Cabo San Lucas Mexico offers a few great Resort for a Day pass options. Treat yourself to an all inclusive experience during your day at port, with any of the choices below!
We’ve cruised to Mexico many times and have done the “standard” tours. They’re great. Cabo San Lucas has amazing beaches, blue waters, weather, and people.
We’ve also realized that the most convenient way to take advantage of Mexico's assets is with a Resort Day Pass.
Why choose a Resort for a Day Pass in Cabo San Lucas?
There are a bunch of reasons for choosing an All Inclusive Day Pass. Here are our top few.
Cabo San Lucas is one of the safest ports in Mexico. Very rarely are there safety incidents in and around Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port. However, there's still the uncertainty of traveling abroad.
A resort is your best option if safety is a concern. You'll have no worries within the protected walls of any option below. Security and privacy are valuable amenities at these resorts. We’ve never heard of an incident within one of Cabo San Lucas’s resorts. In the rare chance of a health or security issue, you'd want to be at any of these resorts vs an alternative excursion option!
From our map above, you can see that all resorts are very near your Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port. This offers a sense of comfort for many cruise goers. Each option below is accessed with a short taxi ride. You can expect to travel roughly 15 minutes from port to your destination.
You'll have every amenity at your fingertips. No need to worry about haggling over price, finding food, renting beach chairs, etc. And you won’t need to check your watch constantly to make sure your excursion provider will get you back on time. Your only inconvenience will be deciding which drink to order next. This is an easy “problem” to solve since drinks are all-inclusive.
Most organized shore excursions are run by “mom and pop” shops. Many do a great job. But, they’re not held to the same standards as the resort properties. When you’re done with your snorkeling gear at RIU, they’ll clean and sanitize the equipment. After a tour with “ Lou’s Snorkeling Fun Time,” the gear might get a quick splash of Corona before the next cruise passenger straps it on. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but hopefully you get where we’re going. The resorts will likely have newer beach chairs, fresher towels, and cleaner restrooms.
Cost Comparison All Inclusive vs Other
A resort day pass will cost roughly $100 per person. That may seem expensive. Consider all of the incidentals with a normal excursion. You'll often purchase rental chairs, food, drink, and equipment rental. These can quick add up to exceed a resort pass!
You’ll see the cost of an all-inclusive day pass averages roughly $100 per person. This is similar to the cost of a cruise excursion in Cabo San Lucas. However, you’ll find much more included at a resort. A beach excursion includes many "hidden" costs. You might pay for beach access. Chair rentals will cost $20 per. Drink costs will likely be double that. Then you'll likely want to tack on events like kayaking or snorkeling.
You can easily spend $100 per person going "a la carte." And you'll likely leave a bit hungrier and “thirstier” than if the situation were all-inclusive. There's also an intangible value to the buffet style. The freedom to order whatever you want all day long is a huge bonus.
If you’ve gotten this far, we’ll assume you’re “all-in” for a resort day pass in Mexico. Good decision. You'll be happy with your decision!
