Flight & Transportation Tips
Arrival: To arrive with ample time to get to the hotel and attend our private dinner on the beach, please schedule your flights to arrive no later than 2:30pm on October 7th. Although check-in time is 3pm, if you arrive early, feel free to lounge at the pool, or grab a bite at the lobby restaurant. The hotel will hold your luggage so that you can start to enjoy the amenities as soon as you arrive! Departure: Our last session will be from 10am – 12pm on Sunday, October 10th. If your departure flight is any earlier than 2pm you will most likely miss it, so plan accordingly!Transportation: If you arrive on October 6th or 7th, and depart on October 10th or 11th, we will be providing transportation to and from the airport. As the getaway approaches, we will have more information regarding this. Toll Road: If you choose to provide your own transportation, please be aware of the TOLL ROAD when you’re driving. To get from the airport in Cabo to the Hilton, it is $2.15 and it HAS to be US Cash.Getting Around Cabo: If you’d like to rent a car while in Cabo, we recommend using Cactus Car Rentals. If you need to leave the property for any reason, the Hilton does have a shuttle, but I would not base your activities dependent on that information. If you choose to do off-site activities, most companies will provide transportation.Flight Information: If your flight information changes please text Cathlene immediately with the new information (714)306-3933.

Yes, they take US dollars and accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. There is also an ATM at the hotel for your convenience.
How much spending money should we bring?
Since your room, food, drinks and tips for the servers are included in the retreat cost, it’s really up to you with how much you want to bring. If you plan on doing excursions or leaving the property, do some research and check to see if the location accepts credit cards and US dollars. Most places accept US dollars and do not require pesos but always double check.

Please email Ilse.AguirreMena@hilton.com if you would like to extend your stay. Make sure to mention that you are part of the Marriage365 getaway.
What is the hotel doing to ensure safety in the midst of Covid-19?
Upon arrival, the hotel staff will take your temperature and provide you with hand sanitizer. The hotel has hired extra staff that focus solely on cleaning and sanitizing. All hotels in Cabo cannot exceed a 70% occupancy which means that there is plenty of room to practice social distancing. We spent an entire week at the hotel in July 2020 and felt incredibly safe. We were impressed with the hotel’s commitment to making sure their guests and staff are healthy.
What are some of the amenities the hotel provides?
In your hotel room: blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, a safe, WIFI, two complimentary waters per day, full size ironing board and iron, and a mini fridge. When you’re at the pool, the resort includes beach towels to use at both the beach and the pools.
How can we book a spa treatment?

What are the sessions going to look like?
Get ready to start working on your marriage. Casey and Meygan will be teaching you healthy relationship techniques, model what they look like, and then give you time to practically apply them to your relationship. We will provide pens, worksheets, snacks, and water.
We want you to be comfortable during the sessions so please dress casual. Also, we will be running the air conditioner so if you get cold easily, you may want to bring a jacket.
Does my cell phone work in Cabo?
Most US carriers already include plans that have you covered while in Mexico. When we were in Cabo in July, our phones automatically switched to the local carrier without incurring any fees. Not to worry, the entire hotel has great wifi coverage.

You can swim at any of the resort’s 4 pools or head to the beach directly in front of the resort (yes the beach is swimmable and the water is warm). There are tennis courts and the hotel can provide rackets and balls…just ask the front desk. There is a full service spa that Meygan will most likely be at and on Saturday from 3-5pm.
