My girlfriend and I traveled to Cabo from the 10th until the 17th of August. Before going I did many hours of research looking for the optimal place to spend a romantic, relaxing and funfilled week in Mexico adn the reasearch deffinately paid off. The Pueblo Bonito Rose (PBR from here out) was the perfect fit for everything we were looking for.

The Rooms
There are 2 types of rooms at the PBR the studio and the suite. We stayed in the studio and it was more then enough luxury and space for the two of us, especially since we were not in the room that much. The Studio has a small living space, 2 double beds which fit together nicely and the staff will leave pushed together, an apartment style kitchenette and a very nice stone bathroom. When we arrived the room was in impecable condition and every afternoon we returned to the same because housekeeping (Cecy escpecially) do a fantastic job each day. Our view was half of the ocean and the pool and was a spectacular site to wake up to each morning. The suites offere the same with the edition of 2 seperate bedrooms for sleeping.

The Grounds/Staff
The resort was kept in beutiful order from the grass, to the cabanas to the beach area, to the poolside chairs. It was nevever difficult to find a chair and they have fresh towels avai;able at anytime that you might need them. The poolside/beach waitstaff bent over backwards to make you feel as welcome and pampered as possible with quick and very friendly service. Treat them well and it comes back tenfold. Tips a few bucks each day goes along way down there, but dont be cheap they work extremly hard. The pool is very large, big enough for volleyball, water aerobics and with enough space to still find some seclusion with any travel partner.

The Beach
The beach is beautiful and the PBR is one of the few resorts that sits on swimable water. The sea of Cortezt has beutiful warm blue water that makes for a very much need refreshement as it can get quite Hot in Cabo we felt as hot as 110 but its a dry heat and totally manageable. Vendors walk the beach at all hours but the PBR staff keep them away from you as long as you stay in their section, complete with chairs, cabanas, waitstaff and delicious sushi bar. One warning!! the sand gets HOT!, to hot to walk on without and footwear so come prepared.

The Activities
The PBR has both an activity desk both in the hotel lobby and directly on the beach. The stand on the beach was a pleasure any time we felt like doing an activity we just went up, requested somehting and could be doing out activity withing 15 minutes and very close by. The rose also has a beutiful spa. Included you will have access to the full size gym, hot tubs, steam room, cold plunge and locker room. The staff is curtious, friendly and caters to whatever it is you may need.
Reccomended Activities
1.Jetskiing
2.Swim with the dolphins (expensive but 100% worth it)
3.Sunset booze cruise (reccoment the fiesta, $35 for 3 hours open bar with dinner)
4.If you are a couple it is a must that you get a couples massage at the spa. It is one of the most romantic, relaxing and enjoyable things you can do together.
5.Take free shuttle from PBR to the Pueblo Bonito Sunset and spend they day their is a gorgeous sister resort with a more adult oriented setup

Night Life
My girlfriend and I are both 25 so this was a big part of our trip. Downtown Cabo is a 5 minute cab ride from the PBR. Cabs are always accessible and are always reasobably priced, most times a ride will be $6 There are many small bars in the arera that will quench your thirst for a reasobal bill but the best places to be are the Gigglin Marlin, El Squid Roe and of Course CABO WABO!! and the ZOO. The ZOO ia more of a nighclub atmosphere but dont go until atelast 12 as its more of a latenight spot. Cabo Wabo is a ton of fun with great local cover band and delicous drinks. (cant drive 55 and the waborita were my favorite)

Overall
Honestly, after spenading a week at the PBR we didnt have one bad thing to say about the place. It was everything we could have wanted in a resort and more. Cabo San Lucas is a great place for a vacation wheather it be family style or romantic. People often complain about the timeshare people, and while they are clearly present at all time a simple no gracias is all you need and they will be on their way. Our only negative that we could find is the young children who walk the streets selling gum and tinkets for a buck, they can gutwrenching to see. Other than that i would fully reccomend a stay at the Pueblo Bonito Rose in Cabo. It made for a fantastic getaway.

We had a great time at the Rose, the staff was great, very helpful and friendly, it is close to town, we walked to town every day or night, our kids had a blast, the food was very good at the buffet, we ate there several times, the wireless internet worked, nice store and deli on site, we were very comfortable there. The best part was the staff. The only complaint was the mosquitos, we were on the ground floor next to a fountain which may have been why.

We stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Rose from 7/28 until 8/4. This place is fabulous. I traveled with my husband and my two children ages 15 and 4. Everyone had a wonderful time. The accomodations were first class. Each and every person did their best to make our stay memorable. I must mention Milton, Fernanda and Lariemy at the concierge desk. They are knowlegable and friendly. Then there is Reyna at the front desk. These people are first class and the PBR is lucky to have them. The poolside service was excellent and fast. The pools were clean. Our room attendant Paty kept our place immaculate even when we filled the room with beach sand. I must mention some places that are a must visit. First there is a seafood place, Mariscos Mazatlan. Then there is the office. A bit overpriced but the service and atmosphere are great. Then there is a little place on the beach called Las Palmas. They hijacked us on the way to the office with stories of their fresh fish and low prices. How right they were. We also visited a place called La Golongringa. I know that I spelled this wrong but if you ask the conceirge they will direct you. The food and service were top notch. We also swam with the dolphins which was great. The kids loved it. The ATV tour was fabulous and even my 4 year old loved it. He rode on the front of my ATV. We loved the aerobics at the pool and my 4 year old loved the kids activites. There were plenty of teenagers there for my daughter. We met some wonderful people and also visited the Sunset. It is a beautiful resort but I liked the Rose better. Something about seeing the same faces at the big pool each day made it fell like home away from home for the week. We loved the resort so much that we didn't venture into town much. We did most of our shopping on the beach. The vendors were friendly and happy to do business with you. The Rose got so much bad press on trip advisor that I almost cancelled. I am so glad that I did not. We even toyed with the idea of extending our stay but could not get through to the airlines on Sunday. This place is great from the personell to the acommodations. Check it out for yourself.

The hotel is a 4-star hotel decorated in Italian-Meditteranean style I believe. They try to pitch the 90-minute breakfast to you right away under the guise of "We'll give you your welcome packet". If you have time, the discounts can be nice. We were offered $36.00 massages at the spa and $100 off our total bill.
When we declined, they said they would also throw in 2 bottle of tequila, which did not excite us, so they offered a free trip to El Arco, which we both had been to. So it seems there are various things you can get out of it depending on who you are (family, couple, friends traveling). We declined it all because we were only there for three days and didn't want to waste the time.

It's very close to town, a 5 block walk on a straight road. I booked a junior suite and it was very nice. The room was clean, pleasantly decorated in yellows, light greens and oranges whites. We were on the 6th floor, which had a partial view of the ocean, and a nice breeze that came through the room all the time. We never used the AC. Our room had a small kitchenette. It had a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and even included plates, cups, and kitchen utensils! In another cabinet there were medical items should you need them (Pepto, Excedrin, Dramamine, etc) and in the basket they had microwave popcorn, and other snacks. The room is quite well equipped.

On the last day I discovered they had a deli downstairs with a small market. It has everything from cereal to fresh fruit, snacks, drinks, coffees, and sweets. The deli looked like they made sandwiches and salads, and they had a selection of cakes you could choose from. Seems ideal for families.

If you go out the hotel and turn left at the gate, go three blocks, there is a local mini market that is great for buying bottled water, beer, snacks, medicines, and of course tequila for much less than the hotel.

They cleaned the room thoroughly everyday. The shower was quite strong, so much so that I had to turn it way down. No shortage of water use there. The staff were fine. Some were not so pleasant, but the pleasant ones compensated for the few that were not.

I did not go in the pool, but it looked ideal for kids. They have lots of activities for kids and adults to do in/by the pool. The beach has lounge chairs with cabanas, and the vendors on the beach come by but cannot go past the plastic chain they set up.

They have an ATM machine, Internet and fax use, and spa. Overall I'd say it is a nice hotel. One person commented that the caged birds were noisy, but I imagine they must have been right next to it. I really enjoyed hearing them in the morning. One thing that bothered me a bit in the beginning was this constant humming noice that sounded like it ws coming from some machine/generator. It never stopped, but eventually I must have gotten used to it because I don't remember caring about it towards the end of the trip.

On a scale of 1 - 5 , 5 being the best, they are a 4 in my book. Mostly they try really hard to make it pleasant, and most staff are very, very nice. There are a few that are grumpy and unpleasant, and that's too bad. However, it is getting quite developed, so it's not surprising that some people who work there may be frustrated. Tourist can be annoying sometimes. :-)
