Day Trip to Todos Santos - The Best of the Best

Oystera - Best Brunch

You wouldn’t think it, but the best brunch in town comes from an oyster bar. Chef Poncho Cadena is a fourth-generation chef specializing in Mexican and French cuisine with various influences. The place is known for its creative cuisine. We recommend beet salad, oysters Rockefeller, and of course, oysters. They not only have delicious food but also chic decor and ambiance.

Rancho Corazon - Best Place to Spend the Day

A five-minute walk away from downtown Todos Santos, Rancho Corazon counts with 2 restaurants, a heated infinity pool, a corral, a store, and several event spaces. The might be the perfect place for your destination wedding! The service is spectacular; the place itself, dreamlike; the vibe, immaculate.

La Garita - Best Authentic Baja Food

The place might not much like much, but the food is top notch. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the spot to go. They offer traditional breakfast options, like burritos de machaca. Their coffee, and strawberries with cream come very recommended.

Tequila’s Sunrise Bar & Grill - Best Margaritas

A trip to Mexico is just not complete without margaritas. They have all flavors you could imagine, we recommend Chile Serrano, La Damiana, and Pomegranate. Watch out: They are cash only.

Doce Cuarenta - Best Coffee and Pastries

We’ve mentioned Doce Cuarenta in our Best Coffees in Cabo post. They also have a location in Todos Santos, so it just had to be our top pick to get a coffee. Reminder: their iced Vanilla Chai is perfection.

La Copa Cocina in Todos Santos Inn - Best Drinks and Music

This place is so amazing, it’s even mentioned in Goop. The hotel was built in the 1800s for a sugar baron, so it still holds the ambiance of an hacienda. Enjoy a night out, with the best mixology in town. They are temporarily closed (updated November 27th), but we’re patiently waiting for their doors to open back up and visit them once again.

Jazamango - Best Dinner

Farm-to-table experience curated by renowned Mexican Chef, Javier Plascencia. They have amazing meals that come straight from their garden, like Burrata Salad, Hummus, Zucchini Carpaccio, and more. But the real stars of the show are their main dishes. The Roasted Cauliflower is simply to die for; the braised beef short ribs, fall off the bone; and the Ribeye Prime, cooked to perfection and served with a side of scalloped potatoes. A real must-try while you’re in town.

Hotel California - Best Photo Op

This is a true can’t miss! Everyone has heard the song by the Eagles, but not many know that it’s based on a real place! Stop by, stroll around; the sights are cute, and snap a couple of pics.

Bésame Mucho Bazaar - Best Shopping

They just celebrated their 6th anniversary November 3rd! They have the most amazing jewelry, home section, mystic tchotchkes, clothes, and most anything you could want. You’re sure to find a souvenir for everyone on your list here, especially free spirits.

Where to Park in Cabo

Getting around in Cabo is relatively easy; most places are within walking distance. But if you are lucky enough to have a car to move about places, you might have to find places to park it. I'll share where I would park when going out downtown.

Hotel Bahia Parking $$

Headed to Medano Beach? There's an excellent parking option a block away, right across the street from Casa Dorada. Drop off your car and hit the shores. It's a prime option if you're headed to anything from Sand Bar to The Office.

Puerto Paraiso $

The mall has fairly cheap parking. It's super convenient if you're going to the marina, Luxury Avenue, or even the bars. The walk is no more than 5 minutes to the main drag, but it can feel eternal at the end of the night with heels. (Do not take off your shoes! Besides it being dirty, there could be broken glass; stay safe!)

Cabo Yacht Center Parking $$

It's located on the marina, across the street from El Squid Roe and right next to Dice and Nowhere Bar. This, to me, is the most convenient parking. They have some lumpy flooring, so careful with your ankles!

La Misión $

This is a 24-hour parking lot, though they do make exceptions (no worries, they'll let you know before you pull in.) They're located about a block away from Wachinango's. This is another great option for when you're going clubbing.

Plaza Aramburo Parking $$$

If all you're going to the bar and all you're considering is location, this is the spot for you. It is a little more on the expensive side, but the walk to the bars is the shortest you will find.

Plaza Alamar $$

This parking garage is half a block away from Cabo Coffee Company, a block away from La Dolce (an amazing Italian restaurant 🤤.) This would be your best bet if you're going to Cabo Wabo or Giggling Marlin.

Cultural Pavillion $

They host art exhibitions, ballets, concerts, and musicals. They even host the Cabo Film Festival here, so if you're going to a show, this is the best place to park. But, they have great parking for places like Captain Tony's, Outpost, Land's End Coffee Roaster, or light shopping on the marina's end.

Plaza Embarcadero $$

On the other end of the marina, opposite to Puerto Paraiso, is Plaza Embarcadero. They have shops and restaurants, including Señor Frogs. This is the dock the cruises disembark at, so there's plenty to do and see on this end of the marina as well!

Where to stay in Cabo San Lucas

For some, the hotel isn't the main focus when they're on vacation. Being close to the action is what they look for when booking a room. Luckily, most of the hotels in Cabo have an ocean view; you won't have to compromise a nice room to have a killer location.

Close Walk to Downtown

Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa

It's all about location. This hotel is right on the marina, next to the mall, and a short walk from the heart of downtown. They have a cute palapa pool bar with delicious drinks. Not to mention, their breakfasts are great too! They also have Amura Spa with services like facials, massages, manicures, and much more.

Casa Dorada

This hotel is located on Medano Beach, right next to Mango Deck. Starting with the killer view, this place is so aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention their cleanliness! Their staff is so nice; they make everyone feel welcome and cared for.

Pueblo Bonito

Pueblo Bonito counts with two hotels right next to each other. Both hotels face the beach and have comfy, plushy rooms, great room service, and spectacular views. Pueblo Bonito has a Mediterranean aesthetic going on; it's like Cabo's mini Santorini.

Pueblo Bonito Rosé

If you want to live your pink Barbie fantasy, this is the place for you. Not only is it cute as heck, but they also have killer service and food. They have an impressive gym and rooftop tennis courts. They have a massive bird cage with different cuties.

Hotel Tesoro

Located almost on the other end of the marina, right next to Captain Tony's (with amazing brick oven pizza.) They have a cute rooftop pool with tasty drinks.

Me Cabo

This place is a whole vibe; they have a gorgeous pool that turns into a day club, with DJ's overlooking the water and poolside bottle service. They have Funky Geisha, an oriental restaurant with superb noodles. Corpo Sana is their "wellness temple," as they call it, that we'll mention in our Best Spas in Cabo post.

Corazón

This hotel is right on Medano, a short walk from the mall and marina, but the roof... They have Baja Brewing Co, where you can order an artisanally crafted brew. But their crown jewel is the Rooftop 360, where you can get a gorgeous eyeful of the ocean or a glistening view of the town.

Club Cascadas de Baja

This place feels like a little island village, it's so enjoyable to just walk around the grounds and take in the view. They're located on Medano Beach, but they're pool is amazing as well! They have killer breakfast; that's how I first found out about them.

Hacienda Beach Villas

This is another place I found through food; they have mouthwatering dishes for any meal of the day. They have very cute decor, with hints to our Mexican roots, yet elegant and timeless.

Villa del Arco

This hotel counts with spacious rooms, gourmet food, and my favorite part, a boats shaped restaurant in the pool! The hotel is kid-friendly; they have many splash zones where the little ones can play in the shallow ends of the pool.
