The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $338 below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Hotel rated 9 from 588 reviews, with free cancellation
- Typical highs of 82–87°F for the week, lows near 68°F
The catch: The $968 fare has one stop and takes 25h 20m, landing Sunday, Nov 15; Delta's 8h 5m option was $990 for two.
Worth it if you want a warm beach week with boat days and good dinners; skip it if a long connection is a dealbreaker.
Worth it if you can handle a long trip there. The whole trip is $1,748 for two: the flights at $968, Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $676 and $104 in property fees, with taxes and fees included, but not a checked bag ($160 for two) or spending money. It's 7 nights, Nov 14–21, 2026, on American with one stop, and the fare we found takes 25h 20m, landing Sunday, Nov 15 at 10:52 AM.

Why now
The flights came in at $484 per person, or $968 for two. That's $338 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, out of 12 offers we checked. Add 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas for $676 plus $104 in fees paid at the property, and the trip comes to $1,748 for two with taxes and fees included. A checked bag runs about $160 for two on top. In mid-November, Los Cabos has typical highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F, mostly overcast according to the seasonal averages. This week is before humpback whale season, which runs December to April, so plan on swimming, snorkeling and boat days instead of whale trips. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A warm beach week with a lively streak. Stay in Cabo San Lucas for Médano Beach, boat trips from the marina and bars at night. Then slow things down with snorkeling, a farm-to-table dinner and an evening in San José del Cabo. It suits a couple or two friends who want sun and an easy pace during the day, with dinner and drinks as the main plan after dark.
