The point is to be check out the onions and see if there is an ongoing pattern at the hotel, people complaining of diarrhea could mean the buffet is
in question, people getting home and finding credit card has been run up from a possible inside job, rooms being broken into, if it is loud and
noisy, dirty and unkept, hidden charges appearing on your bill. I do key word searches such as beware and dont stay there.
No resort is 100 percent, a rave review is as suspect as a bad one.
If something is going down in a hotel then it usually appears under a scam, fraud, beware, don't stay search on the property.
It is common sense and tips you off to possible problems.

A. There has not been 95 0/0 occupancy in San Lucas for a long time. Time share or not.
B. It used to take 8 years to be a Choyero in Cabo, I guess everyone is on the fast track now.
C. Crime in Cabo. Everyone has their own experiances and opinions. I have wandered the streets of Cabo drunker than 400 indians(no offense) since
1981 3am, 4.am whatever. I have known every bartender and half the workers in every "sin city" local in Cabo from the opening night of Toro Bravo to
El Tenampa, El Faro, etc and never ever had a problem. If you look for a problem anywhere you will likely find one. Give me the streets of Cabo
anytime...........

Walking around drunker than a skunk at any time is not recommended, at any hour, especially an a.m. hour for any visitor to any resort. To me that
is inviting trouble.
However maybe that you live there you are not considered prey.
Most of my research shows cabos crime is around rooms being robbed, credit card numbers being run without the owners knowledge, police shakedowns,
and timeshare fraud , the last could easily be avoided by a google search on timeshare fraud in mexico , everything one needs to know. Smart tourists
know not to wear jewelery, carry a purse, or to use their credit cards for purchases, as well as not to be out on the streets at night alone to avoid
problems of theft . Well as far as the police shakedowns I have no recommendations there. It pays to be cautious.
Petty crime is up all over the world everywhere the tourists go , I googled up what were considered some safe places to travel a few years back and
noticed the number of cautions on muggings and thefts increasing.
What was interesting about the report I posted was that it was a reported mugging that occurred in a fairly public place with people around.
There are worse things that await than you think: p.s keep scrolling past the ads for the entire story

Average? No. In certain hotels for an extended period of time? Yes.

I qualify by your definition.

Not recommended, but to each his own.

Check my earler post. I asked a person who owns a business right at the scene. She has heard nothing about it. I'm calling this unreported (to the
police), unsubstantiated by any witnesses, BS. The stolen float plane is BS too. The person who reported this event might have had more credibility
if they did not add on the story about the float plane.

Anyone recall another "Cabo incident" that was posted here many months ago? As I recall, some people were mugged while walking around, were so upset,
they didn't go the the police; didn't even return to their hotel for their stuff, but just headed to the airport, which as I recall would not have
been open at that time of night. I dunno. Pages were written on that. But similar to this tale, nothing but speculation.
