Although it has now been downgraded to a tropical storm, Odile made landfall in Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas as a Category 3 hurricane on Monday. No deaths were reported, but over 100 people were treated for minor injuries, and numerous residents and tourists were displaced and forced to seek cover in various hotels. Some hotels, however, did not fare so well. The luxurious Hilton resort suffered major damage and lost power, while the neighboring Melia Cabo Real (pictured to the left) also lost power and sustained damage such as blown out windows and doors. The Los Cabos International Airport is closed until further notice. Hurricane-prone destinations can offer some pretty tempting rates during high hurricane season, but always keep your safety in mind first. Check out some of our favorite hurricane-proof locales.
