Marilyn: My husband and I (53 and 46 years old) have been to Cabo many times. The last few years we have stayed at the Melia Cabo Real. It's a lovely property with a beautiful pool area. (You will frequently be able to find air/hotel packages with this hotel as a choice.) Even though the hotel is located on the corridor between San Jose and Cabo and is therefore quite a ways from either town, the hotel does run a free shuttle, I believe hourly, into and back from Cabo. <BR> <BR>It is very easy to use the public bus on the highway to reach other beaches and you can walk for miles along the shore from the hotel (towards Cabo). <BR> <BR>Located immediately adjacent to the hotel (on the beach towards San Jose) is one of our favorite restaurants it's just a small beach club under a giant palapa right on the rocky shore. The service is outstanding, food fresh and delicious and the drinks perfect. It's nice because if you don't feel like going into town for dinner it's very easy to walk next door and be treated like something very precious. (They prepare the Caesar sald at your table and is great fun to watch -- also, for a fun show order Spanish Coffee - it's a real production. <BR> <BR>We prefer to stay out on the corridor because Cabo is a bit noisy and overrun with time share sales people nagging you all the time. However, I would suggest dinner at "Peacock" at least one night. Fabulous fresh food the setting is an old bullring, again, outstanding service although the restaurant is a bit pricey. If you order dessert feel free to visit the open kitchen and watch the chef prepare your dessert - again, quite a production and lots of fun to watch. <BR> <BR>By the way, there are lots of activities about the pool for your teenage daughter. The hotel has an activities director that is constantly trolling for participants in pool and sand volleyball games and other pursuits. <BR> <BR>We have also stayed at the Hotel Cabo, I believe your daughter would be bored spitless. Although I've never stayed at Hotel Twin Dolphin, I have visited it and, again, although it's possibilty the aesthetically most appealing property I do believe your daughter would be bored blind. Twin Dolphin and Hotel Cabo both cater more to very financially comfortable middle-aged couples. <BR> <BR>We love Cabo, I hope you enjoy your visit. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>
