Year after year, more people begin to see the value of vacation rentals in Los Cabos over resorts, 
not only in terms of potential savings, but as an important (perhaps the most important) ingredient in a better, more enjoyable, and more memorable overall vacation experience.
The pandemic conditions of the past year have only highlighted some of the biggest attractions of the vacation rental experience – namely, privacy and safety, which these days go hand in hand – but there are many reasons if you love Los Cabos as a destination and always stayed in resorts, you may want to rethink your vacation getaway strategy.
Here are three of the most compelling…
Bigger is Better, Especially When Bigger May Also Be More Affordable
The size of the average hotel/resort room is about 400 square feet. The size of the average vacation rental is 2,000 square feet. Even if you’ve upgraded to a suite or even a penthouse, chances are your hotel or resort accommodations are going to be significantly smaller than that of a modestly sized rental property…not to mention the size of the average luxury villa. For a single night stay, this sort of vacation upgrade may not make sense financially. But over the course of a week or more, the rates are apt to be very similar, if not more affordable in favor of the larger property.
That being the case, why wouldn’t you choose vacation rentals in Los Cabos?
Better Fit, Better Location
Whether you’re traveling with that special someone, with your kids, with extended family, or with a group of friends for a destination golf or fishing trip, vacation rentals in Los Cabos offer far more options than resorts in terms of finding the right fit. For a couple, perhaps an ocean view penthouse condo is the perfect choice. For a family or larger groups, perhaps a beachfront home is preferred, or a luxury villa with commanding Land’s End views. With vacation rentals, it’s not just the size that’s optional, but the amenities and the location…which can be tailored to your personal vacation plans. With resorts, your only real option is more rooms.
For instance, say you’re on a fishing or golfing themed outing with another couple. Not only can you find a property proximate to your daily activity of choice (say, fishing boats in the Cabo San Lucas Marina, for example, or Cabo del Sol’s excellent golf courses), you can find one with complementary amenities. For instance, a large kitchen where your private chef can prepare the daily catch to order; or a jacuzzi to soothe back and shoulders after 18 holes of golf.
The options are nearly endless.
More Privacy Equals More Safety
It probably goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: the world has changed in the past 12 months. Even as vaccination numbers surge and life gets safer, the lessons we’ve learned are likely to be with us for some time to come. Namely, that as much as possible, you should practice social distancing.
Certainly in the short term, this is a smart strategy to protect yourself and people you love. That said, “vacation rentals in Los Cabos” become the obvious choice, because even the most intimate boutique hotel or exclusive luxury resort is going to bring you into contact with many people you don’t know. It’s inevitable.
This is not to promote fear. Los Cabos was the first destination on the Pacific Coast to qualify for the Travel Safety Stamp from the World Travel and Tourism Council, and the destination as a whole is committed to the safety of visitors…from airport arrivals to protocols at shops, restaurants, bars and beaches.
But just as a private jet is preferable to a commercial airliner, there’s no question that vacation rentals in Los Cabos offer an extra level of privacy, and therefore, an extra level of safety and security.
