- 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`.
- 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.

## New options worth adding

- Mandala VIP table packages with tiered spend levels and higher-confidence public nightlife pricing.
- 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.

## Package vs standalone caveats

- Expedia results are flight+hotel bundles and should not be double-counted with separate flight or hotel rows.
- KAYAK standalone flight and hotel prices are the cleanest comparison points for budget modeling.
- Costco package availability is visible, but exact quotes remain gated until the final booking/quote screen.

## Budget impact

- Budget recommendation improves materially because the standalone hotel floor dropped and the cheapest flight floor remains competitive.
- Balanced recommendation still favors a bundled flight+hotel package if the group wants simpler planning and fewer separate bookings.
- Splurge recommendation now has clearer anchors for premium golf, Mandala tables, and private whale / premium excursion upgrades.
