Just returned home yesterday 7/15/08 and posted this on 7/16/08. The hotel was very clean, easy walking distance to downtown and pier. Service was great - Margarito by the pool was very attentive yet allowed privacy. The food was very good and although many people have commented that it is pricey it's no different anywhere else that you would want to eat.

The room was just fine - 5th floor balcony overlooked the ocean and pool area and was well kept. It was very quiet and the security was great!

The only negative was the "pitch" for the timeshare at Pueblo Bonita Pacifico but after a no, they left us alone. The only problem was the fact that the employees receive "points" for the tourists that agree to go over to the Sunset for a sales presentation.. They offered $200 towards your food & liquor plus 1/2 hour massage and a free breakfast before your sales meeting. We passed on it all but did go over to the Sunset to check it out. Most of it built on the cliffs of the Pacific ocean side - can't walk to the beach but had stunning views of the Pacific.

We had a wonderful time and would highly reccommend this to others and will do it again!

P.S. DO NOT TAKE THE TOUR TO TODOS LOS SANTOS!!!
It was a waste of a day and $150 including lunch. Also the
Tequila Sunrise Restaurant was very dissappointing and
expensive for the food that was "authentic". Also the
vendors were more expensive and less willing to barter.

I spent a week at the resort the last weekend in March. The Resort is beautiful. The hotel is a horseshoe and we had a room that was directly over the sand. The room has a huge balcony that over looks the water. This is not a brand new resort but everything is emaculate. This is the cleanist place I have ever stayed and its in Mexico go figure. They are constantly cleaning, the maid came twice a day and there are people throughout the resort who are always cleaning. The rooms seem fairly updated with a small kitchen with a microwave and a small fridge. I stayed in a one bedroom, there were 2 beds in the bedroom and a pull out coach in the living room. It had two full baths in the unit as well.

I read in previous reviews that they had a problem with pool or beach chairs. It didnt seem to be much of a problem but we put a book out to save some good chairs. I also read issues with the beach peddlers but they never bothered us and didnt ruin the beach experience.

The only negatives for me was the walk to town was not that great. You had to walk in the street part of the way and had to walk through some ugly areas. I never felt unsafe but it would be nice if there was a path along all of these beautiful resorts instead of this ugly walk behind. The 2nd is the prices of food and drink. Do not go down thinking this will be cheap. The food is the same price as Orange County where I live. There is an occasional cheap meal to be had in the back streets of town and the food seemed ok but you werent really sure about the cleanliness of the place.

All in all a great trip and a great resort.

  • Liked — The view from the room.

My husband and I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Blanco for a week in May 2008. We had a wonderful time.

The hotel was within walking distance to downtown and all of the great restaurants in the area. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Our first room did have an obstructed view so we asked to be moved to a higher floor. They moved us to the third floor in the center of the building. The view was fantastic.

The pool was a good size. It did get a little crowded so you needed to get there early to save a good spot. The hotel staff had many different activities going on during the day: Lessons on folding towels into various animal shapes, lessons on making different cocktails, volleyball. They always had quite a large group participating. Everyone we spoke with seemed to be having a great time and loved the Pueblo Bonito.

The ocean was a little rough for me. I would typically bring my float from home and float in the ocean for most of the day. Even though the Pueblo Bonito is on Medano Beach, which is the only swimable beach in Cabo, the waves are too strong to be floating. Most people were using boogie boards. So we spent most of our time by the pool.

I would definitely stay at the Pueblo Bonito again when we return to Cabo, which we definitely will do!

Have a great trip!

With the number of resorts available making a decision from Australia was difficult, but using tripadvisor as a guide proved to be a good decision. Resort location right on the beach was great and the rooms very comfortable, spacious & with good views. Pool area was good along with the service. Time share pressure inisde the hotel was a bit dissappointing but did not spoil the overall experience. Plenty of time share pressure outside the resort but we were warned about this in advance. Unfortunately its part of Cabo.

Overall we were very happy with our stay.

My wife and I tried really hard to like Pueblo Bonito Blanco, but there were just too many problems with the hotel and especially the staff.

We visited in June 2008 for an extended weekend. The first thing we noticed was that the lobby was torn up for renovations. Hotel failed to warn us. We had asked for a room with a king size bed, but were told none were available. We stayed for three nights in room 323, which had a nice balcony overlooking the flamingos. (Quickly grew accustomed to the strange sounds these birds make throughout the night, but light sleepers might have a problem.) The maid was very helpful, she even pushed the two twin beds together to make one huge bed. The other "furniture" is made out of concrete and white plaster; you will bang the heck out of your feet at least once before you get the hang of this strange arrangement.

After three days, we were rudely thrown out of room 323 by Arturo who announced that the "owner" had unexpectedly arrived. Turns out that Pueblo Bonito Blanco is a timeshare facility. You will be reminded constantly by everyone that works there; from "Grandpa" the maitre de to Elly the concierge to the young man who works the beachfront activities. (If you cannot get $200 off the price of activities for listening to a hard sale presentation, then you don't have a pulse.) Arturo tried to blame the situation on us, and then finally gave us room 518. The room had positives and negatives. A plus: it didn't have concrete furniture. A negative: like half the rooms in the hotel, this room had the bedroom located next to the walkway (think Motel 6) so every passing group will wake you up if a light sleeper. To make matters worse, the bedroom was next to the elevator which plays Mexican music all night long. The lock on the bedroom window was broken, and the hotel was unable (unwilling) to repair it.

The two dining areas served average to poor quality food for a resort. Kids should be happy, but adults will look elsewhere.

Kids seem to love the swimming pool. Many of the adults decided to brave the horde of kids rather than the constantly present (and agressive) beach vendors. The vendors really spoiled an otherwise wonderful view from the beach from chairs. Probably didn't have more than a dozen homeless people approach us the entire time we were there, and the staff was quick to intervene, except at night.

The hotel is located down several back streets from the main road, so highway noise is not a problem. Security does a good job of watching the front entrance, but I would not recommend walking the streets in the area after dark. We were very glad that we rented a car.

Cabo San Lucas is very touristy. A friend commented that every citizen of Cabo San Lucas is trained in school to sell timeshares. At first I laughed, but later I began to think he was right. Every vendor on the beach, every waiter, every store merchant, every "information" kiosk operator, every car rental agent. Even the bell boy. If the hotel can ditch the timeshares (and the staff that constantly hawk the timeshare sales), then we might consider returning. If not, then forget it.

Pst! Amigo, you want a great deal on a timeshare?
