Los Cabos from Tucson, Oct 23–25: $2,063 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Southwest fare of $845 per person, $444 below the typical fare
- Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos: 8.2 from 1,523 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 88–91°F, rain chance 24% Friday, 0% by Sunday
The catch: One stop makes the outbound 5h 35m, which is a lot for 2 nights, and a checked bag is about $140 for two that isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a warm beach weekend at a strong fare; skip it if a one-stop flight for 2 nights feels like too much travel.
Worth it if one stop doesn't bother you: $2,063 for two covers the flights at $1,690, Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos at $317 and its $56 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. That's 2 nights, Friday, Oct 23 to Sunday, Oct 25, 2026, on Southwest with one stop and 5h 35m on the way out. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $845 per person on Southwest, this fare is $444 below the typical fare on this route. That's 34% under the $1,289 median of our earlier checks. We saw 12 offers for these dates, ranging from $845 to $1,618, and this is the low end of that range. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows highs of 88–91°F and lows of 73–75°F under overcast skies. The rain chance is 24% Friday, 13% Saturday and 0% Sunday, so it's warm-water weather without the full glare. October is also when the Bisbee's Black and Blue marlin tournament fills the marina, so expect Cabo San Lucas to be busy. Whale season doesn't start until December, so this weekend is for swimming, boats and long dinners. These prices are all-in as we found them and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a short, warm beach weekend: swim at Médano Beach, take a boat out to the arch, eat well and sleep late. Cabo San Lucas has the bars if you want a late night, and San José del Cabo is the quieter town down the corridor. It suits couples or two friends who'd rather have sun and water than a packed itinerary, at an easy pace.

We picked Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos as the best value. It's $317 for 2 nights ($159 a night) plus a $56 resort fee that's already in our total. It scores 8.2 from 1,523 reviews, and you get a Standard Room, room only, with free cancellation. It's in downtown Cabo San Lucas, part of the Cabo San Lucas (Marina and Médano Beach) area: the lively end, with a beach you can swim at, bars and boat trips. Solmar Resort Optional All Inclusive is $396 for the stay ($198 a night) and scores 8.6 from 877 reviews. That gets you a King Studio with free cancellation, plus $69 in fees at the property.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if you don't mind one stop. The fare is $845 per person, $444 below the typical fare on this route, the forecast shows highs of 88–91°F and the hotel scores 8.2 with free cancellation. The trade-off is 5h 35m on the way out for a 2-night weekend.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $2,063 for two: $1,690 in flights, $317 for Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos and its $56 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag, about $140 for two, isn't included. With the $520 we budget for spending money, the trip comes to $2,527.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. Los Cabos is in Mexico, so both of you need a passport. The time zone works out the same as Tucson, so there's no clock change.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows overcast skies, highs of 91°F Friday and 88°F Saturday and Sunday, and lows of 73–75°F. The rain chance is 24% Friday, 13% Saturday and 0% Sunday.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for a reset. You leave at 7:45 AM and land at 1:20 PM Friday, so you get Friday afternoon, all of Saturday and Sunday morning. That's time for the beach, a boat to El Arco and one good dinner, but not a full itinerary.
Is there a nonstop?
Not on these dates. Southwest has one stop and takes 5h 35m. American has one-stop options at $850 per person that take 5h 17m or 6h 22m.
