The package includes flights on Continental Airlines to San Jose del Cabo and a three-night stay at the all-inclusive InterContinental Presidente Los Cabos Resort. It's located in the tourist town of San Jose del Cabo, which centers around a marina thronged with tourists, yacht owners, and sport fishermen. Note that Continental Airlines Vacations does not highlight this Los Cabos package on its website. Book it instead by using the site's menus to select your airport, your destination of Los Cabos (airport code SJD), and the InterContinental Presidente Los Cabos Resort. Be aware that the majority of the resort's 390 rooms allow smoking. If you prefer a non-smoking room, you'll need to make your reservation by phone and ask the sales agent to make this special request.

The package also includes the 15-minute airport/resort transfers and all meals and drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic).

Baja has sunny weather for much of the year. Its high temperatures average 80 Fahrenheit between now and April. Before you go, check out the current forecast by clicking here. (Find the exchange rate and local time at BudgetTravelOnline).
