I've been warned that Cabo is a lot like LA.
Might look at the less touristy cities in Baja like La Paz or Loreto, or a calmer touristy city like Puerto Vallarta.
Depends on what you want though.

Cabo is one of our favorite places. As wild as you want, or as quiet as you want. Beautiful golf courses as well. I've not been diving there, but did have a lot of fun. Stayed at the Fiesta Americana. It was very nice.

ATV rides along the beach, horse back rides along the beach, parasailing, rent jet skiis, kayak to Los Arcos, go fishing for marlin, take a water taxi panga to Lover's Beach, go snorkeling, go to the Office and just walk around Cabo. Go to Da Giorgios for sunset and have a drink on their patio. Drive to Todos Santos and go to Art & Beer. The diving is pretty good, not like Caribbean but lots of fish, rays and eels, not much for soft coral plus the vis is just ok (60 ft if you are lucky) but it's worth it to get wet. My favourite thing to do is try out new restaurants; Edith's, Panchos, Sea Queen (desserts are awesome), Galeon, Puerto Viejo, Mariscoes Mazatlan, Solomans (for lunch) and Da Giorgio's. Have fun!
spent almost two weeks in cabo a few years ago. it's a fun place and a good balance of night life and other stuff. if you're looking for a dive vacation, cabo is probably not the best. the diving was cool, but not too many sites and the water is a little chilly. if you're looking for an all around balance vacation it's a great place. lots of good food and stuff to do.
one morning my buddy and i paid a water taxi $20 to take us out at like 6AM and we just trolled back and forth and caught three bonita tuna!! we gave him two and kept one. we took that one to a sushi chef and he prepared it in several different ways. it was FANTASTIC.
i'm planning a trip in that direction in sept, but this time it's an all diving trip, so we're going to head up to la paz. anyway, good luck with the planning.

I'll second the suggestion for you to make the drive to Todos Santos. Funky little town.

Cabo is great. I liked the dives I was able to do, but when Ivan came calling they canceled the dives I had planned. Lots of activities just don't put two on the 4 wheeler ATVs....
