 ## Stable Anchors
 
-- CheapCaribbean package floors remain at $568 per person for Riu Santa Fe through $1,332 per person for Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos.
+- No sold-out items were visible in this pass.
-- Expedia flight route floors remain about $340 LAX-SJD and $396 ONT-SJD.

 ## Missing Or Gated
 
-- Costco Travel package totals are still login-required; Hacienda del Mar and Hard Rock package totals were visible only up to the continue step.
+- Costco Travel remains login/continue-gated for the exact Cabo package flow.
-- Apple Vacations package pages still show Get Price / quote-only flows for Breathless, Grand Fiesta Americana, and Secrets.
+- Apple and CheapCaribbean exposed live package floors, but the page snippets showed best-priced departure dates rather than a target-trip Feb 3-7, 2027 quote.
-- No sold-out items were visible in this run.
+- The current browser surface did not expose a date-matched Google Flights quote in this pass, so flights are represented by the live KAYAK route-floor signals.
-- Direct in-app browser navigation to KAYAK and Expedia was blocked, so the refreshed hotel floors came from public search-result snippets and accessible result pages.
 
 ## New Options Worth Adding
 
-- Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos and Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas remain strong standalone hotel candidates.
+- Cabo Bash 32ft Sea Ray, 44ft Sea Ray, 50ft Azimut, 60ft Azimut, 75ft Sunseeker, 80ft Sunseeker Manhattan, 80ft Ferretti, and 100ft Maiora yacht cards.
-- La Vaquita gold and Clandestinna deposit are new nightlife options worth tracking.
+- Cabo Bash Sunset Booze & Dinner Cruise, Luxury Sunset Sailing, Flyboard, Jetboard, Jet Skis, Snorkel/SUP/Kayak combo, Whale Shark encounter, and Camel Ride / ATV / Zip Line / Electric Bike adventure cards.
-- Tierra Sagrada Beach & Adventure Park at $209 adds a stronger bundle-friendly excursion option.
+- The Cabo Agency La Vaquita booth and tiered table options should stay visible alongside Mandala, Taboo, and El Squid Roe.
-- Private luxury whale watching at $3,009.30 and private luxury sailing at $2,799 expand the top-end group excursion set.
 
 ## Budget Impact
 
-- Budget path stays about $819.85 pp or $6,558.80 for 8.
+- Budget path is now about $1,126.60 pp or $9,012.80 for 8 using Riu Santa Fe, Country Club, the electric-bike adventure, and a no-cost Bagatelle reservation.
-- Balanced path lands about $1,447.48 pp or $14,474.80 for 10.
+- Balanced path is about $1,500.00 pp or $15,000.00 for 10 using Breathless, Quivira, the 34ft Bayliner, and a La Vaquita platinum table.
-- Splurge path lands about $2,027.94 pp or $24,335.30 for 12.
+- Splurge path is about $3,570.83 pp or $42,849.96 for 12 using Grand Velas, Quivira, the 75ft Sunseeker, and a Taboo cabana.
-- Package-vs-standalone caveat: package prices already bundle flight and hotel, so do not stack separate flight or hotel costs on top unless a package explicitly excludes them.
+- Package-vs-standalone caveat: package prices already bundle flight and hotel, so separate flight or hotel costs should not be added on top unless the package explicitly excludes them.
-- Current standalone hotel floors are public quote snapshots, not exact Feb 3-7, 2027 searches, so treat them as current market floors rather than date-matched stay totals.
+- Relative to the prior run, budget and balanced are lower, while splurge is effectively flat because the higher Grand Velas package floor offsets the cheaper Quivira and nightlife/yacht inputs.
