Pueblo Bonito Sunset

Pueblo Bonito Sunset
Best Things Nearby:
This resort is outside of the main area of Cabo, but it is a beautiful resort and worth the commute. There is a shuttle bus that takes you down to Pueblo Bonito Rose that leaves on the hour until 10pm. The bus from Pueblo Bonito Rose leaves on the half hour.

Best Things About the Resort:
The rooms are huge. We had a balcony that was about 20 feet long by 8 feet wide. The units are nicely furnished, and they spared no expense, meaning top-of-the-line everything in the rooms. We had two bathrooms, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The beach is beautiful to walk on and watch the waves crash against the shore. You cannot go in the water, but somehow, it really doesn't matter. You can always take the shuttle to the Rose for an afternoon of swimming and then return to the grandeur of the Pueblo Bonito Sunset. The spa at the Sunset leaves something to be desired; my wife recommends the spa at the Pueblo Bonito Rose.

Resort Experience:
This place is like staying in a museum. There are many exquisite pieces of art throughout the resort, so that you feel like you are in one of the cathedrals in Europe. The owner collects pieces of art that he has acquired from all over the world. Whether you are religious or not, you cannot help feeling a spiritual closeness to God at this resort. They even have a lovely, quaint chapel to pray. I don't go to church, but I found myself in the chapel several times, thanking God for being kind to me and praying for peace in these troubling times. This resort is more than a resort - it is a spiritual retreat for the mind, body, and soul. The restaurants are exquisite, romantic with superb service! I am going back as soon as I can!

Pueblo Bonito Resort at Sunset Beach

  • December 31, 2004
  • 4 by lwchin from Calgary, Alberta
Best Things Nearby:
There is a beautiful beach, landscape, and sunset!

Best Things About the Resort:
The pool and ocean views are the best things.

Resort Experience:
The resort is situated on the side of mountain facing the Pacific Ocean. Free shuttles are available to take you throughout the resort, as well as to the sister resorts. It is very convenient, and the staff was very friendly and pleasant. The construction on the rest of resort is still in progress; however, it does not impact any of the existing lodgings.

The two heated pools were beautiful and great for kids of all ages. The pool area is beautiful and built on three levels. The grounds and rooms are immaculate, with gardeners and the housekeeping staff working 24 hours. The beach was peaceful and vendor free. You can't swim in the ocean, but you can take the shuttle to the sister resorts and enjoy all the water sports and the beach there.

The accommodation was huge and spacious. We had a one-bedroom suite with two full bathrooms and all the amenities. There was maid service daily, and the suite was cleaned well. We were extremely impressed with the accommodation, services, and all the amenities at this resort. We will absolutely go back in the future. Well done!

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach
We spent 2 weeks here…one in a junior suite and one in a penthouse. Both units were incredible in being well designed, commodious, and large. The marble floors and decor were lovely and the construction of high quality. NO noise inside! If one has the door to the private terrace open, one can hear the modified golf carts which ferry guests around the resort. You will be thankful for the carts! Door to door service makes up for the steep hills that allow for the 180-degree views of the ocean!

The pools are great. The lower level pool by the ocean has a swim up bar and happy hour became our ritual there or at the little tables with ocean view nearby. The expansive ocean view allows you to see jumping rays (fish) and even hear them smack the water! You may also spot a whale or two from your own room. This is of course spectacularly true from the penthouse. Ours was so huge, we felt like we should move from bed to bed to "use the place" (my husband and I were there alone in this three-bedroom and rattled around in it.) Room for 10, yes! We loved our own private terraces and our very own jacuzzi hot tub under the stars from which we could watch the sunset over the ocean and sip our wine. We had enough privacy to shed our swimsuits for this quite romantic setting. So relaxing!

There is a good exercise room with the great views from the treadmills, but walking up and down the hills or taking the stairs could substitute! What is nice is that even those with physical handicaps can enjoy this resort due to the ever available door to door to door or pool or restaurant or lobby service. Room service is also prompt and good. The facilities here will actually be even better when the projected Bellagio-style high-end shops are added in a building at the resort ...and the golf course is done!

Best Things Nearby:
There is nothing nearby. You must take a taxi or shuttle to get to town or another resort. The beach is unusable and is patrolled by local police

Best Things About the Resort:
the pool

Resort Experience:
From the outside the facility is lovely. Beautiful landscaping, architecture, waterfalls. Every room has a view of the ocean. However, due to the steep, winding switchbacks you are dependent upon a bell boy to drive you in a golf cart anywhere you need to go in the resort. It's very inconvenient and time consuming waiting for them to pick you up. The customer service was terrible.

The time share sales pitch was HORRENDOUS. We were demeaned, insulted, made to feel guilty for not buying, and lied to. We were kept captive for 3 hours and the salesman would not leave us alone.

Our first room was a lovely 2 bedroom suite, however there was a slow leak in the ceiling which caused the suite to be more humid inside than it was outside. On our final nite we were moved into a $275 "hotel" room which was way overpriced and completely unacceptable. The room was not clean when we checked in. (There was food on the floor, ants on the floor and in the bathroom, and there were dirty/bloody tissues on the loungechair.) We had no towels and after 2 calls for towels we never received any. The key code was changed on the room without notifying us and we could not get in the room. We were told we would get new keys and we never did. We had to hunt down a maid to open the door (which she did even though we never showed her any identification!!) The "manager" would not assist us with a reduction in the cost of the room despite all of the above problems and issues.

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach
Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach was a fabulous resort!

We stayed in a one-bedroom hotel unit at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. The resort is comprised of hotel and timeshare units and is located outside of town. There is nothing within walking distance other than the onsite amenities. Our check-in was very smooth.

All of the buildings are located facing the ocean on a steep hill; every building provides an ocean view because of the layout of the resort. The resort is beautifully landscaped with flowers, multiple bird atriums with a variety of birds, connected via trails. WE were escorted to our room on a golf cart. Although we had paid for a studio, we were upgraded to a one-bedroom unit. We were pleasantly surprised -- the accommodations were outstanding. Our unit had two full bathrooms. The living area had a small table, a stocked refrigerator, and shelf with various incidentals and snacks (available at a price). One of the full bathrooms was off of the "kitchenette" area. There was a couch, large cabinet with a TV, and sliders to the balcony that stretched across the living room and bedroom area. The bedroom was quite large with a king size bed, television, seating area and full bathroom. Both bathrooms were finished in beautiful Mexican tile!

When we went to the resort there were two pools completed and one restaurant, and pool bar service. There are plans for another very large pool, another restaurant, and a complete spa. One of the pools was directly behind our building, and very close. The other was at the bottom of the hill, near the beach. This is where the restaurant and store were also located. Golf carts shuttled guests up and down to the main pool. Both pools had a swim-up bar and provided grill service during lunch and throughout the afternoon. Happy hour started at 4pm and all drinks at the swim-up bar were two-for-one. The "Sunset Special" was my favorite!

On most days we walked to the main pool. Walking down the steep inclines to the pool was very vigorous, especially in the sun, but we enjoyed the exercise. The shuttle service via golf cart, was also very convenient. Although you can call for a golf cart, guests never needed to, they passed through the area very frequently.

Because the resort layout is on a steep hill, even the main pool is set fairly high above the beach. The restroom facilities are down a long flight of stairs. People who cannot get around easily may find this resort a challenge.

The resort itself is on a beach where no swimming is allowed. The waves break right at the edge of the ocean -- although beautiful, they can be dangerous. Even the locals avoid the water here. Guests looking for a place to swim in the ocean should stay elsewhere.

Overall, I had a great time and can't wait to go back!
