need advice on Cabo...no, not fishing charters as I used the search function and got those covered!!

need advice on a few things. To help understand here's what I have set up so far..

day 1 - arrive, check in at place downtown, check out medano and eat at nice restaurant downtown
day 2 - fish with pisces....then we are going out to stay at a condo just outside of town the rest of the trip
day 3 - chill
day 4 - fish with Dr. Pescado....fingers crossed for rooster fish although its tough time of year for them
day 5 - chill
day 6 - fish with pisces....hopefully bring back some good eats and will buy a cooler to bring home
day 7 - chill
day 8 - leave

questions...
1) transportation....we can rent a car, uber, or hire transportation. I know if we rent we'll want to get FULL protection. The condo also has great reviews on helping set up transportation and obviously uber. My initial plan was to get transfer service to/from airport and then uber rest of time because on chill days we're VERY likely just hanging at the beach/pool at our condo. I figured it's probably cheaper or a wash and easier. Even with a couple of early morning drives into the marina. any suggestions?

2) should we just uber to/from the airport as well? It looks cheaper than transports but not sure how easy it is

3) on the days we are going to chill we MIGHT do some sort of activity. This would be either golf, scuba, or a day tour to Todos or La Paz. Yay or waste of time?
a) golf course recos?
b) scuba...worth it or not and recos?
c) tours.....wife wouldn't like the 4 wheeler tours but might be up for checking out nearby towns
d) sunset tour....we're already gonna be on the boat plenty so not sure this is worth it? our condo is right on the water and will have okay to decent sunset view

4) you get one dinner in Cabo....don't want chili's level or touristy crap....but don't want to spend $100 a plate. Where do you go?

5) anyone been to playa chileno? Looks like a good wide beach to spread out and avoid the crowds and minimize the hucksters selling chicle

6) cooler for the fish...is it as simple as going to walmart and buying a 32 or 64 qt cooler and then taping shut with my biz card on it? would hate for a screw up before hand cause problems at either airport. Plan is to freeze and hopefully it'll make it from the condo until we get home to houston.

Can't help with most of your list, but I would recommend arranging for limo service to and from the airport. You'll be much more comfortable and relaxed with a professional driver and a more luxurious vehicle. Uber was easy and convenient everywhere else.

Not sure about Cabo but Uber was just banned in Cancun. I'm 99% sure it's banned in Los Cabos too. Not worth the Risk to your Safety IMO. They still run but oprate without the required Licenses.

1) Arrange transportation to/from the airport before you go. Cabo Transfers is our go-to.

3) If you're renting a car drive to Todos Santos yourself instead of a tour. It's a beautiful drive. There's a great farm-to-table restaurant near Todos Santos called Jazamango. It's damn near perfect in every way.

4) If you're staying in Cabo San Lucas, put El Burro Loco in your google maps. Cheap, authentic, and maybe would be my choice for my last meal. Get the jamaica tea and the mole'. Have Google translate ready on your phone if you don't speak Spanish.

this was one of our favorite parts of the trip.

grab a drink at Oystera and walk over to Vino Park next door as well. Beautiful gardens.

Surprisingly fantastic Italian food. Have gone a dozen times or so and it is always a hit with anyone we take with us.
