Pueblo Bonito Fractional Ownership: Resorts, Locations, and Common Complaints
In this section, you will find valuable information about Pueblo Bonito’s fractional ownership business. If you are thinking about buying a timeshare at Pueblo Bonito resorts, or if you have already closed a deal, there is content on important review sites where people share their opinions about their timeshare-buying experiences at various resorts, including Pueblo Bonito membership reviews on those same sites.
Pueblo Bonito Resort Portfolio
Pueblo Bonito is a Mexican hospitality group founded in 1994, with its first resort opening in 1987. Its holding company, Blazki, operates brands such as Pueblo Bonito, Emerald Bay, Sunset Beach, Montecristo, Novaispania, Copala, and Coronado.
Today, Pueblo Bonito operates nine luxury resorts in Los Cabos and Mazatlán, plus two Pueblo Bonito Vantage properties in San Miguel de Allende and Mazatlán’s Centro Histórico.
Los Cabos: Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort, The Towers at Pacifica, Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Golf & Spa Resort, Montecristo Estates Luxury Villas, Pueblo Bonito Rosé Resort & Spa, and Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos Beach Resort.
Mazatlán: Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, Pueblo Bonito Emerald Estates Luxury Villas, and Pueblo Bonito Mazatlán Beach Resort.
Pueblo Bonito Vantage: Pueblo Bonito Vantage San Miguel de Allende, a 111-room property in the Distrito Corazón area, and Pueblo Bonito Vantage Centro Histórico Mazatlán, a 24-room retreat inside a restored 19th-century building.
Quivira Los Cabos and Copala
Quivira Los Cabos is an 1,850-acre master-planned residential and resort community in Cabo San Lucas, developed by Pueblo Bonito founder Ernesto Coppel. It contains several residential communities, including Montecristo Estates, Copala Residences, Coronado Residences, Alvar, and Old Lighthouse Club, as well as the Jack Nicklaus-designed Quivira Golf Club.
Copala is a gated, full-ownership community within Quivira. It features colonial hacienda-style condominiums and townhomes, along with access to the Copala Club House and other Quivira amenities. Copala owners also receive discounts at Pueblo Bonito resorts, including reduced rates on dining, spa treatments, and golf.
This distinction matters because Pueblo Bonito operates both full-ownership real estate and fractional/timeshare products. Buyers should understand which type of ownership they are being offered.
Fractional Ownership and Timeshare Details
Montecristo Estates, Emerald Estates, and Novaispania Residences offer fractional ownership options. Novaispania Residences is described as the most luxurious fractional opportunity, featuring a 10-acre residential community with 28 home sites and 1,200 Pueblo Bonito Universal Points each year.
Access to other Pueblo Bonito resorts depends on your ownership level, so owners should refer to their ownership information to confirm eligibility.
Common Complaints and Reviews
Despite the company’s prestigious portfolio, when it comes to Pueblo Bonito fractional ownership (Pueblo Bonito Travel Club), selling it is not as good as the company claims its treatment of guests is, as seen in recent Pueblo Bonito timeshare reviews and common complaints.
Common complaints include:
- A salesperson has the client sign a waiver giving up their five-day right to cancel, claiming it is a special one-day-only offer. This is illegal in Mexico.
- A salesperson promises to sell the client’s old timeshare to offset the cost of the new timeshare. In the end, the client is referred to a resale company that does not sell the old timeshare, and the client is stuck with two timeshares and the maintenance fees for both properties.
- Complaints about Concord Pueblo Bonito and Pueblo Bonito Travel Club.
Reviews also mention Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica, and Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, including problems with membership updates that clients say do not benefit them.
Online Pueblo Bonito Travel Club reviews and the complaints above show that the scam problem is growing. Much of this happens in Mexico, where salespeople exploit foreigners’ and tourists’ limited knowledge of local law while they are on vacation. Similar issues are reported at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, including poor management and unpleasant staff after guests reject timeshare invitations.
If you are considering fractional ownership, work with legitimate companies and stay alert. Check the seller’s background online, and be suspicious of anyone asking for an upfront fee; trustworthy deals are handled like real estate transactions.
Pueblo Bonito should be the worst option to stay ever, we actually have a timeshare membership with them and is a total chaos, the maintenance fees are so high and the quality of the rooms and the hotel in general its not good.
BUEN DIA. QUISIERA UNA OPINION DE QUE HACER CON UN TIEMPO COMPARTIDO EN PUEBLO BONITO. PUES DESDE QUE LO CONTRATAMOS EN EL 2009 NO HEMOS PODIDO VACACIONAR NI UNA VEZ Y SE NOS HA DICHO QUE LA MEMBRESIA ESTA CANCELADA. YA NO QUEREMOS EL SERVICIO NI SEGUIR PAGANDO CUOTAS DE MANTENIMIENTO. QUEREMOS SABER SI HAY FORMA DE CANCELAR Y RECUPERAR ALGO DE LA "INVERSION" HECHA O DE PLANO ES COSA PÉRDIDA. QUE PODEMOS HACER? AYUDA POR FAVOR
LES PIDO DE FAVOR QUE NOS AYUDEN Y ORIENTEN EN QUE PODEMOS HACER
estamos pasando una experiencia de lo mas desagradable con estas personas, compramos mi esposo y yo una membresia y no hemos podido usarla debido a que no tienen disponibilidad, nos hemos quejado hasta el cansancio puesto que ya llevamos 6 meses asi, necesitamos que alguien nos asesore.
Don´t buy a timeshare at PB. They lie in order to sale and then they make their clients believe that will help you to get rid of that fraud but keeping your money...they don´t respect what the Mexican Laws say and they threat you if you request the cxl, they extort you to pay 1000 USD, but if you fight them they drop to 500, continue fighting then they drop to 0 but just to make you think they will help you...these three women are the ones that extort people

They even sent me a cancellation format and passing the days they said that our cxl was denied!!
Me trataron igual que a todos, mucha presión y muchas promesas hasta que firmé, es necesario que todos vayamos ante la profeco, para que investiguen y sancionen a estos rateros, Actuan de forma totalmente fraudulenta deberían prohibirles continuar con su negocio

Really bad experience trying to reserve a week with them, how can we all get together and put a stop to all this? I am puting a complain with profeco and see if they can do anything, please don't buy with them, advise anybody going to this resort to not even go to the presentation.
The main problem with Pueblo Bonito is their fictional timeshare memberships " that they sell with any benefits, really me and my husband actually are fighting against them for the cancellation, we cannot still paying for this, help please.
I purchased a floating bi-annual week for a 2 bd/2bath in 2009. I specifically designated the week to be deposited to RCI for trading power, and this was done with my 2010 week. We used the week in 2010 with no problem through RCI. In 2012, a friend wanted to take his wife on a nice vacation, so an attempt was made to book the week. PBSB advised the week had to be deposited and then used through RCI to book under a different name. So, I paid the fees and did so...but apparently PB never deposited the week and the reservation was made via points I already had in my account from my timeshare in Montana. Silly me, holding that they would do as I asked when I purchased, I've gone forward with both points and weeks exchanges with RCI and never really noticing the deficit. Every other year, the holding company has had NO PROBLEM finding me to pay the nearly $800 maintenance fee, but couldn't seem to be bothered to send me anything else...like "hey, you've paid for 3 years and not made a reservation thru us". Funny...not so funny...I've actually been back twice (with another week planned in May) but apparently NOT USING MY WEEK. I called to discuss this with the company. Apparently a supervisor is ONLY available via email. The lady who I spoke with kept repeating off the same sheet of paper "you have to call us every year to deposit your week. If you don't use your week or call and deposit your week, it just goes away". Hmmmm...my $800 bill doesn't seem to go away. Operadora de Inmuebles Los Arcos S.A. de C.V.; Terra pacifica S.A. de C.V. (Pueblo Bonito) takes care of itself...but can't be bothered to take care of their owners. I pay every other year and then don't show up for 7 years...and not one call, letter or email...like "can we help you make a reservation" or "just a reminder of our process/policy"? I've reviewed my contract...not a word. I was advised there is an "addendum". So, I asked for a copy of my contract to be sent to me, which they advised would be done over email. And...nothing. No email.
Too bad. I bought because I really love its location and beauty...but I can't abide passive thievery via fine print and addendum ploys. I'll keep my timeshare in Montana...they're awesome and send me notices regularly. They even call me once a year to see how they can improve services. Now that's a way to treat an timeshare owner!
TENGO 2 TIEMPOS COMPARTIDOS EN EMERALD STATE MAZATLAN Y MONTECRISTO SIEMPRE SEMANA DE PASCUA ... TENEMOS 10 AÑOS CON LA MEMBRESIA Y SOLO 1 AÑO HEMOS PODIDO USAR NUESTRA SEMANA.... YA QUE SIEMPRE ESTA OCUPADO Y LAS SEMANAS QUE NOS OFRECEN FECHAS DE RESERVACION QUE NI AL CASO....
