Cabo Cush
Calle Ignacio Zaragoza between Revolución de 1910 and Venustiano Carranza, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur 23450, MéxicoWhy We Like It
What's not to like? Cabo Cush is cool, clean, comfortable, and affordable; offering excellent value at a relatively central location. It’s only one block off Calle Morelos, where many locals do their shopping, and a short walk from the marina mall at Puerto Paraíso.
Fodor's Expert Review
By far one of the most affordable hotels in Cabo, this little gem is reminiscent of courtyard hotels in mainland México, with a central breezeway running between the low-slung two-story buildings in the heart of town. Upon entering the rooms, you'll find top-of-the-line pillow-top mattresses with soft cotton sheets, sleek furniture, and bathrooms with beautiful Talavera tiling. There is a midcentury-meets-Mexico feel to this place, and, though it's simple, it's quite comfortable. If you're in Cabo to get out and do things and you want an extremely comfortable and affordable rest when you finally lay your head down, this is the place for you.
