Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach All-Inclusive Cost: What to Know

Mexico is known for its great sun-and-sand resorts, and Los Cabos (aka Cabo) is no exception.

We recently stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa there. It’s one of the best hotels in Cabo San Lucas.

Is Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach all inclusive? Yes, but it’s an option.

You can choose to buy an all-inclusive plan – or not.

Is the plan worth it? Read on to find out!

3 Different Pueblo Bonito plans

There are three Pueblo Bonito all-inclusive plans at the Sunset Beach resort:

1) Deluxe
2) Premium
3) Platinum

We had the “Deluxe” package – and we were quite happy with this.

There are three Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa all-inclusive packages

Who can buy the plans?

Any guest can buy the Deluxe plan.

But you have to be an “owner” to buy the Premium or Platinum plans.

As is common in Los Cabos, the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, Rose and Blanco resorts are time-share resorts. (See our post on the best Pueblo Bonito resort in Cabo.)

You may buy the use of a vacation week at these PB resorts, and then you become a time-share “owner.”

All the unused time is rented out to non-owner guests.

As a non-owner guest, your stay is similar to staying at a regular hotel, except that you have the choice of going all-inclusive by buying the additional Deluxe all-inclusive plan.

Minimum purchase per plan:

Deluxe: You only have to buy the Deluxe plan for a minimum of 3 consecutive nights.

Premium and Platinum: The Premium and Platinum plans are only available for a 7-night minimum.

Pueblo Bonito all-inclusive rates per plan

The daily USD rates set out below are the p.p. rates quoted to us by the resort, as of January 31, 2022. (The 2021 rates were about $10 per person less.)

However, we understand that if you purchase the plan in advance, before you arrive at the resort, the cost may be less. That was the case when we stayed at the resort.

For example, the advance rates in January, 2020 were less than half the 2022 rates set out below.

The advance cost per adult for the Deluxe plan was $96.16 (not the current quoted rate of $227 per adult, shown below).

For the Premium Plan, the advance cost was $110.12 per adult, and for the Platinum plan, it was $153.03 per adult.

1) Cost – Pueblo Bonito Deluxe all-inclusive plan:

$227 – Adult
$208 – Senior (60+)
$208 – Junior (12 to 17)
$134 – Child (5 to 11)

2) Cost – Pueblo Bonito Premium all-inclusive plan:

$256 – Adult
$238 – Senior (60+)
$219 – Junior (12 to 17)
$150 – Child (5 to 11)

3) Cost – Pueblo Bonito Platinum all-inclusive plan:

$348 – Adult
$321 – Senior (60+)
$219 – Junior (12 to 17)
$150 – Child (5 to 11)

How the 3 plans differ

We’ve mentioned how the 3 plans differ in terms of cost, 3-day vs. 7-day minimum purchase and eligibility (guest vs. owner).

What are the other differences?

Alcohol in the 3 plans:

Deluxe plan wine:

As well as the above alcohol, the Deluxe plan includes a selection of four wines – two reds (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) and two whites (Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) from Spain. Personally, we liked the Cab Sauv the best.

We’re mainly wine drinkers and don’t usually have cocktails before dinner.

So if anything, we wish the Deluxe plan had a greater wine selection, with some higher quality wines.

Pueblo Bonito restaurants with a p.p. surcharge

Stay at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, and you get signing privileges to a whopping 23 Pueblo Bonito restaurants in Cabo – at sister resorts Pueblo Bonito Rose and Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos, as well as at the Quivira Golf Club (which is not a public course).

You can choose from sushi, Italian, Mexican and other options.

You certainly won’t get bored with the food when you stay here!

See all the PB Sunset Beach dining choices.

LaFrida is one of the restaurants with a surcharge under the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach all-inclusive Deluxe plan.

Some of the top restaurants have an extra charge.

LaFrida (at Sunset Beach) – $30 USD

Quivira Steakhouse (at the Quivira Golf Club) – $35 USD

Fellini’s (at Rose) – $20 USD

Room service – $5 USD additional service charge

If you pick only one of these surcharge restaurants, make it LaFrida.

This very elegant dining spot turns out truly sublime Mexican-inspired dishes.

Bar and restaurant menus

Here are 2022 menus for some of the bars and restaurants at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach:

LaFrida: LaFrida menu (Mexican)

Quivira Steakhouse: Quivira dinner menu (Steak and seafood)

Zao Shen: Zao Shen menu (Asian fusion)

However, you may see some sample menus below (in effect in 2020) that show prices in Mexican pesos.

Add a bit more, and the following should give you a rough idea of what meals cost in the various restaurants today, if you were to order à la carte and didn’t have an all-inclusive plan.

LaFrida: LaFrida menu (Mexican)

Zao Shen: Zao Shen menu (Asian fusion)

The Bistro: Breakfast menu

Details: All-inclusive Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

The Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach is a popular resort in Cabo San Lucas.

All guests in a suite must buy the same plan. (You can’t be on the plan but have your husband, for example, decide not to be on it.)

The plan begins at noon on the day you check in and ends at noon on the day you check out.

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort and Spa All-inclusive

No plan?

Suites at the PB Sunset Beach have kitchenettes.

Each has a fridge, cooktop with two burners, microwave, coffee maker and toaster.

There are several Pueblo Bonito all-inclusive plans. What's the right one for you?

So you don’t have to buy an all-inclusive plan.

You can stock up on groceries and make breakfast and some lighter meals if you like being self-sufficient. Plus, Cabo has some great restaurants, and it would be a shame not to try at least one of them.

Where else to eat in Cabo?

Love Italian food? | Check out the best Italian restaurants in Cabo San Lucas

Farm-to-table dining | You must experience Flora Farms near San Jose del Cabo (it dishes up yummy farm-to-table eats!)

Then again…

Maybe you don’t want to take a taxi to Costco or Walmart and schlep groceries, alcohol and bottled water back. Maybe you don’t want to cook.

And it does take some effort to leave the resort to eat out – a buggy to the lobby and a taxi to a restaurant in town or on the Cabo San Lucas Marina.

It’s soooo much easier just to stay at the resort and eat in.

Bottom line: Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa all-inclusive

So, how do you decide whether to get the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach package or not?

One idea: Consider getting the Deluxe plan just for the first 3 or 4 nights of your stay.

This way, you can try some of Cabo’s excellent restaurants during the rest of your stay!

Can you purchase the all-inclusive plan later after you have booked your room? For example, when we check-in?

Are there any extra costs for food on the Deluxe plan other than the surcharge for those listed restaurants? For example: Do food options that are grilled by the pool cost extra?

Wednesday 5th of October 2022

We don't believe there are extra costs. But if someone else has a definitive answer, please chime in!

Aga

Monday 18th of April 2022

Hi! We booked for a trip in September via Booking.com with the All Inclusive. Any ideas which plan that may include? Going through the resort was slightly cheaper but it was non refundable, so we stuck with Booking.com as they have a much better cancellation policy.

Thursday 21st of April 2022

Hi Aga, These days, it's a good idea to have refundable options :-). The plan will most likely be the Deluxe plan. Only owners can get the other two plans. The Deluxe plan is a good one, though! Apart from wishing we could up the wine quality, we were happy with it :-). Have a good trip!

Is golf free to play with the platinum plan?

Kai

Friday 30th of September 2022

@Janice and George,

So why would golf show up in the included items? That makes no sense. I can understand if it means you get "discounted" golf but it shouldn't show up as part of the all-inclusive plan if you have to pay full price (as you would if it wasn't all-inclusive).

Wouldn't that be nice! No, you still have to pay for the golf...
