Getting from the airport to Hotel Palmas de Cortez
The drive follows Federal Highway 1 from Los Cabos International Airport toward San José del Cabo before continuing along the scenic coastline of the Sea of Cortez to Los Barriles. Covering approximately 100 kilometers, the trip normally takes between 60 and 70 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
Unlike destinations within the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor, Los Barriles has very limited public transportation, especially for visitors arriving with luggage, fishing equipment, beach gear, or children. A private transfer eliminates the uncertainty of finding transportation after landing and allows your vacation to begin immediately.
Canada Transfers monitors every arriving flight in real time. If your flight arrives early or experiences delays, your driver automatically adjusts the pickup schedule at no additional charge. There is no need to notify the company if the airline changes your arrival time.
Every reservation is completely private. Your family or travel group has exclusive use of the vehicle from the airport to the hotel, without sharing the ride with strangers or making additional hotel stops.

Comfortable airport transportation for families staying at Hotel Palmas de Cortez
Hotel Palmas de Cortez is especially popular with families looking for a quieter alternative to the busy resorts of Cabo San Lucas. Parents appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, while children enjoy calm beaches and wide open spaces. Because many guests travel with extra luggage, coolers, fishing rods, snorkeling equipment, or baby gear, choosing the right vehicle makes the journey much more comfortable.
The Toyota Hiace standard van comfortably accommodates up to ten passengers and offers generous luggage capacity, making it ideal for larger families, multi-generational vacations, or groups bringing outdoor equipment.
Families of four to six travelers will often find the Deluxe Chevrolet Suburban to be the best overall choice. Besides being the lower-priced option on this route, it offers a quieter cabin, premium leather seating, extra legroom, and a smoother ride along the highway to Los Barriles. The complimentary bottle of sparkling wine adds a pleasant touch for adults celebrating the beginning of their vacation.
Traveling with infants or toddlers is equally simple. Baby seats are available as an optional add-on and can be installed before your arrival. Simply request one when making your reservation so everything is ready when your driver meets you at the airport.
For reunions, destination celebrations, fishing tournaments, or extended family vacations, the Mercedes Sprinter accommodates up to 17 passengers while allowing everyone to travel together instead of splitting into multiple vehicles.
Why choose a private transfer instead of a shared shuttle?
After a flight, especially with children, the last thing most families want is to wait for additional passengers or make several hotel stops before reaching their destination.
A private transfer offers several advantages:
- Direct transportation from SJD Airport to Hotel Palmas de Cortez.
- No shared rides with other travelers.
- Flight tracking included.
- Bilingual professional drivers.
- Spacious vehicles for luggage, fishing gear, golf clubs, and strollers.
- Flexible pickup times based on your actual arrival.
- Door-to-door service directly to the resort entrance.
For families, this means less waiting, fewer logistics, and more time enjoying Los Barriles.
How to book
Because Los Barriles is outside the primary tourist corridor, transportation availability can become limited during peak fishing season between November and May, as well as during school holidays and summer vacations.
Booking two or three days before arrival is recommended, although reserving earlier provides the greatest vehicle availability.
When making your reservation, simply provide:
- Airline
- Flight number
- Arrival date
- Estimated landing time
- Number of passengers
- Baby seat request (if needed)
