Marina Puerto Los Cabos is much quieter than Cabo San Lucas. Facilities are in good condition, though there are only a couple of showers. Best to get a slip on the south side near the office, unless you want to dinghy across. Good restaurants are at the marina, on the north side of the marina, or in San Jose- about a mile walk or $15 taxi ride.
Marina Cabo San Lucas is now managed by a sailor-friendly guy who is trying to attract cruisers. They are very helpful. Rates in 11/15 are about $80/night for a 40 ft vessel.
