1. What is the best way to get to Los Milagros from the airport? And how much does it cost?
Really, the best way is to book a car in advance.
Just give Miguel a call on (52) 624 141 6254 Or drop him an email mfc949@gmail.com.
He’s our trusted driver and has been looking after Los Milagros clients for a long time now. He will be happy to organize your airport ride.
A round trip for 1 or 2 persons costs $140 US, while a single trip is $80 US. If you have more than 2 people, it's an additional $20 US per extra person. The trip takes about 40 minutes, and the airport is 30 miles from Los Milagros Hotel.
You could also take the airport shuttle bus for just a few dollars. Or pick up a taxi at the airport.
BUT - the bus stops at most of the resort hotels in the “Cabo corridor, so it can take quite a while. And if you haven’t booked a taxi in advance, you risk paying a lot more than you should…”
2. Can I hire a car in Cabo?
Yes, it’s super easy to hire a car in Cabo. You can pick it up at the airport when you arrive, or get it delivered to the hotel.
We do a lot of business with National Car Hire. You can find them online here
Most of the other international rental companies are at the SJD airport. And you can also find a couple of offices in downtown Cabo. Just around the corner from Los Milagros.
3. Are there any parking facilities at Los Milagros?
Yes, we have secure car parking in the hotel grounds for $10 a night. We only have a few spaces so best to book parking as early as possible.
Or you can park for free on the sidewalk immediately outside the hotel (but only where the curb is painted white, never park where it’s red).
4. Is it best to use dollars or credit cards in Cabo?
You can use both. Almost everywhere - restaurants, bars, shops - accepts US dollars and/or credit cards. And of course, you can use Mexican pesos if you prefer.
5. Is it easy to get cash and change money?
Yes, it’s really easy. You can get cash directly from any ATM machine. Or from any bank as long as you have your passport. We suggest using the bank ATM because they charge less commission.
6. Where are the best places to eat in Cabo?
Well…that‘s kind of a tricky question. There are so many restaurants in Cabo now – everything imaginable from fine dining to family burger bars to amazing local restaurants taco stands…

7. Can you recommend things to do in Cabo?
There is so much to do around Cabo – fishing, golfing, whale watching, surfing, scuba diving, paddle boarding, etc – that we promise you will never be bored! For the best Scuba Diving in Cabo, visit Cabo Deep Blue
But with so many companies offering different services – eco tours, sunset tours, pirate boats, horseback riding, zip line rides, etc – we recommend you have a look online before you arrive.
But perhaps you prefer “living in the moment”. And just want to decide when you get here. That’s fine too. Just make sure you take a walk around the Marina, to compare what’s on offer. (Remember it’s always best book direct if you want to avoid commission).
8. Can you book tours and activities for me?
No. I am afraid we can’t do bookings for tours and activities.
Of course, we will always do our best to answer all your questions and point you in the right direction for bars, restaurants, and activities. But please remember, we are not a tour service operator.
Fortunately, there are lots of good local tour operators. Way too many for us to work with them all. But we can recommend:
For fun boat trips go to Sunrider Tours
For horseriding, donkey safaris, and ATV rides head to Rancho Carisuva
For the best sportfishing in Cabo try Pisces
And for the best Scuba diving, Cabo Deep Blue
