don't leave home without it

I took a hastily-arranged last minute trip to Cabos, not having had any vacations in 20 years -- and not having much money. I knew we needed expert advice fast, so, trusting Fodor's, we got this book. We ate exclusively at restaurants recommended by this book (we had a car rental.) We made sure we hit both the most expensive place recommended by the book and the least expensive joint that they recommended. Both were equally highlights of the trip. The rest of the time, we ate at recommended places that were towards the lower end of the price scale. We were never disappointed! At Macambo's and Ahorcado, I even took pictures of the food. These were the kinds of places that you would never find by wandering around the tourist area -- let's just say they were "out of the way" and a few a little out of the comfort zone of some tourists. Are we ever glad we took that book! A piece of advice -- take more cash, in small bills, than you think you'll need. If you need emergency medical care like I did (not Montezuma's Revenge, BTW) you'll have to pay hundreds in cash. Far fewer places take credit cards than do in the US. And by all means, take this book. They know what they're talking about.

Los Cabos Guide very helpful

We went to Cabo in February 2006 and found this guide very, very helpful. I don't know what other guides are available, but this one is packed with accurate info (if just slightly out of date as it is a year or two old). It omits a couple of new restaurants that have recently opened but is otherwise very accurate. The recommendations of activities, hotels, places to eat and things to see were spot-on. I think it's worth getting if, like us, you do not know the area. Also, it is small and lightweight and you can just stick it in your pocket or purse. We went to a few restaurants we never would have found but for this guide, and generally they were better than what our hotel had recommeded.

Great Gift

I gave this to my brother who is going on his Honeymoon to Cabo. A great resource to bring along, especially if you cannot access the internet.

Perfect companion for Cabo

This book was a wonderful companion in Cabo San Lucas. The recommendations were right on target, the writing is enjoyable and entertaining, while providing useful information at the same time. I highly recommend this book as it made my vacation more enjoyable!

A Natural Hat Trick

In 2001, I purchased the pocket guide to Puerto Vallarta. I stayed at Paradise Village (I also bought a Timeshare because of the experience, enough said) and Fodors was on the mark from begining to end. In 2002 I purchased Fodor's pocket guide to Aruba. My girlfriend and I stayed at the Wyndham Hotel and Fodor's was right on the money. The place was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the beach was heaven on Earth. Because of that as well as all the inside information on where to go and what to do, I purchased the pocket guide for Los Cabos in 2003. Score, that is the hat trick! We stayed at the Presidente International (the only all-inclusive resort) and it was magnificant. The service and view was beautiful. It listed some of the best places to eat and plenty of things to do (Definately do the Horseback riding on the beach and the sunset cruise.) They really know what they are doing. I highly recommend their pocket guides for all vacations. The books tell you exactly where to go and what to do to make your vacations memorable and beautiful. Three in a row has to account for something.
