# Cabo Price Watch
|
||
|
||
Checked: 2026-04-30
|
||
|
||
## Data normalization update
|
||
|
||
- The gathered data has been normalized into `price-watch/history.jsonl` with 40 parseable price points across hotels, golf, nightlife, excursions, itineraries, and budget options.
|
||
- Each normalized price point now carries a stable seed key, numeric price, source, booking type, price basis, and included/excluded components when applicable.
|
||
- Costco package result keys for Dreams, Zoetry, and Hard Rock are now mapped to the seeded hotel cards instead of remaining orphaned under source-specific keys.
|
||
- Package quotes are now labeled separately from standalone bookings. Costco and Apple Vacations are treated as package pricing, while KAYAK hotel results are treated as standalone hotel rates.
|
||
- Budget and itinerary rows are included as calculated planning baselines until the next full live refresh recalculates them from fresh component prices.
|
||
|
||
## Biggest price changes
|
||
|
||
- Palmilla Golf Club: current public rates are $194.53-$291.80 for 18 holes depending on date/time window, versus the seed planning floor of about $130. That is up about $64.53 at the low end and as much as $161.80 at prime time. Source: [Cabo Villas](https://www.cabovillas.com/golf/palmilla)

## Missing prices / gated sources

|
||
- Cabo del Sol official pages confirm tee-time booking and inclusions, but the current rate was not visible in the captured snippet.
|
||
|
||
## Sold out / unavailable
|
||
|
||
- No sold-out items were surfaced in the sources checked.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

||
## Costco results page
|
||
|
||
- For `Feb 3, 2027 - Feb 7, 2027` with flights from `LAX`, Costco Travel surfaced quote cards for at least six packages.
|
||
- Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa: `$1,678.99` per traveler, `$3,357.99` total, includes a `USD 207 Digital Costco Shop Card`.
|
||
- Secrets Puerto Los Cabos: `$2,005.80` per traveler, `$4,011.60` total, includes a `USD 266 Digital Costco Shop Card`.
|
||
- Dreams Los Cabos: `$1,447.80` per traveler, `$2,895.60` total, includes a `USD 167 Digital Costco Shop Card`.
|
||
- Zoetry Casa del Mar: `$1,717.42` per traveler, `$3,434.85` total, includes a `USD 215 Digital Costco Shop Card`.
|
||
- Corazon Cabo and Hard Rock were listed as `Not Available` for this search.
|
||
|
||
## Other travel sites
|
||
|
||
- Apple Vacations and KAYAK date-matched hotel results from this run are now promoted into the tracked data set.
|
||
- CheapCaribbean still needs an exact-date results pass before its values should be counted alongside these listings.
|
||
|
||
## Budget impact
|
||
|
||
- Budget track remains roughly intact, but golf is the pressure point: Palmilla and especially Quivira both moved meaningfully above the seed planning assumptions.
|
||
- Balanced track is still the cleanest value story, but the current public golf pricing makes the "balanced" number more sensitive to tee-time selection.
|
||
- Splurge track is still viable, but the live golf and nightlife signals are now firmly in premium territory, so the high-end itinerary should be modeled with a little extra buffer.
|
||
- On the Costco package screen, `Dreams` is the cheapest visible option for the searched dates, with `Breathless` mid-pack and `Secrets` the priciest visible live option among the shown results.
|
||
- Date-matched Apple Vacations and KAYAK hotel prices are now included in the tracked data. CheapCaribbean still needs an exact-date results pass before its values should be counted.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
- Public activity pricing remained usable for the bachelor-trip mix: Cabo Adventures ATV still shows the required $25 entrance fee and $35 damage waiver on the live page, and Cabo Villas sailing prices are still publicly posted.
|
||
- Earlier non-date-matched generic floors remain excluded from tracking unless a source exposes an exact date-matched quote.
