The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Typical highs of 82–87°F all week, with lows near 68°F
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 8.9 from 590 reviews, $98 a night
- Free cancellation at all three hotels we checked
The catch: The $586 fare has two stops and 57h 56m of travel time in total, landing Monday, Nov 16 at 6:47 AM, so you lose two hotel nights.
Worth it if you switch to the $590-per-person one-stop American flight or don't mind the travel time; skip it if you want every day of the week on the beach.
Worth it if you can live with the flights. The whole trip is $1,965 for two, all in: $1,172 for the flights, $687 for 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas and $106 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. It runs Nov 14–21, 2026, on an MX + Y4 + VB fare with two stops, so it's not a nonstop, and a checked bag ($160 for two) and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
The fare we found is $586 per person. That's $4 below the typical $590 for this route, which is the median of our earlier checks, so about 1% under. It's a fair price, not a drop. The real draw is the week itself: typical highs of 82–87°F, lows near 68°F, and climate normals that show mostly overcast days, with one partly cloudy day on Friday, Nov 20. Mid-November comes after October's marlin tournament fills the marina and before humpback whale season starts in December, so this trip is more about El Arco and snorkeling than whales. The hotel side is easy too: $98 a night for a studio rated 8.9, with free cancellation. All prices were all-in when we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-sun week for two adults who like easy days with a few outings mixed in: a boat out of the marina, snorkeling in calm bays, a farm-to-table dinner and maybe a night out in Cabo San Lucas. It suits couples or friends who like some buzz around them, and once you land you set the pace.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For the right reader, yes. The weather and the $98-a-night hotel rated 8.9 hold up. The cheapest fare is the weak part: two stops, 57h 56m of travel time in total, and you land Monday, Nov 16 at 6:47 AM.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $1,965 for two, all in. That's $1,172 in flights, $687 for 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas and $106 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag, about $160 for two, and spending money are extra.
Is there a better flight?
Yes. When we checked, American, operated by Republic Airways as American Eagle, had one stop for $590 per person, or $1,180 for two. It leaves Saturday, Nov 14 at 8:29 PM and lands Sunday, Nov 15 at 12:44 PM. That's a day earlier than the two-stop fare.
What is the weather like?
Climate normals for Nov 14–21 show typical highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F. Most days are listed as overcast, with Friday, Nov 20 partly cloudy.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, you need a passport. You'll fly from John Glenn Columbus International (CMH) to Los Cabos International (SJD). Bring some Mexican pesos, and remember the clocks there run 2 hours behind Columbus.
Will we see whales?
Probably not on this trip. Humpback whale season runs December to April, with the peak from December to February. In mid-November, go for the water-taxi to El Arco or snorkeling at Chileno Bay instead.
