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!
