Mexico is famous for its great sand-and-sea resorts, and Los Cabos (aka Cabo) is no exception.
We recently stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa here, and spoiler alert: It’s easily one of the top spots to stay in Cabo San Lucas.
Is Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach all-inclusive? Yes, but the AI plan is optional. You can choose to buy it – or not.
Is the plan worth it?
Start by reading our indepth review of the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort to get a feel for the place.
Now, if you like the convenience of eating and drinking what you want – without worrying about the tab – then PB’s all-inclusive plan is a solid choice for peace of mind.
That said, crunching the numbers might reveal it’s cheaper for you to pay as you go.
Plus, Cabo’s food scene is tempting. You might prefer the Deluxe plan for just the minimum 3 consecutive nights, leaving time to try some of Cabo’s amazing restaurants.

3 Different Pueblo Bonito plans

There are three Pueblo Bonito all-inclusive plans at the Sunset Beach resort:
- Deluxe
- Premium
- Platinum
We had the “Deluxe” package – and were quite happy with this.
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.
Many guests don’t even fuss about whether or not to buy the all-inclusive package as an add-on, because their resort reservation (for example, on Booking.com) just bundles everything into one all-inclusive rate.
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 normally only available for a 7-night minimum. But this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. We’ve heard from one reader who managed to get the Premium plan for 3 nights. (He and his wife are seniors.)
Pueblo Bonito all-inclusive package cost

We can’t give you a definitive answer to the question: How much does an all-inclusive Pueblo Bonito plan cost as an add-on?
The fact is that package rates differ
Rates depend on many factors, including:
- Whether you buy the all-inclusive plan on location at the resort or before your trip (you can usually get it for less if you buy it in advance)
- Whether you get the package at a discount
- Whether you’re buying an all-inclusive plan for a large group
Discounts are commonly given to owners, and there are “specials” all the time.
Seniors are given preferred rates too.
Note: The resort can, of course, change the rates and terms at any time :-).
Cost: Deluxe plan
We’ve seen rates for the add-on Pueblo Bonito Deluxe all-inclusive plan range from a low of $65 USD to a high of $225+ USD per adult a day (quoted to us by the resort as the new rate).
The “average” rate for the Deluxe plan that people seem to be paying ranges from somewhere between $120 to $175 USD per adult a day.
Cost: Premium and Platinum plans

The Premium and Platinum plans cost a little more than the Deluxe plan.
One reader recently wrote to let us know that, as seniors, he and his wife got a quote of $119 USD a day p.p. for the Premium plan.
For the most-up-to-date rates (or to find out what discounts are available), you’re best advised to call the Pueblo Bonito reservations center. (Contact information is provided at the end of this post.) Also see the comments from owners and guests at the end of this post about their experiences and what they paid.
Pro tip: You may be able to negotiate a discount – so ask when inquiring about the all-inclusive rates!
How the 3 plans differ
We’ve mentioned how the Deluxe, Premium and Platinum 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

The number and type of alcohol brands included in the 3 plans is different.
The Premium and Platinum plans include some additional, more expensive brands of rum, tequila, whiskey and so on. (See the specific brands for each plan further down below.)

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.

You can choose from sushi, Italian, Mexican and other options. You certainly won’t get bored with the food when you stay here!
Note: Some of the top restaurants at the different Pueblo Bonito resorts have an extra charge (covered in the section below under “PB surcharge restaurants”).

Pueblo Bonito surcharge restaurants
Unless you have the Premium or Platinum plan, the following restaurants each have a surcharge:
- LaFrida (PB Sunset Beach): Gourmet Mexican – 700 MXN (about $35) surcharge p.p.
- Quivira Steakhouse (PB Sunset Beach): Steak and seafood – 900 MXN (about $44) surcharge p.p.
- Fellini’s Ristorante (PB Rose): Italian – 400 MXN (about $20) surcharge p.p.
- Room service: $5 USD additional service charge
Pro tip: If you can pick only one of these surcharge restaurants, make it LaFrida. This very elegant dining spot turns out truly sublime Mexican-inspired dishes.
Plan details

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.

No plan?
You could cook and eat in
Suites at the PB Sunset Beach have kitchenettes.
Each has a fridge, cooktop with two burners, microwave, coffee maker and toaster.
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.
Eat out at other restos
Cabo also has some great restaurants, and it would be a shame not to try at least one of them.
Where else to eat in Cabo?

- Farm-to-table dining: You must experience Flora Farms near San Jose del Cabo (it dishes up yummy farm-to-table eats!)
- Tacos: Bite into the most mouth-watering tacos at these tasty taquerias
Pay as you go
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 – you have to take a buggy to the lobby and then an Uber or taxi to a restaurant in town or along the Cabo San Lucas Marina.
It’s soooo much easier just to stay at the resort and eat in.
Also, if you do the math, paying as you go might save you some money.
Let’s run a quick calculation, based on the restaurant menus above.
Say you stick to a light breakfast, dinner and three alcoholic drinks a day at the resort (supplementing with your own snacks and drinks in your room).
- Breakfast: Eggs and bacon with coffee at The Bistro costs around 400 pesos ($20 USD) per person.
- Dinner: An appetizer, main and dessert at Tazuna and The Bistro averages 800 pesos ($40 USD) p.p.
- Alcoholic drinks: This is the wildcard, but plan on paying about $12 to $25 USD a drink, depending on whether it’s a beer, margarita or glass or wine.
Your daily pay-as-you-go total should top out at roughly $135 p.p.
Tip: Depending on the actual daily plan rate p.p. quoted for your stay, you may find it cheaper to eat (and drink) at the resort, without buying the plan.
Should you get the plan, or not?

So, how do you decide if you should get the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa all-inclusive plan?
Have a look at the AI rate quote for your stay and compare that to the menu prices to see what makes sense for your stay.
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!
