SAFETY FIRST
I know we have been locked down by COVID-19 so now it's time to starting living again. My wife and I have visited many resorts since this pandemic. When we visited Pueblo Bonita Sunset Beach, it instantly gave us a sense of relief knowing this resort's Covid-19 safety protocol was one of the best we have seen.

New Covid-19 Test Requirements for Travel to the U.S.
As many are already aware, the CDC has announced that anyone traveling to the U.S. on or after January 26th will be required to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test, as well as a signed attestation letter, prior to entering the country. We are pleased to announce that, as part of our CARE program, Pueblo Bonito is now offering same-day, COVID-19 testing services to help our guests easily comply with these new requirements.
Test centers are located onsite, and the services are included with our all-inclusive package for stays of 3 nights or longer (one test per person; additional tests available for $17 USD, taxes included). Arrangements can be made via the pre-check-in process, or with the concierge or front desk upon arrival. Results will be provided the same day as the test is administered, and the official government certification required by the CDC will be available within 24 hours of your test.
In addition to ensuring your safety, making sure you have a carefree vacation experience is our top priority. We will continue to work diligently to remain in compliance with the most recent requirements and guidelines, so that all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay.
