As a born and raised in Los Cabos you are totally right about the timeshare people at the airport. The sad thing is that even the airport authorities allow them to harass all the tourists arriving.

Thank you for sharing your local perspective on this. It's always valuable to hear from those who are born and raised in the area. It's unfortunate when a few negative experiences or interactions overshadow the many beautiful and positive aspects of a place. Your advice to "just smile and ignore" is a simple yet effective strategy for many tourists. It's my hope that with enough feedback and awareness, improvements can be made for both the local community and the visitors. Safe travels and thanks again for your insight.

@TravelDroner Год назад

Absolutely! It's crucial to remember that experiences can vary widely. While some people may have found certain timeshare presentations pushy or lengthy, others might have had genuinely informative and even enjoyable interactions. Thanks for highlighting that not all presentations are problematic. It's a good reminder for travelers to approach situations with an open mind while still being cautious. Your feedback offers a more balanced view for those considering attending such presentations. Safe travels!

Reserve a car. They cost a little more than a taxi but chances are the car will be a newer Suburban, most likely they will provide you with some free beers, if you want to stop somewhere briefly to pick up a few supplies they will wait for you. The shuttle bus is a total bummer. They stop at every hotel and resort. You might get lucky and be at the front of all that or you could be on that bus for a long time.

@bar1350 Год назад

Also, if you rent a car, when you go to fill up all the gas stations are full service. They have a couple of scams here as well. First, make sure the pumps are set to zero before they start pumping gas into your car. Second, when you go to pay, sometimes they will try to switch out the money you gave them. For example, let's say you gave the service guy a 500-peso bill for gas. What he'll try to do when you hand them the money is quickly switch it out for a 50-peso bill and say you only gave them 50 pesos instead of 500 pesos. I think that happened to me on my first trip to Cabo. The next time we went to Cabo, we were aware of the scam and caught a service guy trying to do it. He didn't put up a fight when we called him out on it.

@TravelDroner Год назад

Thank you for sharing this crucial insight. It's disheartening to hear that such scams exist, especially in popular tourist destinations. Being vigilant and aware of such tricks can undoubtedly save visitors from such unpleasant experiences. Your comment serves as an essential alert for other travelers who might be renting cars and refueling in Cabo San Lucas. Always good to double-check and stay cautious. Hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable, and you had some positive takeaways from Cabo as well. Safe travels!

@maxrey4055 Год назад

I would add the renting a car is more expensive when you add on the insurance but I just consider it part of the cost. If you do get in a accident using your credit card insurance is a big pain and yes they will pressure you to buy their insurance but lately I've just been getting it all online with Hertz Mexico online so at least I know how much I have to pay without any pressure at the desk. Still cheaper than taxis and way more convenient even for local driving if you like to venture out daily . I paid $400 bucks for 7 days for a medium sized SUV

The time share sales representatives are all liars. Especially in Pueblo Bonito. I bought a timeshare in PB and we absolutely love going there. But nothing they have told us has come true. We were told that all the money that we have purchased for the time share would be able to use for owning real estate on the property. This was a complete lie. When we wanted to buy real estate in PB, they told us hat we could only use 5%. We were infuriated! Don’t fall for the lies. You are better off just saying no

I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience in Cabo San Lucas. Situations like this are incredibly frustrating and can certainly tarnish your impression of a destination.

I recommend always asking for a receipt and checking it thoroughly before leaving the store, especially if you're unfamiliar. I hope the rest of your cruise was enjoyable and that this experience doesn't discourage you from traveling again. Thank you for sharing your experience; it serves as a valuable warning for others to be cautious.

Do not rent a car from Hertz company we booked a car rental from the airport before our flight and it was a complete scam they make you pay $60 upfront to reserve a vehicle and when you get there they will make you pay almost $600-$1000 on an additional insurance that is mandatory and if you want to cancel the car they keep that $60.

In my 20 years of Cabo vacationing experience if approached to go on a TOUR of a resort, only go for CASH, U.S. never go for any amount less than at least 200.00 bucks. And if you represent the Mayan Palace make sure you don’t go for less than 400.00 bucks. I’ve gotten that much at least 3 times. Squeeze those turds for as much as you can get out of them. To include transportation to and from your home resort. And make sure they put all promises on the invitation. I’ve never had problems getting what I was promised as long as it was on the invitation, and no more than 20 bucks to reserve you appointment.

@TravelDroner 2 года назад

One thing I would add is, never buy any activities from hotels they are a rip-off "if you don't have all-inclusive". There are activities booths all around and you can haggle to get better deals you can save over half of what you would have spent, and you help out the locals instead of the scummy resorts.

@@kristenkachelmeier6808 it will be cheaper if you buy it from a OPC aka a timeshare salesman because you can haggle to get the price down they normally, they can drop it down by like 30% and still make a little money, so if you know that you can take advantage. Make sure you don't let them trick you into going to a presentation, and stay away from the guys at the airport, they will scam you. It's hard because in order to save money you have to trust someone to book you for the right activity, and not everyone who sells them is honest. If you want to make sure you get what you pay for you can book at the resort or from a trusted OPC that works for a resort but out of house like in a store or something you can find both that sell activities most of them can't scam you because you can get them in trouble if you go back and complain to the store managers. Also, it is not cheaper to book directly with the companies, they will always charge you full price no matter what. You can find deals online, but you probably won't and even if you do, you won't know it because everyone says they have deals but just charge full price and say it's on sale even if it's not. If you book at resort you will not get deals.

i used to work as a time share person..yes most are deceiving, but i always said the truth.i always told them the truth i can get you discounts on tours and other stuff but you have to attend a 75 min talk about time share 90% went for it...why?, becuase it saves them money thats why..i even told them how much i get per couples and they would still go for it..if you are on vacation you are ready to spend hell of money..but they is always the timeshare trick that makes you save money..sometimes they would get the tours for free....

@artemisp.folglemeyer 2 года назад

Never been to a 75 minute time share offer. Three hours seems to be the norm, and I have been to four of them. Grand Mayan was the worst.

@TravelDroner Год назад

Thank you for sharing your insider perspective. It's enlightening to hear from someone who's been on the other side of the timeshare presentations. It's true that if presented transparently and honestly, many people might see the value in attending such presentations for the discounts and benefits, especially when on a vacation where expenses can quickly add up. It's all about setting clear expectations and being forthright with potential attendees. Your approach of honesty seems like a win-win for both sides. Thanks for contributing to a balanced understanding of the timeshare industry. Safe travels and endeavors in whatever you pursue next!

@TravelDroner Год назад

I appreciate your input. It seems experiences with timeshare presentations can vary greatly. It's unfortunate that some go beyond the promised duration of 90min, taking up a significant portion of vacation time. Your feedback is helpful for others to set expectations and potentially reconsider if faced with a similar offer. I hope that despite these lengthy presentations, you had some positive moments during your trips. Thanks for sharing your experience and helping fellow travelers be more informed. Safe travels!

I’ve been going there for years. The people inside the airport gets paid a cut if you attend a timeshare. The invitation they give you to attend presentation has their name on it. I just don’t like how they pretend to be the ones shutting you when in fact the company you prepaid is out side terminal.

I think....Travel Droner it's a bit butt hurt......but with 3.2 million turists in los cabos per year, we can't please everyone!!

@TravelDroner Год назад

Thanks for offering a different perspective. It's true that many representatives at the airport work for legitimate resorts, and attending timeshare presentations can indeed lead to discounts on various activities in exchange to getting hooked on a 30 year vacation club/timeshare contract. It's essential for travelers to be informed and aware, discerning between legitimate offers and potential high-pressure sales tactics. Everyone's experience varies, and it's great to have a balanced discussion on the topic. As with all things, research and understanding beforehand can lead to a more positive experience. Safe travels!

@TravelDroner Год назад

I appreciate your perspective! My intent isn't to express hurt or dissatisfaction. Instead, I aim to inform potential visitors about various experiences they might encounter in Los Cabos. This way, they can be prepared and make informed decisions during their stay.

Time-share tours can certainly have their perks, and if you go in informed and with set boundaries, they can be a way to save on some travel expenses. Your comment provides a balanced perspective for others considering similar offers. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you enjoyed your time with the rental car and exploring the area. Safe travels!

Los Cabos used to be a great holiday destination prior to the year 2000. It has become infested with hustlers, scammers, ner-do-wells all offering Newport Beach prices. We live north of CSL so it is very disappointing to witness this ever expanding shit show. So aside of airport pick-ups, we just avoid it as much as possible. Costco is no longer an option due to the insane corridor traffic. Very sad.

@TravelDroner 9 месяцев назад

It's a tough situation when the charm and tranquility of a destination are overshadowed by these kinds of issues,same here in Cancun, where I am located. It's understandable why you'd want to avoid the area as much as possible now. Your comment highlights an important issue that many popular tourist destinations face over time. It's a delicate balance between growth, tourism, and maintaining the authentic character that originally drew people in. Hopefully, some effective measures can be put in place to manage these problems and restore some of Los Cabos' former appeal for residents and visitors alike. Thank you for sharing your perspective; it's an important reminder of the impacts of rapid tourism development.

I did use a jet ski but they never said anything about scratches on it so I didn't get scammed for any damages that I didn't owe on, I did take part in something that appeared to be a timeshare but apparently they didn't have enough representatives to do the tour and I still got the free offers that they offered with the timeshare so I didn't end up wasting hours of my time they did say that it would be a two hour process to go through the timeshare or related presentation but as it turned out that I wasn't given the tour and I just got the free parasail and discounted jet skis as well as free breakfast at the resort.

I agree with renting local. Try to find a well reviewed local place online and make sure you take a THOROUGH video of the car. This advice is pretty consistent in all the places I have rented cars in Mexico. You get quotes one low price online, only to find that this is not even close to the price when you arrive. I say “thorough” because we almost missed our flight messing around with this local rental company outside of Chetumal Airport. They were literally pulling at the hub caps and showing how they were pulled away from the tire a bit and trying to say it’s our fault. My boyfriend often makes the mistake of thinking that since he’s a cool, Spanish speaking Mexican dude that no one will try to rip him off, just white people like me, lol. But he was proven wrong in Chetumal, and I knew from the get-go that those eager to help us outside the airport were not 100% legit. But what do I know… I’m just a white woman in Mexico. 🙄 Yes, but I also do my research and know that just because someone looks/sounds like me and is nice ri me doesn’t mean they won’t rip me off.

It's great to hear about your positive experiences with credit card payments in Cabo. Local insight like yours is invaluable for setting realistic expectations for visitors. While it's essential to always be cautious with personal information anywhere in the world, it's heartening to know that credit card transactions have been smooth for you in the area. Thanks for highlighting the beauty and safety of Cabo beyond the timeshare challenges. Cheers to many more enjoyable years in such a stunning place! Safe travels and adventures to all.

For a location like Cabo San Lucas, $72 round-trip for two people is actually quite competitive, especially if it's a reliable and convenient service. Enjoy your trip to Cabo! Safe travels!

Avoid Cabo, it’s a dump. Every 10 seconds we were asked by locals to buy something. It was exhausting just saying ‘no gracias’ all day. There are so many other places in the world to go. I will never go back to Cabo, there’s nothing to see.

@JorgeGarza2988 2 года назад

My apologies if you had a terrible experience and, I am so sorry that you find my hometown a dump, but let me assure you that not all the local people are annoying trying to sell you everything, we are more hardworking people that care about our city that those who you describe. I just beg that you can find other places where you can be in peace and relax without all the hustle and bustle you suffered in Cabo San Lucas. Sincerely.

You must have been hanging out in touristy areas. If u go where the locals go, you'll only get tiered of saying "Buenos días" to all the friendly people you pass on the street.

@@JorgeGarza2988 no te disculpes, si el no puede soportar, los cómo el dijo, que no venga. Yo en cambio fui y con mucho gusto les decía no gracias cuando era necesario, yo entiendo que la raza tiene familia y pues esas son cosas que suceden mientras uno viaja. Ten un buen día muchacho. Cuando pueda, volveré a su Hermoso San Lucas, aún me toca ver Playa Balandra

. Walk right thru the airport, take a cab, a Van outside, a little expensive but no stops except for you, if lucky may find others to share costs. Grab a beer before leaving airport as it's bout a half hour drive to downtown. If you eat and drink do as the Mexicans do (when in Rome...) and if you want to do the jet skis, diving, off roading etc arrange at your hotel. If at Medano Beach, 2 things, there is a guy who sells tamales on the beach about twice a week, they're GOOD!, and for jewelry things Juan, an older silver haired guy (been there forever , ask for him) he is honest. Don't buy pot on the beach, (small amounts are legal} bring from home!, Cabo is safe and like most everywhere : use your head!!. $2k to 4k pesos is a good number unless spending a lot shopping (buy you Cabo Wabo souveniers at the flea markets and save!. At the back of Cabo Wabo there is a plaza, the resuarant has excellent cheap mexican food and the nearby patio bar (outside) is one of my favorite places. (M & Co.) Too, the medical facilities are better than our U.S. hospitals and a hell of a lot cheaper. If there for a longer time rent a car (max insurance!!) and do the loop of Toto Santos and La Paz, worth it. Wife and I have stood in Tiennamen Square, been in a flood in Venezia, I almost died (respitory infection) in Belize, blah, blah, blah, and Cabo remains our favorite place since the mid 90's and have a time share on Medano Bech and love it. Just enjoy and don't be an "ugly Americasn!"

I will be there with my young family of 5. What's your preference for a 7 day stay for transportation?

@kesslermontijo6304 2 года назад

@@chucknorris2266 dependent, if want to stay mostly in Cabo proper just take the ubiquitous cabs (Ford Vans), 5 people for sure! If up on the lengthy “corridor” or hotel near San Jose del Cabo or wanting too see Todo Santos

@kesslermontijo6304 2 года назад

Oops! : do the “loop”” La Paz” rent a car, ((neither all that great for kids! and better for a 2 week stay. Medano Beach is probably the best, safest beach for kids. Staff at your hotel can answer any questions in English. With kids take an afternoon cruise (not the “Sunset tequila cruises” but “take one”if you can ditch the kids!!!) Dramamine a good idea for kids. No matter what you do or see it will be memorable. Make certain a phone has International access, in case. Take pictures!!! Again Avoid the time share sellers! Just adamantly day “NO!” and walk away(fast!)they are relentless.

Ummm… I do those time share presentations from the airport every time I go to Cabo. It usually takes an hour. I’ll get a good meal and drinks. And about $400 worth excursions. Once I even got them to give me $300 cash. This isn’t a scam at all

@TravelDroner Год назад

I understand that you have had positive experiences with timeshare presentations, but it's important to consider the broader perspective. While some individuals may benefit from the incentives offered during these presentations, it's worth noting that the sales tactics used in the timeshare industry have raised concerns and criticism from many consumers. Many people feel that time-share presentations can be misleading, high-pressure, and designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The promise of free meals, drinks, and excursions can often overshadow the long-term financial commitment and potential limitations associated with timeshare ownership, especially if it involves floating time instead of fixed weeks. Additionally, the difficulty of checking in and the limited availability of desirable dates are frequent complaints. It's important to approach these presentations with caution and thoroughly research the terms and conditions before making any decisions. As with any major financial commitment, consulting with a trusted financial advisor or lawyer is advisable to fully understand the implications of entering into a timeshare agreement.

How many pesos do you recommend we take out of the ATM in a mexican bank for a 7 day trip for souvenir, food and entertainment. I would hate to have too much money in cash at once.

@TravelDroner 2 года назад

The local ATM's have usually a daily limit of a few hundred dollars depending on your bank or card issuer it also depends on your lifestyle and what you are planning to do with those pesos

@yescocina 2 года назад
