A big feature of living in Mexico is that domestic help is relatively cheap compared to countries in the Western world. In Los Cabos it's common to pay around US$25 to a person (usually a woman) who will come and clean your apartment, iron clothes and if you're willing to pay a bit extra, cook as well.
For expatriates often the most important starting references upon arriving in a foreign country are expatriate clubs and associations. Some of the most important are the American Society along with the DAR, the International Friendship Club, and Rotary International. American Society acts as a large umbrella organization harboring smaller clubs and associations that are based on particular fields of interest.

Despite the development of tourism in Los Cabos, the health system is yet to catch up and facilities are really only equipped to deal with simple to moderate medical problems.
Today there is world-class dining and a semblance of a society scene amongst the great and good that have purchased multi-million dollar homes in Los Cabos. The area is very different from other Mexican beach destinations because of its geography and its relative isolation from the Mexican “mainland”.
Los Cabos includes the city San José del Cabo, and the town, Cabo San Lucas. It has a population of around 120,000 people, about a quarter of the total population of the state. The climate is dry Mediterranean and the average annual temperature is a balmy 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
