4. Offsite Attractions

Restaurant, Bars and Shops

Most local businesses will be open, while limiting their capacity to maintain social distancing guidelines. They have also incorporated new protocols for safe hygiene measures.

Masks are not mandatory once in Cabo but you will need to bring a mask for the flight.

Many airlines will require masks for flying, and some workers around the city may be expected to wear masks and gloves depending on the services provided. However, guests are not expected to have to wear masks while practicing social distancing standards.

Golf Courses

Most local courses will be open and will also be sanitizing rental equipment more thoroughly.

Excursions; Water Sports, Snorkeling, Motor Carts, etc.

Many excursion trips and activities will resume but they are recommending you book in advance since they need to plan accordingly due to new capacity guidelines.

5. Cancellation Policies

Airlines

Most airlines have waived fees for re-bookings required due Coronavirus concerns, however not all are offering refunds. Instead, if you need to cancel your flight, most airlines will provide vouchers towards future travel versus money back. However, as airlines start increasing their schedules with travel bans being lifted, I recommend checking the cancellation policies before booking, as these policies are changing daily.

Hotels

Now that hotels are opening up, many are offering great prices. Although, with many of these outstanding promotions, hotels are making these deals non-refundable. Some hotels are still offering 24-hour cancellation policies. But since these policies vary by hotel and can change by the day, I would recommend reading all the fine print or calling to confirm their policies before booking.
