Apologies for resurrecting this thread but I have some friends going down to this area next week. They have 3 kids under 6 years old so I said I would check out the real situation from the learned FT members, not the official releases as I want the real poop.
They are actually going to Cabo San Lucas, to the Hacienda Encantada Resort and Spa. Does anyone have any specific info on this resort? Or just any general info on what the area is like now? Are beaches and services open and usuable?
Thanks for the help.

GMCabo200X115 Travel Weekly's Mexico editor Gay Nagle Myers is in Los Cabos to report on the destination’s recovery progress since Hurricane Odile whacked the region on Sept. 14. One sign of progress was that the third annual Los Cabos Film Festival took place on schedule, Nov. 12-16. Here is a bit of Gay’s first report. Link.
CABO SAN LUCAS — Yes, there are some fairly dramatic signs that a major storm slammed through here on Sept. 14. Some big hotels are still closed along the 25-mile tourist corridor that links Cabos San Lucas with San Jose del Cabo, the two major towns that make up the Los Cabos region.
San Jose del Cabo, the quieter, more traditionally Mexican of the two towns, suffered more damage than Cabo with some resorts, such as the Hyatt, One&Only Palmilla, Esperanza and La Ventanas, not slated to open until early or mid-2015.
The Sheraton Hacienda reopened on Nov. 1 and Secrets Puerto Los Cabos officially welcomed guests on Nov. 15, although 113 guests already had checked in several days ahead of that date.

I am still waiting on airport updates, as the interior looked like it needed to be gutted post-hurricane.
Are the airline computers up and running? Windows replaced? Air conditioning? Vendors? Lounge?

Does anyone know the date the Club Regina (Raintree Vacation Club) property is re-opening? The property used to be part of the Westin, but they have since spun off.

Due to the devastation of Hurricane Odile, Club Regina Los Cabos will remain closed through July 1st, 2015. Anyone holding a reservation during this period should return to the vendor through which they originally booked to confirm cancellation and refund procedures.

Went through last week and the airport looks really good. Can see some minor construction still on going.
First time ever arriving in SJD where we had an actual jetway. Departure was via airstairs as usual in the past.
