Regan here, feeling refreshed, relaxed, and motivated to start planning my next trip to Cabo!!
My husband, Daniel, and I have made it a tradition to try to get away together for our anniversary each year. Even if it's just a weekend stay-cation, we always try to do something and I love it!
This year we booked a trip to Cabo and it was the perfect getaway for us. We left baby Cal with my parents (which was HARD), and spent 5 days in Mexican paradise ;)
We are currently saving for baby #2 (more on that later), so we didn't have a very big budget to spend on this year's trip. Introducing your new best friend for booking your next vacation...COSTCO TRAVEL.
You're welcome in advance.
I couldn't believe how many of the people I've told about this have never heard of Costco Travel, so I knew I needed to #sharethegoodness.
It's basically just a bunch of awesome deals on travel packages.
was part of one of Costco's featured vacation packages at the time when we booked our trip (they feature certain packages when they have really good deals), and it included flights and a $300 Costco Cash Card. We stayed at a Secrets resort in Cancun on our honeymoon and LOVED the resort (it's all-inclusive), so we went ahead and booked our trip to Cabo.
We LOVED Cabo. My husband and I both decided we like Cabo better than Cancun. It's a quicker flight, and we just felt like the food and service was better quality. I will say that the blue water and white sand beaches are better in Cancun, and one bummer about our resort was that the beach this time of year is not swimmable because the waves are too big. BUT, overall, we had a great experience in Cabo.

Since our resort was all-inclusive (meaning unlimited food and drinks, all. day. long.), we only left the resort twice. This was perfect for us, and just the relaxing trip that we had envisioned. We hung at the pool for hours, took long walks on the beach, sipped (virgin) pina coladas, and ate unlimited amounts of chips & guac and the most delicious chicken quesadillas. It was perfection.
The views at the resort were incredible. There was a "party pool" (what we called it) and a quiet pool. We stayed at the quiet pool which was pretty deserted most of the time and had the most gorgeous vanishing edge with an amazing view of the beach. Although the weather was SO hot, we felt like it was a great time to go to Cabo because the resort wasn't very crowded (this is also probably why we got such a great price). And we stayed in the water all day anyways, so the heat didn't bother us!

We booked a snorkel excursion and explored Cabo San Lucas one day, which was really fun. We booked it the day before just through the company at our resort, and probably could have shopped around a little more for a better deal, but had a great experience and felt like we got a decent price for everything it included.
A shuttle picked us up, took us to the marina in Cabo San Lucas, and we took a glass-bottom boat out to see the Cabo Arch. We explored the pretty rock formations, then got to get out and snorkel. We snorkeled for about an hour and then got dropped off at Lover's Beach and spent about a half hour there. The water was so pretty and warm.
Another cool thing about the snorkel excursion was that the tour guide followed us around while we snorkeled and took pictures of us on his GoPro (making all my snorkeling mermaid picture dreams come true ;). He was so nice and gave us a CD of all the pictures at the end of the tour.
After the snorkel tour we had a couple of hours to explore Cabo San Lucas. We walked around and shopped, and asked all of the locals where the best tacos were. Multiple people referred us to Las Guacamayas and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. SO GOOD.
On our last night we visited one of the most highly recommended spots in all of Cabo...Flora Farms. Most of Cabo is pretty desert-y, but when you pull up to Flora Farms all you see is lush green farmland. It's a little community that grows all of their own crops. There's a cute little restaurant with live music playing, lots of adorable seating areas, some little cute shops, an ice cream stand, and pathways going through the gardens that you can explore. The food at the restaurant was incredible. So fresh and delicious.
Overall we loved Cabo, and are so glad we were able to spend this time together. Huge thanks to my parents for taking such great care of Cal while we were gone. We missed that little sweetie!
Let me know if you have any questions about our trip that I didn't cover. I'd love to answer them!
