Bargains here are few; rooms generally start at $200 a night and can easily climb into the thousands. For groups of six or more planning an extended stay, condos or villas can be a convenient and economical option, though you should always book well in advance.
Hotel rates in Baja California Sur are subject to a 10% value-added tax and a 2% hotel tax for tourism promotion. Service charges (at least 10%) and meals generally aren't included in hotel rates. Several of the high-end properties include a daily service charge in your bill; be sure you know the policy before tipping (though additional tips are always welcome). We always list the available facilities, but we don't specify extra costs; so always ask about what's included.
Assume that hotels operate on the European Plan (EP, with no meals) unless we specify that they offer a Continental Plan (CP, with a continental breakfast), Breakfast Plan (BP, with a full breakfast), Modified American Plan (MAP, with breakfast and dinner), or the Full American Plan (FAP, with all meals). A number of properties throughout Los Cabos have gone all-inclusive (AI with all meals and drinks).
