Answer 2

Hola.  Well technically August is pretty well the worst time to come to Cabo.  It is so freaking hot here I can barely stand it...everything just kinda shuts down and not very many people venture out into the heat.  Weird thing is, all the californians LOVE to come here during the summer.  I find that so weird personally.  They frolick and sunbath and carry on.  So, it is starting to get kinda busy at this time of the year.

I have been down here for almost all of the hurricanes that have blown through over the years.  Seriously...its not a big deal.  They blow through in 1 or 2 days with lots of notice for us, and then life carrys on as normal.  Some can damage houses and roadways, and of course the power is off for a while, but its actually not that bad.  Any hotel you stay in has a contingency plan and you will be looked after really well.  The only time it has been horrible, is when we had that Category 5 hit....then it was almost a month before things got better.  No worries love.  Come down and enjoy your trip.  Don't drink the water after heavy rains, and don't swim in the ocean after heavy rains.  Other than that have fun!

Answer 3

August is beginning of tourist season full force, we were there last July and it was pretty busy, but was told by hotel gets worse up to end of September...

just take some good walking shoes, is a nice place to go..

book hotel now, so you wont have to take leftovers,

we booked 7 mos before we went and got guaranteed rates and the suite had a balcony with a great view and was only 789.00 a night, which would have been 1200.00 a night had we not booked and locked in our rate.....
