|  Trip Report July 6th-12th We have been to both Cancun twice and now Cabo so, there’s a lot we want to say, so we are going to try to split up our posts into days, some may run together…here it goes, will try to post pictures too… Day One – Arrived to airport about 3pm, no trouble, and watch out for the vultures after you pass security. They told us they were from Grayline (the company we booked our transfer through); however after a few minutes we noticed that it was the timeshare/trip adventures guys. So we quickly said no thank you and headed outside find Grayline. Waited about 20 minutes with 4 other couples, for our driver and then we were off to the resort. Luckily we were the first stop, about a 20 minutes drive, on a van where apparently the air was not working, very hot. $56 for Two for round trip transfer, apparently a taxi cab is $20 one way-should have done that. Entrance to the resort is very dull and uninviting, was sort of concerned when looking from the outside. A bonus is the Mega (Super Walmart) is right across the street, used it a few times…great price on Red Bull. Lobby was nice, not as grand as Cancun. The front desks sent us over to timeshare crew, we politely said, no thank you and that was it. Room was ready and we headed up…three flights…to Room #342. Room was fine, just like the pictures, however too far away from the action, oh well we put on our suits and headed to the Quiet Pool oh wait, I mean the Pool. Met some great people, had some drinks and headed up to the Jacuzzi pool, amazing view, great bar and great jacuzzi pool. Melissa was really tired plus drank a little too much so we headed up…three flights…to our room for a “rest”, she woke up at 6am the next day. While she was sleeping I went to the front desk and tried to switch rooms, I asked for a first floor room that walked out onto the pool and/or the Mélange Bar, none available that night, they would switch us at noon the next day, fair enough. Ordered room service, $5 charge for delivery, it was good. FIRST VIEW OF CABO WHILE ON THE PLANE  LOS CABOS AIRPORT  VIEW FROM THE JACUZZI  JACUZZI BAR  JACUZZI BAR  JACUZZI BAR CLASSIC DAY ONE PICTURE  VIEW FROM OUR FIRST ROOM #342  to be continued...

| Day Two – Up bright and early, headed to the pool to get some chairs, no problem at all, there are always plenty of chairs and beds available for use. To breakfast at the buffet, nice meal, great omelets and freshly made French toast. This restaurant is at the front of the resort and you can either eat inside or out.   Melange Bar during the day, nice couches and chairs to sit in. To the beach for a few photos, the beach is beautiful, however no swimming. We did see one man who appeared to be an expert swimmer, however the undertoe pulled him soooo far down the beach, we never even tried…it’s called fatal for a reason.   Beach Volleyball courts    Looking up to the Jacuzzi Pool/Bar Headed up to lay out for about 1 hour then into the pool. Best part of the pool is the zero entry and the platform in the middle. They do play games on the zero entry end of the pool, so sorta an advantage during water polo.   Staff today is Anthony, Crystal and Angie…all very nice but would be better with a kids resort…no adult energy, very boring. After a few hours of Easy Listening Music, Ron went to the DJ and asked him to play something else because he was falling asleep. Didn’t do much good, only a slight change. After checking several times, our new room was finally ready, thanks to Manuel the Bellboy (he looked all of 12-hard worker-very helpful). Room #120 was the best. Each day they had trivia…today was movie soundtrack trivia…not quite the fun we were looking for. Had some lunch at the buffet right next to the pool…very nice. After watching the staff for awhile we decided to teach our new friends a little game we call the LUGE… After a few rounds of shots we moved up to the Jacuzzi Bar for more fun…no pictures available…sorry. This was a fun afternoon of more Luge and body shots. Back to the room to get ready for Lingerie Night, no time for dinner, plus not hungry from all the drinks so Ron just ran to the buffet and grabbed some bread…perfect! Walked out our patio door directly to the Melange Bar, next picture I'm standing on our patio...  About 30% of the people were dressed, staff and guests did a Fashion Show and then the music started. Danced for 30 minutes and then headed to the Jacuzzi Bar, by this time everyone had left the Melange Bar and was also headed to the Jacuzzi Bar. We would have like to stay longer at the bar instead of getting all wet again, but we followed the crowd because NO ONE was at the bar. Average night at the Jacuzzi Bar, most people content with sitting in the water and casually talking. Music was VERY mellow, not party music at all. Bar says it closes at 3am, but actually they stop serving at 2:30am and then everyone out of the water at 3am. More pics from Day 2  Wall over looking the Melange Bar and the pool in the foreground. There are steps to the right that lead down to the pool, it's a multiple level resort.

| Day 3 – Headed to the Breakfast buffet, again very good. Got our spots at the pool, we usually put towels down around 9am, no problem getting chairs or a beds. Visited the beach for a little while in the morning, it’s so pretty.    Staff included Ceaser today, we had heard he was great…we were not impressed, I guess we are a hard crowd after being entertained by Chinos in the past. More Senior Citizen trivia, plus the exciting game of the day…BINGO. We thought they were kidding when they announced Bingo, I thought they would break out with some sexy, funny twist to the game…but NO! Straight up round cage with balls and Bingo cards…just like the Rec Center, thought I was going to die. Then they did the beer chugging contest...good times.  OK this is more like it, did more Luge shots and then played Volleyball. Melissa didn’t actually play volleyball, she was in charge of the shots. Got Alejandro to make 20 shots and when anyone messed up they did a shot, those went quickly…got another round of 20, then Alejandro was sick of making shots so he just made a squirt bottle full of Jungle Juice, this did the trick…Everyone had fun, even those just watching said it was a fun game.   Headed up to the Jacuzzi for awhile…added a new shot, thanks to friends we met…the Modified Luge… Plus we did the Butt Beer Bong Chinos taught us this Spring, we thought we would enlighten Cabo on the fun! No pictures of this, forgot to break out the camera…would have been some great pics.  Headed back the room to get ready for dinner, we ate a great meal at the Italian restaurant, probably the best meal we had at the resort. Live band at the Melange Bar, they were awesome, the female singer did covers of Janis Joplin and Alicia Keys…amazing. Danced and sung along, more shots, Ceaser at the Melange Bar makes the best Lemon Drops EVER! Stayed and listened to the band for about 45 minutes then up to the jacuzzi…can’t remember the details, nights are running together…

| In regards to the entertainment staff, I agree about Chinos, he is the best. Although, the trip I was there, I thought Cesar was pretty good. We were scheduled to go to Temptation Cancun next week & found out Chinos was not going to be there. I canceled the reservation at Temptation, we are going to Desire instead. For us, no Chinos, no reason to go to Temptation Cancun when Desire is right down the road. |

| When Chinos was at Cabos the place had a livelier atmosphere for sure and it sounds as though it needs a bit of a boost where fun is concerned but it is a fantastic resort, the photos made me 'homesick' for it.

| Day 4 – Today we headed out at 9am and caught the bus into Cabo San Lucas. The bus stop is in the front of the Mega Store. Cross the street, go thru the Mega Plaza and cross the next street to the bus stop, 25 pesos per person each way. After about a 20 minute ride into town the bus dropped us off in the middle of the city, across the street from the mall.  We walked around the town in and out of shops and headed to the marina.  There we found a little area where many “booths” we set up, and the people we selling their goods, got some souvenirs for the kids and headed down to find a water taxi.    For $10 per person, we traveled in the water taxi from the marina, to The Office for one hour, to Lover’s Beach for one hour and then back to the marina…the drivers was very punctual. You can pick any time frame you want, 1 hour was perfect for lunch, next time we will spend more time a Lover’s Beach, maybe bring a cooler with beer. We had a great meal at The Office, a restaurant on the beach, we sat with our feet in the sand, beer in hand and chips and salsa on the table…Perfect!  This is at Medano Beach and as I was told was the only beach in Los Cabos that is swimmable...  There was a cruise ship in port at that time so it was a busy area. Vendors were all over the beach selling their goods.  The taxi picked us up and we headed over to Lover’s Beach…absolutely beautiful. Now there is no dock at Medano Beach or Lover’s Beach so the boats get close to the shore but you have to jump into the water and then jump back up into the boat…Bring stuff that can get wet!   Headed back to the marina, walked to the bus stop back near the mall and headed back to the resort about 2pm. Return to TTR to start up a volleyball game, got my Squirt Bottle with Alejandro’s special mixer, this time with Tabasco sauce (it was actually pretty good), walked around the pool giving people shots and getting people to play the game. This time to start the game (Boys Vs Girls) someone had the great idea that all the girls should be topless and the boy’s au natural…Too Fun! Was a great game, boys ended up with the girls tops on themselves and then when the sides were switched and the boys were on the zero entry end of the pool…exposed…they decided to use the girls tops as banana hammocks! Had one of our favorite meals that night…Ron decided to make 2 plates full of nachos and we ate in the pool with friends, then headed up to the Jacuzzi pool for more shots, butt bongs and chocolate.   We went to the room to get dressed for the Jacuzzi Pool Party…and a little sick of being in the water all the time. There was show with a guy spinning and throwing fire. Great DJ up at the Jacuzzi and everyone was in the pool so we decided to join them, took off the shoes, clothes and we ended up wet again in our underwear. Dancing in the pool with great tunes…fun night music ended at 12am, and then the resort switched to the elevator music…ugh buzz kill. View from the water taxi, the blue umbrellas is The Office...  View from our table at The Office...  Ron getting Surprised by a wave...  When you land on Lover's Beach on the Sea of Cortez you can walk through the rock about 100 yards to Divorce Beach on the Pacific Ocean, we loved this side, bigger beach, less people...we think they should change the name.  The Arch...  Gigglin Marlin...  El Squid Roe  View of the Sea of Cortez from the Jacuzzi pool...  Great Day...

| Thanks for all the time it took to do this trip report. We have been to Temptations Cancun and have wondered about Los Cabos. Question though is Los Cabos more couples than singles and is it an older crowd or mixed? |

Probably won't be in Cancun til beginning of May but will know more in January on dates for sure...when are you planning on going would love to see you guys again? As for the Puma, Ron got me good one day during volleyball, we had all the girls topless and all the boys bottomless and I was with my squirt bottle handing out shots for those that messed up. One time I had to jump in the pool to get to someone to give them a shot and left Ron with the perfect "pumatunity", not paying attention Ron got a hold of the strings on the bo0ttom of my suit, pulled the ties and he was off like a puma...leaving me naked in the shallow end of the pool, not a pretty site, then just as sly as a puma he threw my suit outside of pool. So to answser you question, yes the Puma was loose.

| Day 5 Woke up, got chairs, walked on the beach, took pictures, laid out, listened to the senior citizen trivia AGAIN.     The staff actually played a fun game today. Contestants rolled a dice and then moved their penis marker to the appropriate spot where tasks had to be completed (collecting tops, singing a song, dancing sexy, telling a joke, belly flops, etc). Fun game got the guests laughing.  Headed up to the Jacuzzi a little earlier today, had lots of fun with shots and chocolate sauce for abut 4 hours. Good Times! Headed back to the room to get ready for dinner, met friends at the Italian restaurant, had a great meal again. However we were given a small menu with only two entree choices due to "the size of our party", there was only 8 of us.   After dinner, to the Melange Bar for th stripper show lasted 30 minutes and we headed to the Disco Lounge, this is upstairs on the third floor at the front of the resort, only open on Saturday and the only air conditioned place in the evening. Wish this was opened every night, great bar, great seating and two stripper poles...lots of fun.  Disco closed at 2am, no wear else to go, jacuzzi closing in 30 minutes, went to our room for fun then changed into comfortable clothes, went to the buffet to get the left over pizza (missed the 3am hamburgers from Cancun). Took a plate of pizza to the beach beds, ate and then passed out for "just a little while", Ron woke me up to see the sun rise...beautiful...back to sleep til 8am. Great night sleeping on the beach.  Puma just for you T-Mac       These are the rainbow shots in Cabo, each shot is a different color!
