Sunset Beach is wonderful!

My husband and I just spent a week at the Sunset Beach in Cabo for our 10th anniversary. We were very pleased with the resort and will definitely go back. Service was great and food was good (Frida's was our favorite). We ate at La Nao on the Mexican buffet night. It was OK, but not worth the $30 per person they charged for it. Our favorite treat was chips and guacamole at the pool for lunch...so good! The Spa was AMAZING - we both had body wraps and enjoyed every minute of it!!! Be sure to take advantage of the other features of the spa - the sauna, jacuzzi, hot showers and cool pool. A great experience. The shuttle was convenient if you want to go in to town and will save you a lot of money on cab fares. Plenty of things to do...5 beautiful pools (check out the sky pool at sunset), relaxing on the beautiful beach, tennis, other activities, etc. We loved that you could fall asleep to the sounds of the waves in the evenings. One word of warning...if you do the timeshare presentation and receive vouchers for free excursions, food and drink or spa, just know that you will spend a lot of time trying to book everything with the concierge. We did the presentation and got lots of free gifts. In my opinion it was worth it. It is a HUGE resort so just double check your beach bag before heading out for the day or you will spend a lot of time trekking back to your room to retrieve forgotten items. Oh, and don't forget to apply lots of sunscreen...the weather is perfect so you don't feel hot but the sun is VERY strong! Enjoy!!!

Horrible service. Staff was rude and not helpful. Had items STOLEN from suite and when contact was made to "security" staff, they were mean, rude and just plain jerks. Would NEVER come back to this resort.

Amazing!!!
We went to Cabo for our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier with Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach! All the employees are eager to help with anything you need. They all have great work ethic and were very hard workers. It is a timeshare, so you may be approached a time or two by someone asking you to sign up for the 90 minute presentation, but that is the same at any resort in Cabo we noticed. We decided to do the presentation although we had no intentions of purchasing. We did it over breakfast so it really didn't seem to take that long. It is a huge resort so it was nice to learn more about it and see the other room types. On top of that, we got $200 restaurant credit, 2 full size bottles of alcohol, and credit to the spa as well - which was AMAZING!!! It was worth the 90 minutes just for all that.
As they advertise, you can't swim in the ocean there. The waves are too big and dangerous but they have plenty of amazing pools to make up for that. The beach is private so there is no way for vendors to get there so you don't have to worry about being bothered.
Our room was cozy with a great view (as all the rooms have). Everything at the resort was always clean. Restaurants were delicious and always clean and friendly. There is a nice variety to choose from as well. Don't forget happy hour (2 for one everything) at the pool bars from 3:00-4:00! We went to Wal Mart and Costco and got food and had all the stuff needed in our room to make dinner a few times.
The resort is so large that if you don't want to walk, there is constant access to golf carts to take you where at the resort you would like to go. My ONLY complaint of the entire stay is that through the night a couple times during our week long stay, I could hear the tires of the carts squealing on the pavement.
They offer a free shuttle that comes hourly to take you to a sister hotel in town. That is about a 20 minute bus ride and it is on an airport shuttle style bus so that wasn't bad. You then can swim at that beach if you want and walk to town if you want. You can charge stuff to your room that you purchase at the sister hotels as well which makes it very convenient.
Overall, everything was great. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Romantic, beautiful, Hotel

The P.B. Sunset beach is truly a gorgeous, romantic facility. It is set on a hillside that flows down to a private beach on the Pacific side of Cabo. The sunsets and the ocean view are magnificent. If you want some privacy, and a beach that has no beach vendors constantly bothering you, this is the place. There are 4 pools to chose from, including an adults only pool, and a sky pool that fully allows you to take advantage of spectacular sunset views. If you want the convenience of being close to the "beach action" of Madano beach, or the down town area, then the P.B. Rose or Blanca are your best bet. Even though the Hotel has a free shuttle bus that goes back and forth from the hotels hourly, two trips a day to the Rose from the Sunset are going to use up about 2 hours of your time in paradise.

Stayed in a Presidential Suite. Absolutely magnificent. We upgraded from a one bedroom for a minimal amount because we brought some friends. Upsides are great room, view, staff, and quiet. Read another review that complained about noise from surrounding suites. Not our experience. We heard absolutely nothing when we were in our suite. If you're bothered by the sale pitches, avoid making eye contact, politely say no thanks and keep walking. If you like to shop downtown, it is kind of a hassle to take the free bus, however the accommodations more than make up for that inconvenience. Do take the free shuttles to the other Pueblo Bonito resorts in Cabo, you can use all of their facilities. Lots of activities if you go downtown, or if you are in the mood to relax, this is a great place. Already making plans for next year.
