Los Cabos from Los Angeles, Nov 14–21: $2,449 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Delta nonstop from LAX, 2h 30m, landing 11:45 AM
- $182 per person under the typical fare on this route
- All-inclusive Riu Santa Fe, rated 8 from 2,186 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: You'll need a passport, whale season doesn't start until December, and resort fees and a checked bag are not in the total.
Worth it if you want a warm, easy all-inclusive week after a short nonstop; skip it if whale watching is the reason for the trip.
Worth it for the two of you: $2,449 for two, all in, which is the Delta flights at $752 plus 7 nights at Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive at $1,697, taxes and fees included. You fly nonstop from LAX on Saturday, Nov 14, land at 11:45 AM after 2h 30m, and come home Saturday, Nov 21. Resort fees and a checked bag are not in the total.

Why now
The Delta nonstop is $376 per person, $182 below the typical fare on this route, or 33% under, and it's the lowest in 30 days across 18 checks. That brings the whole trip to $2,449 for two, all in, with 7 nights all-inclusive at Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change. Mid-November normals run 82–87°F by day and 66–70°F at night, mostly overcast, so it's warm enough for the pool and Médano Beach. The October marlin tournament is over by then, and whale season starts in December, so think of this as a beach-and-boat week rather than a whale trip. At 2h 30m from LAX, you get to the beach before lunch on day one.
The kind of trip this is
A beach-and-pool week at an easy pace: mornings at Médano Beach or a snorkel bay, afternoons by the pool, a dinner out or two. It suits a couple who wants the all-inclusive to handle the details, with the marina's bars and boat trips close by when you want more. Friends will find the nightlife, and anyone after a quieter evening can head to San José del Cabo.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, for most couples. You get a 2h 30m Delta nonstop at $376 per person, which is 33% under the typical fare on this route, plus an all-inclusive rated 8 from 2,186 reviews. Skip it if whales are the point, since the season starts in December.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $2,449 for two, all in: $752 for the Delta flights and $1,697 for 7 nights at Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive, taxes and fees included, as of when we checked. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra, and prices can change.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. Los Cabos is in Mexico, so you'll each need a passport. The local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN).
What is the weather like?
Normals for Nov 14–21 are highs of 82–87°F and lows of 66–70°F. It's mostly overcast, with one partly cloudy day. These are seasonal normals, not a forecast.
Are there other flight times at this price?
Yes. A second Delta nonstop leaves at 11:15 AM and lands at 2:45 PM for the same $376 per person. Aeromexico has a flight at that price too, but it makes one stop and takes 7h 47m.
Is 7 nights enough?
It's enough for beach days, a water-taxi to El Arco, a snorkel morning at Chileno Bay, the Thursday Art Walk on Nov 19 and a boat charter, and you'll still have pool days to spare.
