Going to Cabo for NYE & debating between an Airbnb or staying at the Garza Blanca. Anyone ever stayed at an Airbnb in Cabo? Thoughts or tips? For example, curious whether there is public beach access or ability to get day resort passes? What about Garza Blanca? My SO and I are early 30s, no kids. Tons of reviews I’ve seen for the hotel have show families with little ones, which concerns me a little about the vibe. We enjoy good food and good drinks. Open to other recs too. Thanks in advance!

It’s been 3 weeks since I heard from my recruiter since then. They let me know there’s a re org/shift happening internally and recruitment has been paused. Can anyone please share any insights if they have them? Not sure how much longer to wait before looking elsewhere. Thanks so much.
