We stayed here in June and found the resort to be very well maintained and the staff exceptional. It is right on Medino Beach with an oceanfront restaurent that is fantastic. The pool is a lazy river with beautiful tropical foliage. A fantastic place to stay for adults and children.

We stayed here in June 2008. Had a wonderful time. Best resort I've ever stayed in. Every room has a balcony which overlooks the ocean and swimming pool. The staff were courteous. Food in Cabo is VERY expensive we went to the Rose next door and had a small mexican buffet, ok quality and it was $150 for four!! So we got a taxi to Walmart and cooked in our room some nights. Overall though beautiful hotel will definitely stay again.

Stayed week 17 in a 1 bdrm suite. Found the service to be exceptional and the resort well maintained. Food at the restaurants was wonderful. Location is fantastic .... great beach and easy walking distance to town. Would have no qualms about recommending this resort to others and if the circumstances permit, will definitely return myself.

I own here, prefer it over any other PB in Cabo. One big problem, very difficult to get in unless you reserve a year in advance. It is worth the wait!

Nov 2007-Still love the place but almost impossible to get except for summer. Would appreciate more availability, cannot even exchange in for late fall and winter!!

Jan 2008- Ever happier with this location after horrendous two week experience at PB Emerald Bay. Expected Luxurious, received mediocre, ended up taking shuttle to PB Mazatlan for a wonderful last 4 days.

My family and I stayed here in the 3bdrm penthouse July '06 and we absolutely loved it. The service was incredible and the opportunities for excursions was wonderful. The Pueblo Bonito resort was walking distance to the Rose resort making activities easy to find. Also, my son split his foot open and the hotel arranged for the dr. to come to us, he took us to the hospital in his private car and we were in and out. We loved it so much at this resort that we bought at the PB Sunset! The only thing that needed a little TLC was the interior of the room but it was still very comfortable jsut slightly outdated.

We prefer the Pueblo Bonito Blanco over all of the hotels on the beach because of its size, location, clientele and overall beautiful facilities. The hotel is the perfect size, it only takes a few minutes to go back your room if you forgot something and just about every room has a great view. The hotel is close to town (10 minute walk) and the action of the beach and attracts an older crowd and families.

We just returned from a 6 day stay in a jr. suite. The jr. suite set up is nice in that you can sleep and wake up to the view of the water, instead of a bedroom in the back. The luxury suite has more of a kitchen and dining table but we tend to eat out most meals so the jr. suite works better for us. We were in room 220 just above the flamingos, near the center and even though it wasn’t the most desirable location, it still had a fantastic view of the water and arches. We got a super deal here on redweek - we paid less than 2 nights stay for a whole week, no taxes.

There are newer and fancier hotels on the beach but the Pueblo Bonito Blanco is our choice for the reasons mentioned above. It is the perfect place to relax by day and return to after enjoying the Cabo nightlife. It is not a fancy 5 star resort but I rate it 5 stars because it meets and exceeds our needs for a perfect Cabo vacation.

Pueblo Blanco should be rated about six stars, my wife and I have been going to Cabo for about 15 yrs and Blanco is #1 in our rating. I sold at a loss a 2 bedroom presidential suite at The Hacienda Del Mar just to buy another luxury suite at Blanco. Super nice staff. S Stephens

the place is top notch..everything close by. right on the ocean with a great view. loved it and would recommend it especially since you can go next door to the Rose and use their facilities and can also hop on the bus and go to Sunset Beach resort which is georgous and secluded on the Pacific side for more tranquility.

This place was awesome! My wife and I just spent the first week in March 2006 here, and we did not know what to expect (we rented a timeshare -- a junior suite with a kitchenette).

Well, the place is spotless, the room overlooked the ocean and Land's End (we made breakfast each morning and ate on our balcony), the staff and the food was superb, and the water is purified throughout.

We liked that the Blanco and the Rose next door share everything, so that increased our dining and relaxing options. Hints:

** The beach chairs at the Rose have both padding and armrests, so we opted for those. Sit in the middle row to avoid the beach sellers in front, and the hot wall behind. Ask the staff to set up an umbrella, even if you are sitting under a canopy, to avoid sunburn.

** Ask for rooms 504-512 or 404-412 about 3 days ahead of time, and again when you check in -- these will give you the best ocean views and breezes.

** The gym at the Rose is way better than the tiny one at the Blanco, and we got in free since we were guests of a timeshare owner.

** While the spa at the Rose is gorgeous, the services were not good -- the staff seemed poorly trained.

** For lunch, eat at the Rose, which has a better menu than the Blanco.

** We dragged a mattress from the bedroom to the living room couch and slept on that all week. That allowed us to enjoy the cooling ocean breeze and the sound of the waves every night.

** There were no BS charges! No extra gratuities or other crap was tacked on to our bill.

** Hit the supermarket in town as soon as you can and stock up on breakfast and lunch foods. You can easily get a taxi back to the hotel.

** You can refill your empty water bottles at either gym, instead of paying for Fiji or other designer water at the pool.

The only disappointment was the cost of food throughout Cabo (not cheap!). However, we really enjoyed our dinners at La Dolce italian restaurant near the harbor -- good quality, reasonable pricing.

Hope this helps!

We stayed at this resort and we LOVED it. It was close to town, the beach was fun and always busy. The staff is exceptional. They upgraded our room for free. We did the timeshare presentation at Sunset and it was GREAT . We purchased a timeshare at Sunset and cannot wait to go. Our timeshare presenter was NOT a bit deceiving very upfront and honest. They are both wonderful vacations...

we loved this hotel...though because of our terrible and deceptive time share presentation experience with the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, (see Sunset Beach review) the Pueblo Bonito's name is quite negatively tainted for us.

Service was wonderful. Rooms a bit small. Great for families. Close to anything but far enough way if you desire.

We love this place. We've owned here since 1992 and returned 8 times. It's clean and the staff is very good at attending to all your needs. It's within walking distance of town and we get a car for a couple days to go exploring and then you can return it to airport. It's cheapest to book the rental car and all activities at the resort. The restaurants are great but a little pricey on the theme nights. Go and have a great time.

Just returned from 3 week stay. Had a great time! Just bought a one bedroom one week there over the internet, much cheaper than from the resort. Agree with previous posting about noise from upstairs. Poor insulation, you can hear chairs scraping, coins being dropped, etc. But a great resort nonetheless!

Very lovely resort as are all the Pueblo Bonito properties. On the beach in Cabos San Lucas. Excellent accomodations, ocean view every room, excellent service. Walk to town. Negatives: No hot tub but you can use the one at the Rose sister resort next door. The room was noisy from family upstairs scrapping furniture along floor early in morning.

This resort is AWESOME!

All units overlook a beautiful tropic style pool. Wake up to lovely piano music floating from Las Palmas restaurant.

Just steps from your room is a beautiful pristine beach - A swimming Beach!!!!

Staff is wonderfully helpful and very friendly.

Great place for families. Activity director keeps the young ones entertained with numerous activities like face painting, treasure hunts, and fun games such as water volleyball, darts, and more!

Downtown is an easy walk away with numerous eating places which serve great food at great prices - El Coral and The Stoplight to name two.

You couldn't own, or rent, at a better place! It's paradise!

The resort is very fine. You will not be disappointed. We had a different experience than the reviewer who thought the resort's restaurants were overpriced. We found the Mare Nostrum at the Pueblo Bonito Rose, next door, to be reasonable and delightful, with fine service. Taco stands in town are cheaper, but the decent restaurants are not. Stay away from an eatery called the Trailerpark.

It is hard to imagine a better resort. There are great activities for kids, it is right on the beach (El Medano, the "swimming beach"), and you can walk to town or to the movie theater (they subtitle movies in Mexico, so you can watch whatever new American feature you like).

It is smaller and cozier than the Pueblo Bonito Rose (next door), but they are practically connected.

The food in the resort's restaurants is supernaturally overpriced- best to eat in town. For the budget conscious, take a taxi to a local supermarket, and stock up on queso panela and nice other local food.

The best location, superbly maintained, and very nice suites.

This is one of the more impressive resorts in Mexico, if you can manage to trade into it.

I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Rose resort. However I think the resort you have pictured is the Pueblo Bonito Blanco resort which is right next door. The Rose was fabulous, beautiful and has an awesome view of Arch Rock. The Blanco looks just as nice from the outside although I have not been inside.
