 # Cabo Price Watch - 2026-06-04

 - Checked the `2027-02-03` through `2027-02-07` trip window.
- Direct browser-control navigation was blocked in this session for the major travel domains, so this run used live indexed snippets and public result pages to refresh the set.
- Biggest hotel floor moves versus the previous snapshot: Breathless Cabo San Lucas dropped to about `$381/night` (`$1,524` for 4 nights), Grand Fiesta Americana to about `$212/night` (`$848` for 4 nights), Hyatt Ziva to about `$314/night` (`$1,256` for 4 nights), and Secrets Puerto Los Cabos to about `$308/night` (`$1,232` for 4 nights).
- Budget-friendly standalone room floors are still visible at Solmar Resort about `$158/night`, Grand Solmar Land's End about `$138/night`, and Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos about `$244/night`, while the luxury ceiling now shows Grand Velas Los Cabos around `$1,135/night`.
- Flights also moved down in the live route floors: LAX to SJD is about `$269` roundtrip on KAYAK and ONT to SJD is about `$292` roundtrip on KAYAK.
- Package floors are now well populated for comparison: Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas is about `$832 pp`, Grand Decameron Los Cabos about `$862 pp`, Breathless about `$1,033 pp`, Secrets Puerto Los Cabos about `$1,119 pp`, Grand Fiesta Americana about `$1,172 pp`, and Hyatt Ziva about `$1,212 pp`.
- Golf remains covered with current seasonal pricing: Cabo del Sol is about `$75`, Palmilla twilight is about `$213.98`, Cabo San Lucas Country Club is about `$183.60`, and Quivira is about `$275` twilight in high season.
- Nightlife and day-club pricing is still strong for bachelor-party planning: Cabo Wabo `$155`, El Squid Roe `$205`, Nowhere Bar `$50`, Pink Kitty up to `$400`, Nikki Beach `$325`, Mandala gold `$1,150`, Mandala diamond `$2,300`, Bagatelle `$100` deposit for 12+, Mango Deck `$40` per person deposit, and Taboo Beach Club `$884` for a 4-person pool island.
- Excursions and water activities refreshed with whale watching from `$76`, luxury whale watching from `$97`, private luxury whale watching from `$3,009.30`, ATV from `$78`, UTV from `$139`, Tierra Sagrada Beach Club from `$104`, Tierra Sagrada Adventure Park from `$209`, Cabo Sailing from `$109`, and luxury yacht charter floors from `$1,556` to `$2,386+`.
- Sold-out items: none clearly surfaced.
- Package-vs-standalone caveat: package prices are bundled flight+hotel or hotel-only promotional snapshots and should not be added to separate flight or hotel costs. Standalone quotes remain room-only, flight-only, golf, nightlife, excursion, or charter line items.
- New options worth adding: Grand Decameron Los Cabos package, Grand Velas Los Cabos standalone, Grand Solmar Land's End standalone, 38'-46' Cabo Sailing, 80' Patron yacht charter, UTV off-road, Mango Deck day-club deposits, Taboo Beach Club, and Nikki Beach cabanas.
- Budget impact: the recalculated budget track lands around `$1.2k pp`, the balanced package-backed track around `$1.4k pp`, and the splurge track around `$3.4k pp`, with Grand Velas plus private yacht and whale-watch add-ons now the largest swing factor.
+- Live crawl was still partially gated on exact package and quote flows, so this run used visible vendor pages and indexed result snippets for the final floors.
+- Biggest live moves versus the prior snapshot: the LAX-SJD route floor moved up to about `$321 RT` from about `$269 RT`, while Quivira twilight eased to about `$233` from about `$275`. Most other tracked floors were flat.
+- Standalone hotel floors now visible in the refreshed set: Solmar Resort about `$97/night`, Grand Solmar Land's End about `$138/night`, Playa Grande about `$104/night`, Villa del Palmar Beach Resort about `$143/night`, Grand Fiesta Americana about `$212/night`, Breathless about `$381/night`, Secrets about `$308/night`, Hyatt Ziva about `$314/night`, and Grand Velas about `$1,135/night`.
+- Package floors remain the best comparison anchor: Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas about `$832 pp`, Grand Decameron about `$862 pp`, Breathless about `$1,172 pp`, Grand Fiesta Americana about `$1,172 pp`, and Hyatt Ziva about `$1,212 pp`.
+- Golf coverage is still strong: Cabo del Sol about `$75`, Cabo San Lucas Country Club about `$183.60`, Palmilla twilight about `$213.98`, and Quivira twilight about `$233`.
+- Nightlife and day-club pricing stays useful for bachelor-party planning: Cabo Wabo `$155`, El Squid Roe `$205`, Nowhere Bar `$50`, Pink Kitty large table `$400`, Nikki Beach cabana/reservation `$325`, Bagatelle deposit `$100 pp`, Mango Deck deposit `$40 pp`, Taboo pool island `$884`, Mandala gold `$1,150`, and Mandala diamond `$2,300`.
+- Excursions and water activities refreshed with Cabo whale watching `$76`, luxury whale watching `$97`, private luxury whale watching `$3,009.30`, ATV `$78`, UTV `$139`, Tierra Sagrada Beach Club `$104`, Tierra Sagrada Park `$209`, Cabo Sailing `$109`, and the 80' Patron yacht at `$2,386`.
+- Missing prices: Costco Travel package pages still surfaced as continue-gated/request-quote pages, with inclusions visible but no final quoted price exposed in this crawl.
+- Sold-out items: none surfaced.
+- Package-vs-standalone caveat: package quotes are bundled flight+hotel products and should not be added to separate flight or hotel costs; standalone quotes stay single-item only.
+- New options worth adding: Solmar Resort, Grand Solmar Land's End, Playa Grande Resort, Villa del Palmar Beach Resort, Costco Grand Solmar package, Costco Grand Velas package, Taboo day-club options, Nikki Beach cabanas, UTV off-road, and the 80' Patron yacht.
+- Budget impact: the budget track remains about `$1.17k pp`, the balanced package-backed track about `$1.42k pp`, and the splurge track about `$3.44k pp`. The balanced package path is still the cleanest value choice.
