Thinking about riu palace beach in Cabo? Good choice — budget $200-600 per night. Here's what you need to know before booking.
Resort fees are standard ($30-50/night extra) and almost never included in the quoted rate. Factor this into your budget comparison.
Book direct with the hotel or through a travel advisor for the best rates and potential upgrades. OTA prices are rarely the best deal for Cabo properties.
All-inclusive rates run $300-800+ per night for two. Room-only hotels in town start around $100-250. The math on all-inclusive works if you'll eat and drink at the resort most days.
Pro tip from locals: download offline maps - cell service is spotty outside town.
