The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $252 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas scores 9 from 588 reviews, free cancellation
- Typical highs of 82–87°F for a week of beach days
The catch: It's 3 stops and 49h 1m of travel round trip; you land Nov 15, so the first hotel night goes unused, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if long connections are a fair trade for a $1,745 week in Cabo; skip it if travel days wear you out.
Worth it if you can handle the connections: $1,745 for two, all in, with the flights at $1,069 plus 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $676, taxes and fees included. You fly Nov 14–21, 2026 on F9 + Y4. It isn't nonstop: the itinerary has 3 stops, and a checked bag, any resort fees and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The fare is $535 per person, which is $252 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 32% under the top of the 12 offers we checked. Add Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $676 for 7 nights and the whole trip for two comes to $1,745, all in. That's the price we found when we checked. Prices move, so we can't promise it will hold. In mid-November, typical highs in Los Cabos run 82–87°F with lows near 68°F, and the normals are mostly overcast. That's easy weather for beach and boat days. Humpback whale season runs December to April, so it's before the whales arrive. Plan this week around the water and the food. If you add our spending estimate of $1,820, the full week comes to $3,566 for two.
The kind of trip this is
This is a warm-weather beach week, and you set the pace. Cabo San Lucas has the swimmable Médano Beach and the marina bars. You can snorkel the coves along the Tourist Corridor or spend a slower evening in San José del Cabo. It suits couples or friends who want sun, seafood and a day on a boat, and who don't mind spending the first and last days in transit.
