectoral tow across the surface of the water and other fun and exciting interactive moments. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase at snack bars throughout the park.

It is recommended that guests wear a swimsuit under clothing and bring a towel and waterproof camera. Souvenirs, photos and DVD's are available for purchase at Sea Life Park.

This was my second time swimming with the dolphins. My first time at this facility. The first time was in Ixtapa Mexico and it was amazing but this facility in Cabo was even better. The trainer talked to us and told us about the dolphins. The dolphins themselves just amaze me. They are so smart. They move through the water with such speed and amazing grace. We were able to be pulled by holding onto the dorsal fins.  This was my second time swimming with the dolphins and I am still amazed by them. It was a little pricey but it is one of those things that you cannot go and do just any day. The next step would be being trainer for the day. A friend that traveled with us said that next year when we return she is going to be a trainer for the day. I'm sure that also will be amazing. I cannot wait to return!!! If you are considering swimming with the dolphins... do it! You wont regret it.

This hotel was amazing! There were several pools and a view from every room. Staff very friendly. The hotel is on a hill but they have little shuttles to take you up and down the hill to different parts of the hotel. We will be returning next year to this hotel!

Lovvvved it! We went here November 2006. All inclusive is the way to go! The hotel is very pretty, and it's huge. The pictures on-line, look exactly wut the hotel looks like in person. We went parasailing, which I would recommend to everyone. It's a great view. The only thing is, if you decide to parasail, the staff told us it would be a 15 minute walk up the beach to the rocks, when it really took us a little over an hour to get there. Take a cab! The hotel's right on the beach, so it's easy access. You just can't swim in the water, as they say when you walk out, it just drops. So the waves come crashing, as we found out the first night. We went on the beach towards the water, and were just walking around. Next thing you know, there's a big wave coming for us, and we took off running, and it still got us! I would recommend to everyone to stay here. I wanna go back!

I’ve stayed at the Hotel Mar de Cortez a handful of times and have never been disappointed. The hotel is situated in the middle of the city and is near many of the local attractions, restaurants, grocery stores and bars. Such as Cabo Wabo, the Giggling Marlin, Squid Roe etc… The beach is also fairly near. As for the actual hotel, the prices are very reasonable, the rooms are clean and nice, and the crowd that typically stays there are very friendly and outgoing. When requesting a room, ask for a Terrace room, it’s a little more expensive but much nicer. Also they have a restaurant on site that has the best breakfast deal in Cabo, for $1.99 you get eggs, potatoes, and toast/w home made jam! There fresh squeezed orange juice is also amazing. If you want more information about the hotel or the area, just shoot me a message.

It was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. Getting on the plane and to the cruise terminal was relatively easy, despite the turbulence which made my upgrade to first class rather pointless, as the flight attendants were seated for the entire flight. I was rather surprised at how organized and easy flowing the cruise terminal was, and I was on the ship within about an hour of landing in San Diego. Of course, the feeding begins, and I got some lunch before I went to my room. The room was small but enough for one person. I got unpacked and settled in, then off to the late dinner at 8:30. I have grown used to the late dinner on these cruises, which is fun. I was apparently seated at a singles table, the first night there were 4 of us sitting at a table for 10, and we had some good conversation and made friends with each other throughout dinner. It was nice. The show on the first night was basically a welcome aboard show, some dancing, a comedian, and meeting the cruise director.

Friday was a sea day. I basically hung out, relaxed, read a little, and this was also the day that we had the scavenger hunt. I ran into one of my dinner mates at the hunt and we teamed up with another lady to have the required / recommended number of team-mates. The scavenger hunt was 2 parts, half questions about the ship and the crew, and half items we had to find and bring to the hunt. They gave us about 20 minutes and then they gave everybody a score. WE were the winning team for quite some time, but at the end a team came up with 3 more points than us, so we didn't win. We did get points for our red team, though. Friday was formal night, so we had a nice dinner, of course Lobster! It was nice to get dressed up and eat expensive food. lol. The Friday night show was the comedian Tommy Drake. www.tommydrake.com He was very funny. He did the after dinner show on Friday and then the midnight show on Sunday, which was r-rated. That was even funnier, in my opinion.

Saturday was spent in Cabo San Lucas. I signed up for the Land's End and Beach club excursion in the morning, and the parasailing in the afternoon. Since Cabo is a tender dock, we all met in the lounge at 8:30 to get to the dock and off on the excursions by 9. First was the boat going around Land's End.  I really enjoyed that part of the morning excursion. After we got off the boat, we got on a bus that went out to a beach in front of a timeshare hotel. I had to decline the customary many people walking by selling anything from hats and tshirts to ceramic items and mexican blankets. A timeshare salesman stopped by and tried to get me to go on the tour of the hotel behind us but I got hot before he came back again and was able to get off the beach and back into town without buying anything. Lunch was at the Cabo Wabo cantina. I got a burrito which probably was the biggest burrito I have seen in my life, and ate about half of it. Then as I was walking back out to the pier to get on the boat for the parasailing, a guy got me to buy a bracelet. It started at 20, and by the time I was done, I had gotten down to 5. And it turns out, it's real silver. So I did good with that.. lol. Then we got on the boat to go parasailing. Nobody wanted to go first, so I did. It was just as much fun as I remember it being in Hawaii, and I am definitely not opposed to doing that again. One of the ladies on the boat took some pictures of me, but I haven't emailed her yet to get them. The show that night was nice, mostly singing and dancing.

Sunday was another sea day, getting packed, taking a nap to see the midnight show and still be awake at 6:30 to get off the ship. I had some lunch, and watched Ratatouille in my room in the afternoon. The comedian was at midnight, very very funny. I am hoping to see him again sometime soon. I found out that he was booked at the Tempe Improv but had to cancel at the last minute, so hopefully he will be re-scheduling that.

The flight home was uneventful, I got home earlier than I thought, and it was overall a very nice and relaxing trip.

Riu Palace All Inclusive Hotel, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico The hotel was great. Very big and spacious. It looks just like the photos on the web site and was so much fun. The pools were great, the swim up bars were fun, the entertainment and people were great. Went jet skiing and it was great fun. You can go right out to los arcos and see the seal lion colony. Took the Fiesta Cabaret boat cruise and it was a lot of fun. It was a 3 hour boat ride, for about $50, you saw a lot of sites, danced, ate dinner, saw a show and did some more dancing. All drinks included. We were going to originally do the jungle boat booze cruise, but it was a bunch of mexican teenagers, so we left that and took the fiesta cabaret. I will definitely stay at other Riu Hotels based on my stay in Cabo.

haven't composed one yet

If you like Murano glass, in Cabo San Lucas they do similar work.  It is very good and not as expensive.

We also went to a place called Cacti world, where they have all kind of cactus and related plants, it is very pretty.

Super después de tanto estres, decepciones y demás no hubo nada mejor que unas vacaciones en Los Cabos en compañía de Tavo, Mary, y Yeya... muy padre!!!

I've been to Cabo two seperate times in the past three months. A week stay Spring Break, and a week stay in the middle of June. I was so disappointed. I went with a group of friends both times. First of all, Cabo is no different from other non-American countries apart from the fact that Cabo is trashy, smells bad, the food is not trustworthy, and the water and ice cubes are completly hazardous to your health. Oh and did I mention that they don't give you a fair an exchange rate, ever. People only go there to get drunk because in the US you have to be 21, so the majority of the people there are little kids, 19 or younger. Maybe I'm being biased from an awful experience, but I really can't see what is so spectacular about Cabo. I really thought there was more to it. Anyways, my tip or advice. From what I had to learn from is: Do not leave your wallet in your back pocket and do not walk to your room by yourself. I had a guy steal my money (all my trips money in that wallet, credit cards, ID, social security). I chased after him for like a mile, to an alley where a whole bunch of vatos were. I yelled for someone to get my wallet back and I'll pay them $50. Someone got it for me. I got it back. I gave him $50. I got lucky.

day 1 - arrived in cabos, found place to stay and headed back out to the town, shopping and sightseeing. there are some great places to shop, like the flea market and Puerto paraiso. Had some marlin tacos (first time ever!!)

day 2- rented a car and headed over to Todos santos. Visited the Hotel california but sadly didnt get to hear the band play. lunched on some carnitas and had a beer. continued on to La paz and walked along the malecon with a Michoacana ice cream. visited the zocalo and attended a bit of mass, then headed back to cabo. went to the beach at night with a friend and eventually got back to the hotel at midnight

day 3 - headed over to san jose del cabo for a day at the beach. sadly the waves were too ferocious for swimming and I just ended up heading back to san lucas. not before I made friends with a great guy from cancun who sold me a pkg for a sunset cruise later that evening. the sunset cruise was fabulous! for only 30 bucks, you got dinner, free drinks all night and a 3 hour cruise to see the famous los arcos. the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic and they played a medley of songs for all ages and stages. to say I had a ball would be an understatement

day 4 - walked to playa medano and had breakfast at a little cafe on the beach. afterwards, just relaxed underneath a palapa and then went for a swim. the water is fantasic for swimming or snorkelling. amazing clarity and no big waves. caught a bus to the airport and arrived back in Toluca suntanned and tired but really really happy
