Stay in Los Cabos For Up to 35% Off

The Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort is just one hotel in the area offering free nights and hundreds of dollars in resort credits. Above, its pool, captured by 2008 Dream Trip entrant scpyle.

Fall officially started just this week, but we're already seeing deals in a favorite winter destination that start now and last well into 2010—and beyond.

A number of resorts in Los Cabos—the sun-and-golf playground at the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula bookended by the towns of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas—are offering promos that discount their rates by as much as 35% or give free nights and resort credits. After the jump, get the scoop on the specific deals that we like best.
But first, a small caveat: With most of these promotional offers, there's a beginning nightly room rate that's slightly higher—by about $50—than the beginning standard rate that you'd be able to score without the promotion. But after free nights and hundreds of dollars in resort credits, you'll still end up with significant savings on your stay.

Also note: When you book these free-night-stay promos online, it is common to get a final price that charges you for all nights of your stay. Not to worry: Your free night(s) will be deducted upon check out.

(1) Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort is a rarity in the area of wave-tossed shores: A hotel with a sandy beach off gentle waters you can swim in. Now you can stay three nights and get a fourth night free, and for every two nights, get $100 in resort credits. Rates vary depending on the length and season of your stay, but from October 1 through December 20, 2009, a four-night stay costs $916 (after taxes and fees), and includes kids' meals and $200 in resort credits.

Dates: Now through December 17, 2010.

How to Book: Go to the resort's Special Offers page and look for the Fun in the Sun package.

(2) Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa is an all-inclusive resort, so meals, drinks, and activities come with the $335 per-night rate (including taxes and fees). And now every third night is free, as is every third paid-for extra such as a massage or a bottle of wine.

Dates: Now through April 30, 2010.

How to Book:
Go to the resort's Current Promotions page and look for the 1-2-Free Package.

(3) Longtime Condé Nast Traveler readers may be familiar with Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Golf & Spa Resort—it ranked on the magazine's Gold List of best places to stay in 2004, 2005, and 2006 and ranked in the Top Golf Resorts Poll in 2006. The resort is giving one free night and $200 in food and drink credits for every four-night stay, or two free nights and $300 in food and drink credits for every seven-night stay, and a room upgrade upon check-in if it's available.

Dates: Book now through December 22, 2009 for travel through December 20, 2010.

How to Book:
Go to the resort's Special Offers page and look for the Sensational Savings in Mexico promotion.

(4) Pueblo Bonito Oceanfront Resorts and Spas has four locations in Los Cabos, and is cutting 35% off room rates at all of them. What you pay will vary depending on when you go and how long you stay, but you'll get more than a third off your room. For example, we looked at booking an ocean view double at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat & Spa and got a rate of $239 a night (after fees and taxes) in October, versus the $355 you'd normally pay.

Dates: Book now through January 31, 2011

How to Book:
Go to the Pueblo Bonito Resorts' Web site and click on the special offer to "book now and save 35%"
