Category Pueblo Bonito Montecristo Luxury Villas Esperanza, Auberge Collection

Refined oceanfront luxury resort with a polished, romantic, and highly serviced feel—ideal for couples and travelers seeking a quieter five-star escape.

Dining All-inclusive dining access includes Cíbola at the Montecristo Clubhouse, plus restaurants at sister Pueblo Bonito properties and available in-villa private chef service. A more resort-led dining experience with upscale, oceanfront-leaning ambience and a stronger fit for travelers who want à la carte luxury rather than an all-inclusive villa model.
Pools & Beach Each villa has a private infinity pool, with a shared clubhouse pool also available; beach time is generally accessed through nearby sister-resort facilities. A stronger pick for travelers who want the feel of an oceanfront luxury resort, with pools and coastal lounging integrated into the main resort experience.
Kids & Family All-ages resort with facilities for children and large villas that work well for families, multi-generational trips, and groups needing shared space. Welcomes a luxury leisure crowd but feels more naturally suited to couples, celebrations, and travelers prioritizing tranquility over a family-villa setup.
Price & Value Best value for groups who will use the full villa footprint, private pool, kitchen, all-inclusive dining access, and sister-resort privileges. Best value for travelers who want high-touch oceanfront luxury, Auberge polish, and a more intimate resort experience rather than maximum space.
