[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve stayed at hacienda Del Mar which is mid ranged and I like it a lot.  I think Marriott bought it recently.  It has 2 bedroom suites which are great when traveling with kids.

Two important things about Cabo —

Many of the beaches are too rough to swim.  If it’s important to you to swim from the beach, google those hotels — there’s only a few.

You probably want a car.  Most of the hotels are on what’s known as the golden coast between Cabo de San Lucas and Cabo de San Jose.  If you are going to do snorkel trips, sailing etc, it will probably leave from one of those towns.  San Jose has a nice spuveneir/craft market near the main cathedral.  Both have some nice restaurants.  There’s a great Costco if you need to stock up on anything or forgot anything.  So while some tours will pick you up at the hotel for an extra price if you don’t want to rent a car, it is nice to have one as it opens up options for restaurants and shopping and tours.  You can’t walk from the nice resorts to really much of anything.  [/quote]

What kind of tours are available? Is there more to do than swim/snorkel?[/quote]

There are kayaking tours around the natural arch thing, lots of sunset boat-type tours again going by that arch.  The snorkeling I didn't love - you need a wetsuit and the water is not as clear as Caribbean.[/quote]

The water is very cold, it's the Pacific, and there isn't much to see snorkeling. It's dark and there aren't coral reefs. Instead there are a lot of sunset/booze cruise type things. Also fishing. With the desert right there you can rent dune buggies to drive around and horseback riding on the beach.[/quote]
