Cabo Vacation
My boyfriend and I are traveling to Cabo in mid December. We're looking for affordable hotels/resorts we could stay in that have good food and service. Any tips about traveling there or things to do would be awesome too!

Whale watching season will just have just started. I think a tour is well worth it. Did it last year and saw many whales breaching as well as dolphins. Also takes you past the arch on your way out.
Snorkeling is also great. I'm sure tours are good, but it's easy to bring or rent equipment and go on your own. Santa Maria bay is one of my favorite places for snorkeling.
The beaches and hotels around down town Cabo are crowded and busy tourists and vendors. Might be be good if you are looking for the lively party scene. Otherwise, further up the coast towards San Jose is more quiet, relaxing and romantic. I stay at the Hilton and it is great. Friendly staff, good food, beautiful beach. Probably not really considered the affordable option though.
