Cabo Pulmo is about 90 minutes N of the Los Cabos airport. The last 10 miles of the road are well-traveled dirt, as are the roads in the village. The place is relatively undeveloped, with perhaps 40-50 total units available. We stayed at the Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort, a collection of cottage condo-type units. These are owned units managed by the complex and available for rent. Our studio-type unit was comfortable and included a queen bed, full kitchen w/refrigerator, stove, some cooking pots and utensils, etc., dining table, large walk-in shower. It had a covered porch with hammock and a rinse-off shower outside by the gate. Hedges gave a nice amount of privacy. No maid service. The water was fine to drink.The thing to do in Cabo Pulmo is diving or snorkeling. We only did the latter. There are three places that offer gear and boat service, running about US$25/person for snorkeling gear and US$50 one tank; US$65 two tank dive, includes guide, tank, weights.Everything is close to the beach. The permanent residents number about 250. There are four restaurants of varying degrees of formality and quality. Nancy's is well regarded by "foodies" who like her shrimp and fish dishes; Tito's is a bar/restaurant, and very basic; Juan's on the beach is informal and simple but good; El Caballero was also very good. Expect to spend US$10+/person/meal. Sodas are US$1. A truck delivers produce etc on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There is some informal camping at the far end of town on the beach, near Juan's.Electricity is not plentiful, only available via solar cells on the roofs or generator. But there is sufficient for regular needs like a blow dryer (bring one if you need it.) Our palm-thatched-roof cottage would have benefited from a ceiling fan, though it did offer a floor fan. (No A/C) Don't bring a lot of clothes, you'll mostly live in your swim suit. It was 85 degrees F and humid during our July visit.The beach near town is variously large fist-sized pebbles/sandy. You can walk up the beach 1-2 miles and find nice sandy stretches and lots of privacy too. It was hard to tell how many visitors were present, but it never was anything close to crowded during our July visit. Expect to see horses and cattle loose in town. No cell phone service; the single phone booth in town was broken; limited email may be available at Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort. (But why would you come all this way to read your email?)Bring a book to leave at Nancy's Restaurant informal book exchange. Bring plenty of pesos or dollars for meals, and/or stop at the big Aramburo Mercado outside the Los Cabos airport and pick up food to bring with you. It is in Santa Rosa, just outside of San Jose del Cabo, on the way to the airport.Mostly, just plan to relax.
