This is a late review but after visiting the Vancouver, BC Costco I thought it would be fun to…read morewrite about my Costco trip down in Cabo San Lucas. We took a non-stop flight down to Baja California Sur. Super convenient. It's only a 1 hour time difference from Pacific Standard Time. We checked out the Costco off Carretera Transpeninsular (Hwy 1) while on vacation. We didn't rent a car so a hotel staff member was able to arrange transportation to take us there. Lots of parking. The setup is pretty much the same as the Costcos up here. I liked seeing their signage and merch in Spanish. It was also interesting seeing prices in their local currency. I noticed the abundance of alcohol, like top shelf stuff. Not surprising since it's Cabo. Of course people are here to party! The warehouse was clean. The employees were nice. We bought some snacks to bring back to the hotel. Their food court was outside. We didn't get anything though since it was hot and the line was long. The ocean view was nice too.

For my shopping trip, I was just going to get bottled water, a couple bottles of Mexican wine to…read moretry, and fruit. In addition to those items, I purchased the fresh coconuts that had a drinking straw and cocktail pick to poke a hole for the straw, and bags of dried cherries because the stores in CA do not carry them as of late. Before wine shopping, I had a list of wines to look for and was thrilled to find two. Because I had never tried a Nebbiolo, I chose an L.A. Cetto Nebbiolo for US$28 and a Monte Xanic (pronouned shaw-neek) Gran Ricardo 2022 for a little over US$100 which is slightly more than US prices. While my wine friend tasted notes of leather and tobacco, I just thought the Nebbiolo tasted DRY, but we both enjoyed drinking it. On the other hand, the Monte Xanic Gran Ricardo was full of fruit and tannins that everyone favored. As Yelper Dustin E mentioned, getting gasoline for the rental car is TOTALLY different than the U.S. Instead of using the pump to transact with your Costco card, you have to use a separate card reader. After trying numerous combinations to pay for gas, you have to scan/swipe/insert your membership card, estimate how many liters you need on a car you're unfamiliar with but you need to return it to the rental car company with the gas tank full (figure 4 liters to the gallon) then you scan/swipe/insert a different credit card to pay for the amount of gas you think you need. I do not know what happens if you over buy. Keep in mind, this is all done in Spanish. In retrospect, I should have spoken to an employee inside the store to help me understand how to use the car reader and show me. Otherwise, all Americans will be taking an inordinate amount of time figuring out how to pay for their gas. Pumping gas is straight forward once you figure out the payment part. For my car, my rental company requested premium gas. As far as accessibility to Costco, if you're coming from the north, it's easier to access the Costco using the main road and then exit to the frontage road. If you're coming from the south or the marina, you have to pass Costco and then exit to a frontage road and take the Retorno (a big U-turn bridge that crosses the main highway). If you don't need gas or mega packages of food, shop at the Soríana right next door.

This a popular place to shop (not just of groceries but also all sorts of other things - somewhat…read moresimilar to Walmart), accessible by bus (many of which list it on the front window as a stop). It's also a place to find low cost food to eat while there. In addition to the food court restaurants near the cash registers, (and also even many more upstairs near Cinépolis), there is also a mini cafeteria inside the store itself - offering many options. I tried the 5 taco and a drink for $52 MXN (around $2.70 USD at time of posting) before buying groceries to make meals on my own. Be sure to check your receipt and change. Some of the cashiers will short you - and deny it when you call them on it and show them how much you are owed. Rounding up is common, but this place has now lost my trust and business - over a few Pesos.

Of course that's because all of the American tourists were crammed into the bar on the corner getting plastered in the middle of the day. But they have shirts, belts, coats, dishes and other throngs. They are perfect for tourists wanting keepsakes. They had a great barbershop and my husband got a haircut. It was great! The barbers in there were very nice and talented. My hubby said it was the best haircut he's ever received. They also have a tattoo shop. And after a trip to the bar and getting plastered, I may have the courage to get one. Who knows.

Like a lot of dying malls in the US. But this one wasn't so big so, the impact wasn't so great. But it was a cute spot with an ice cream joint, a coffee space and some restaurants. There were lots of ads for the open spaces to be leased, which was odd. But it was cute enough, but not a place to hang out and peruse. No clothing stores and no major grocery store or corner store, but for a meal it was fine. I'd like to try some other places upon my next visit.
