This hotel is well positioned on the beachfront at a walking distance from Cabo San Lucas's central area (about 15 minutes walk) and very close to the beach bars / restaurants.

The hotel is a large pink building but most of the rooms have fantastic partial sea views of the sea and "rocks" beyond them. The rooms are large enough and clean.

I took my 8 year old son there and he enjoyed himself - the pool was very large and there were other kids around to play with. They also organise kids activities throughout the day (for a fee).

There is a good cafe with shop on the premises where free wireless internet is available (there is none in the rooms) and where there are hotel supplied internet facilities (for a fee).

In addition you can use the facilities at the Pueblo Bonito next door.

We have just returned from spending a week at Pueblo Bonito-Rose May 5-12th. It was amazing, the grounds are wonderfully maintained all the employees are very helpful. Here the customer is "King". Our studio suite was perfect and the refrigerator kept drinks almost at a freeze! We had a view that was amazing overlooking the pool and the beach. Will certainly return. The walk into town is really not bad and we enjoyed it. Took the shuttle to sister property at Sunset Beach and what another wonderful property!

Found the town has greatly changed since our last visit in 04! So much building has gone on!! Cruise ships now come in almost daily with 2 at a time and that just raises the prices of all in town. Not many bargains to be found. Even Happy hour prices have gone up. average drink poolside $7.50USD.

This property was wonderful. It was exceedingly beautiful and one of the cleanest resorts I've ever stayed at. I actually walked in on the maid one day scrubbing the balcony tile on her hands and knees. The resort is not "cutting edge" and brand new, like ME, but has a classy elegance to it, especially the pool and restaurant area. The room was spacious and clean and beautiful. Ask for an upgrade...you never know. We got a 2BR ocean view on the sixth floor. The pool bar service was top notch, especially a server named Israel. We felt so attended to, yet never pushed or smothered. The pool is impeccably clean and quite pretty. We found staff to be helpful and friendly and efficient. A decent tip goes a long way. The beach is very nice. We found the vendors to be ever-present, but not pushy. A polite "Gracias No" usually did the trick. Also, never once approached by a time share salesperson. I can't WAIT to go back to Bonito Rose. Also, highly recommend the Pez Gato snorkeling excursion...and if you can afford it, do a private charter! Muy Bonito!

We chose PBR because of the close proximity to Medano and Downtown. Everything is within easy walking distance.

The service at Rose was excellent from beginning to end. You get the feeling that the employees are happy there and it is their pleasure to serve you. Our questions and requests were always given prompt attention and the housekeeping was excellent.

The facility was very nice but a little big for our taste. This is the only reason I didn't give an "excellent" rating. We were in room 5014, halfway between elevators, and it took forever to get to the beach or out the front door. The room numbers get smaller as you get closer to the beach so I will remember that if I return and I will ask to be a little closer to the elevator. Our room also happened to be located right above the aviary and the birds woke me up every morning about 5:30.

Cleanliness is important to me and I was very pleased with this aspect of the resort. The pool area was hosed down daily and the pool bathrooms were always clean. Tables and chairs were kept clean (except for a little bird poop on the beach lounges but I can tolerate that) and even the sand was free of garbage and cigarette butts (only saw a couple of butts). And, of course, our room was immaculate each day after the housekeeper had been there. She even washed our dishes!

The beds had a pillowtop and were very comfortable - not too firm, not too soft. I slept very comfortably.

Unless you have a cell phone, there is no way to get around paying a fee of some sort to call home. We have always been prepared with the proper calling card in order to make call to the US and avoid extra charges. This was impossible to do this trip so next time we'll get the service on our cell phones and skip Mexican operators.

We prefer laying around on the beach but I did use the pool and was impressed with the cleanliness of the water and tile. I did not even see that usual sunscreen film that covers the water nor did I find scum on the tile. I was very happy with that! The water was way too warm on the first day but, due to the colder nights, the temp was much more pleasant for me later in the week. I like the colder temp but no one else did so I pretty much had the pool to myself in the mornings!

Anything you might need in a pinch is available at the little store near the lobby. As small as it was, they really tried to provide all the amenities and on some days, you might find an item that you didn't find before. There was a nice pastry/deli in the store, as well.

The food and drinks we ordered outside were typically priced and par for resort service. Food was good, mixed drinks weak but tasty (only do 2 for 1) and service was always very good.

We felt we got our money's worth and would stay there again if the price was right. I would not choose them first only because of the size of the resort - maybe PB Blanco would suit us better. But we will definitely consider PBR when making travel plans.

I thought that Pueblo Bonito Rose was a very nice property, but I probably wouldn't stay there again for minor reasons.

Liked: location, location, location!! It's close to the beach bars and a short walk into town (marina and downtown). $6 taxi ride at night if you don't want to walk in heels. The grounds are gorgeous, but there's too much shade around the pool. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Service was ok, but not great. Plenty of counter space in bathroom. Let us get a late check-out (1 hour later). I loved the spa!!!!!!! We got a couple's massage and it was AMAZING. Then later in the day, my girlfriend and I went back and sat in the whirpool and swiss shower, cold dunk, steam room...etc. Truly amazing!!

Didn't like: The pool area is very quiet because there's no beach bar to sit around. There's no swim up bar.....no music playing. so if you are looking for an active and fun place, it's not for you. I prefer the roudy pools with music playing and people laughing. I didn't like that there wasn't a whirlpool at all. That was very disappointing. I liked the rooms, but the "suite" description in our experience was deceiving in terms of the frig. They had it stocked with stuff so you had to move things around to fit anything in it. We went to store and bought food, but couldn't buy much refrigerated stuff....which defeats the purpose of having a "suite". There was no freezer. So if you're staying at this hotel for the suite, upgrade to a "real" suite....they had big refrigerators in their rooms. I also didn't like that there wasn't a full length mirror in the rooms. There is only one mirror over the sink. I like another place to put my make-up on and check my outfite before going out. That's a dumb reason not to like it, but someone else might be looking for more mirrors too. Our friends got charged for stuff that they didn't do, but it was straightened out. It wasn't a bad experience at this hotel by any means, but I wasn't SO in love that I'd have to stay here again. If you don't travel a lot and don't have super high expectations, you'll LOVE this place. My boyfriend and I travel a lot and this was just ok to us. Location would be the only reason I'd go back.

Cabo is the coolest place I've ever been and I can't wait to go back. My boyfriend and I are in our thirties and like to party, shop, lay in the sun and eat great food...this is the place for us! I wouldn't recommend Cabo to people in their twenties.....it's definitely a more mature crowd of people that still like to get crazy.

Cabo has NO humidity...I loved that!

Cabo Wabo, El squid Roe, Giggling Marlin and the Nowhere bar are the bars to visit!

I have a rule of not visiting the same place over and over, but I will make an exception for Cabo...it's the coolest place!!!!!!
