Perhaps this varies during the different seasons, but when we went to the Villa Del Palmar resort in August the Sea of Cortez was very rough. It was not safe to swim in the Sea at all during our stay. All the literature I had read led us to believe that the Sea was safe, but this was not the case. The undertow was extremely rough and the waves would break around 4-5 feet very close to the shore.

POOL/ACTIVITIES AT THE RESORT:

Most of the activities are for the adults. The activities are going to be good only if the people are joining in and participating in them. The staff does all they can to stimulate the environment, but it's up to you and all the others to make it a fun experience. Believe me, if you don't make the best of it, you're not going to enjoy it. The pools are, well, a pool. Nice pools, but watch out for the pelicans. One liked to drop in and swim with the people. They are pretty scary up close though!

Beautiful, not crowded, cooperative weather year-round. Be careful in the surf and make sure you swim in swimming-safe areas only. Don't kid yourself into thinking that you can handle the surf because you are a good swimmer. You can't. Plus, there are submerged rocks. Do not go into the water unless you are on a "swimming beach."

The abundance of water sports and, at the same time, the privacy allotted to the tourists if needed, makes this an ideal place to vacation. I enjoyed the fact that older adults can enjoy themselves as well as younger children and teenagers because of the variety that Cabo San Lucas offers.

It was absolutely fabulous. The beach was on the gulf and in front of the resort. There was an infinity pool that made you feel like you were off in the ocean.
