Use Comparison Sites to Find the Best Deal

If you haven't checked out a travel comparison site, then you're missing out on one of the easiest ways to save. Looking through a site like Kayak.com will help you compare the hotel, resort, flight and more between all of the major online travel sites to find the cheapest deals.

You can also opt for flight specific websites like HipMunk to not only get the cheapest flight, but also flights ranked by how comfortable the flight is with connections and other factors taken into consideration.

Take Advantage of Travel Coupons and Promotion Codes

Searching for a coupon or promo code for the website you're using to book your Cabo vacation can save you big. A site like Travelocity usually has promo codes for vacations where you can get a couple hundred dollars off your total vacation package. You should also review other travel sites such as Hotels.com.

These sites often offer coupons where you not only get discounts but are eligible for free gifts. It's a no-brainer to search for a few travel coupons before you checkout as it's an easy way to save a few dollars.

Bundle Your Cabo Vacation and Save

When booking your vacation to Cabo San Lucas, you can create significant savings by bundling the entire package together. This means, instead of booking your flight in one place and the hotel directly, you can instead book them together on one of the many travel sites.

These sites will often give you up to 30% off your total when you book the hotel and flight together. Some will also provide an even larger discount when you include tickets for activities and events in your bundle. The way to get the best deal is to compare multiple sites until you find the largest discount.

Check Out Daily Deal and Flash Sale Travel Sites

Recent additions in the travel industry to help you save on your next vacation can be found in daily deals and flash sale sites. By checking out sites like Groupon, LivingSocial, JetSetter and others, you might find travel deals for Cabo for up to 50% off the regular price.

You might not have as much flexibility when using this method, but you can save big and usually stay in one of the nicer resorts in the Cabo San Lucas area as many area hotels are included on daily deal sites.

Take Advantage of Membership Deals and Discounted Rates

If you are someone who is a member of AARP or AAA or similar organization, there are numerous deals available for hotels and resorts around the world, including many Cabo resorts. To take advantage of these deals, you simply go to the organization’s official website to find which hotels are included in their network.

Generally, these organizations only have relationships with major chain hotels but you can find a few Cabo hotels included that aren't from the major chains. Take some of the stress out of your travel planning and budget by taking advantage of a few easy ways to save.

Playa del Amor, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur

Es bien sabido que en México están algunas de las mejores playas del mundo. Además,  es fácil encontrar buena gastronomía y vida nocturna.

Escondido detrás del símbolo más famoso de Cabo San Lucas, El Arco, se encuentra Playa del Amor (solo accesible por barco). Esta playa es la más famosa de Cabo San Lucas, no sólo porque posee una fina arena y cristalinas aguas color azul, sino porque su vecindad con el afamado arco de Cabo san Lucas, su entorno desértico, donde finaliza la península, rodeado de cactus, le confieren una intimidad peculiar. Este sitio es ideal para quien gusta de tomar el sol, nadar y bucear, sobre todo por las aguas tranquilas del lado del puerto.

Además, un fascinante fenómeno marino ocurre en estas aguas de diciembre a febrero: la migración que, desde el norte, llevan a cabo año con año las ballenas para parir en las aguas de la Península de Baja California. 

Durante dicho periodo tendrás la oportunidad de observar a las ballenas nadando con sus crías.

Como llegar

  • La Playa del Amor se localiza junto al arco de roca que marca el fin de la Península, a dos aguas, entre el Océano Pacífico y el Mar de Cortés.

  • La localidad más cercana a la playa es San José del Cabo, que se encuentra a 33 km, que se recorren en aproximadamente 25 minutos.

  • Desde La Paz, capital del estado, la distancia por carretera es de 152 km, con un tiempo de recorrido de 2 horas.


Actividades

  • Las actividades que puedes llevar a cabo en la Playa del Amor son prácticamente los deportes acuáticos, la observación de la naturaleza, tomar el sol, nadar, caminar por las rocas y visitar el arco.

  • Desde luego que también podrás visitar los innumerables atractivos que la ciudad de Cabo San Lucas te ofrece.


Recomendaciones

La mejor época para visitar la playa es en verano y otoño. Así que aprovecha este verano para venir a conocer esta hermosa playa.
