We are looking at the Hacienda San Jose or Hacienda Temozon (www.thehaciendas.com). Does anyone have a preference? Let me know which property and why.

At this moment I have arrived at Chable Yucatan, just outside Merida. I am an old hand with Mexico travel and I am way out of mind ecstatic about this old Hacienda (ranch) carefully restored. More to come.

Safety?
Anyone who has recently been to Cabo felt unsafe? I know there's been some scary issues on the east coast, but wondering if it's a real concern. If so, might audible to Turks...
Also - trying to decide between Chileno Bay, Four Seasons, or Rosewood for a 5 year cancer free few days (wife, no kids). Since FS (and the RC) opened, wondering if anyone has wavered on the rankings of these properties?

More testimony as to Cabo safety. I typically go three times a year and never have felt other safe, very friendly area. If you see someone misbehaving, it’s likely a U.S, college student. Last there April of this year.

Based on recommendations from @KatW and others, I’ve just booked 4 nights in a Master Pool Suite at La Casa Que Canta for Christmas with my girlfriend. It cost less than entry level rooms at unremarkable chain resorts, so it wasn’t a hard decision.
Would appreciate any hints for navigating the hotel or the local neighbourhood if anyone has any.

Will try to write up a proper review shortly. Short summary: The hotel was lovely, both hard and soft product. The pre-arrival communication was terrible and the integration with Hyatt hasn't been worked out yet. Still, a great Christmas.

Wow....I had no idea LCQC ( SLH) was part of an alliance with Hyatt. Is this good or bad?

For me it was good. For one thing I am pretty sure the rate I booked for a Master Pool Suite over Christmas in the Black Friday sale was a mistake and so I got a great deal (no issues with the hotel honouring the rate, but I heard some guests asking why they couldn't get one of our suites). The nights should also bring me to another 10 Hyatt nights which should trigger another 30K points bonus for me - though the stay hasn't automatically posted so I've had to raise it with my concierge. In theory you get a one cat room upgrade (but the only room better than mine was the Owner's Suite) and continental breakfast for free - but I never got around to asking about it and breakfast at the restaurant is just $6-8 depending on what you order anyways.
