## Biggest price changes ## Current readout
- No material price moves were confirmed from the last visible live snapshot. The exact-date baseline remains the working comparison set for flights, hotels, golf, nightlife, and excursions. - Standalone hotel baseline: Comfort Inn & Suites Los Cabos is showing `$75/night` for the cheapest king room, with a `$100/night` flexible option that includes breakfast and free cancellation. Four nights total to `$300-$400` depending on room type.
- Standalone flight baseline: KAYAK ONT -> SJD is showing `$402 RT pp` cheapest, `$605 RT pp` best, and higher nonstop / premium options above that.
## Missing prices - Package inventory: Expedia flight+stay bundles currently range from about `$761 pp` at Hotel Colli to `$4,118 pp` at Paradisus, with notable anchors at `Krystal Grand ($1,323)`, `Grand Decameron ($1,284)`, `Posada Real ($1,178)`, `Marquis ($1,997)`, `Hilton Los Cabos ($2,157)`, and `Hyatt Ziva ($3,047)`.
- Golf: public rates now span `Cabo San Lucas Country Club ($105)`, `Palmilla ($140)`, `Cabo Real ($160)`, and `Quivira ($395-$465)`.
- Costco Travel package quotes remain gated behind login and were not re-surfaced in a readable quote flow during this run. - Nightlife: Mandala table packages are visible at about `$750+`, while the Cabo Agency's Cabo Wabo VIP table remains a lower-cost table anchor at `$155`.
- Apple Vacations date-specific package pages resolved, but the current fetch did not expose a fresh quote table for direct extraction. - Excursions: public whale watching runs roughly `$69.99-$99` on the standard market, ATV starts around `$69-$99` plus mandatory fees, and private whale options can jump to `$475` base plus per-person add-ons.
- KAYAK exact-date flight and hotel pages still resolve for 2027-02-03 to 2027-02-07, but the rendered text fetch only exposed the shell/navigation, not the result rows.
- Cabo del Sol public pricing is still not visible from the official booking pages checked today.
## Sold out or unavailable
- No new sold-out states were confirmed in this run.
- Prior Costco Travel availability flags for Corazon Cabo and Hard Rock Los Cabos remain the last visible unavailability signals, but they were not rechecked in a readable results view today.
## Login-required sources
- Costco Travel
## New options worth adding ## New options worth adding
- No clearly new public options were surfaced beyond the current tracked set. - Mandala VIP table packages with tiered spend levels and higher-confidence public nightlife pricing.
- The app should continue tracking the existing LAX and ONT KAYAK flight options, the Apple/Costco package hotels, and the golf/nightlife/excursion set already in the history feed. - Additional golf course anchors for Cabo San Lucas Country Club, Cabo Real, Palmilla, and Quivira.
- Expedia package inventory for Hotel Colli, Posada Real, Marquis, Krystal Grand, Hyatt Ziva, Hilton Los Cabos, and Paradisus.
## Current package and standalone signals ## Package vs standalone caveats
- Costco package prices carried forward in the working baseline: Breathless $1,678.99 pp, Dreams $1,447.80 pp, Secrets $2,005.80 pp, Zoetry $1,717.42 pp. - Expedia results are flight+hotel bundles and should not be double-counted with separate flight or hotel rows.
- Apple Vacations exact-date package prices carried forward in the working baseline include Breathless $2,016 pp, Grand Fiesta $2,111 pp, Dreams $1,757 pp, Hyatt Ziva $2,178 pp, Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas $1,529 pp, and Hard Rock $3,343 pp. - KAYAK standalone flight and hotel prices are the cleanest comparison points for budget modeling.
- KAYAK exact-date hotel signals carried forward in the working baseline include Grand Fiesta $212 per night, Secrets $335 per night, Comfort Inn $129 per night, Capital O Hotel Dos Mares $48 per night, and Esperanza $3,243 per night. - Costco package availability is visible, but exact quotes remain gated until the final booking/quote screen.
- Public activity pricing carried forward in the working baseline includes Palmilla $194.53, Quivira $306, public whale watch $76, private whale watch $1,504 total, ATV $78, sunset sail $108.94, Mango Deck deposit $40, Cabo Wabo VIP table $155, Taboo pool island $884, and Cabo Bash Gold $1,700.
## Package-vs-standalone caveats
- Package prices should not be combined with separate flight or hotel costs unless the package explicitly excludes them.
- Standalone hotel prices still need the 4-night conversion in comparison logic when the source is quoting a nightly rate.
- The history feed keeps package and standalone records separate through `bookingType` and `includedComponents` metadata.
## Budget impact ## Budget impact
- Budget recommendation remains around $1,150 per person for 8 guys, $1,143 for 10 guys, and $1,139 for 12 guys using the current baseline mix. - Budget recommendation improves materially because the standalone hotel floor dropped and the cheapest flight floor remains competitive.
- Balanced recommendation remains around $1,771 per person for 8 guys, $1,767 for 10 guys, and $1,764 for 12 guys. - Balanced recommendation still favors a bundled flight+hotel package if the group wants simpler planning and fewer separate bookings.
- Splurge recommendation remains around $2,721 per person for 8 guys, $2,727 for 10 guys, and $2,658 for 12 guys. - Splurge recommendation now has clearer anchors for premium golf, Mandala tables, and private whale / premium excursion upgrades.
## Notes
- This run revalidated the current automation baseline and kept the output files in sync for the app.
- If the browser session exposes row-level prices again on a later run, those should replace the carried-forward signals in the history feed.
