I really liked it there. The entire region is beautiful. I was happily surprised that the place wasn't overly infested with U.S corporations. You still have the feeling you're in Mexico. I stayed at the RIU Santa Fe, its an all inclusive resort. I'll review that a little later. You can do whatever recreation you desire in Cabo, from riding ATVs on the Pacific beaches( thanks to Lawrence for that suggestion, it was a lot of fun) to whale watching on a pirate ship. That was very cool. Downtown Cabo is safe, even at night. The locals wearing the white outfits have their stuff laid out for sale pretty much everywhere. They sell everything from hats and T-shirts to some good green bud. : D Hey...when in Rome.
I spent most of my time drinking by the pool during the day, and drinking at one of many bars at night. Speaking of night, it cools off pretty good in the desert this time of year. If you forgot to bring a jacket, don't worry, find the guys dressed in the white outfits, thats if they don't find you first.

beautiful place to vacation!

I really like Cabo San Lucas. It's touristy, but not nearly on the same scale as Cancun. The rock formation at the end of the beach makes it visually stunning. When I went, I stayed in a place that I rented off of VRBO, and it was perfect. You do have to be careful going in the water, as some of the beaches have nasty undertows. Unless you're staying downtown, it's probably a good idea to rent a car. It will give you the flexibility of checking out different beaches, going to the supermarket, etc. If you're looking to have a cultural Mexico experience, there are plenty of better places to go than Cabo. But if you're looking for gorgeous, hot, dry weather and ruggedly pretty beaches, you won't go wrong with Cabo. For those of us on the West Coast, it's under a three hour flight as well.
