Please note: This review is from the perspective of someone staying with a member, and I visited…read moreduring the off-season. During that time, the resort does repairs and maintenance to prepare for the high season, so expect some construction and movement around the property.
Despite that, Club Solaris Cancun was one of the top experiences of my life! It's a wonderful place to stay. What it may lack in "luxury," it more than makes up for in service -- truly the best service and the kindest people.
Because of my friend's membership level, I stayed in the Club Solaris members area, but honestly, the great service is consistent throughout the resort. The staff remembers guests by name, and I saw many returning members warmly hugging the employees they've known from past visits. You can feel the genuine care and connection.
The rooms are a great size, each with a coffee maker and refrigerator. I had a room to myself, and it was perfect. As a member, they personally walk you through daily activities, help make dinner reservations, and even arrange excursions for you. If you're not a member, the concierge and guest services office are always available to assist.
A special mention goes to Omar in the members' office -- he's wonderful.
Breakfast
I started each morning with breakfast in the members' area, which offered a fantastic assortment of food. My personal favorites were the made-to-order omelets and the fresh, sushi-style salmon and ahi tuna. Coffee and mimosas flowed freely, and smoothies were available upon request.
Special shoutouts at breakfast:
* Tomas - Always served with a smile and even brought me bacon, though it wasn't out yet.
* Julian - Warm, friendly, and always great conversation and service.
* Roman - Makes a perfect omelet every time, smiling as he works his magic on the grill.
(Tip: Ask for a smoothie -- they'll make it fresh for you!)
Pool Time
Spending time at the pool is a must!
Lunch by the pool includes standard fare -- pizza, chicken nuggets, nachos, fries, hamburgers, poke bowls, California rolls, mac and cheese -- it's casual but satisfying.
Drinks tip: Head to the adult pool for branded liquor. Otherwise, they typically use well or house brands unless you ask.
Special thanks to Marrya, who worked tirelessly serving everyone around the pool by herself -- she's amazing!
Throughout the day, there are plenty of fun activities like bingo, water Zumba, and flip-the-cup. Maxine, the pool host, keeps the energy up and everyone smiling.
(Pro tip: Bring your own cup, thermos, or Stanley tumbler -- they'll fill it with ice and water for free.)
There are three pools and three hot tubs, and the ocean views are incredible -- just steps away from the beach!
Spa! Small but clean. Ask for Bonita. She was great.
Dinner
Dinner reservations are a must. The best restaurant, hands down, is Marco Polo.
A big thank you to Alex, Ivan, and Ricky for their wonderful dinner service!
Nightlife
The resort offers nightly entertainment like singers and live shows. They're nice, but if you're looking for a livelier nightlife, you may want to head into town.
There's also an MVP Sports Bar, which is a great spot to hang out -- it has a pool table, three TVs, music, and an air hockey table.
A huge thanks to Javier for his excellent service and patience with our card games!
Highly recommend the member experience!
