KFWB, 980 AM, Los Angeles: Deal of the Week . . . It's Cabo!

Admit it, you deserve a break.  Somewhere along a beach where world-class golf courses are just a nine-iron away from your hotel . . . where the drinks are tropical, and the nights are, too.

You deserve a little Cabo.

It's no secret that Mexico's tourism numbers took a hit when swine flu came on the scene, but now it's here and we're dealing with it and and hopefully getting beyond it.  The Los Cabos tourist board is pulling out all stops with an almost resort-wide discounting of room prices and heaps of extras for visitors, at least until Dec. 17th, though many deals run into the new year, as well.

Some examples from the tourist board's web site:

• At the Cabul Azul resort, book six nights and get 20% off on your entire stay through Dec. 17.
• The Hilton Cabos Beach & Golf Resort gives you every third night free.  Plus a $100 resort credit if you stay three nights, $200 if you stay four or five nights, and $300 if you stay six or more nights.  But wait, there's more: Kids under 12 eat free from the kids' menu if accompanied by an adult.  Good through Dec. 17, with rooms starting at $269 a night.
•  The Marquis Los Cabos offers a family package rate that begins at $215 per person, per night for two junior suites or private pool casitas plus a rental car, yoga classes, daily breakfast delivered to your rooms, one dinner for six people, and a spin on the resort's yacht for a snorkeling or sunset trip.  Daily taxes, tips and resort fees are included in your room rate.  

And even the area's priciest resorts are offering deals.  The One & Only Pamilla, for example, offers a package that knocks 30% off your rate if you stay four nights.  Plus, continental breakfast is on the house and transport to and from the airport.  The summer deal that expires soon throws in two rounds of golf, and a $400 resort credit you can spend toward spa services, food, or more golf.

So do your homework, and then reap the rewards.
