Such an amazingly beautiful place. Now This is a very small town. You can almost walk anywhere you want to go if you can stand the heat. I love the sun since I don't see it much living in SF.
So, when I first arrived I paid an outragous taxi fair ($20) from one end of town to the other. Once I made a couple of local friends I learned that I could take a trip in a taxi 5 times the distance for 1/4 of the price. Crazy! Once I learned that, everytime I grabed a taxi I asked the amount before going and then I told them No way, and why so much. I told them how much I wanted to pay and sometimes they refused then I just went to the next taxi in line. It really amazed me how stupid they think Americans are. Well, I guess at time we are.
I watched a drunk couple get a Taxi in front of the Buddah bar (I will tell more about that place later) and I walked over to Squid Row. Then that same drunk couple got out of the taxi at Squid Row and paid $20USD. The two places aren't even a block away from one another. That's why I walked.
I suggest you do a little homework and save yourself some money.
Now, I was really shocked to see the racism/classism in Cabo.
My Mexican friends and I went to the Buddah Bar. We sat down and patiently awaited our server who came over not to take our drink order but to let us know if there were other people who wanted our seats we would have to move. He explained that the table was only for bottle service. There was no bottle service set up or any reserved sign when we sat down.
As he walked away we all felt very uncomfortable. He never offered to take our order. And we sat there wondering if we should just leave. We didn't leave until 5 min later our server brought over a reserved sign and placed it on our table. At that point we left.
They were so rude and not at all welcoming to us.
At the hotel I asked what was the deal with the Buddah Bar. And the guy behind the desk just kindly said it was a place for "Rich Old Guys who are on some much drugs they think they're young" And their paid escorts....
WOW, I couldn't believe he was so straight forward with the description.
He then advised us to a wonderful spot with live music Arriba Tequilla. It is upstairs from the resturant Quesadillas.
The next night we went there and danced all night. We had so much fun and the server actualy took our order :)
Cabo is Fun but you really have to search for the right spot for you.
