History and curious facts
The story of Pueblo Bonito Rosé Resort & Spa
Pueblo Bonito is a family-owned Mexican hotel company that began with a single hotel in Mazatlán in 1987. Its first Los Cabos resort opened on Médano Beach in 1991, with suites and restaurants turned toward the rock formations at Land's End. Six years later, in 1997, Pueblo Bonito Rosé opened next door with a soft-red façade, and the original hotel picked up the nickname "Blanco" for its white exterior.
The Rosé leans into a Greco-Roman look: rose-tinted walls, marble busts and a large statue of Neptune. The company kept growing after it, with Sunset Beach in 2002 and the adults-only Pacifica in 2005, both in Cabo San Lucas. The Rosé and the Blanco are the two Pueblo Bonito resorts on El Médano, in the busiest part of town.

Your yacht day
A day on a yacht from Pueblo Bonito Rosé Resort & Spa
From the Rosé you look straight at Land's End, and a yacht gets you there in a few minutes. Our driver collects you at the resort and reaches the Marina in about 4 minutes without traffic, then drops you near your yacht's dock. The Rosé welcomes guests of all ages, so a family outing with a snorkel stop in a calm cove fits well, and groups celebrating a birthday or a bachelorette party can book a longer charter along the coast. From December to April, whale-watching trips go out past the Arch. You can also wave at your own hotel from the water as the boat crosses El Médano on the way back.
