Disclosure: We were offered a discount from Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos to come stay on property and share about our experience. All opinions are our own.
We recently visited Cabo San Lucas as a family and leading up to our trip researched A LOT of hotels in the area. We wanted an all-inclusive hotel, because our kids hadn’t really stayed at one before, and we wanted to be on Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas in an area that was safer to swim. We also wanted to find a hotel that was an easy walk into Cabo San Lucas so we could explore a bit at night. In our research, we found a lot of great reviews about Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos so we reached out to them to see if they would give us a discount during our trip. They were excited to collaborate with us and gave us a media rate (usually 20% off) for our stay in exchange for some photos and some Instagram content. Because we loved our visit so much, we decided we should share a little bit more about the hotel here on the blog so that anyone looking for a Cabo hotel recommendations could find it.
Our rooms. We booked a family-friendly room (the Cabo San Lucas suites) and our suite had two rooms. The best part about the room was our view of the ocean! The first room had two double beds and a bathroom. The second room had a table and sitting area (the couch had a sofa bed) with a TV and another bathroom. Both rooms had porches that overlooked the ocean. The room was the perfect size for our family of 6. We especially always like having two bathrooms.
The food. One of the highlights for the girls was that the hotel was all-inclusive. That meant a lot of endless plates of nachos and drinks and late night room service. We ate all of our meals at LaFrida Restaurant (Breakfast) and Mare Nostrum (Dinner at the Rose hotel next door) and then we usually ate by the pool at at the poolside restaurant (Cilantros). As part of staying at Pueblo Bonito hotels you can go to the other PB brand hotel next door and eat at their restaurants too. Sometimes I’ve been disappointed by all-inclusive food, but at Pueblo Bonito the variety for kids and adults was great. The had a whole area that just was kid-friendly options like mac&cheese, fries, pizza, etc. We were even traveling with friends who had a child with a medical condition/strict diet and they were able to help prepare his food and made accommodations for him.
The activities. We pretty much played in the ocean, ordered nachos and fancy drinks, and relaxed in the pool. We loved the low-key vibe at the hotel and you could also use the pools and amenities at the PB hotel next door. The kids joined in for some staff run activities when they got bored. We didn’t use the kid’s club because we were traveling with friends, but it looked fun! The hotel also helped us arrange a boat ride out to El Archo de Cabo San Lucas. We took a tour of the arc and then relaxed on the beach there for a bit until it was time to head back. (If you do this activity bring some money for tips and snacks). The kids also went parasailing one day and jet- skiing. You can find people to arrange activities for you right along the beach or use the hotel concierge.
The spa and fitness center. The staff a Pueblo Bonito offered me a free massage and we took them up on it! I loved having a “mom break” during a family trip. The spa was very quiet and cool and relaxing. I used the fitness center every morning and the hotel and it was VERY small and limited in equipment. I was glad they had one, but would’ve loved it to be a bit bigger and updated.
Location. We loved that the hotel was close to the main pedestrian area of Cabo San Lucas. We could go to Walmart or shop for souvenirs easily. We walked — but you could’ve also taken a taxi. We especially liked going to find local churros and paletas. The beach was calm where we were and there was a roped off area the kids could swim. We were also close to a lot of activities we wanted to do.
Would we stay again? The family’s resounding answer is YES.
