Los Cabos - UPDATE In the aftermath of Hurricane Odile, solid progress is being made every day. We were able to re-establish contact with the resorts yesterday; although communication with Cabo in general remains very poor, the government is working to improve the situation. We thank all our members and guests for your patience and understanding as we work with the authorities to get Los Cabos up and running as quickly as possible. We have appreciated the messages of support and encouragement we are receiving through social media. All the Los Cabos resorts (Villa del Palmar, Villa del Arco, Villa la Estancia) are in very good condition with no injuries reported. We have electricity (through the generator on the resort), water, and sufficient food supplies for all members and guests at the resort. Our first 300 guests have been transported home through a coordinated effort by the resort and government authorities. Over the next 48 hours all guests will return home. The official information is that the airport will start receiving inbound guest in Cabo on the 27th of this month. We recommend anyone with reservations before September 27 contact us at 888-844-8169 so we may assist them in either re-directing them to our Puerto Vallarta resort or re-scheduling their reservation for a date in October or later. It is a slow but steady process of recovery for city services; the government’s top two priorities are: 1) repair and delivery of electrical service (1,500 federal electric company employees have arrived and a barge has delivered poles, towers, and cable supplies to do this work), which will take 15 days, and 2) restoration of the water supply. The government has shipped self-contained generation plants to re-establish the water supply over the next few days. The infrastructure for water distribution is intact; now it is just an issue of electricity to power the pumps. Many of you have expressed a desire to help Los Cabos with donations and have inquired if there are any staff members that need assistance. As we verify the most pressing needs, we will coordinate through UVCI and Villa Group to let members and guests who are willing and able to help know how they may best do so. THANK YOU for your generous offers of support and your sincere wishes of hope for all those affected by Hurricane Odile.
