4/15-4/22/06. 2 families in two rooms – four adults (three of us 15 plus years hotel experience each) and two kids under 3 years old.. Booked via PBR's website and received a 5% discount of best rates that included non-stop from Oakland, CA to Los Cabos. $2500 for two adults, one child - included flights and 7-night hotel. We consider this a great deal since it was spring break and the east side of Mexico was really in low demand due to 05's hurricanes.
Booked Greyline private van through hotel for $95 each way via concierge from airport to hotel - seamless.
CLEANLINESS: Hotel was VERY CLEAN, and we have high standards. Poolside, bathrooms, the rooms, public areas - A+.
ROOMS: We had a kitchen but got stuck with a mini-fridge. Our friends had the same room and got a Fridge. Since we cooked in-room the lack of fridge was a big issue (bought a cooler). Request a room with a fridge! We shopped at CITY CLUB - which as big as any costco (which also happens to eb in town). City Club was a 5-minute walk and we grabbed a cab back with $300 in booze & food ($2 daily membership). Rooms had good size, very comfortable feather top bed, TV with HBO, partial water views, nice bathroom, a safe, all kitchen items (*including a blender)
PUBLIC AREAS: Pools where great, although on 5 feet at the deepest. They had a great little kids section. We did not eat on-site much, except poolside – which was fine. Drinks by the pool where $7 (2 for 1 at happy hour). But we just hauled a small cooler poolside and had out own (see blender above). Internet café is great with free wireless. They had a deli, which was easy but pricey. The Spa was $90++ for a 50 minute message, but man was it nice. The have a Swedish shower and cold Jacuzzi tubs – great atmosphere. You can take the shuttle from PBR to Pueblo Sunset and use their pools –I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do this for a day. The pools up there are great. The beach was nice – although it is one of the few swimable beaches in Cabo it still has a good undercurrent. Not bad for an adult, but not for kids.
TIME SHARE: We took the time share tour of Pueblo Sunset. It was low pressure to go – medium pressure once you got there. We got a bunch of drink coupons, $150 food credit and $60 spa credit. They said 90 minutes, but it was more like 3 hours. I would not do it again, but to each there own.
OVERALL: We felt very safe. It was clean, staff was very friendly. We picked PBR because of the beach and we did not want to be a $40 cab ride from town by being out on the corridor. We would go back. Babysitter though hotel - $12 an hour plus $10 for cab – we had Patty from deli two nights – she was great.
FOOD: Nick San: Awesome if you like Japanese (we do). Panchos – was fine but not great value for price. Mi Casa (town square) – best meal all week – LOVED IT. The Office was fun for drinks and Edith’s Café LOOKED good.
CABO: Lover beach via glass bottom boat. Walk the beach towards the OFFICE - $10 per person – good day trip. Pirate Ship – not so fun and not good for kids, snorkeling is ok at best in Cabo. Scuba: Amigos Del Mar 624.143.0505, These guys were great and had a better operation than others I saw. We done Land End & Pelican Rock - sea lions, white tip sharks – it was good.
