Pueblo Bonito Pacífica Resort

Great romantic escape!!! They have everything you ever need. And Aliyah accommodated us so wonderfully. I was proposed to here and Aliyah did everything to help my fiancé surprise me with the most romantic proposal any girl can ask for (without me even suspecting a thing!) everyone here is so sweet and accommodating. Thank you for making it a special moment to last forever.
Ps. It’s all inclusive! Endless tequila and taco heaven!!!

I was expecting something equal to the amount I spent to stay here. Massively dissapointed, verging on asking for my money back.
Staff was for the most part rude and expected to be tipped constantly for even paying attention to you. I was ignored at the bar until i tipped and even then I had to tip on every drink. They would forget orders or even flat out ignore you.
I ordered a movie and the cleaning lady showed up at 5pm because she forgot our room and if she didnt clean then she wouldnt return until the next day. Needless to say, I didnt watch the movie. When i asked them to reverse the charge, they said they needed to double check to see if what I was saying was true. (I was understanding and tried to not take it personally) –they never refunded that movie btw.
Biggest issue, the atm in the lobby took my card and reset. I told them they needed to retreive my card and i was told «it’s not our problem, you need to call the bank» and «just cancel your card». They accepted ZERO responsibility for the comfort of their guest, and told me they had no responsibility for it at all. Even though the atm is on their property for their guests.
The bank then refused to return my card and since again they said «that’s your problem».
Never again will I stay here and i will tell everyone I know about the issues with this resort.
Stay at your own risk, but you’ve been warned.

The resort is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. However, the pricing is misleading and not fully transparent. The rate sheet we received for a wedding was $ 300 USD a night. But when we arrived they said for double occupancy they would charge an extra $ 150 USD per night. This was not clear in the rate sheet, nor was it clear on the website when the reservation was booked. They are many other hotels closer to San Jose Del Cabo that are also 4+ stars and all inclusive for less than half the price of the wedding promotional rate. I wouldn’t mind paying the rate but the non transparent pricing structure makes me feel like I’m being swindled.

A friend recommended Pueblo Bonito Pacifica and our vacation was saved! My girlfriend and I started out our vacation at ME Cabo, with extremely loud and terrible house music blaring from the pool and children running up and down the hallway. We were told the «music» would stop at 8, then someone else said it could go till midnight. Already in Cabo, we decided to give it a shot. Now, I’m no stick in the mud. I’m a 40 year old DJ from Los Angeles and my girlfriend is 36. We party every weekend. But we wanted to get away from all that. After one night, we realized that ME Cabo was not the place for us and cancelled the remaining 3 days of our reservation.
Upon arrival, the place is absolutely beautiful. As soon as we set foot on the property, were were greeted with warm smiles and cold mojitos. The next thing we noticed is how wonderfully quiet and relaxing the resort is. No loud music, no screaming children. Girlfriend and I have kids of our own, but again, we are on VACATION and want to get away from all that! Within minutes, they accepted our booking and even upgraded us to an ocean view room (recommended).
Everything from that point was phenomenal. The room was beautiful, the pool was great, and the food was delicious, from the poolside snacks to the amazing restaurant Siempre. Seriously some of the best food I’ve had at a resort. Drinks were great, generous with the pour, even though it is all inclusive.
I must also talk about the amazing staff. Absolutely everyone was friendly and helpful. The people that stood out to us were Alexis, who took our bags and helped us with other general info. Cynthia who checked us in, and was on site for the remainder of our vacation, was very helpful and courteous. And Juan, the poolside waiter, who kept our cocktails coming.
Overall, this getaway was exactly what we needed, and Pueblo Bonito Pacifica and staff were the main reason it was so wonderful. If a quiet, relaxing getaway is what you’re looking for, this is the place. If I had to think of a complaint, then it is that this resort has raised the bar so high that I’m afraid other vacations might not live up to this place. We can’t wait to come back.

A big shout out to Martin who took real care of us. All the staff were great and we loved the property. You also get access to their other 4 properties which is nice. Can’t wait to go back again.

I have been to Pacifica, as a guest, four times now. Loved it so much we ended up buying one of the houses in Montecristo Estates and rooms at Pacifica for alternating years. As most of the reviews state, if you want to «party» this isn’t the resort for you. Pacifica is holistic and adults only, and you can often feel like you’re the only person there even though you know there’s many guests registered. That’s actually good for me, because it really gives me a chance to relax. Siempre is good, as is the deli. I also like to go over to Sunset Beach and eat at La Nao or go into town. At night, it’s great to throw open the balcony doors and listen to the waves crash while looking at the stars. I also recommend the spa. I’ve gotten facials, hair cuts, and other treatments. As relaxing as the resort is, the spa treatments are like the cherry on top.

Beautiful adult-​only resort that serves amazing food. This place is really quiet though and seems empty (which isn’t very appealing for someone like me!). It would be nice for couples that just want to spend time alone though :) There’s this bonfire buffet thing that goes on at night with a DJ, but they end pretty early. Overall, this isn’t the resort for partying. I didn’t get the chance to visit any of the sister resorts, but this one seems to be the most secluded one.
My mom and I ate dinner at Siempre and since it was all-​inclusive, we each ordered an appetizer, an entrée, and dessert! I also got a glass of Chardonnay, which the waiter automatically refilled for me when my glass was ¼ full. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal that would have costed over $ 100 if we were just regular patrons without an all-​inclusive plan at the resort. NOTE: you must make a reservation, even though there may be tables available when you walk in.
The breakfast was great too– so many options and the display of the baked goods were beautiful!
I doubt I will stay here again (my mom found an amazing deal for a one-​night stay here so we went for it), but it was overall a great experience.

Decent place to stay. There’s really nothing that stand out with this place though. It’s very reclusive … BUT
This is part of a chain of hotels (sisters) connect to 4 other places. 2 more within the cart/​driving range and 2 more downtown. If you have all inclusive to this place, then you can go to all their sister hotels and enjoy.
I usually stay here since its the cheapest and then just take the free ride to the other hotels to enjoy their commodities.
This place have a nightly bonfire that you can enjoy.
FYI: wifi sux so enjoy the sun instead

Polite staff, beautiful views, clean rooms, excellent food quality. They have free shuttles between their various properties. Wonderful restaurants to try (La Frida & Quivera Steakhouse). Best of all, Pacifica was really quiet even during the start of spring break week. I’m thinking of my next visit there already!

We are very happy of our decision to come here. This place offered the relaxation and get away my husband and I needed.
Pacifica is interesting. Adults only… but super quiet. But the cool thing is, if you are looking for a little more entertainment and noise, the other part of the resort.:Sunset is a shuttle ride away. And then after you are done, you can come back to Pacific.
We ended up buying into the vacation club, which is funny cuz our first day here sucked. Lol. We went down to by the pools to get some dinner. We were not greeted, and after searching for someone we were seated. It took about 10 mins before our server came to us to get our drink orders… then, it took another 20 mins to get our drinks. In fear of never seeing him again, we didn’t let him leave until he took our order. Now mind you, the place was a ghost town. So, not sure why the neglect. Anyhow, long story longer… after waiting for 45 mins after we got our drinks, we just left. So yeah…
The next day tho, we walked around a bit and this place is truly amazing and beautiful. The views are impeccable and majority of the staff really do want to make sure you have a good time.
Hubby and I like to work out, the gym over at sunset is the largest gym I have ever been at in a resort. And it has a lovely view too. Not like the basement gym at Pacifica.
The sky pool at Sunset has a lovely view of the ocean and a nice place to have some fun. Looking for more quiet, the pools at Pacifica are almost empty. lol. But hey, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
And oh yes, can’t forget the golf here. Although quite expensive… unless you listen to a time
Share package… this is the most beautiful golf course I have ever played on. Seriously, the views are breath taking. Well done. And they have these «comfort stations» in between holes. Which is nice. Let’s not forget we are on vacation… the stations offer food and drinks. So all you uptight golfers… relax, and have a cocktail and enjoy the scenery.
Lots to be said here. The shuttle service and taxi service is quite fast. We went into town almost every night. And didn’t have a problem doing so. So yeah, we are definitely looking forward to coming back here at least once a year in the future

What a fantastic resort. The food and service were perfect. Very clean. Very quiet. We will be coming back for sure.

The property — beautiful property, peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, zen-​like landscaping, 2 serene pools, 1 w/​pool bar, other w/​view of the ocean and sunset. Large Jacuzzi, comfy lounge chairs, lovely spa, fitness center, lounging beds on the sand overlooking the crashing waves (this beach is not swimmable, but you can take free shuttle to Pueblo Bonito Rose or Blanco on Medano beach to swim).
The restaurants– the food was very good for the most part, from the pool bar (enjoyed the fish tacos and shrimp burritos and salads), to Siempre (had a good dinner w/​great appetizers, salads delicious parrot fish and steak) very good sushi dinner at Pescados, and some really good appetizers at Horizons on ««Oriental» night, but entrees were not so good. Breakfast buffet at Siempre was quite good, and Champagne brunch on Sunday was very nice.
The room — we were in Deluxe Ocean Front rooms, and they did have a nice ocean view. The rooms themselves were beautifully decorated; nice bathrooms. Not as large or fancy as some of the resorts, and they appeared to all be «suites,» as opposed to having separate bedrooms (which I prefer, since I like to wake up early and have some space to myself without waking up my husband), but overall, very nice.
Activities — not too many activities, but did have some yoga on the beach, fitness classes, ping pong, and other various activities at the activity center. I had the yoga on the beach w/​Gabriel the first morning we were there at 7 a.m., and it was incredible. He was wonderful, the setting was stunning, with crashing aqua waves behind us, and the sun rising above the rugged rocks down the beach. I was actually the only guest who showed up, so it was a private class, and was one of the most memorable moments of my trip.
Spa — we made about 10 spa appointments for the 14 of us, and everyone I talked to said they had a great massage, facial or whatever their spa experience was. My 50-​minute massage w/​Gabriella really was wonderful. We received a 20% discount for booking 8+ massages, upon request.
Off-​site activities — favorites this trip were: surfing through a local guide, sportsfishing through Minerva’s, boat trip to El Arco through Pueblo Bonito Tours in front of Pueblo Bonito Rose, and, of course, bar-​hopping in town — live band at Cabo Wabo, but primarily dancing at the nightclub to Mandala w/​table service (Don Julio + all the mixers); some fun dance music and music videos. Lots of good looking, young people, and was a popular spot for bachelorette, bachelor and birthday parties.
Service — we have now stayed at all four of the Pueblo Bonito properties in Cabo — Pacifica, Sunset, Blanco and Rose — over the past 4 years, and I have to say that service seemed most lacking this time. The servers were still generally friendly, but there just weren’t enough of them. It could take a really long time to get a drink at the swim-​up bar, because there were only 2 bartenders for a pool-​full of thirsty guests (and many of them were ordering «fancy» blended drinks that took awhile to make). Likewise, at dinner our first night, the restaurant (Siempre) didn’t look overly crowded, but our waiter started by apologizing that they only had 3 servers for the whole restaurant, so we probably would not get good service (which turned out to be predominantly true). Also, the servers that we did see were working often incredibly long shifts — we’d see them at 9 in the morning working hard, and they were still there at dinner at 7 at night.
Check-​out and overcharges — unfortunately, check-​out was a nightmare. Long story short, although we had paid in full for all-​inclusive for 14 people in advance, on check-​out, they charged us an additional $ 7K. Eventually, within the following week, they did credit us back these funds and comped our spa charges. So, I’m still giving the Pacifica 5 stars, but it was a very stressful and upsetting ending to an otherwise really good trip.

While the resort is clean and gorgeous.
BEWARE: you have to make reservations and be on a schedule to eat dinner.
There is only 2 places on the resort to eat and both menus are OK.
The breakfast is OK but they’ll seat you at a dirty table and you’ll have to ask for napkins and silvers.
The wifi is awful so forget getting any work done.
This place is extremely quiet passed 7pm so if you don’t plan to leave your resort… There is nothing to do.
People are very kind
Room service is decent before 11pm

Could not have asked for a better vacation. For the most part, I had not a single complaint.
Location: 45 minutes from the airport and on the tail end of Cabo San Lucas which was nice. Our party of 4 booked a private car which worked out great since we didn’t have make stops elsewhere.

Since it was my 3^rd trip to Cabo, I didn’t mind it being on the other side of everything. A cab into town was $ 14 and split between 4 people it wasn’t bad at all.
Bellhop: Super friendly greeting and champagnes within arrival. They got us a shuttle and cab quickly every time.
Lobby: Beautiful zen like lobby that smells like a spa.
Check-​in: Smooth and fast. We were able to get a room in the same building as our friends which was nice.
Room: Clean, minimum, and very comfortable. I think almost every room in the resort has an ocean view. Our beds were very comfortable and I had a great night sleep every night. The shower had great water pressure and hot water. Mini-​fridge was stocked with soda, beer, and water. Just wished it was cooler for the drinks.
Ambiance: Very relaxing and quiet. It never felt like there were a lot of people at all. The patrons were mainly couples, lots of honeymooners and a baby mooners at the resort. If you are looking for something more lively this resort might not be the one for you. I think we had stayed a little longer, couple of us would have gone over to Sunset next door for some entertainment.
Bars: Swim up, restaurant bar, and sport bar by the lobby. I wish there was an outdoor bar but the only one that was outdoors was in the pool so if you wanted a drink while outside you would have to flag down a waiter. The sports bar is only open at night. It would be nice if they opened during the day too. Pacifica doesn’t cheap out on their pours. Each drink was nice and strong. There are a few charges for top shelf liquor but I was ok with what they had.
Restaurants:
Siempre: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Really great food and service. I had no complaints what so ever! The Sunday champagne brunch was very nice too. Great ceviche and sushi station.
Outdoor Themed Dinner: Food was ok and the service was slow.
Asian restaurant: I wish I got a chance to try it for dinner but have of our party aren’t Sushi fans.
Steakhouse: The steakhouse is an up-​charge of $ 35 and wine isn’t included at the golf course. It was perfect because we wanted a nice sunset dinner on our last night. Amazing service, incredible food, and spectacular view. Well worth the extra $ 35.
Barcado Deli: We grabbed some sandwiches in to-​go containers on our way to the airport. They were great sandwiches for on the go.
Aqua Bar: Great lunch for the pool!
Pools: The pool on the right end of the resort was quiet and very relaxing. The swim up pool was a little more lively which we enjoyed a lot. There aren’t much shade out at the pool. The umbrella didn’t do much to shun the sun.
Cabanas: For an extra $ 40 a day, the cabanas are so worth it. Daniel was amazing, kept our drinks coming, ice in our bucket, and kept refiling our water.
Wifi: Wifi here is good and strong. We even had wifi as far as the cabanas.
I absolutely loved this resort and would highly recommend it to friends and families.

This place is pretty great! Third all inclusive I have stayed at in Cabo and I was extremely pleased. I am always nervous about all inclusive food but the food here is OUTSTANDING. Great rooms, the beds are nice. You can order some really outstanding room service or service pool side.
***If you are a female I highly HIGHLY recommend bringing AT LEAST hair conditioner. The pool and shower water here really destroys your hair making it a tangly dry straw mess.***

I just returned from a four day visit to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica. I had a great experience; it was a very calm and peaceful resort. We opted for the all-​inclusive plan and the food was better than I expected. Food options are some what limited but you can visit other Pueblo Bonito resorts to dine; beware each PB resort has a different vibe. We visited Sunset Beach and Rose and were so happy to return to the peacefulness of Pacifica. Consider taking a cab if you are going to a PB resort other than Sunset Beach. The shuttle gets pretty packed.
Also, there are quite a few resorts in Cabo that do not allow you to swim in the ocean. If it is important that you swim in the ocean, do not stay at PB Pacifica. You will be disappointed.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. The grounds are incredibly well kept. The rooms are pretty basic but nice. One note, the ceiling fan in our room put out quite a bit of wind but I think it was necessary to have it on to keep the air circulating. Also, the internet connection was really good on some days and not so good on others. Consider getting a Global Data Plan if you are traveling into MX from another country and need reliable internet service.

This was my very first trip to Mexico and I was rather nervous about what I would encounter. You hear all the stories, but you’re not quite sure. But this place was FANTASTIC!!! It was one of the best vacations ever and we both wish we had stayed longer. Here it is all broken down for you:
Pros:
1) the lobby smells like a spa. You’re immediately greeted with champagne as soon as you arrive and you just feel like you can exhale.
2) housekeeping is super responsive. They brought extra towels quickly, they cleaned the room as soon as we requested and cleaned it really well.
3) the entire resort is generally clean. Empty plates and glasses are picked up rather quickly. We didn’t see one roach or hear one cricket. We were nervous since it was mentioned in another review, but we didn’t see or experience one pest.
4) room service was responsive. Again, another thing we were nervous about because of other reviews, but we had no problems. They delivered in about 20 minutes. We had no issues there.
5)the room was super comfortable. The shower was huge, bed totally comfy. The balcony had the best view and you could sit out there, have a drink and hear the ocean pounding against the shore. Amazing.
6) we both had spa treatments and they were fantastic. The spa was virtually empty, it was so nice to enjoy it.
7) swim up bar was great. Those guys with their butts off and move quickly! You won’t have to wait too long.
8) two pools, both warm and fantastic. They do a great job clearing away towels for available chairs.
9) the steak house. Go. Just… go.
Cons:
1) It feels like everyone has their hand out for a tip. We went all inclusive just so we didn’t have to worry about that. I thought it was kind of obnoxious.
2) food service by the pool isn’t great. You have to flag them down a few times to get attention.
3) not enough shade by the pool and most good chairs are gone and taken by ⁹³⁰⁄₁₀ am.
4) the lady in the lobby. Good gawd. After you check in, she’s there to offer you free stuff for a 90 minute time share presentation with a free breakfast. She lies!!! We said we would think about it and she required we give her $ 20 to hold our spot, we don’t go, we get the $ 20 back. We decided not to go, but she still called us at 8:40am to remind us the bus to the presentation was almost there. Then it took THREE DAYS to get our $ 20 back. We talked to someone who did get suckered into going. It was more like 3 — 4 hours, hot and uncomfortable. It’s your vacation, do you really want to spend it like that???
5) people coming in from other resorts and taking the good pool chairs. You get the occasional ¹⁶⁄₁₇ /​18 year old, but they tend to get kicked off the property pretty quickly. There were some teenagers there with their mom and they didn’t get kicked out. I thought that was kind of annoying.
Pro Tip:
1) when you get off the airplane and go through customs, KEEP WALKING UNTIL YOU ARE OUTSIDE. There’s a bunch of guys saying you need to «register» for your transportation. Liars. They are trying to sell you something. Your ride is outside, holding up a sign sign your name. Just keep walking.
2) we booked the sunset cruise through the hotel, loved it.
3) you gotta check out Cabo
Wabo.
4) bring a pool floatie. The activities office will blow it up for you for free. It’s epic.

Fresh, creative spin on Sushi, Sashimi and rolls!
Absolutely delicious. Out of the three restaurant at the Pacifica resort and spa this is by far my favorite. Try the edamame and crab cakes for your appetizers! Mmmmmm

Continued…
Souvenirs: This place allows a few carts from local venders on site. Here are some things to know when shopping (all prices are in USD at these carts). a) everything is overpriced, but you can easily offer $ 5 off anything and they will take it. b) buying more than one item at a time will prompt a discount from the vender. c) the longer you stand there and look at stuff the lower the prices get, the vendor will start to offer you deals because they «like you». d) Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ if you want to browse other carts before you make your final decision, the deal they are trying to make you will still be there. e) Nothing is really unique, the same bowls, wooden figurines, bracelets and charms are found everywhere in Cabo, so don’t think you can’t get a certain item with the exact same design somewhere else (because you can 100X over). Also, if you’re willing to make the trip into downtown Cabo ($ 12 taxi one way). The Souvenirs are considerably cheaper.
Restaurants: Pueblo Bonita is a company that owns 4 unique hotels, many condos and a large area of land in Cabo San Lucas. When you stay at one of the four hotels you have access to all their restaurants and the benefit of the all inclusive package remain. So if you stay for a week you should be able to eat at a unique restaurant every night. There is free transportation between the hotels as well. For the restaurants you will need to make a reservation ahead of time, but generally, that just means around noon on the same day. We even made a reservation for 7pm just 2 hours prior. Most places have a dress code that basically just means don’t show up in the same beach wear you had at the pool earlier. One thing to remember is that this is not America, so the rules are not jammed down your throat. They will not turn you away for wearing sneakers/​sandals. The all inclusive covers most restaurants but a few do have a one time charge of $ 25 per guest. We found that this is not a bad deal at all. If you want to go a bit more upscale, you can have an equivalent of a $ 200 meal for two people for just $ 50. I recommend doing this just one time on the trip. When you get your bill, you write in the tip for 10−20% in pesos. The tip will be added to you room bill (also in pesos). The room bill is paid at checkout time via credit card that does the conversion from pesos to USD automatically without the conversion fee. I also recommend asking for the room bill the day before checkout to verify all purchases. The food itself varies widely from restaurant to restaurant, entre to entre, day to day. So it’s hard to recommend just a few things, but as a rule I generally go with seafood since we are so close to the ocean and the cooks there have been familiar with pescodos their whole life.
Sickness: Will you get sick? Maybe, but probably not. Just be careful to drink only the bottled water they provide you. Make sure the top of the can of beer is clean before you open. Check you steak and fillet to make sure it’s cooked all the way through before eating (unless sushi). The travel will weaken your immune system but being in the sun should boost it. I would recommend bringing a lot of advil, zinc and b12 just in case. They will have some basic meds in the general store, but about twice the price they should be. There are also pharmacies all over Cabo that offer many drugs without perscriptions, like antibiotics, penicillin and even steroids («abolics») and viagra (if you’re into that stuff lol).
Downtown Cabo: Go at least once while there, like on a cloudy day so you don’t miss out on some good pool time. You can get some great deals there if you look. We got some descent 70 minute massages for $ 19! It also has some great bars like Cabo Wabo, The Office and the Giggling Marlin. At night it can get pretty college party like, but in the day it’s pretty relaxed.
Currency: Don’t covert your money to Pesos. They take USD everywhere in Cabo and you’ll just be paying the conversion fee of up to 5%.
One last note, This hotels is on a conservatory. When you ask for your room bill the night before you leave you will see about a $ 1.25US charge per night added to your bill, this is for the conservatory and is an optional fee. You can ask for it to be removed but it is just a small fee and it goes to help the cute baby sea turtles… so don’t be heartless.

Ahhh… PBP how it miss thee! We are fresh back home from this amazing resort!
We booked via
and I did a ton of research on reviews via Trip Advisor. Lots of great reviews so we were in!
When arriving you walk into a spa like lobby and the sents of lavender relax you and immediately and you know you are now on vacation at one of the most beautiful places in the world!
At the lobby check in desk we are handed a cool towel with the aroma of lavender and a chilled glass of champagne!
Check in was easy and we were given a list of restaurants and other PB resort to be could visit while in Cabo. We were then instructed to move over to two women sitting at a desk to receive our wrist bands. While we were having the wrist bands placed here comes the time share spiel. BEWARE! This is the only thing I have negative to say here! They try to tell you this is a «tour» of the property at the sister resort Sunset with a free breakfast and $ 250.00 in spa credits. I caught on right away and put my foot down! After about 5 no’s they finally gave up and we were off to our room and began our vacation in paradise!
Our room was beautiful! Tranquil views and sounds of the ocean. I am in heaven! **note most all rooms will have some sort of an ocean view. So you don’t need to upgrade unless you want an unobstructed view of the Pacific.
The restaurant Siempre serves a breakfast buffet or al a carte menu for lunch and dinner. We ate here every morning. If you are here on Sunday the brunch is phenomenal! We also had dinner one night at Siempre and at Pescado. Both were delicious and service was on point! Always!
The pool swim up bar was a great time and drinks flowed non stop.
You can take a free shuttle to all sister resorts. I recommend going to all to try it out. At Sunset the Sky pool is a must! In town the Los Cabos is a better choice than the Rose if you want to hang out at Medano beach.
The PBP is an all adults resort all other sister resorts allow families. This resorts caters to the Zen like spa theme. The music is flutes and harps. Unless you are at the pool bar or pool area during peak hours. Then you may fist pump a bit.
We were here July 4^th weekend and I got told to pipe down at dinner when I started singing «America the beautiful». Ok ok. I had tequila! So anyhow. It’s a laid back resort.
They offer beach beds on the beach for 40 Usd. a day with full service. We just laid in one late night to hear the waves. Free! Hee hee!
I would defiantly stay here again if in Cabo. Hope we return again some day!
