Pueblo Bonito Resort

WE stayed at Pueblo Bonito in August of 09 and was it ever fun!!!!! The staff is the best of any hotel I have ever stayed at! The rooms are very comfortable and this is more family friendly than its sister at Emerald Bay. If you want all the frills then Emerald Bay is the place. This is just a very comfortable friendly resort. I am now an owner and cant wait to go back!

We stayed at Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan from Dec. 15 to 27 incl. My wife and I stayed in a junior suite and my daughter and her husband and children were in a luxury suite. We arrived from Canada on a direct flight via Westjet. We arrived in Mazatlan at 5:45 - just after the sun had set and quickly and effortlessly made our way through customs. Our Pueblo Bonito travel van was waiting for us and first dropped off 4 people at Emerald Bay and then us at P. B. Mazatlan. Our check in was fast and efficient. It is the staff at this resort that makes our stay so pleasant and memorable. Our luggage was delivered to our rooms and after unpacking and getting our bearings we had a very nice evening meal at Celantros. Each unit at P. B. has an ocean view. Our junior suite sleeps 4 but is very comfortable for 2. The kitchen facilities allows you to eat some or all your meals in the unit. The luxury suite has a separate bedroom and sleeps 6. The units are very clean and comfortable and very quiet – you don’t hear the people next to you. Although air conditioning is available in each unit - we slept with the patio door open and the screen door closed so we could hear the ocean. Each unit is no more then about a 60 seconds walk to the beach. The two large swimming pools are warm and very clean. There seems to be plenty of palapas both around the pools and on the sand facing the ocean. Morning meals at Los Palmos were always a delight. The waiters are friendly and are very attentive. The few times we had room service was also enjoyable. There is an abundant of daily activities for both young and old – everything from crafts, Spanish lessons, pool and beach activities and games. We enjoyed the sand castle competition where families compete to build the best sand castle. The only day when there aren’t many activities is on Mondays – their check-in and check-out day. For those wanting a refreshing drink or food by the pools there are waiters always available and ready to grant you your wishes. The resort is located north of the Golden Zone in Mazatlan and many buses, taxis, or pulmoneas are available to take you to any area of Mazatlan you want to go. The concierge staff is always willing to assist you. There is a bus that travels back and forth to Emerald Bay every hour which is free for the guests of Pueblo Bonito. We have always felt very safe in the resort. Occasionally we have ventured to other areas close by in the evening and again have felt secure. The internet café has 5 computers available for those who need either a specialty coffee or to use the internet. The maid service is exceptional. Each room is cleaned every day and the floors washed. A maid comes in the evening to turn down your bed. There is a secure safe in each room. The kitchen in each room is small but adequate for some meals. There is a fridge and microwave in each room. The beach is very nice – many people get their daily exercise walking the 1500 feet on beautiful sand. Often the waves are great for boogie boarding. The ocean is nice and warm – even in December. The sun sets are spectacular. Each time we visit we want to stay longer. Although the resort is great it is the staff that really makes this place special. Allan M

First Time at Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan was in March. Within a week of arriving home, we had made reservations to return for a week at Christmas. We had a Junior Suite and it had more than enough room for the 2 of us. 4 people could easily occupy the room. Rooms are lovely, spacious and have very nice views of the pool areas and ocean. The 2 pools are wonderful and the ocean and beach are great for swimming, taking walks and collecting shells. The restaurants and the food was all very good and we felt priced fairly. The staff is excellent and always making your stay pleasant. I believe it is a excellant Resort for all ages. I highly recommend for a great and relaxing vacation.

Pueblo Bonito never fails to please. With beautiful grounds, pools and rooms it serves up a great taste of Mexico. Restaurant was good and when you are tired go enjoy the hot tub!

Out of the "golden zone" area, it is quieter than some of the other resorts. It was great!

I've never seen a cleaner, friendlier resort in Mexico ANYWHERE, and I've been EVERYWHERE!!! A nice mixture of Old Mexico, and yet, still, SO CLOSE to everything....restaurants, shopping, BEACH on site, Sport Fishing, etc. Has everything to offer that Cabo does, BUT for far less money, and FAR LESS crowds. Have been to this resort for the past 3 years in a row. Children LOVE IT!!! Immaculately clean, and the staff is bent on pleasing!!! What a gem!!!
