Best Vacation!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Pueblo Bonito Sunset over Presidents Day week and it was by far one of the best vacations we've ever had. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were so comfortable and clean, and the pools are amazing. I love how secluded it is from town (10 min bus ride provided by the hotel) and we would definetly stay there again, and plan on it!
Beautiful, but can't go in the ocean

The hotel is very, very pretty and staff is friendly. They do want to sell you a timeshare, but will back off if you make it clear that you came in to town to... (fish in our case). It did take an hour to check in and get to the room, even though check in was not busy. Not good when you are tired and hot. Rooms nice and roomy, Kitchens stocked very well. The grounds are spread out on terraced grounds, so you have to wait for a driver in golf cart to take you around. Can get really annoying when everybody is trying to get in the "next" cart. Pool areas already in need of maint. Pool bars closes before 7pm. Try to get rooms with hot tubs on balcony. We wished we did! Biggest disappointment: you can not go into the ocean, not even to get your toes wet. Security will chase after you on the beach, blowing thier whistle, etc. After they leave, you're on your own. Big shore breakers. You can take their shuttle buses to Rose and Los Cabos on Medina Beach to swim. Nice mix of guests from states and Mexico. Best to dress casual nice. Fishing good, Marlin and Dorado
The most amazing place I have ever stayed

I have never been to Mexico before, so I was nervous to be out of the country. Once we made it to the hotel, I was amazed at the beauty of the resort and the surrounding area. The staff was incredibly nice and we didn't have to lift a finger to do anything. The resort has 4 different pools to choose from and fun activities, if you are an outgoing person. The restaruants were nice, a little pricey, but the service was top notch. A 15 minute ride into town and you are able to see down town Cabo, the marina and shop till your hearts content. As others have mentioned, the resort is mainly timshare owned and they try their hardest to sell you. I went to the presentation, heard what they had to say...and got $300 of free stuff to use at the resort. You can't beat that. I will 100% come back again. I never wanted to leave.
Paradise in Cabo

This place is wonderful - even better than the pics on-line. Absolutely immaculate - the rooms, the grounds, the pool areas - everything was spotless. The staff was exceptional - friendly, spoke english, attentive without being annoying. The grounds are amazing - lots of greenery, flowers in bloom, native plants - really well maintained. Very quiet and low key, ideal for relaxing - not a party resort. Most of the guests we saw were in their 40's-60's (we are mid 30's) which was fine with me. You can go in to town to hit the night life (The Office, mango Deck). We stayed in a Jr. Suite and it was plenty of room for a couple - has a kitchenette so you can stock the fridge. Fridas is very good - make a point to dine there at least once - the tables on the terrace at night are breathtaking. The sky pool is also a must at sunset - gorgeous!! This is by far one of the most beautiful and luxurious resrots I have ever stayed out - I would recommend to anyone looking to unwind, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Cabo. Don't miss the Spa - it is like nothing I have ever seen - a really unbelievalbe experience. This was the ultimate vacation!
Perfect place for a vacation

My wife and I are in our late 50's and this our third trip to Cabo. The first time we stayed at the sister PB Rose, which is walking distance to downtown Cabo. We toured the Sunset Beach resort during that first trip, immediately fell in love and purchased (junior suite every other year) what we could both afford and felt we could use. We also own a yearly timeshare that we love in Aruba, which is more accessible though not as lovely as Sunset Beach from the east coast. We had given this trip to my oldest child on his wedding two years ago, but being as busy young professionals are these days he and his wife were'nt able to take advantage of it; so we came instead. Hopefully they'll go another time.
As others have said, Sunset Beach is a lush growing resort created in a mountainside on the other side of a mountain along the Pacific. The beaches are therefore non-swimmable, but the resort has with a number of very accessible pools (with bars) throughout the resort.
We found the staff to excellent and attentive to our needs as vacationers. I had only one problem with a young women at the front desk on checkout involving a mixup with the bill. She had given me the wrong one and it wasn't obvious to me that it was for the wrong room.
The restaurants are expensive, but the food and service are excellent. We didn't eat only at the resort - we took advantage of the shuttle service to the sister resort and walked to all the downtown places.
If Cabo wasn't so far from NJ and the airlines totally ridiculous, we would come here more often.
