Cabo San Lucas:The Benefits of Staying in the Hotel Corridor

Steven Michael
Being on vacation means you are trying to get away from something. More times than not, you are trying to get away from the stresses of work and the daily grind. That is why when you travel to Cabo San Lucas, the best decision is to stay in the Hotel Corridor. It gives you more options, it's quieter, and it is close enough to head into the party if you choose to.

Cabo San Lucas has definitely become one of the hot spots for travelers, especially 25 and under travelers. The first time I traveled to Cabo San Lucas I understood why. It offers some beautiful landscape, with endless shoreline, and activities galore. Plus, being in Mexico helps keep some of the prices down.

Cabo is alo known for the nightlife. This usually means bars get rowdier, louder, and people are out later. This is often a case for many older people not to travel to a destination. But the one nice thing about Cabo is that you can actually stay out of the nightlife if you choose. But this means staying in the Hotel Corridor, which can be anywhere from 5-30 minutes to downtown Cabo. Although this might seem like a long trip, it is well worth it.

When I was on vacation there, we stayed in a beautiful hotel in the Corridor. It was so nice to wake up in the morning and hear the waves crashing on the shore instead of "Hotel California" blasting from the beach bar that never closes. Staying too close to downtown Cabo, means the party never stops. And I know some people prefer that, but for me I like to have a nice mix. I like to have the choice to hear the blaring dance music at night or the top 40 music playing throughout the day. Plus, I love a good hotel.

This is what staying in the Hotel Corridor will allow. Most of the hotels in the Corridor are the newest in Cabo. Expansive hotels with beautiful rooms, plus all the amenties you could ever ask for. We were even able to have a quiet dinner on the beach without having to worry if some drunk person was going to walk up to our table and ask if he could finish our meal. Each of the hotels are destinations in themselves and you won't have to go anywhere else if you choose not to. My wife and I chose to spend a couple days quietly at the hotel and a few days more in the party scene downtown. This is the luxury you are afforded.

I love day tripping to downtown Cabo and San Jose del Cabo. Cabo has several safe areas to swim in the ocean, lots of restaurants, bars, shops, and of course activities. We went snorkeling one day and finished the trip with a visit to lover's beach. It is definitely an area that you wouldn't want to miss when heading to Cabo. But the feeling of getting in the taxi and heading back to a quiet hotel was what my tired body wanted every night.

Vacation is supposed to be just that. A vacation. Otherwise they would call it partying. A vacation should be full of choices and offer a chance to refresh the mind and body. Heavy bass beats for some reason don't do that for me. So, travel to Cabo, enjoy the beauty and activities during the day, then go back to the Hotel Corridor for a quiet night cap.
