Price Watch - 2026-06-03 -- Blocked/inaccessible in the browser surface: `Costco Travel`, `Apple Vacations`, `CheapCaribbean`, `KAYAK`, and `Google Travel`. -- Biggest standalone hotel changes: Breathless at `$551/night` (`+$158` vs prior floor), Grand Fiesta Americana at `$505/night` (`+$293`), Secrets at `$489/night` (`+$154`), and Zoetry at `$759/night`. -- Bundle candidates surfaced by accessible live pages: Hotwire showed Grand Fiesta Americana package pricing at `$1,432 pp` for `Feb 2-7`; Travelocity showed Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas at `$1,800 pp` for `Feb 3-9`. -- Flights.com current route floors: `LAX -> SJD` from `$300` and `ONT -> SJD` from `$362`. -- Golf: Palmilla twilight is `$213.98`, Cabo Del Sol is `$75`, and Puerto Los Cabos pricing still requires registration. -- Nightlife and day clubs: Cabo Wabo table `$155`, El Squid Roe light package `$425`, Mandala gold `$1,150`, Taboo pool island `$910`, Mango Deck deposit `$40`, and Bagatelle remains complimentary up to 11 guests. -- Excursions: whale watching from `$76` or `$97`, ATV from `$91`, Tierra Sagrada Beach Club at `$90`, Beach & Adventure Park at `$209`, and private luxury whale watching from `$3,009.30`. -- Package-vs-standalone caveat: the accessible package pages are current bundle candidates, but they are not the exact `2027-02-03` to `2027-02-07` target flow, so they should be treated as bundle-friendly options rather than exact stay quotes. -- Recommendation impact: budget stays around `$1.6k pp`, balanced around `$1.86k pp`, and splurge around `$2.56k pp` with premium lodging and a private whale charter. +- Checked the `2027-02-03` through `2027-02-07` trip window. +- Biggest live hotel moves this run: Grand Fiesta Americana is showing about `$432/night`, Secrets Puerto Los Cabos about `$486/night`, Solmar Resort about `$133/night`, Tesoro about `$167/night`, Villa del Palmar about `$245/night`, and Esperanza about `$1,355/night`. +- Fresh bundle floor is stronger than the standalone stack in the middle tier: CheapCaribbean surfaced Grand Fiesta Americana at `$1,172 pp`, Breathless at `$1,033 pp`, Riu Palace Baja California at `$884 pp`, and Travelocity showed Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas at `$1,800 pp`. +- Flights are still expensive but usable for planning: LAX to SJD starts around `$330 RT pp` and ONT to SJD around `$362 RT pp`. +- Golf is refreshed with visible public pricing: Palmilla twilight is `$213.98`, Cabo Del Sol is `$75`, and Cabo San Lucas Country Club is about `$183.60` in the seasonal bucket. +- Nightlife and day-club pricing now includes Cabo Wabo `$155`, El Squid Roe `$205`, Nowhere Bar `$50`, Mandala gold `$1,150`, Mandala diamond `$2,300`, Mango Deck `$40 pp`, Bagatelle `$100 pp`, and Pink Kitty `$400`. +- Excursions refreshed with whale watching from `$76`, luxury whale watching from `$97`, private luxury whale watching from `$1,504.30`, ATV from `$91`, Tierra Sagrada Beach Club at `$90`, the Adventure Park at `$209`, a public sunset sail at `$124.50`, and a Cabo Bash 32ft Sea Ray charter at `$230/hour`. +- Missing or blocked exact-flow sources: Costco Travel, Apple Vacations, CheapCaribbean exact browser flows, KAYAK, and Google Travel. I used visible live pages and snippets where the browser surface would not complete the exact flow. +- Sold-out items: none clearly surfaced as sold out. +- Package-vs-standalone caveat: package prices are bundled flight+hotel quotes and should not be added to separate flight or hotel costs. Standalone quotes are room-only, flight-only, golf, nightlife, or excursion line items. +- New options worth adding: Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa, Hyatt Vacation Club at Sirena del Mar, Cabo San Lucas Country Club, Cabo Bash 32ft Sea Ray charter, Nowhere Bar, Mandala diamond, and Pink Kitty. +- Budget impact: the refreshed live set keeps the budget track near `$1.4k pp`, the balanced package-backed track near `$1.6k pp`, and the splurge track around `$3.6k pp` when you stack Esperanza, premium golf, VIP nightlife, and a private whale charter.
