The good news for travelers to Los Cabos is that it appears right now that there will be plenty of resort hotel rooms available for travelers looking to ring in the new year in the beach resort destination.

The downside is that those available rooms are costing last-minute visitors looking forward to a beach vacation getaway an average of $550 per night. By the way, that is in United States dollars.

High Demand for Rooms

While it looks like Los Cabos will not be completely full or sold out for the end of this year and the start of the new year, it will be a pretty busy time to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf in the third most popular destination in Mexico.

Current projections are for about 90 percent of the available resort and hotel rooms to be full in Los Cabos for celebrations to close out the year.

Officials with the Los Cabos Tourism Trust remarked that the occupancy number really has not shifted much as many of the available resort and hotel rooms were booked for the end-of-the-year holidays weeks and months in advance.

Leads to High Prices for Rooms

While there are still some rooms available for this weekend’s final celebration of the year, it will cost procrastinating travelers a pretty penny to enjoy the festivities in Los Cabos.

According to reports, the resort and hotel average room prices in Los Cabos is $550 per night for the weekend. That room rate is considered among the highest hotel accommodation charges for the New Year celebration this weekend anywhere in Mexico.

Recently, Los Cabos business owners recently canceled the fireworks show on El Medano beach to ring in the new year due to the risk of safety and security for travelers and locals.

However, a drone display is currently planned instead of the fireworks celebration.

Overall Strong Year for Los Cabos

This year is trending to close out as a strong tourism year for Los Cabos. The beach resort destination should end the year with an occupancy level close to 80 percent.

That will place Los Cabos solidly in third place among the tourist hotspots across Mexico.

Following Los Cabos are one emerging destination and two perennial powerhouse travel destinations in Mexico. Nuevo Nayarit came in at 76.2 percent, followed by Cancun at 76.1 percent and Puerto Vallarta at 74.6 percent occupancy levels.
