Relaxing at Sirena del Mar, Cabo San Lucas

A series of pools on the cliffside.  Jacuzzi is on the right 
One of several lounge decks at  Sirena del Mar.  Two more decks step down from this deck.

August and September are slow months in Cabo San Lucas, undoubtedly due to the heat and humidity.  That does not mean you can't completely relax, especially at one of the many resorts lining the Sea of Cortez.  We had selected Sirena del Mar as our resting spot, which is part of Welk Resorts, and is part time-share and part hotel.
View from our hotel of El Arco (with a little camera zoom). 
It is perched on a cliff with a view of the iconic El Arco, a natural rock arch that divides the Sea of Cortez from the Pacific.  While other resorts have more total pool area, Sirena del Mar has just two pools and a jacuzzi.  But both pools are infinity pools that look out on a beach and rocky shoreline. The larger pool, kept at the temperature of bathwater, ends at a convenient swim up bar, where you can get a Cabopolitan and other inventive drinks.  Some guests never seem to leave the pool, except perhaps to play put-put golf poolside, led by an enthusiastic hotel employee. (The golf ball is replaced with limes, and if you make the shot, you get a free margarita).

A tropical storm has just passed through, so it is still overcast and the pool is deserted.
We switched rooms on our last day, so had a chance to check out different types of rooms.  All lend themselves to complete relaxation, with couch, dining table, kitchenette and bedroom.  Below is a shot of Steven and the boys after we had just arrived from the airport. Note how rest and relaxation has begun.
