We are staying at Cabo Azul next month. Would you recommend renting a car? If not, how do you arrange transportation to resort? Are there grocery stores close by? Any other recommendations as this is our first time. Do we need to exchange money before our trip or will they take dollars? TIA
Hi Judy ,
There is a lot of good Cabo information in the TUG Mexican Forum .
1) Some resorts arrange incoming transportation - I would call the front desk and ask what they recommend .
2) Cabs are cheap and easy to access . / Many people do not rent cars
The main reason to rent a car is if your doing a lot of exploring beyond the 2 main resort
cities in the Cabo area .
3) First trip - skip renting a car / or just rent for a day or 2 - should you decide to explore .
<added- giest1223 in the subsequent post has detailed information about car rentals . / my info was general & is based on this being a first time visit >
4) USD will work / you can exchange money easily if you need pesos . The resort will do it as well .
The rate will be a little lower - but insignificant on $100. for just having some pesos in your wallet .
Grocery stores and tourist restaurants will take your credit card . Smaller local stores are often cash
but will always take USD if necessary .
5) There will be a TIMESHARE SHARK TANK -as you exit airport customs . Do not engage in conversation with anyone in that zone . I would suggest you say - “no speak english “ to anyone there .
Keep walking and continue to the resort transportation or cab area .
