The perfect holiday..........10 days in Cancun and fly straight to Cabo for another 10 days!!! :angel1: December 1st to 15th 2011, BUTT SHOTS!!!
As for New Orleans...I have to pick my vacation time 1 full year in advance and missed this great week you all have planned by just 1 week....Oh well. Probably saved us a tremendous hangover or a stay in the local jail....Color us as just plain jealous....!
one of the things that t and i loved more about cabo than cancun which i have failed to mention in previous posts is the fact that......... when we have gone to cancun in the spring - when we are sitting we around outdoors or at lunch we are sweating liek stuck pigs (this does not include whne we are actually moving around) in cabo we can sit down at lunch and enjoy our meal with an incredible view and a nice breeze coming off the ocean .........the nights are so mild/cool you can sit around and just simply enjoy the evening instead of feeling like you need a shower every five minutes rob
Went to Cabo in July 10 and Cancun in July 11. Random thoughts. 1) It is probably 10 degrees hotter in Cabo in July on average. More conducive to night time activities. I personally like the cooler weather in Cancun but this is not an overriding consideration. The weather is obviously dependent on the time of year that you travel - hurricanes are a bigger threat in Cancun. 2) You can't swin in the ocean (Sea of Cortez) in Cabo unless you are Michael Phelps. But the beach in Cabo really isn't that good either. We did head down to Cabo San Lucas to do the water sports but it is a fairly expensive cab ride. Anyway, you don't go here for the beach. It is nice having the party cruise dock right next to the Cancun property. 3) Paty' O is a far better bar/club at night with DJ etc. but the rooftop hot tub at Cabo is really hard to beat. The hot tub is truly a wonderful thing. I wonder why they don't have this in Cancun? Maybe too many people around to make it work. 4) This probably changes as employees come and go but I think the activities staff at Cabo is better - more enthusiastic and more going on - the tatted up guy at Cancun is a real MF ahole in my opinion but your mileage may vary. 5) Probably an older crowd at Cabo - depends on what you are looking for. 6) Cabo obviously has more of a west coast vibe - Cancun has more Euros and east coast types. Depends on what you are looking for. 7) Airport experience/transfers are better at Cabo. Probably only matters if you are doing a short trip and want to maximize time on the ground. 8) Having the Mega store and shopping mall and ATM machines across the street from Cabo is a big plus. Also you are like a 20 peso cab ride from town (San Jose). The Cancun Hotel Zone is more isolated. 9) Pools choice is better at Cancun - 3 vs. 1. 10) Much better club scene available at Cancun. Not my thing but matters to some. 11) I found more swinging/swapping at Cabo but your mileage may vary. Maybe the harder core types in Cancun go to Desire. 11) The biggest difference is the size - if you are at Cancun and you can't find like minded people you aren't really trying. At Cabo there are fewer people so there is a greater chance (still not real great) that you could be stuck on a dud week. I suggest you try both out for size and see what happens. Bottom line they are pretty similar in vibe and are both a blast.
