The resort is located about 1 hour from the airport. We drove right through downtown Cabo and then wound through the mountains down to the resort. It feels like we were entering a private, secluded estate.

Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling faces with a cool towel and drink. Check-in was a breeze. The bellhop escorted us to our room which was impeccably clean and looked brand new. The room has tile floors, white flowing curtains over the sliding glass doors that lead to a large balcony. The light in the room is best described as moody. Romantic in the evening but a little dark if we were trying to unpack or get ready in the evening. The shower was very large with a great shower head that felt like a soft rain. Water pressure and temperature was good. However, we could not really figure out how to keep the water INSIDE the shower. It leaked underneath the glass door and flooded the bathroom every single time we used it. There was no bathtub in the room.

The resort is small but beautiful. Many people in the reviews complain about the tiles falling off in the pool area and this was a concern of ours before we left. Once we arrived, however, we barely noticed it. A staff member said they plan on repairing it in September or October but will have to drain the pool. I am sure that will result in several "I went to Pacifica and they had drained the pool for our entire stay!" reviews. Can't win, right? We were also told that the resort was getting an updated fitness center, an expanded couples spa area, a new activities building, and a new deli and boutique. They also just recently added a charming canopied area with hammocks.

The resort offers beds on the beach for $30/day. It was the only cost we incurred at the resort during our entire stay (other than a few local calls). They are very competitive though. We claimed our bed at 9:30am but because we weren't on it at noon they gave it to someone else. We were surprised when we asked the couple on our bed to leave and they told us they paid for it! We had to settle for beach chairs that day instead.

The service at the resort, while very friendly and extremely accommodating, is very slow. Room service took 45 minutes to an hour. They would often leave off something from our order (salad dressing, condiments, forks, etc.) and by the time they came back the food was cold and no bueno. Admittedly I am used to a fast pace and probably could have adjusted a little better to the slower pace of the resort but it did get annoying at times. We waited 30 minutes for a coffee with Kahlua two different times. Dinner at Siempre took 2 1/2 hours.

The food is about a 3 out of 5. Siempre is great. The buffet was good on grill nights. Their sushi restaurant is not fresh and had an extremely limited menu (no salmon for example). We figured out the best meals were Siempre or room service for breakfast, lunch on the beach, and dinner either at Siempre or in our room. Fortunately you can take a shuttle to the Sunset resort just up the hill where there are even more dining options. We loved the options at Bistro.

The alcohol is free-flowing and they will give you premium brands and double shots upon request. They were able to make nearly every drink I requested.

A word on tipping. The advertisements tell you that gratuity is included but the staff encourages tipping everywhere in subtle ways. We were never treated differently for not tipping, however. (or maybe we were hence the slow service!)

We highly recommend this resort for a romantic, relaxing, kid-free vacation. It is close to downtown, intimate, beautiful, and the staff will treat you like royalty.

We stayed at the Pacifica for our honeymoon and I couldn't have been happier with our choice. It is a very laid-back, relaxing atmosphere. Not made for partiers who are looking for late-night shows/activities, which is exactly what we wanted for this trip. On the nights that we did want to go out, we just went into town (hotel shuttle is free every hour to the PB Rose, and taxi is only $12) and felt very safe the whole time. Cabo is very clean and makes sure to cater to tourists. Also, the water is clean throughout the whole city so don't waste money on bottled water, even when you're outside the resort.

The food and drinks at the Pacifica were very good, and service was excellent most of the time. If you tip well, the servers will treat you like royalty if/when you come back a 2nd time. We usually gave 20% (they still give you an itemized receipt w/ the food costs even though it's all-inclusive so you can calculate it out) Outside the Pacifica, I would recommend Fellini's Italian restaurant at the Rose. Make a reservation on the balcony so you can overlook the ocean and the arch as you eat.

Also, make sure to rent a Beach Bed one day. Absolutely worth the $30. Anytime you need food or drink you just put your flag up and a waiter will come and get you anything you need. This is something that can really only works due to the fact that Pacifica's beach is very private. There aren't any kids running around or any vendors trying (pleading) to get you to buy their junk. Just the ocean waves crashing on the shore. Very,very relaxing atmosphere.

Couple other tidbits: be sure to bring a jacket/hoody, it does get chilly at night. The wind can get quite strong. And as for the time-share presentation, we weren't bothered with it since we weren't 30 years old. Overall amazing trip and great resort. This is the first all-inclusive I've been to where I wouldn't mind coming back and staying at this exact hotel all over again.

We just returned from our trip to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica. With the exception of a couple complaints, we really enjoyed our stay here. The cabanas on the beach are awesome. We had a couples massage on the beach and I also had one at the spa. The views from everywhere in the resort are breathtaking. The beds were very comfortable. I didn't even mind that we couldn't swim in the ocean. There was a huge swell for a couple of days while we were there and it was so amazing and awesome to watch and listen to the 20' plus waves. The wind picks up now and then and it is a very cool breeze which I find refreshing. If you like to be warm all the time, you might not like this place. It does warm up during the day and then you get lots of cool breezes which I love. The only thing I didn't like about this resort was the food. I live in Southern California so we have lots of good Mexican food here. Naturally, going to Mexico, I expected the best. The food was very bland and had very little flavor. I had to beg for jalapenos to add to my lunch every day and I had to beg for tabasco sauce (that's all they had) every morning for my eggs. We ate dinner once at Siempre and that was definitely better food. The pool needs lots of tiles replaced which bothered me. This was our first trip to Cabo and I would stay here again. If you want good service by the pool or cabanas, give tips to the servers and they will treat you well. Jonathan was the best!
