Los Cabos is the ultimate Mexican party town. It has everything you can think of for a perfect vacation: great food, awesome beaches, outdoor sports and non-stop nightlife. Yet the best news about Los Cabos is that it can be affordable for people other than trustafarians. Here's how to do it.
Cheap Sleep
Stay at a Whore House: The three-story building that is now the Cabo Inn Hotel once had the distinction of being the town's most frequented bordello. These days, its popularity is based on its reputation as the best budget hotel in Los Cabos. Check out the rates: The Cabo Inn Hotel is right in the heart of town, so you don't need to waste money on expensive taxi rides.
Make a note that although you can reserve your room by credit card, you will need to pay in cold hard cash, but at these prices, it's worth it to keep your plastic safely in your pocket. The hotel management will give you filtered water to fill up your water bottle, so there's no need to worry about Montezuma's Revenge! If you like fishing, the Cabo Inn Hotel supplies a freezer for your catch, as well as an outdoor barbeque to cook it. In fact, many of the restaurants in Los Cabos will do the same. This can save you a few bucks.
Or Not: The Cabo Inn Hotel is not the only affordable lodging in town. Check out Club Cabos: With rates starting at $45 a night, you can't afford not to go. If you can't get a sitter for the pooch, take him along! Club Cabos is pet friendly. If you're on a really tight budget, the Cabo Inn Hotel also has a campground. The cost: $10 a person.
Romance on a Budget: Want to show the GF that you're a sensitive guy? The Mexican Inn has definite "chick appeal."
Each room is named after a "beautiful Mexican senorita." It's a chick thing. She will love it. At rates between $5 and $65 nightly, so will you!

Take Out at The Taquerias
The Taquerias are a long-standing tradition in Los Cabos. While they might be the types of establishments you would avoid like the plague in the big cities, in Los Cabos, they are actually quite good. Even better, the food is quite cheap. The only caveat is that some of them have rather quirky schedules. Some might open in the morning, and close around lunchtime. Here is a link to some of the Los Cabos Taquerias.
