Los Cabos is one of Mexico's largest destinations in terms of its layout. This presents some challenges in selecting a hotel, since each area of Los Cabos possesses certain advantages.
Basically there are three areas of concentration. San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas anchor the area's resort strip. The two towns are separated by the Corridor region, a 29 km heavenly stretch of lovely beaches sprinkled with much of the area's new resort development.

SAN JOSE DEL CABO is a pleasant city of meandering streets and lush palm groves, with the languid pace of a colonial village. The area was first visited by Cortes himself in 1535. But it was missionary zeal, not conquistadors, that first brought European civilization to San Jose. A Jesuit mission was built in 1730 to indoctrinate the Pericu Indians of the region. In the nineteenth century San Jose slowly evolved into a modest center of commerce for passing ships. Today it is a town of 40,000 people that has a handsome Municipal Palace, charming courtyard res-taurants, shops, boutiques, and a lovely tropical estuary. The atmosphere here is subdued compared with the more rowdy town of Cabo San Lucas. It appeals to a more mature audience, while Cabo San Lucas attracts more singles and young couples.

Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of the peninsula and about 30 km west of San Jose, is a boom town just beginning to emerge. Dusty streets still prevail in Cabo San Lucas, but don't let that fool you. Cabo San Lucas boasts some fine restaurants, sophisticated shopping, a slick 300- slip marina, and active nightlife. Cabo San Lucas is tops with fishermen, divers, and those wanting to be close to assorted dining and nightlife. Nearby Medano Beach is a heavenly stretch of calm, crystal clear water, and white sand. Just off shore is El Arco - the area's signature landmark, and one of Mexico's most awesome natural wonders.

Between these two towns is THE CORRIDOR REGION, the site of major resort development and some of Baja's most beautiful beaches.
Despite being one of Mexico's most savvy destinations, Los Cabos has remained relatively unknown outside of its primary west coast markets of California and the Pacific Northwest. However, with the fairly recent introduction of non-stop scheduled air service from Seattle, Houston, Phoenix, Chicago and Dallas, and the announcement of direct flights out of New York (CO) and Atlanta (DL), Cabo San Lucas is on its way to becoming a nationwide hit.
