I spent a week at the Pueblo Bonito Rose and although it is a very pretty resort with nice rooms, to me it was lacking. It is very large and the elevators are very far apart so there can be a lot of walking to get to your room. Also, most of the rooms do not have an ocean view, and the room we were in looked over the roof of the building across the way, being very noisey hearing the air conditioning units in the roof.
Also, the resort did not seem to have a warm and friendly atmosphere. I actually prefer the Villa del Palmar or Club Cascadas.

My husband and I stayed at the Rose. Clean well appointed gym and spa, excellent massages, room clean, large, very small kitchen. Maybe better if you have small children to feed, but we really used the refrigerator. Watch out for timeshare vendors unless you are really interested we passed and were told we did the right thing from others. We thought the food at the Rose and next door at the Blanco was good. Same for Mi Casa, The Original Trailerpark (lobster) The Office on the beach. Beware of vendors on beach, better buys in town, All in all we highly recommend the Rose. Also rented a car their and went exploring. Driving was not a problem.

My husband and I stayed at the rose for our Honeymoon, August 25th thru the 3rd of sept. The hotel was wonderful. The beds were a little hard and it was almost impossible to shave my legs in the shower. {no ledge to put your foot on.} Other than that it was absolutely perfect. We are definetely going back and we will either stay at the rose or the blanco. The pool was wonderful at the Rose , the pool at the Blanco seemed a little quieter.{Less Children}. The restaurant at the Rose was wonderful, We went to grill night and i had the best filet mignon that i ever had. The location is perfect. you have four beach bars within walking distance and the food at all of them was terrific. When you go ask for a sunset beach /half strawberry daiquiri and half mango!!! It was a great place to go on a Honeymoon .

My husband and I stayed at the Rose' last year for our anniversary-Wow!! We had such a fantastic time, and found it hard to venture out off the resort. The spa is the best I've ever seen, fabulous restaurants, gorgeous pool/cabana area, etc, etc. We spent alot of our days unfortunately doing the timeshare pitch at other resorts, and each time we came back to the Rose' and felt So lucky that it was the best!! Disadvantages: "some" ants in the room, but it's Mexico, what do you expect??; vendors bugging you on the beach; have to pay to use the gym; no jacuzzi on premises. We will definately go back to the Rose'. We thought it was "a best kept secret" until "The Bachelorette" and Charlie stayed there for their fantasy date last year on ABC!!
