The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 9 from 588 reviews, free cancellation
- $415 per person, $160 below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Highs of 82–87°F all week, lows near 68°F
The catch: There's no nonstop: American stops once, 8h 14m on the way out, and a checked bag is about $160 for two on top of the total.
Worth it if you want a warm beach week on a modest total; skip it if you need a nonstop or want whale season.
Worth it if one stop is fine with you: $1,506 for two covers the flights at $830 plus 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $676, taxes and fees included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come back Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, on American with one stop. Checked bags, resort fees and spending money are not in that total.

Why now
$1,506 for two covers the round-trip flights and seven nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas, taxes and fees included, as we found it when we checked. The fare is $415 per person, $160 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 28% gap across the 12 offers we saw. Prices move, so we can't promise it'll hold. Mid-November in Los Cabos means typical highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F, mostly overcast in the seasonal normals, which is easy weather for beach days and a water-taxi to El Arco. You land after the October marlin tournament that fills the marina and before humpback season starts in December, so don't plan on whales. Not in the total: checked bags at about $160 for two, resort fees and spending money. It's a full week of sun for the two of you.
The kind of trip this is
A warm beach week you can run at your own pace: swim at Médano Beach, take a boat out of the marina, eat well and go out at night in Cabo San Lucas when you feel like it. It suits a couple or two friends who want a mix of beach, food and some nightlife, and who'd rather spend on days out than on the room.
