  • Standalone flight baseline: KAYAK ONT -> SJD is showing $402 RT pp cheapest, $605 RT pp best, and higher nonstop / premium options above that.
  • 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).

  • 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.
