At this point we're not going anywhere. You had better check whether or not you can even get into Mexico. There has been talk they'd like to close the borders, and in fact the one between Arizona and Sonora has been closed.

The facebook pages for Villa Group has posts from people in Cabo right now. It looks fine.

I would be concerned about being able to cross the borders. I think Americans will be stuck inside our own country for quite some time....
We had thought about Cancun in October (had a reservation for mid-May which was cancelled; this is from a preview package purchased in late fall 2017, LOL!) but now who knows.

The border is open. Flights are happening from LA to Cabo everyday.

I’m flying down August 30. I was just talking to a friend Yesterday who is driving down south of Ensenada today to go fishing.

With all the rioting here, Mexico is likely safer.

Be very careful on the plane, airport. In a timeshare you do not have to eat at a restaurant if you do not want. Enjoy!

Fantastic stay!
I was a bit nervous about travel during Covid, but the hotel took the situation with extreme caution and care. Temperature checks were mandatory, including the staff. The face shields were prevalent. The hotel did a wonderful job of removing chairs from the pool, tables from the restaurant, and ensuring the entire experience was as safe as possible.

Compared to where I live, the precautions were a nice change. Each restaurant on or off property took similar measures, making the trip stress free.

I wanted to start there, because I know that others have reviewed the view, food, staff, and location. All of which are amazing. I just felt that if you were on the fence about travel, this hotel needs to be at the top of your list for a safe and relaxing experience.

So glad we kept our trip
We second guessed coming for this trip as we were traveling from the US and we naturally concerned about safety traveling during this pandemic. But we are so glad we came. We honestly feel safer and feel like everyone here is doing everything they can to provide a safe and still welcoming experience to Cancun. This is not our first visit to Lagunamar and it is definitely different but that’s just 2020 I guess. From the airport, to the hotel, grocery store and multiple restaurants off property we feel totally safe here. From multiple temperature checks, sanitizing of luggage and shoes, the masks, face shields and gloves of every server we have encountered and everyone just keeping their distance in the pool and resort we are so glad we didn’t cancel. Looking forward to our next visit!

Be sure to tip for good service. That is their primary source of income. The employees have really struggled the past few months.

I was told by some employees that only 45-50% occupancy will be allowed for the rest of 2020.

Lagunamar only

I am planning on going to Cabo mid-August. The resort informed us they will be at 40% capacity. We are flying Alaska Air with no middle seats. I saw an article yesterday (no source-sorry) that said the airport arrivals were less than 10% of pre-pandemic levels, so not a lot of tourists around. While we might not be spending a lot of time on bus excursions with groups of people right now I feel pretty comfortable going. Of course, that all may change in a month. Or a day.

Have a great trip. Be safe!

We're going to Lagunamar in August based on first-hand feedback I received from a colleague at work who stated basically he felt safer from COVID in Mexico than in the States.

Since OP asked specifically about going to Cabo, I want to share my daughter & son-in-law's experience of flying from LAX to Cabo on Alaska Airlines two weeks ago. Everything about the flight, Cabo airport, trip to their resort (Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach), and their week's stay went perfectly. They felt totally safe and all safety protocols were being followed everywhere. There weren't a lot of people there but I've read that the number of visitors is picking up. Our other daughter joined them for the last three days of their stay and she had a similar great experience flying in from San Diego.

Ok, with things getting bad in CA, I think we are leaning towards not going...thanks all!
