## Biggest Changes
- CheapCaribbean's live 4-night Los Cabos ladder is still the best package baseline, but the visible floors are slightly lower than the previous report: Riu Santa Fe is $833 pp, Riu Palace Baja California is $1,046 pp, Dreams is $969 pp, Breathless is $1,091 pp, Secrets is $1,149 pp, Paradisus is $1,212 pp, Grand Fiesta Americana is $1,346 pp, and Hard Rock is $1,449 pp.
- Apple Vacations is currently showing 3-night Los Cabos package floors rather than the target 4-night window, but the visible floors are real and materially lower than the last report: Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos Beach Resort is $490 pp, Riu Palace Baja California is $547 pp, Riu Santa Fe is $595 pp, Sandos Finisterra is $549 pp, Secrets is $685 pp, Breathless is $786 pp, Paradisus is $837 pp, and Grand Velas is $2,232 pp.
- KAYAK room-only floors remain live, with Corazon at $68/night, Solmar at $92/night, Grand Fiesta Americana at $209/night, Hard Rock at $277/night, Hyatt Ziva at $314/night, Breathless at $381/night, Secrets at $305/night, and Grand Velas at $1,135/night.
- Flight route floors are now more mixed than the last report: KAYAK shows LAX-SJD around $322 round-trip and ONT-SJD around $338 round-trip, while Google Flights currently surfaces LAX-SJD starting at $347.
- Cabo Bash's yacht ladder is still broad and useful for the Bundles tab, with 34ft Bayliner at $360/hour, 75ft Sunseeker at $2,300/hour, 80ft Sunseeker Manhattan at $3,450 for 2 hours, and 100ft Maiora at $2,700/hour.
- Cabo Adventures and Viator both added/confirmed stronger bachelor-party activity anchors, including Cabo ATV Tour & Desert Adventure at $91, Off Road UTV Tour at $139, Luxury Whale Watch Cruise to The Arch at $95, and Whale Watching Tour in Los Cabos from $97.
- KAYAK flight search is now exact-date matched on both routes: LAX-SJD shows Wed 2/3 to Sun 2/7 at $349 round-trip for the cheapest visible fare and $383 for the best visible fare, while ONT-SJD shows $431 cheapest and $499 best on the same stay window.
- Hotwire now renders live San José del Cabo hotel listings for the exact Feb 3-7 stay instead of a blank result state. Hotel Colli is the cheapest visible fallback at $91/night, or $364 total.
- The package ladder from CheapCaribbean is unchanged in this correction pass, so the bundle baseline still comes from the same flight+hotel package set as the prior run.
## Stable Anchors
- Cheapest current standalone hotel remains Corazon at $68/night.
- Cheapest current standalone hotel anchor now includes Hotwire's Hotel Colli at $91/night, with Tropicana Los Cabos at $272/night, Hyatt Place Los Cabos at $135/night, and Casa Natalia at $360/night.
- Cheapest current package remains Riu Santa Fe at $833 pp for 4 nights.
- Cheapest golf anchor remains Cabo San Lucas Country Club at $150.44 for the visible twilight rate, with Palmilla at $213.98 and Quivira at $233.
- No sold-out items were visible in this pass.
## Missing Or Gated
- Costco Travel package totals are still login/continue-gated, but the destination and package pages are visible and confirm the current package lineup for Hacienda del Mar, Grand Fiesta Americana, Secrets, and Grand Velas.
- Apple Vacations is showing live packages, but the visible prices are 3-night departures and do not match the target Feb 3-7, 2027 stay window.
- Google Flights did not yield a usable ONT exact-date quote in this pass; KAYAK route-floor signals are the cleanest current flight anchors.
- Costco Travel package totals are still login/continue-gated, but the destination and package pages remain visible and confirm the current package lineup for Hacienda del Mar, Grand Fiesta Americana, Secrets, and Grand Velas.
- Apple Vacations still shows live packages, but the visible prices are 3-night departures and do not match the target Feb 3-7, 2027 stay window.
## New Options Worth Adding
- Package cards worth promoting: the current CheapCaribbean ladder, plus Apple tiles for Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos Beach Resort, Riu Santa Fe, Sandos Finisterra, Secrets, Breathless, Paradisus, and Grand Velas.
- Yacht cards worth adding: 34ft Bayliner, 75ft Sunseeker, 80ft Sunseeker Manhattan, 80ft Ferretti, and 100ft Maiora.
- Nightlife cards worth adding: Cabo Bash Taboo cabana, Taboo presidential deck, Bagatelle VIP reservation, The Cabo Agency's Nowhere Bar table, El Squid Roe booth, Mandala gold and diamond booths, Pink Kitty reservations, and La Vaquita platinum.
- Activity cards worth adding: Cabo Adventures whale watching, luxury whale watching, ATV desert adventure, ATV/camel combo, off-road UTV, sunset sail, scuba, and private yacht experience.
- Add Hotwire hotel cards for Hotel Colli, Tropicana Los Cabos, Casa Natalia Boutique Hotel Adults Only, Drift San Jose del Cabo, and Hyatt Place Los Cabos.
- Keep the KAYAK exact-date flight cards for LAX-SJD and ONT-SJD, since those now carry the actual Feb 3-7 search window.
## Budget Impact
- Budget path is now about $1,074.44 pp or $8,595.52 for 8 using Riu Santa Fe, Country Club, the current ATV desert adventure, and a complimentary Bagatelle reservation.
- Balanced path is about $1,547.00 pp or $15,470.00 for 10 using Breathless, Quivira, the 34ft Bayliner, and a La Vaquita platinum table.
- Splurge path is about $2,761.17 pp or $33,134.04 for 12 using Hard Rock, Quivira, the 100ft Maiora, and a Taboo presidential deck.
- Budget, balanced, and splurge package scenarios are unchanged from the prior run because the package ladder, golf, nightlife, and excursion inputs did not move in this correction pass.
- Package-vs-standalone caveat: the package quotes already bundle flight and hotel, so standalone flight or hotel costs must not be added on top unless the package explicitly excludes them.
- Relative to the prior report, the package baseline is a little lower, flight floors are a bit higher, and the activity side is broader because Cabo Party Fun and Viator surfaced new bachelor-party-friendly options.
- If the app shows a standalone fallback path, Hotwire now provides a much cheaper hotel-only anchor than the previous blank state, while KAYAK's exact-date flight anchors are higher than the stale route-floor labels from the earlier report.
