Tablets
Are your kid(s) infants? My 3 kids are 3+ in age and I gave them all Amazon Fire tablets to keep them busy. 1 of them fell asleep and the 2 were ok. We had a 730pm time and our kids are late sleepers. So it all depends on your kids age and your tolerance for tablets.

Booked for next February! Got 5 nights, wondering if I should add a night near Flora Farms and explore that area? Anyone know if that side has enough things to do/see? Thinking if we did that then the rest of the time we'd be on the West side and just spend out time there.
How much would an Uber cost from Flora Farms to Pedregal?

Our little guy is good for a dinner that is an hour and a half or so but a dinner pushing 3 hours probably would have been hard on all of us and taken away from the experience so we went with the babysitter. That being said I do think el farralon is overrated but the setting is one of a kind and needs to be done once.

We went to El Huerto on a recent trip and really enjoyed it. It's close to WA, easy to get there with Uber. It's open for breakfast and dinner, not midday. It is a good farm to table option in an attractive setting.

- swim at Chileno Bay (this is still on the corridor but further towards SJD)
- Floral Farms and/or Acre, another farm to table restaurant. Some peeps do drinks at one and food at the other since they are near each other
- Check out the historic district and gallery district in SJD
- Thursday nt art walk
- visit the church, get a paleta and/or grab some street food from the square in front of the church

Definitely think San Jose Del Cabo is worthy of an evening but would not spend a night there personally ; is only a 45 min drive away
Similarly I would say you can see Todos Santos (1 hr / 15 min away) but would not spend the night.
I day tripped to both of these towns from Cabo and also to La Paz for swimming with whale sharks which is much further but also had a rental car so that made things much easier to take such trips.

Second guest check in
Planning to go there for first visit January 2024. I booked one night with my own FNC and was wondering if anyone had experience booking with another Hilton member FNC and then adding me as a second guest for check in. The other Hilton member will not be there.
TIA

Just came back last week. We used two FNCs issued to two members, but both of us went. They did ask for all of our passports during check in. Not sure if this would help.

Question: did you book 1 standard room with points for 2 adults and 3 children? Or was it 2 standard rooms?

Given the cost differences on the rooms and the fact that the standard room really does not exist ; I would suspect upgrading to anything that made sense to upgrade to would be well over $500 per night.
I don't know the actual upgrade costs. Ocean View and Pacific View are same thing both have plunge pools just different online to control point inventory.

I don't know if I just got lucky but when I was here for 3 nights in Jan I was upgrades to the Dos Mares Suite without requesting an upgrade or anything. It was my first time at the property YMMV.
