You're probably not still down there, but there is a native bulb, Behria tenuiflora
, that grows all over the place around the Cabo area from sea level up into the mountains. They probably don't plant them at the resorts, but I've heard from several people who've driven around there that they're not rare and have often found seeds of it on plants by the sides of the highways. Here's a map of some places where it has been found.

Bummer I didn't post this sooner! I might have had a chance to look for these near our resort as we weren't far from the road, and also had wild-ish native plant areas near the resort.
