Los Cabos

Courtesy Mi Cocina
The top resorts in Cabo try their best to entice visitors to stay put with numerous dining options, including the special barbecue night offered at the One & Only Palmilla or the all-out local fiesta, Mexicanisimo, at Esperanza. That said, if you have more than three or four nights, it’s fun to get off-site. To mingle with the locals in a mellow ambience, head to one of San José del Cabo’s restaurants, such as Mi Cocina. Those in search of a party will prefer Cabo San Lucas, where the area’s best sushi place, Nick-San, continues to draw crowds. The resort restaurants are fantastic, and it’s worth reserving a dinner at a different hotel than your own as well.
