# Cabo Price Watch Report
- Date checked: 2026-05-04T19:26:07Z
- Status: live pricing refresh completed
## Biggest Changes
- Flights moved down versus the prior ONT seed anchor. KAYAKs cheapest visible LAX -> SJD fare is $274 RT pp, with the best nonstop at $377 RT pp.
- Golf is mixed to higher. Palmilla is visible at $140, Cabo Real is visible at $160 on a marketplace result and $190 on the official rate page, and Quivira is visible at $395+.
- Excursions now have a cleaner live floor. Viator whale watching starts at $60, with higher-finish options at $79.65, $99, $80, and $266.23.
- Nightlife/day-club pricing is now visible. Casa Doradas day pass is $110, OMNIA shows MX$1,000+, and Cabo Party Fun shows a $1,080 group pool-party option.
- Apple Vacations package cards are visible again, but they are 3-night package quotes, not exact Feb 3-7, 2027 date matches.

## New Options Worth Adding
- Hyatt Place Los Cabos as the current low-cost exact-date hotel anchor.
- Hilton Vacation Club Cabo Azul as a midrange standalone resort anchor.
- Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos and Casa Maat at JW Marriott as splurge hotel anchors.
- Casa Dorada day pass and Cabo Party Fun pool parties as new nightlife/day-club options.
- Apple Vacations package cards for Dreams, Riu Santa Fe, Grand Fiesta Americana, Sandos Finisterra, Hyatt Ziva, Paradisus, and Grand Velas.
## Caveats
- Apple Vacations package cards are bundle-friendly, but the visible prices are 3-night package quotes and are not exact Feb 3-7, 2027 matches.
- Booking.com hotel prices are exact-date stay totals for Feb 3-7, 2027 and are the best standalone hotel anchors in this run.
- I did not hit any sold-out state in the live results.
- I did not need any login-required source in this pass.
## Impact On Recommendations
- Budget: about $737.86 pp, or $5,902.86 for 8 people.
- Balanced: about $1,298.79 pp, or $12,987.86 for 10 people.
- Splurge: about $3,142.16 pp, or $37,705.90 for 12 people.
- The current budget and balanced tracks are still driven more by flight and hotel than by activities.
- The splurge track is dominated by the Le Blanc hotel rate and Quivira golf.
