“Pacific Serenity”

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach

Jul 17, 2005
18/21 found this review helpful

We just returned from a week at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach and loved it so much that we are already planning our return trip. We first visited this resort on a timeshare tour in 2002. We were impressed with the concept of the resort at that time, but it was maybe 25% complete. We told ourselves we would return some day when it was built out.

Over the past few years we've watched the reviews for this resort and wondered what our experience would be because of the range of reactions to the property. I can say from our experience that we LOVE Sunset Beach.

PB Sunset Beach is not for the party crowd that bounces between Squid Roe, Cabo Wabo and the Giggling Marlin. It lies on the Pacific side just north of the Pedregal development (where Oprah, Sly, Sammy, etc. have homes). You cannot swim in the Pacific at Sunset Beach because of the tremendous currents, but just sitting on our patio enjoying the crashing waves was enough ocean for us.

The resort is nestled into a mountainside which cascades down to the beach. Each hacienda-style building is tiered so that no view is blocked. We had a first floor room and still had a great view of the ocean. Winding trails around the resort are navigated by countless golfcarts which transport you from the awesome main pool by the beach to the lobby at the top - and all points in between. The carts run continuously and you never wait more than 5 minutes to get wherever you want to go.

The main pool was crowded, but not unreasonable. We were able to find lounge chairs every day, and even a cabana on different occasions. There is great poolside service and a swim-up bar at the pool as well. There are two other pool areas further up the resort which were much less crowded. One has poolside menu service and another swim-up bar. All the pools are gorgeous, with multiple levels, spas, children's pools, etc.

Our room was a 2 bedroom Presidential Suite which can sleep 8. The master bedroom has a king bed and sitting area. The large bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub. The other bedroom has 2 queen beds. The living area is large with a nice kitchen. The rooms are appointed beautifully with ceramic tile, granite countertops, and cherry cabinetry. The suite was probably close to 1700 sf. if you include the awesome 40'x12' patio.

Our only recommendation to make the trip better is to know what you are getting into with the resort's timeshare presentation. They'll ask you immediately upon arrival if you will see their 90 minute presentation, and offer you incentives. We received $300 in meal/beverage credits, useable at any of the Pueblo Bonito resorts. If you are polite and tell them you are not interested, or mention to them that you are familiar with the resale market, they tend to leave you alone.

We had a great experience at this resort. The food at the restaurants was not the best, but acceptable. The poolside tapas (appetizer type foods) were excellent. There is a free hourly shuttle into town which takes you to their other resort, the Rose'. We would also take a $10 cab ride into town to get us to the specific store or restaurant we wanted to get to.

If you're looking for a vacation destination which provides the opportunity for true relaxation, this is a great choice.

The Pueblo Bonito at Sunset Beach (PBSB) is all that it is cracked up to be, one very excellent resort. Let me start with the check in that was very efficient and throughly explained. We did take advantage of the LOW pressure timeshare pitch and put the $150 coupon for the restraurant and the $100 for the SPA to good use. We were in unit 1131 which is a Presidential Suite and over 2100 square feet. Our daughter and son in law had the 2d BR. As everyone knows it is built on a mountain but the walking of the golf cart paths is very easy (I'm 60). We did take advantage of the prompt and courteous carts from time to time, tippin the driver $1 each time. The maid service was wonderful and thorough. There are 4 pools and the service and meals at the Aqua Bar is great. The partial kitchen only lackes an oven and has everything you need, we cooked breakfast every day, the coffee pot takes #2 cone filters. The water throughout the resort as all of the restraurants is OK to drink. The shuttle service to their sister resort, the Rose, is very punctual and puts you right down town and walking distance from everything you need. A cab was used to go to the CCC store to buy groceries. The check out process was just as efficient and the cab service back to the airport was the same price as the Cape Travel shuttle they arranged for us from the airport. Travel time is about 50 minutes. I can't say enough about the staff and ground keepers, it is a beautiful resort and extremely well maintained. The beach is pristine but you CANNOT swim in the ocean, once you watch the 12 foot waves for awhile one will understand why. Will surely go back.

We just returned from our stay at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. We have 3 kids 15,17, 19 and all three of them loved our stay. Many hotels are geared for younger families, but here there are things for older kids too. They loved the main pool, pool activities and the beach sports. There were a lot of high school age kids here which made if fun for our kids. There is a "walk in" pool, perfect for babies or toddlers. If you want to have a peaceful, quiet pool, there is also one that is quiet.

It is too bad you can't swim in the ocean or skimboard etc, but we loved watching the waves in the Pacific. They are huge!! By taking the free shuttle over to the Rose, you can rent waverunners, go parasailing, skimboard etc....At first it bothered me to have to go to the Rose to do these things, but after doing them, I was glad to go back to Sunset Beach. It was much quieter and cooler. The ocean breeze kept the 96 degree temp. tolerable to our northern blood and there were no vendors to deal with constantly. In fact, bring a light sweater and pants for the evenings if you get cold easily. We loved the coolness.

We went horseback riding, ATVing, and on a dinner cruise and all passed the teenage fun test. All were organized by the hotel concierge efficiently and quickly. Both the horseback riding and ATVing was fun for those of us with little or no experience with either. The horseback riding was beautiful along the beach and really fun in the desert. The ATVing was a blast for all of us.

We went into town and had dinner at Cabo Wabo (it was surprisingly good) and Mi Casa (wonderful, but more touristy than I expected). We had heard several times that Edith's is a fabulous place to go for dinner, but we didn't make it there.

When we went into town, other than going to the Rose area, we took cabs. It seemed we always wanted to go to the other end of town. The bellman would call for a cab and in a minute or two it was there. When you want to come home there are taxi stands and you can pick up a cab easily.

The golf carts are wonderful at the end of the day when you don't feel like walking uphill. Most of the time we walked, but we did enjoy talking to the drivers. They are great sources of info. Our kids met other kids riding from one place to another. And, they were everywhere....you never had to wait long to get a ride.

There were only two complaints that we had....We had a larger suite and it was supposed to accomodate 4 adults. I'm not sure what adults they were thinking of. There is no way two adults could possibly sleep on the pull out couch. It was like a twin bed and a half. We ordered two rollaways which were fine, but were more like cots.

The other complaint has been mentioned here before. Housekeeping is inconsistent....at best. When we ordered the rollaways, we assumed they would come with linens, but didn't. It took several phone calls to get them squared away, but at midnight it wasn't fun. Finally, we thought things were taken care of only to have housekeeping strip the beds the next day, but not replace the sheets on the rollaways or the pull out couch.....another round of phone calls. The worst thing is that it happened again. We always tried to reuse towels, but I like to have clean washcloths everyday. Most of the time they took the dirty ones, but didn't replace them. On the weekend, no one came in the room at all. For what we spent on the room, housekeeping shouldn't be an issue. However, to us these were annoying, but minor in comparison to the rest that the resort has too offer.

I did appreciate the security that the hotel provided. I liked having to provide our name and room number at the gates. The security was also all over the hotel grounds as were the golf carts. With kids who wanted to walk around and "check" things out, it made me feel better to know that several people were making the rounds constantly. Although, the evenings were so pleasant that there were tons of people walking around.

We were never approached at the resort to buy timeshare. Although, we met many owners who love coming back every year and I can see why. It was great....pleasant and quiet, but not boring. If you want the party atmosphere, and sometimes we did, it's a cab ride away....close enough for us.

We visited last year and took the timeshare presentation. In our lives we have gone on many timeshare presentations and just said no. We love to lead them on and take thier goodies and then say no! But this place sold itself. Still, throughout the past year, my wife had buyers remorse. But we stayed there June 20-28 and it was fantastic!

We had a beautiful Executive Suite. So beautiful and peaceful there. The staff was amazing. We met great people at the pool. The food in all restaraunts was great and the ambiance at La Nao was terrific. We rented a car, so we drove into downtown Cabo several times to enjoy the night life, parasail, eat at the marina. Parking was no problem and the trip is so short, it is an enjoyable ride.

I'll treasure my quiet morning having ocffee on the balcony and watching the fishing boats head out through my binoculars. It is fairly hilly, but not that bad to walk from bottom to top......but why would you with golf carts running every 3 minutes! The gym and the spa were wonderful too!

We can't wait to go back.

“Great, except for...”

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach

Jun 20, 2005
24/26 found this review helpful

Stayed at PB Sunset beach for 7 days.

Positives:
Extremely well manicured property, beautiful.
Great food. Great food in Cabo, in general!! The shrimp coctail, guac, spinich dip, ceviche were all great. And the lunch at the deli was reasonable $$ too. We ordered room service and ate on our private balcony -- very romantic and nice.
Beautiful beach -- secluded and great to walk on (the sand can get a little rough on the insoles of your feet).
The spa massage was AWESOME!
Great staff and very friendly -- except for...

Now the negatives -- don't expect immediate response like you'd get in another hotel for things that need fixing/things that are missing -- when we checked in, we didn't have a remote for the tv, the fan didn't work, and we didn't have a hairdryer. It took the whole day and 3 phone calls to get this fixed. Same deal when the in-room safe broke. And we had a package sent to the room that never showed up -- even after repeated phone calls. We finally got it the next day -- but no one knew where it had been for a day.

Finally -- I agree with the other reviewers -- it's very secluded and a GREAT PLACE to stay if you don't want to be "where all the action is" -- but not a good place if you want to be in more of a "spring break" atmosphere. But -- the shuttle takes you downtown for free -- and you can go there and get a nice dinner and come back to PB Sunset where it's more quiet.
