We first visited Sunset Beach in 2003. There were a lot of hotels at that time, today there are over 130 resort hotels in Cabo, with four Pueblo Bonito brands. When it comes to a family resort, Sunset Beach is in the Top 1%. It may not be #1 in ALL of Cabo; but you'll come away feeling not far off.
Montecristo Estates Luxury Villas (could be # 1 in All of Cabo) and PB Sunset Beach share the same mountain; along with the Pacifica resort (Adults Only) these share the same entrance.
When you arrive, the views are breathtaking. Montecristo Estates has the top half of the mountain while Sunset Beach has the lower half. But checking-in at sunset Beach, these views are now up close and personal. Especially for Whale Watching from your balcony or watching from the beach. Yes, at the other hotels you can do the same thing - but you're closer!
You never want to leave the property - everything you need is there. Restaurants, Mini Markets, Pools, Golf, Play Room for the kids. But visit the 3 sister hotels with the free bus service provided., Pacifica is nearby and Rose & Los Cabos are in town.
From the Rose, it is a 10-13 minute walk into town - shops - dining -entertainment - and the Cabo nightlife.
Spending Christmas and/or New Years at Sunset Beach / Cabo with the family has provided us a life long memory which brings a smile, a chuckle and a good feeling inside.
The same will happen to everyone who joins your vacation.
P.S. Between the Pacifica & very close to Sunset Beach, sits a large home. It belongs to the owner of Pueblo Bonito Resorts (one of many I'm sure) built in 2003. I was able to view this while under construction, and was very impressed. Now if I somehow could get invited to see what the completed home looks like.
I mention this because if he could build anywhere and chose to build here, well...
