Great trip to Cabo for our third anniversary, stayed at the beautiful Playa Grande resort.

From our balcony
The Playa Grande Resort was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They helped us book activities and recommended very good restaurants and bars to visit.

We stayed in a studio in building B, which had a great view of the ocean and also you where able to see the entire resort. The room itself was immaculate including ceramic tile throughout and very nice decorations and a great king-size bed.

The resort had five or six different pools with a waterfall and two giant hot tubs all overlooking the Pacific Ocean. While at the pool the service was great and also happy hour is everday between 3:30 and 5:30pm with two-for-one drinks. One other nice thing about the resort is that it is protected from solicitors, this allows you to just sit back and relax.

Cabo Wabo Cantina

Restaurant

This restaurant and bar is owned by Sammy Hagar. Although he was not their during our visit, he does make frequent trips to Cabo. The food was good and reasonably priced. With the dance club and live band downstairs, you are able to stay there for the entire evening.

The crew on the ship made this trip great. The cruise leaves from the marina at 10:30am and returns at 2:30pm. As you are leaving the marina, the bar opens and the party begins. As you follow the coast towards Santa Maria Bay, the crew cranks up the music and there is nothing but fun to be had during this excursion. Once you reach the bay (which takes about 45-50 minutes), you are given brief instructions and are able to snorkel along the rocks and reef or just go up to the beach. The snorkeling was fabulous, with clear water, plenty of fish, and colorful reefs (be sure to take an underwater camera -- disposable Fuji works great). I believe we were there for approximately one hour, then a light lunch is served and the drinking continues as you start heading for Land’s End, Pelican's Rock, and Lover's Beach. Once you reach Lover's Beach, you are given the option to get in the water and cool off (and believe me, after drinking for the past 3 hours, the water felt great). The crew members made one more stop and showed off their diving skills from the top of Pelican's Rock, which I was not about to try considering I had been drinking nonstop the entire trip. This trip is well worth the time and money.
