Perfect Girlfriend’s Getaway

I recently visited Cabo San Lucas and it was the perfect 4-day, 3-night girlfriends’ getaway . . . and here’s why!

Our flight out of Houston to Los Cabos Airport cost just $236.60 round trip on United Airlines, Tuesday – Friday. We booked round trip transport from the airport to our hotel in advance on transbaja.com for just $36. While waiting for my 2 friends to join me, I lined up some activities, signing us all up for a massage on the beach, an ATV ride, also on the beach, and a “booze cruise” for only $75, not $75 each, but $75 in total, which is amazing.

Our hotel reservations were at the Fairfield Inn, 3 girls to a room. The hotel is not on the beach, but just a 5-min drive or a 15-min walk to the sand. As soon as we dropped off our bags, we hit the town . . . so our first day in Cabo was devoted to shopping and clubbing.

We headed to the Office, which is the perfect place to hang out, mingle with the locals, check out vendors and eat great food. We got a table right on the sand under an umbrella, just inches away from the water. I ordered enchiladas with chips and guacamole and the best margarita ever! On Thursdays they put on a Mexican fiesta, which you won’t want to miss.

If you’re in the mood for American food, try Doggy Style, our favorite for great homemade hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries, especially the chili cheese fries and of course milk shakes. We kept going back, with each meal being tastier than the last.

We bought stuff at variety of pop-up stands along the beach and also made our way to the Plaza Bonita Shopping Mall. The mall is packed with tourists from all parts of the world, so that means restaurants specializing in every type of cuisine, not to mention the nightclubs.

Our favorite club in Cabo was El Squid Roe, a nightclub and restaurant all in one, taking up a full three floors. It’s one of the most popular clubs in town with tons of people dancing on the open-air dance floor, which is on the main level. Plenty of patrons table-dance as well, totally lost in the music. You can find El Squid Roe right across from the Hard Rock Café.

On the second day we woke up and enjoyed breakfast overlooking the beach, then we laid out at the pool. Later on, we headed back to the beach for the best massage EVER right on the sand. There simply is no better way to relax in the sun!

We then made our way back to the hotel to get ready for our Sunset Cruise on Cabo Escape, which included unlimited food and drinks. What a great evening filled with fantastic music, food and drinks enjoyed by a diverse group of people, all there to have fun. The drinks were just right and we all had a great cruise on the water.

On our third and final full day in Cabo, we enjoyed Cactus ATVs. I had lined this package up ahead of time, which included round trip transport to the ATV Park from our hotel. We paid a $15 entry fee plus $40 for insurance, but it was all well worth it. We really enjoyed this beach activity.

All in all I’d recommend Cabo to anyone that is looking to have fun without breaking the bank.
