Any experience renting a car in SJD, reviews are terrible for all the American Companies, saying they up charge mandatory Mexican insurance, are the cc supposed to cover that?

Cards cover damage to the rented car, mandatory insurance is for potential damage to other people/cars (3rd party)

Is the Waldorf in Cabo Shabbos friendly? Does it make a difference what kind of room you get?

For the benefit of anybody visiting Los Cabos, please see the letter from the Rabonim of Mexico City, as well as Chabad of Cabo. You need to be very careful when searching for Kosher food in Cabo or any other remote tourist destination for that matter.

I can be contacted for any questions on this matter.

I've seen the review on the main site of RC Zadun, anyone has experience with Solaz and can provide some details?  Is it same idea as Zadun?
