Tipping

The #1 random factor it’s best to know is tipping in Cabo San Lucas is predicted when good service is supplied to you, particularly in locations the place you sit down and obtain desk service.  Taxis, Uber, excursions, and massages, to say just a few, all “anticipate” an excellent tip.  A median tip in Cabo is usually 10-20% of the full invoice.  Suppose you encounter subpar service, tip nearer to 10%.  Likewise, when you expertise wonderful service, a 15 – 20% tip is inspired.

English is spoken extra in Cabo San Lucas than I anticipated.  Most individuals on the airport, inns, or resorts will communicate reasonable to wonderful English.  Each restaurant could have serving employees who speaks English, there are many tour guides, and even most distributors round downtown communicate English normally, very effectively.

After saying all this, no, you don’t must know Spanish when you plan a trip in and round Baja California Sur.  I encourage you to be taught and use the most typical phrases, hola, gracias, buen dia, to call just a few.  Locals are very pleased with their tradition, not in contrast to how we really feel about our homeland.  They are going to be pleased to supply help in conversations, particularly seeing that we try to make use of their language.

When you plan to move off the crushed path a little bit bit for mountaineering or exploring smaller cities, you’ll encounter much less English.  However even then, there may be normally somebody who will perceive you and have the opportunity that can assist you in damaged English.

I’ve discovered that many of the employees in locations like Walmart, Residence Depot, Costco, and grocery shops don’t communicate English or at the very least little or no and should not comfy doing so.

The very best useful resource that I nonetheless use on daily basis is Google Translate.  You possibly can scan printed phrases for translation, transcribe or use the dialog characteristic.  I’d say this app in your cellphone is a lifesaver.  Nevertheless, you will have Wi-Fi or knowledge to run this.  I do contact on mobile phone service beneath.

My quest to be fluent in Spanish is ongoing.  I’m studying increasingly on daily basis however nonetheless not conversationally fluent.

If you’re from Canada or the US and have a cellphone contract, it’s best to name them earlier than coming to Mexico.  Your supplier ought to be capable to add-on to your cellphone plan or pay the prolonged each day price when wanted.

You possibly can nonetheless use your cellphone’s Wi-Fi to get Ubers or look issues up when you don’t have knowledge.  Most eating places could have this accessible to your use as a visitor.  Watch out to not rack up roaming charges!

Whereas driving in Los Cabos could sound daunting, it’s surprisingly easy and might open up a brand new aspect of Cabo to you.  Whilst you would possibly marvel whether it is secure to drive in Los Cabos, you’ll discover it simpler than you anticipate and safer than you’ll have thought.  A number of rental automobiles can be found on the airport, however if you wish to lease for a few days throughout your keep, you may also purchase one within the downtown space and even prepare one via your us in case your staying at one in all our Trip Leases.

Los Cabos has a lot to supply outdoors of your resort.  I extremely suggest getting on the market and having fun with the small cities and exquisite seashores off the crushed path!
