Los Cabos, Mexico - Hacienda del Mar

I went to Los Cabos, Mexico from 11/16/2007 to 11/24/2007. This is the first of a series of posts with my reviews, notes and commentaries.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar in the Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose. The resort was beautiful. The landscape, view and amenities matched my ideal image of what a trip to a Mexican resort should be. However, you were essentially stranded at the resort because of its location (10 minutes and $20 USD from town), and everything there came with a price. Drinks at the pool/bars were $88 pesos (the exchange rate was about 10.9:1) a piece. The cheapest breakfast at any of the restaurants was $160 pesos. A hamburger at the 'appetizer' lunch time restaurant was also $160 pesos. I didn't even pay attention to what dinner prices were.

All in all it was a great place to stay and relax. Because we had a car for part of the week and a kitchen in our room we were able to go to Costco and buy all of the food, beer and tequila we needed at a reasonable rate. But next time I would like to stay in town to experience the night life and be able to go to different restaurants and shops. (There was absolutely no night life at the Hacienda del Mar; everything shut down at 5 pm.)
