What is the Real Situation in Los Cabos?

A letter from the Governor of the State of Baja California Sur, addressing the issue of public safety in Los Cabos:


Dear Friends of Los Cabos,
March 19, 2010.

On behalf of the Baja California Sur Public Safety Ministry and the Ministry of Tourism, I would like to take this opportunity to address potential concerns about travel to our destination in light of the recently updated Travel Warning issued by the US State Department.


First and foremost, it is important to note that Los Cabos and the state of Baja California Sur are physically separated from those northern US/Mexico border cities specifically identified within the Travel Warning by the nearly 1000-mile long Baja Peninsula and the Sea of Cortes. This isolated setting protects Los Cabos from the affects of potential criminal activity which may occur in other areas of Mexico and in fact, provides vacationers with a highly sought after sense of “island-like” sanctuary.


Moreover, I am pleased to announce the newly released results of a two year-long study conducted by the Institute of Higher Studies of Monterrey which evaluated tourism offerings throughout Mexico’s 31 states and Federal District.


This comprehensive report ranked Baja California Sur Third in the categories of public safety, tourism services, and transportation infrastructure. Additionally, Baja California ranked First in natural resources and environmental protection, and garnered an overall guest satisfaction index of 97.


Our destination’s natural beauty and “end of the earth” setting has afforded Los Cabos the opportunity to boast some of the world’s most exclusive resorts and tourism attractions. Security is a top priority, not only within these resorts but also throughout all areas of the state. Municipal and state agencies work closely together and are wholly committed to overseeing the safety and well being of our visitors and to offering a flawless travel experience.I encourage anyone further concerned about travel to Los Cabos to visit:


www.visitloscabos.travel and refer to the Safety Q&A.


We look forward to welcoming you to Los Cabos soon so that you may experience the best that Mexico has to offer.

Thank you,

Ing. Narciso Agúndez Montaño

Governor, Baja California

Winner of Hospitality Design (HD) magazine's award for Best Spa, PAZ Body & Mind Spa is where relaxation, aromatherapy and beauty combine to bring you peace for the body, mind and soul.

Unlike the overcrowded spa resorts in Cabo San Lucas, our goal is to help you relax, rejuvenate and revive.

At PAZ Body & Mind Spa peace comes in the form of a wide-ranging host of healing, wellness and pampering treatments in indoor or outdoor settings that Cabo San Lucas spas can't or don't offer. Imagine the relaxation you will feel as a spa specialist eases the stress and tension away with an incredible massage in one of the private beachfront cabanas. The Sea of Cortez, its sapphire surf pounding in the background, takes you to a level of calm and inner peace never before realized - a feeling Cabo San Lucas spa resorts just can't provide.

Unlike the spas in Cabo San Lucas, PAZ offers many different indulgent treatments for you to choose from. Luxurious therapies include our exclusive PAZ Signature Massage where unique aromatherapy oil is drizzled onto pressure points to relax the body before a customized massage of Swedish, Thai and reflexology techniques soothe and relieve. Feel the energy flow throughout your body.

This, and many other personalized massage therapies, skincare, "finishing touches" and exclusive treatments beckon you away from other Cabo San Lucas spas to PAZ?the Zest Lapis, the Papaya Sugar Polish & Shea Butter Massage, the Coconut Aloe Cooling Treatment, the PAZ Natural Glow and the Draining Onyx where you'll escape to a dream-like existence with the healing energy of Onyx. Their names alone conjure images of fascination for all your senses, much more than you would experience at any Cabo San Lucas spas.

- A  50 minutes Massage (Swedish or Signature), 50 minutes Facial, and Manicure & Pedicure for couples  $560 dollars  Regular price $670 dollars

How to survive Los Cabos Airport! a first timers guide to Los Cabos series.

Picture yourself on a plane to cabo….

(Hint: Click on the highlighted words for more information)

The flight attendant tells you: -"we will be arriving to the San Jose del Cabo International airport (SJD) in a few minutes,"- you look out the window and see the vast blue sea waiting for you to swimin, get some fish, ski, surf and get your feet wet , right next to it you can see the ground of Los Cabos, also known as Lands End, a brown canvas spotted with green and pale brown, the desert, you try to spot your  home for the next few days, and to think that such a small place has celebrities homes.

The plane lands, you reach for your carry on bags, getting of the plane as the excitement grabs over you,  plane doors open you step out and, BOOM! You are hit with a heat wave of hot wind, desert wind Cabo weather,  I shouldn’t have brought so many jacket you say to yourself as you walk into the airport building, getting all your papers ready while in line for customs,  people with the sunglasses on, flip flops and ,  you did remember to bring your passport, right?.

Getting your bags is the same as in any other airport, but this one you will get to see bagged surfboards, buggies boards, Loui Vutton bags and some just wrapped in cardboard with a rope. You get your bags and follow the trail out of baggage claim, for another small line where customs has what it looks like a street stoplight with green or red, green means go! Red means you will get your luggage checked, during the inbound flight, you got a customs form (Hacienda). You will hand the form to the customs agent and press the button on what looks like a traffic light. You got green! Now walk to the outside of the SJD airport, where you will get your ride to Cabo Azul, the concierges already took care of your transportation.

You walk out to the baggage claim area and you get smacked by a legion of sales agent trying to get your attention, Car rentals, hotel transportation, busses, it is overwhelming! Unless you like the thrill of negotiating a deal or get into a time share presentation, but luckily you already have transportation so you just walk outside and ask for designated transportation, the great concierges at Cabo Azul will book it for you and they  have your name the list and take good care of you and your luggage.

You take a sit in your transport, the driver is taking care of your luggage, you take a deep breath and it’s time to make a really hard decision.. what are we doing tonight.
