As most know, there was a local turf war waged in Los Cabos for local retail sales during 2016 and 2017.  That came to a complete end the third week of January, 2018, after the Mexican government had brought in literally several thousand Federal Police, Mexican Navy (like U.S. Marines) and Army personnel.  They completely cleaned it up.  The U.S. State Department then reduced the Travel Advisory to Los Cabos to Level 2, which is “exercise caution”, the exact same level as Germany, England, and Denmark.  Unfortunately there has been much misinformation and people have thrown Cabo in with the more dangerous parts of Mexico that are still on a higher level Travel Advisory.  It would be like, “I’m not going to Miami because there is violence in Chicago”.  Like the U.S., Mexico is a very, very big country.  Further, Los Cabos is like an island at the end of an 800 mile long peninsula, insulated from the rest of Mexico.  It wouldn’t be on Forbes’ top 18 travel destinations list if it wasn’t.

Honestly, I would walk anywhere at night in San Jose Del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas except deeper into the barrios.  It’s safer than some areas in for example, Santa Ana, CA or Costa Mesa, CA, which are 10-20 minutes from our home in Newport Beach.  It’s common sense; you just don’t go to certain parts of town.  Anyone who lives in a big city understands how that works.

Cabo is booming, hitting an all time high in first quarter, 2018, continuing to increase 14%+ annually, and for good reason.  In the last few years, the number of 5 Star hotels that have come on-line in Los Cabos is crazy.  The traditional big 3 were The One&Only Palmilla, Las Ventanas, and Esperanza (an Auberge Du Soleil resort).  Since then, the following have opened: Montage, Chileno Bay (another Auberge), The Cape (A Thompson Hotel), Viceroy, and J.W. Marriott.  This list doesn’t even include several 4+ Star hotels that have opened.  In 2019, a Caesars Palace will open, 5 miles east of Casa La Laguna=20 minutes from SJDC.  And in 2019, the following 5 Stars will be opening: Four Seasons, Aman, Ritz Carlton Reserve (1/4 mile down the beach from CLL!), and Nobu, among others.  The existing 5 Stars are already enjoying excellent occupancy.  Don’t think for a second that these brands would have invested if Cabo wasn’t ultimately going to be safe, nor that they would already be enjoying such high occupancy if it wasn’t safe.  Celebrities visit and billionaires have homes here.

Security is absolutely outstanding in Los Cabos.  I am very good friends with the owner of the biggest and best security company in Los Cabos.  I see him most every month when I’m in Cabo.  I am always 100% up to date on the security situation because of that friendship.  It’s todo bien in Los Cabos all the way around!  Come on down!!

We are the ONLY 6 bedroom villa ON the beach in all of Los Cabos that is full service.  It would cost $500+ to outsource these services, with no guarantee of quality.  With an amazing gourmet chef and assistant chef for all meals, wonderful in-villa butler, truly world class masseuse Tina managing our in-villa spa, in-villa concierge services, and airport transfers included, this is a truly amazing value!
