Lodging in Cabo San Lucas and nearby San Jose and La Paz.
Hello!
Six of us (two families) are flying to Cabo San Lucas this Christmas. Reading the guidebooks, I'm thinking of spending the week in La Paz, about a two hour drive from the Cabo San Lucas airport. Any suggestions for lodging? Also, we're snorkelers (not scuba divers). Any suggestions for best places? And any recommendations on car rental agencies? Thanks! Erik in Seattle |

Erik in Seattle For snorkeling, don't miss taking a day-trip to Los Isolotes. You can check out some info of mine (though dated) on this at: http://escapist.com/baja/lapaz.htm You might also want to pose this question on the BajaNomad forums.

Cabo San Lucas is like a US party town with singles' bars, congested
traffic and rowdy drinkers. San Jose Del Cabo and La Paz are much greener and quieter resort towns. San Jose has a long, clean and charming main street with loads of good restaurants and Mexican shops. San Jose is definitely a nice resort town with a lot of water recreations. La Paz is more like a fishing town with snorkeling tours to the islands about 20 miles off shore. La Paz has some long shopping streets but not as clean and green as San Jose. For families, I would recommend staying in San Jose and taking buses or taxis to Cabo and La Paz for visits. There are good snorkeling spots at the reefs right off the beach, below the scenic view point, about 1 mile west of San Jose, right below the highway to Cabo. ALong this highway there are many fine beaches and restaurants. There are a lot of surfers on those beaches so you can easily find the right spots. The road from Cabo to La Paz is a narrow 2-lane road through open desert with no shoulder, barely enough room for 2 cars to avoid each other. The probability for accidents is high, and it may take a long time for any help to arrive for any assistance. Buses between Cabo/San jose to La Paz run many times a day. They are cheap, safe and comfortable. Most US Car Rental companies have branches everywhere in Baja. You can get much better rates searching and booking through the internet than local reservations.
