Brittany T.

Very average stay for the price Let me start off by saying there are TWO Solmar resorts that are right next to each other. Solmar and Grand Solmar. When booking online, the distinction is not very clear. I picked this resort for the "all inclusive" and went in October 2023. My mom and I stayed in a one bedroom for my birthday and I was very disappointed. The TV in our room kept breaking and we didn't have a large view of the ocean. It was also a decent walk from our room to the main pool/jacuzzi/restaurant. Please note that if you are vegan/vegetarian, your food options are VERY limited. There's only 1 main restaurant and then two small restaurants on site included in the "all inclusive". The Grand Solmar has a TON more food options and nicer pool areas (which is where I thought I was booking). I tried to get a bean burrito one evening and they weren't able to accommodate because it wasn't on the menu? Very strange. They only had meat options. The next day, I was able to get vegetarian food and it was really delicious. Options still super limited for all inclusive. The alcohol is very weak. Each drink gave me a slight headache and was loaded with sugar. The swim up bar was really cold and it was not worth the swim for the mediocre drinks. The service is outstanding. All employees were extremely friendly and spoke English and Spanish. However, I did end up spending a few hundreds on tips alone. Also **YOU CANNOT SWIM IN THE OCEAN** in front of the resort. You will get crushed the massive waves and be sucked out to sea. Apparently it happens often and happened to a young female traveler the week before we got there. It's approx 1 hr from the airport. I suggest purchasing your own transport (my recommendation is Cabo lindo transport) to and from the airport. It's expensive, but cheaper than what the resort has to offer. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the regular Solmar resort. It's about 15-20 min walk from the harbor and perhaps a 45 min walk to medando beach (which is extremely busy and a place for party people- not relaxing at all). Id recommend family and friends to stay somewhere else completely. I have a hard time saying I would even recommend the Grand Solmar since the location of the resort kind of sucked.

I researched a good location for a relaxing stay with delicious food and nice service. Solmar Hotel is an hour from the airport, and they offer a shuttle service for $48 per person going the hotel and coming back to the airport. I wanted a relaxing place to swim in the ocean, but unfortunately, the massive tides at Solmar make ocean swimming impossible. One evening, we swam at 7 pm and bought drinks, and despite the pool being closed, they let us stay because we had drinks. The swimming towels should be in your room, but we just asked for them at the pool with no problem. For food, they offer breakfast, but you'll get most of your meals from the Tejaban restaurant. We tried the pizza, which was good, but the sushi is only available until 7 pm. The food is pricey but delicious. Our room was on the 3rd floor and very spacious. It had a bedroom with a balcony and bathroom, and a living room with a balcony and bathroom. The room was equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, utensils, sink, hair dryer, and iron. I loved the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap. Unfortunately, one of the towels had a tiny bloodstain, which was unpleasant. A good hotel should provide good service, which is why we pay to stay there. The massage service is available until 4:30 pm, but we didn't try it because it was too early and expensive. If you want to buy souvenirs, it's a 10-15 minute walk. Remember to wear a hat, sunscreen, and bring a fan because it gets hot in the summer! They offer many activities, but we booked ours elsewhere. Despite some downsides, we had a good time at Solmar Hotel.

The Solmar Resort is a beautiful resort located right along the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They have options for all-inclusive drinks and dining, multiple pools, multiple restaurants, and even a swim up bar. They are about a 45 minute drive from the airport there, but you can arrange for a driver service ahead of time that will pick you up from the airport and drive you directly to the resort. When we were checking in, we had a party of 5 that was supposed to be booked across 2 rooms. However, since they were pretty full in terms of the small rooms, they offered to combine our two rooms to a suite for free. This was amazing as we ended up having a huge beautiful room on the top floor with a large patio, and we could all stay together which was superb. The beach is beautiful to walk along, unfortunately the riptides are dangerous so there is absolutely no swimming permitted. However, if you would like to swim you can check out one of the pools or hang out in the hot tub. The staff is very friendly and they even have an event Programmer named Jorge who is super cool and sets up a lot of great fun events for everyone. While we were there, we got to experience a Mexican fiesta with traditional singers, dancers, and a buffet, as well as a fantastic Super Bowl Party with all the American classics. It definitely makes sense to do all inclusive if you are going to be staying there during the day since the non-inclusive prices looked insanely high, plus all-inclusive let's you drink as much as you want, and there drinks are delicious. They have the best Piña Coladas! And I got to try a whole bunch of fun drinks I've never had before like Dirty Monkeys and Miami Vices. The staff are all super cool and love to make jokes with you and try to make you relax and drink more. Sometimes the service can be a little slow, but the whole atmosphere is so relaxing that you don't really mind. It should be noted that you should bring a bunch of small cash tips. The waiters love when you give them just a couple bucks each time. This was by far the most relaxing trip I've ever had, and I think we all loved it so much we are planning to make this an annual thing.

Beautiful place. Loved chitchatting with the staff and locals. Loved Luis's exercise classes. He's amazing and so knowledgeable and fun! Great walks on the beach. Walked everyday to the marina and downtown. Bought some great gifts too.

A solid 3.5 stars for Solmar, but I felt as if 4 stars would not reflect this review accurately, so 3 it is. The all-inclusive package is essentially double the price in comparison to the regular rate, and is the smarter option. Without the all-inclusive package, the meals at this resort would already cost more than the stay. The main restaurant, Trebejan, is pretty overpriced, so I am happy that my friend and I did the all-inclusive package. It is not the most amazing food, but it was still good, and it being free made it all that much better. The service was hit or miss. Though the people were very nice, they were not attentive whatsoever. We would rarely get checked up on, even when it was not during "peak" hours. The alcoholic beverages were not alcoholic at all. They were very watered down, so you either have to ask for shots and pour them in, or just ask for it to be made stronger. They were very sugary, especially the mojitos... Oh, those mojitos. There was also a snack bar and a sushi hut, which we did not get a chance to visit. For some reason I was not too fond of having sushi here because I very much love sushi and Japanese food, so I was afraid it was not going to suffice. My favorite part of this resort was the pool, the pool area and the pool bar. The water was very warm and there were gorgeous cabanas in the area. The pool bar was so fun because the seats were in the water, so you're halfway in the pool while seated and drinking (watered down) drinks. The rooms were on the older side, which is understandable because Solmar is one of the first resorts that was built (so I've heard). I really enjoyed how when I opened the sliding door of my room, though, I could basically walk to the pool. The WiFi was not great at all, and it took a while for the water to get hot. The bed and pillows were very comfy. The television probably has less than 15 channels, all outdated or in Spanish. Another positive about this resort was the people. The front desk staff was always nice and so helpful. There was a gentleman in particular (I do not remember his name) who was working most days of our stay, and very sincere. The Grand Solmar is right next door, and such a tease because it's beautiful with amazing amenities, but Solmar guests are not able to utilize them. Though we are able to go to the sister resort, the Playa Grande (I believe it's called), and use their pool and gym. There is a free bus that is able to take you, but the food is not included in the all-inclusive package. There were a lot of positives and negatives. The resort was not too far from the Marina (downtown), but it felt as if the drive (from the airport) took forever. It is very far from civilization (kidding). Take all of this into consideration, but it is also on the more affordable sides when looking at all-inclusive packages. Regardless, I enjoyed my stay because I was not at the resort too much of my time in Cabo.

Solmar Resort is Absolutely AMAZING my husband and I stayed here on our honey moon and I am glad we did. Food was DELICIOUS so were drinks and we got a great deal on Groupon for the all inclusive package which allowed us to stay at an ocean view room. My husband and I loved it so much we want to return for our anniversary. There are some things to know: Transportation from the airport is about 17$ per person which wasn't bad. DO NOT buy any incursions through the airport. We did and wish we had not spend 20$ for an Arc cruise and it was not worth it. If you have to get close to the Arc do water taxi a lot cheaper and they bring you close. They have tequila tasting EVERYWHERE we went downtown and got drunk before we were even able to make it to the beach. Solmar does not have a swimmable beach so you need to go further down to get in the water I recommend!!

Shout out to all of the great staff at Solmar Resort!! Alfredo, Arturo, Alexis (1 and 2), Eric, Ariel and I could go on! Everyone was so friendly and always was there for us. The food was great and so we're the views. We can't wait to come back. On October 30th the resort had a Mexican Fiesta, which had a delicious buffet and wonderful dancers and singers. I recommend getting the all inclusive for drinks and food by the pool and in the restaurants.

It's windy this time of year, highs in the lower 70s. Just arrived at Solmar resort in Cabo San Lucas. The front desk staff was nice and responsive. We got the all-inclusive package. No hype, no pressure, checkin was first rate. Escorted walk to room shows that the property is beautiful and for the most part seems well maintained. The beach is beautiful with picturesque waves. Those big beautiful waves are so big that swimming is an absolute non-starter, you're just gonna die if you try. The room is clean but dated. It's not bad really, just 70s-ish style. The A/C unit is gawd-awful loud. The bathroom is, well, different (see the photos). Hard to describe what was actually the concept but I don't think they achieved it. The hair dryer is not connected to the power supply in accordance to anyone's electrical code, even for Mexico. (See the picture) Yep, it likely a fire hazard. On the very positive side; the hot water is hot and plentiful and the water pressure is extreme! Dresser, closets and such are adequate. This room comes with a kitchenette and large fridge, pots/pans and everything you need to cook meals. Again, the decor is 70s. The bed is extremely comfortable and well made. This time of year it's a little chilly at night so that really loud A/C can be shut down. The staff is attentive but a little slow in response to requests. Breakfast was good, presentation was really good. Service was attentive and again maybe a little slow. The food is exceptional considering it's all inclusive (see pictures). I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stick with Spanish themed foods, it's pretty good. I'm particular about food safety, eggs should be scrambled. The alcoholic drinks are not loaded, that's good. Nothing like a mid-day drunk to ruin a good evening. The pool area, chairs and lounges are comfy enough and so far, it's not overcrowded. You can get meals by the pool if you wish. This place does seem to qualify as a relaxation haven. No big young adult parties full of delirium drunks celebrating their privilege. The Solmar arranged for COVID tests to get us back to the US. Again, very calm no big production. This place is awesome, the staff is great, the food is great, the view is great, what's there not to like? Just remember, the employees are working their hardest to make your time memorable, so tip generously! This is their livelihood and they've been effected by COVID just like everyone else, show them you care! Separate from the resort we had chance to go to the beach, off property. I love Mexico and all she has but, there is way too much pan handling. Relaxation on the beach is really, nonexistent someone is attempting to sell you something every couple of minutes. Their not easily discouraged so a gentle know gets nowhere. Being rude is not my makeup but...... Boat trip to the arch is a tremendous letdown. Too many people with too many boats ruin the experience. Friends up north need to come down here and see what unregulated capitalism actually looks like. Solmar is great, Cabo is great just lower your expectations when it comes to the dream beach painted by media.

This is my 1st time here and it was well manicured & maintained resort. This is Mexico so keep in mind that you'll be hustled at the front desk to upgrade rooms so don't hesitate to negotiate the prices. I upgraded to a master suite for an extra $30 per night, which started at $50 per night. So hold your ground. Next comes the sales pitch for timeshares. If you decide to attend a breakfast or luncheon sales meeting don't be afraid to ask for some free excursions (fishing trip, free ATV rentals or dinners). Some resorts will actually pay you cash but if they don't offer cash then simply ask if they will pay you to attend. This resort is a quiet resort and great if you want to get away from the party scene. Mostly older couples chilling at pool side. The resort has 3 relatively small pools, one of which, has a swim up bar. Unfortunately the pool water was really cold but it didn't stop me from hanging out in it. The food was good but nothing to rave about . There is one main restaurant and two cafe style grills located throughout the property. Things to know. This resort is NOT solely all inclusive. Those who want to stay here have the option to purchase an all inclusive package or a traditional pay to stay. For this reason one must read the fine print regarding the "All Inclusive" package. Certain services are NOT included in the All Inclusive but are offered at a "Discount " rate. See below for a few of the discounted items that are usually included at A.I. Resorts but are NOT included at Solmar Resort: 25% Off Daily Specials 25% Off on Lobster 25% Off Room Service (if they deem that your room requires extra cleaning) 25% Off Premium Bar I wouldn't recommend using the resorts shuttle service (green vans) because they are old and in poor condition. The resort charges $21 per person for the shuttle service but a private taxi van will charge only $20 per person and most are new vehicles. I used the resorts shuttle service and paid $21 per person for the shuttle to take us to the airport. Our van overheated and had to pull over on the road to the airport. We eventually got back on the road after the driver added some water into the radiator. Overall it was a good experience at this resort but it was nothing special. I don't see myself returning.

Challenging golf course for sure. Brand new golf carts as well. Unfortunately my cart died on the back nine and had to walk the rest of the course.

We booked this resort for my birthday and when we got there they had decorated my room with "Happy Birthday" The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Both the main bedroom and living room had balconies which were nice to sit off of since we could see the pool and ocean from them. The staff was outstanding! They were so nice, accommodating, and went above and beyond for the guests. We did the all inclusive. The restaurant and swim up bar were great with their food options. Everything we had was yummy! Breakfast was definitely our favorite with the great view of the beach and ocean. It was a fun but very relaxing environment ! We will definitely be back! read more

Me and five friends had a good stay here for 4 nights August 15th. We opted for the all-inclusive package. Pros: -Close to the Marina, about 10-15 minute walk. -Nice pool and swim up bar -Well kept grounds. -We stayed in room 2364, A king suite which was really nice with a large living room/kitchen, two bathrooms and three balconies for only 28 dollars extra a night vs. our original king studio, which would have been significantly smaller. -Pretty good food -Fun events, like the bonfire party and the Mexican party. -Beautiful views of the desert, mountains and beach. Cons: -Very watered down drinks and very low-tier and limited drinks available. -Very slow service and hit-or-miss waitstaff. -Had to sign for everything all the time, which was a hassle. -Only 1 actual restaurant which definitely gets old quickly. -Can not swim at the beach due to rip tides. -Can not order to go, even for water bottles, without extra cost. -No welcome drink and empty fridge upon check-in. -Can not use the grand solmar pool next door; can use the playa grande pool but your all inclusive wristband does not work there. read more

I'd give Solmar a solid 3.5 stars and a big part of that was the staff. We had super friendly people the whole time. We did not participate in the all inclusive, and that is just because we don't like to stay and eat all in one place. However, some couples we met did and the big perk was the sushi bar. They said the sushi was great and you could have it delivered to the swim up bar. The resort itself is well kept, but the rooms are dated. That is not a big deal to us since we are hardly in the room and the staff comes in to clean daily. The hotel is about a 10 min walk to the marina and is very safe. We never felt like there were any issues. You can also use the other two hotels next to Solmar's pool (same owners). If you're wanting to see how the other half lives walk next door to the grand Solmar. It is quite the spectacle! read more

Solid resort at a great price. Location is great, rooms are old but kept up very nice and all inclusive was a great value. Mixed drinks were bottom shelf but not bad, had a bottle of Crown in the room for the wife. Food I really good and is cooked to order, loved having sushi by the pool and they even cooked the fish I caught. Staff is outstanding and we already have 2 more trips booked here. read more

We haven't even finished our stay but I thought I should review it while it is fresh. So far it has been AMAZING! From the moment we got here we have felt taken care of in so many ways. Marco helped us to our room where we had a beautiful view of the upper pool. At one point we lost a pair of sunglasses and the hotel called us to let us know when they had found them. Compared to the Playa Grande (the other Solmar property) the Solmar Resort is so quiet and relaxing. For it just being us two girls it has felt so safe and been so fun. It is peaceful for those who are wanting to just hangout and relax. 10 minute walk to Cabo. All Inclusive is the way to go, so worth it to not have to pay for bottled water, meals, buffets, drinks, etc. Below are some things we have loved.... - You can order sushi at the sushi bar, pool or Tejaban, sashimi is to die for! - Green smoothie (licuado verde) at breakfast is so good (celery, spinach, sprouts, parsley, and orange) - Solmar Omelet is really fresh and good - Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating - Rooms are spacious and clean (maids come twice a day) - Events throughout the week (fiesta, bonfire night, etc. all put on by the amazing events coordinators Natalie and Teresa) makes it so fun with friends or family. Buffet style with games and live entertainment and music. HUGE PERK, if you stay at the Solmar Resort and are all inclusive, you can ask for a shuttle and go use the other pools, mini golf and fitness center at the Playa Grande. You have to pay for food and drinks over there but the pools are incredible. You basically get access to two resorts for the price of one. The shuttles are free and super quick. Of course the resort is not a Ritz or a Four Seasons, but for the money it has been amazing and so relaxing. At the Solmar, you feel taken care of. read more

Very tough to beat the price and location. I assumed what I was getting, having never visited, but was pleasantly surprised with the condo. I did not pay for the all-inclusive because I don't really drink and eat sparingly. I prefer to make my own meals. I did have breakfast included in the price and found it to actually be far better than anticipated. They serve until 11 a.m. so it basically served as lunch. The kitchen in the condo had plenty of gear for cooking and there are more than enough options for purchasing food within short walking distance. CONS: Paid wifi (costs about $13/day) and paid access to the fitness center at Playa Grande ($11/day or $42/week) There are most definitely nicer places around but they also cost about 4 x's more...at least. Everything was more than adequate and the staff was super nice. Perfect beachfront to watch the sunset from too. read more

Just don't. 1. The hotel itself is super old with legit moldy curtains and windows that won't open. 2. The service while friendly was crazy slow and legit avoided taking orders from women #metoo 3. The hot tub had green bubbles in the center. 4. We ordered a shuttle (through the hotel) to go to the airport and it never showed up. Like - never.showed.up. And eventually they had to get us a taxi but didn't want to refund us for the shuttle, you know the one that never showed up. 5. You can't even swim in the ocean on this side. read more

Why was the original page for Solmar Resort deleted and all of it's old reviews merged with the MUCH NICER, 5-star Grand Solmar Land's End Resort? That's messed up. Here is my original review for SOLMAR, not Grand Solmar: KEY THINGS: 1. ANTS ALL OVER THE ROOM 2. Terrible food. I should preface my review by saying that before coming to Solmar, I stayed a couple of days at their sister resort, Grand Solmar, next door. I decided to try out Solmar for a couple of days due to the all-inclusive package. Upon arrival, we got an upgrade from a studio to a 1-bedroom since we stayed at Grand Solmar before, which was a really nice gesture by the staff. Yay! And then, I entered my room. This place is old, people, like you feel like you're in a motel of the 1980's kind of old. It's not really been updated at all. If you want that kind of feeling, then this is your place. Solmar also has a way different demographic than Grand Solmar. There were a ton more young spring breakers here all smooching on each other the whole time or blasting music. Not really my vibe. Accommodations: Pros: - big space (1 bedroom) - large king sized bed - relatively clean - free water, sprite, Tecate already in your fridge Cons: - ANTS EVERYWHERE IN THE ROOM. EVERYWHERE. On the floor, all over the nightstand. Crawling all over our books and our stuff. EVERYWHERE. I couldn't sleep the first night because I thought they were going to crawl all over me and eat me. - The tub in the master bath didn't drain. We were showering in 2 inches of water every time. - This place is so old compared to the other resorts in the area - Two small pools Food: Pros: - "Free". Taxes and gratuity are included in your package (so are you supposed to tip extra??) - Breakfast. The breakfast is actually pretty decent. Cons: - Sushi tastes like crap. Don't get it. People rave about the sushi but it's literally the worst sushi I've ever had. The "salmon sashimi" was like terrible cuts of salmon marinated in some sort of sauce. The "spicy tuna handroll" I ordered came to me as a "spicy tuna maki roll" - rice was soggy and the spicy tuna was overly marinated in mayo. EVERYTHING HAD CREAM CHEESE IN IT. GROSS. - Dinner was mediocre. I've had better Mexican food in NYC. Actually, I've had better food on a cruise ship. Come to think of it, I don't think I was spoiled by the nicer sister resort. I was not satisfied with the quality of living and food for the amount I paid. Solmar is like the motels of beach resorts. Don't come here unless you don't have a choice. Do yourself a favor and pay the same price for a nicer resort and venture out to the city for your meals - so much more worth it. read more

Off the beaten path, no swimming in the ocean, expensive if not all inclusive, pretty much one restaurant and a make shift sushi hut, sports bar with two bar stools lol, expensive wifi.

I came to Cabo for the first time in April 2018 and was really impressed with Solmar. The hotel staff, from the front desk, to bell hops, to the housekeepers, to the restaurant staff were all great. The room was ok, definitely big enough for 4 people, king size bed and a medium size pull out bed. The bathroom was really spacious but I didn't like the floor, always felt a little dirty because it was tile. The restaurant was my favorite thing about Solmar. The Tejeban (main restaurant) and the snack bar were amazing! The servers were always so kind and friendly. The food was great. I wasn't expecting the food to be that great because it was 'free' with all-inclusive but that was not the case. If we were not doing AI, I would consider it to be kinda expensive, but it was essentially minus tips. Really impressed. Shout out to Heriberto, Manny and Arturo, they were super hospitable. The view from the restaurant was so beautiful! The pools were both pretty. The pool by the snack bar seemed more lowkey and the one by the restaurant had an awesome view of the ocean and had a swim up bar! The grounds were beautiful and I felt safe because there was 24 hour service at the front gate and 24 hour bellhop service to order a taxi. Excellent location, 10 minute walk from the Marina and 5 minute taxi ride to downtown where all the nightlife is. Really enjoyed our time at Solmar, made our first Cabo trip a great one. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for his birthday in June and it was absolutely amazing. We had such a great time here. This was my first time in Cabo and this was the perfect place for us to stay during our trip. From the time you pull up to the resort until the day you leave they are so kind and welcoming. Not once did we feel uncomfortable or like the place was bad. The rooms were very nice and clean and authentic. We didn't want to stay at a fancy resort we wanted authenticity and we got a little of both. We were beyond happy here. Thank you to Sol Mar. read more

This is a beautiful all inclusive resort. My girlfriends and I found a Groupon and did a girls trip here. The Staff was amazing! Everyone was so sweet and kind and that made our stay very comfortable. Everything you need the staff will take care of you. If you want to travel around town to the clubs, beaches or Mango Deck the bellman will get a safe shuttle bus. For our all inclusive meals/drinks we ate at the Tejeban restaurant. Everything on the menu was spectacular. The most memorable dishes was the mixed Mocajete bubbling hot stone and breakfast. There's also a sushi bar by the pool. I ate everything on the menu and it was great. At the pool there's also a swim out bar. Nothing better than swimming and drinking all day. there's also the snack bar akak El Trebol- there we drank tequila (Mexican Water haha), margaritas, daiquiris and ate bomb poke, chicken wings and quesadillas. EVERYTHING THEY SERVE, IS FRESH AND MAKE TO ORDER. The resort is by the marina so it's a 5 minuet walk down the road. At the marina you can shop for souvenirs, try their many restaurants/bars or go on an excursion. The. My friends and I went on a boat tour for half the day. We paid $15 per person for a round trip tour to see the arcs and many beaches which was so worth it! The rest of the girls did the whale shark excursion to swim with whale sharks in La Paz for $200 and I stayed at the resort to recover from my gnarly all inclusive hang over. Overall I spent $600 for this 4 day trip. $250 round trip air, $250 for the 4 days all inclusive Groupon deal, and $100 for tipping/Souvenirs. I highly suggest this resort and want to come back here every month! read more

Really nice stay-perfectly planned with the dates- Checked in in on Monday Dec. 26th and out on Dec.30th. Hotel seemed relatively empty the first three nights so just perfect, then it started to fill up with all the New Year's Eve revealers on Thursday. Glad we left Friday. The guy continually yelling by the pool with the really loud and lame music was so annoying. I understand you like to provide entertainment for guests, but it was really lame and not much participation. Most just want to chill out by the pool and relax with a book or stare at their phones and it's hard to do with the guy yelling constantly. Also, the same people who "come here every year" were drunk and so annoying by Noon each day that we could not enjoy the upper level pool we found to escape the guy yelling into the microphone. Other than the constants drunks and the guy yelling, seems like a nice place. If your room overlooks the big pool and restaurant area, you will never be able to escape the guy yelling into the microphone - you will have to leave the resort. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE A PLAGUE. Long post but I want to warn others. Unfortunately, we were gullible enough to believe an airport salesman who promised us an affordable package of clear boat arch tour, souvenirs, breakfast buffet and massage therapy for 2 in Sol Mar for only $170. Expecting it to be a great deal for our honeymoon, little did we know that we were sold a timeshare snakeoil instead. NOTHING was mentioned that we will be forced to attend a presentation and be pressured to purchase a membership before we could avail any of the activities we were promised. We were so moved by his little spiel of supporting locally owned hotels as we were currently booked in a major hotel chain in San Jose del Cabo, we fell for this trap. We started with below than mediocre breakfast that even a budget inn in the US would put their menu to shame. Selections are few and basic and you are expected to tip the servers at the end of the less than impressive meal. We were toured around the pool area and were showed one of the model units in the ground floor. After this, the nightmare started. The sales person that we were with is charismatic, good at getting your trust and your information and status. He went on and on about the benefits of being a member at their resort, claiming that this is not your usual time share, bonus tax write off service and gave us a quotation of their "limited-today-only" price. As we travel a lot for leisure and business, we politely declined his offer as paying such amount plus additional expenses is not worth it for the number of days you are only allowed to use it in a year. He got another sales person involved to convince us to think about it and gave us another "last chance price" as they make it sound that their resort is the most exclusive place built in Cabo, saying that their nightly rates are usually $1600. Yeah right. That time, we already wasted 3 hours listening to their repeated sales pitch and we again declined the offer. They all tried their tricks up their sleeves for us to swipe our cards and spill that almost 3K downpayment on the spot. They started to sound sarcastic, questioning how we can afford to pay so much money on our monthly vacations and if the prices they're showing us are too expensive for our wallets. That's when we already got extremely annoyed as we are going around in circles and almost holding us hostage in pressuring us to buy their "once-in-a-lifetime deal". They tried one more time to convince us with another sales person, but we firmly declined. After that, they all started acting cold and had one guy escort us to the elevator. Such class for a "5 star, 4 diamond bougie hotel." Before we were able to claim our massage vouchers, another director of development asked us if we are still interested. When we told him no, he immediately stopped us, stood up and directed us to the front desk to collect our vouchers. Extremely rude. We were only able to get the massage therapy for two (the only good thing that happened today). They never gave us the complimentary gifts (blanket and tequila), the clear boat arch tour we have to book again for a different day (all time slots we are asking them are all "full"). We even have to pay for the taxi driver who drove us back to our hotel as he complained that he cannot cash out our payment voucher until next week. Way to ruin our honeymoon, congratulations Sol Mar, you are the clear winner on this one. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A DOG, BY ALL MEANS, WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. I will do everything to make sure that my colleagues, business associates and other vacationers will NEVER stay in a horrible place like this. Consider yourself warned. read more

We stayed here last summer after finding a killer deal on Groupon! Absolutely loved our stay here and wish the trip was lasted longer. The food was amazing and so were the drinks! They even had events and parties which were super fun and gave us the opportunity to make some friends. All staff members were great except some at the grand Solmar...since we were staying at the Solmar Resort and not the Grand Solmar next door, I felt as if they treated us with less respect. We were also restricted from entering the pool at this area and tried to upgrade our room to get the perks, but they didn't even let us! But besides all that, everything else was great and one of the best trips of my life. 10/10 would recommend as a relaxing getaway. read more

First let me say, it's not a luxury 5 stars hotel. If you're looking for marble bathroom, it's not your place. I, personally, wanted to stay in an authentic Mexican place. This hotel has Spanish style suits and it's pretty cute. I don't understand why people would come here for a vacation and stay in their room using wifi. I have to admit we were using our room for sleeping and changing and spent most of our days exploring and tanning, so we couldn't care less about Wifi (which was free and working well) and browsing the Internet. I mean, you're in Cabo, who cares about the outside world?? F them. Pros- Staff are absolutely the friendliest people. Drinks are great. Room service is fast. Very attentive front desk. Ocean views from our room. Clean. No Ants. Free wifi Cons- The Time share scam. If I knew I had to suffer through presentation and then pushy sales, just for discounted activities- I would have never. Don't fall in this trap (to be honest we bought it from the guy in the airport and were supposed to go to a different hotel but we were spotted by this woman from Grand Solmar and fell in her trap). Over all, I had a great vacation. But then again, I normally look at the bright side and won't let a hotel spoil my precious get aways. read more

You have to have realistic expectations when you stay here. Solmar is the only moderate priced resort nestled between more expensive properties, (such as the Grand Solmar). The Solmar Resort pools were clean and a good temperature when we there, with good service. The rooms are clean, although some would say dated-- but we prefer it that way, as it gives them character :) lots of tile, wacky tub and a big lanai. We had a rental car, and the free valet service was fast and friendly. The best part was the location, walking distance to the marina and main part of Cabo. Felt very safe. It is also on the pretty Pacific ocean -- but the resort staff will actually pester you if you go too close to the water. Saw grey whales swim by when we were there (December 2017). read more

This was our second time at this resort and if your looking for an older, smaller, and quite resort I highly recommend them. The property is beautiful, rooms are very clean, and the staff was very friendly. Bars actually close a little too early so if your looking for a party place you need to look elsewhere, I wish they were open a little later but it still worked out. Rooms are very comfortable, food choices are excellent, and all the staff is so friendly. We were there two years ago and actually had a staff member remember my husband by name. These are the little things that will keep us coming back for years. The only downfalls we had this time was there was not enough staff to handle meal and bar crowds. The wait staff was slow to get to you but eating it was good because they never rushed you. We were on the All Inclusive Plan and found that several times drinks were not on our tickets or things were on there we did not order. I also felt the activity director was not as well as the last time we were there, there was only one evening show this time when last time we went there was activities every night. I contribute these minimal issues with The pandemic and I am sure once everything is up and running in full swing they will be resolved therefore I will still consider this resort for my future trips to Cabo. Thanks Solmar for a great visit! read more

Great resort! This was my first time at an all inclusive resort and i loved it. We came on a girls trip - there were 5 of us and we had so much fun. The staff was the best, very friendly accommodating and funny. The resort is right on the beach, you can see the ocean from the pool and main restaurant. Although i should mention you cannot swim from that beach as the tide is too much. You can walk 10 to a beach by the marina, take a boat from the marina to lovers beach or a cab from the resort to medano beach is good too. The Mexican Food at the restaurant is very good!

Stayed at Solmar with an all-inclusive package for 6 nights. The all-inclusive is recommended, otherwise they have ridiculous prices for food/drinks. The room was clean, spacious, and housekeeping staff were excellent at cleaning daily. The food from the Tejaban restaurant was well prepared and seemed to be good quality. Waitstaff and hostess were all friendly, attentive, and accomodating. All drinks from the bar were weak and sugary. After the first day I started ordering extra side shots of liquor to pour into the mixed drinks I ordered and balance them out. Avoid the swimming pool. There was foamy scum and debris floating in it by the afternoon and evening. Also, it was very warm. You can take a free shuttle to the Playa Grande Hotel which has multiple very large, clean pools and an overall more pleasing and entertaining atmosphere with activities and games. You don't however receive free drinks there with your Solmar all inclusive. The worst part was the Grand Solmar resort next door, the main reason I would not come back to Solmar. The timeshare people constantly pressure you while walking around the entrance to take their tour/presentation. Our "tour" consisted of mediocre breakfast, an older American man who insulted Mexican laborers several times, and multiple pushy salesman. Don't come here to spend time on the beach, the Pacific is too rough for swimming and the resorts do everything they can to try to keep you off the beach. read more

This is the second time I've stayed with Solmar Resorts. The first time was at the Grand Solmar which was an exceptional experinece which was why we came back. We couldnt get into the Grand Solmar this time so decided to do the Solmar which is attached and you are able to enjoy both locations. I figured given the quality of the Grand Solmar, the attached adjacent property would be equally nice, just smaller. We had walked through the property the last time we were here so thought that was a safe bet TOURIST ADVICE:. Avoid the Solmar!!! The rooms need an upgrade. The pools are dingy and it is NOT true you get to use the Grand Solmar facilities to make it tolerable. You are not allowed to use the Grand Solmar pools and must pay to use the workout facilities. All you can do is eat at the resturants. Pretty much felt like a second rate guest this time out. Wish I would have went for a totally different Cabo experience. Wont make that mistake next time. read more

Worst hotel ever. Booked her by Groupon, told me to make reservation via website to hold booking, after my stay sends me a bill for DOUBLE BOOKING. Seriously ???? $300 for a no show fee, when I was there and told my trip needed nothing else for me and the stay was all set. Thanks a lot concierge !! Didn't manage to notice you booked me twice when I checked in ?? Then only realized when I am back in the states and decide to charge my card $300 extra? What are the chances. Such evil business ethic. Rooms are dirty, bathroom hasn't been cleaned in years. Outdated. And literally no one is staying there. Only 6 diff groups through a weekend. I guess they're desperate for money??? They have to double charge everyone that stays. Working this out with my bank as we speak. read more

A very good experience. If you're looking for somewhere low key to stay and relax- this is it. It won't be a big party with unruly teens...it's more of a quiet and quaint resort. I went there on a bachelorette for with 7 girls with the all inclusive option. Food: There is a main restaurant called the Tejaban which has pretty good food! The salsa is so fresh and to die for- so is the fish! I got the Norwegian bagel every single morning, because it has smoked salmon (which was delicious) They also have another restaurant (which is more like a bar), and it has good snack food. Wings were eh, by the guacamole was fresh and wonderful. The drinks are pretty weak. We skipped the monitors and margaritas and went straight for shots, and that still didn't give us a buzz. Ah well. Rooms: clean and tidy. The interior has a older vibe, so if you're looking for modern, go somewhere else. this did not bother us, as the beds were comfy. We got welcome drinks upon our arrival and chocolate covered strawberries! A very nice touch. It takes a few minutes for the water to get hot, which is okay. Yes, there were a few ants in the bathroom, but what do you expect- you're on a beach! I completely noticed that when I tipped the house maintenance, we got coffee near our coffee pot and paper towels. Service: We were treated very well for the most part. The bellboys were very helpful to guide us, and everyone was friendly to us in general! One of the girls hit her leg against a cactus and they had someone put antiseptic and and bandaid. Very very sweet. The waiters were very accommodating to two of our vegetarian guests and they seemed happy to do it...at first. I went ahead and gave 5 stars, but I was bothered by this experience. Since our Groupon option told us gratuities were included, we blindly didn't tip at first and could see the drastic change in service. It would take forever to get coffee, and the waiters seemed very displeased. The moment we started tipping, our service was top notch- they catered to our every need. I have no problem tipping, but I wish the Groupon option didn't make it seem like gratuity was taken care of. Didn't think we would get such a difference in service. Moral of the story? TIP. You will see a difference in service. We got better service at the other restaurant. They snuck in a few rounds of shots for us :) Atmosphere: there were two events going on- a Mexican fiesta night on Saturday and a tropical night on Thursday. This is where they serve dinner buffet style. Food was good :), but go to the Saturday show! The host was a riot. The beach is so beautiful, and they have a swim up pool bar area which I didn't get to try, but heard good things. Didn't try the spa either. Also I am not sure why people are complaining about wifi. There is FREE WIFI- yes you heard that. It's spotty, but enough for Snapchat, emails, Facebook. You would need to pay 13 for streaming videos and such. Overall I would give this resort 4.8/5. Totally worth the value we all paid. read more

Total Bait and Switch... Booked through Travelocity. We showed up and they told us they had exciting news!! That they were oversold and they were upgrading us to a brand new resort (that they are selling timeshares to) Oh, and the new exciting place is 15 miles from downtown Cabo. After wrangling out of the lobby from the timeshare lady, it was 45 min till the shuttle came... When we got to the resort, it is fully under construction with construction activity 50 feet from our room. There is only one restaurant open after 6, and it is a $35 cab ride to town.... So we decided to explore around here, amazing pools, amazing beach, and grab a rental car to get in when we wanted to. RECAP We booked this place - short walk to downtown... what we got - $35 cab ride to downtown. What we booked - established property... what we got - with the established property full, they shipped us to a different property fully under construction less than 50 feet from our room workers are hammering and grinding... even on a Saturday (see photo of workers one balcony away using loud torches - so loud that we couldn't hear the TV in our room when they were using it). AFTER WE GOT TO THE "CONSTRUCTION RESORT" I reached out to Travelocity and got a message that Solmar sent to Travelocity it simply said "We will address this directly". That was 2 days ago... I have had no communication from Travelocity or Solmar. We rented a car and have made the best of it, but THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE BOOKED. In addition, They used this "Exciting upgrade" to hit us with timeshare pitches every chance they had. I ended up having to have a very direct convo with the persistent Michelle (timeshare lady) and told her our experience, our intention of our trip (to relax), and that I am not attending a free breakfast or having another conversation with her about timeshares. Overall, I understand how things get overbooked, I understand things don't always go as planned - This experience however, has been one that feels like an intentional opportunistic grab of us to try and get an investor in a resort under construction without regard for the guests intention to just have a relaxing get away... I understand that Travelocity can't control what resorts do, but I am disappointed in how they have handled this ridiculous situation. I would expect more engagement in a situation like this... it makes me wonder why I would use Travelocity again - If I can't rely on what I book through Travelocity, I question why I would trust them again. read more

We stayed here for 3 days. The food was delicious. And the staff was friendly and helpful. Our first night we were woken up by the construction outside our window. I went and asked if construction would go on through the weekend? They offered to move us away from the construction once they found a room. We left to Medano Beach and when we came back, they had found us a room and had moved our stuff. To our delight, we found that we had been upgraded to a suite and we had the pool bar right outside our patio. The food was delicious at The Tejaban. I loved breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had no disappointments. The Tejaban omelet and both ceviches, were my favorite. The staff was very friendly. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for all the construction that is going on. The entrance is literally a construction site. We are planning on going back soon. We really enjoyed our time there. read more

I went to Cabo for 5 days with some friends and we stayed at Solmar Resort. The staff here was so friendly, fast and attentive. We did the all inclusive for $75 per day. The food was fabulous. The drinks were not fabulous. I think for all inclusive they maybe use the cheapest alcohol. The wine was terrible - Carlo Rossi in the big glass jug was the only option for wine. The drinks were not strong at all. That is my only complaint. Not sure I would do all inclusive again here because of poor quality alcohol. The grounds are kept up very well and it's very clean. Daniel, the bartender at the Palapa Grill was sooo friendly, smiley and nice. Alfredo, our waiter at the pool was fabulous! So attentive and friendly.

We had a great time at this resort, Marco the bell hop was so great! Arturo at the pool was great too. We had a room located on the ground level with pool view and some ocean views. We did have some neighbors that had 3 kids under 3 so it was quite loud all hours so it was hard to relax. Everyone on property was really nice though. The thing that sucks is the beach right by property you cannot swim in due to waves being so rough. So that really is a the sucky part, but we did try to enjoy the beach anyway. There was one lady named Teresa who walked the beach and was nice but she did a lot of talking when we were really trying to enjoy and relax. I am also sure some employees are working for tips so you don't know if it's genuine. Also bring dollars more than pesos. All places prefer that and i wasn't aware. also on property they take credit cards only not cash at the Restaurants. Also you can charge by room # as well. Food was okay but off property is better. We didn't do the all inclusive since we don't drink but glad we didn't since the food wasn't great. Rooms were also great, 2 bathrooms and a pull out couch. Had our own kitchen and fridge but you need your own soap and sponge. Also do not use the coffee or water they provide since they charge $$$ so we went to Walmart to grab items. Also on our way from the airport we were able to stop by a store to grab some water and snacks. Just wish we knew about the soap and coffee. They have a blender, toaster, and coffee maker w/some filters. read more

KEEP LOOKING Honestly, one of the worst all inclusive and overall hotel experiences. We booked this hotel in Cabo as it was all that was available for our last minute trip. We also added the all inclusive option for $77 a day. When we arrived Friday afternoon, we were told that they did not have a room for us (Yes, you read that right). Apparently our paid reservation did not guarantee us a room at the hotel we booked. We were asked to check in with them, and then go stay at their sister hotel down the road for the first night. We were then asked to check in at the sister hotel as well (another 30 min wait). Next morning, we had to leave this room by 11am. We tried to get our car and leave, and were told it was prohibited until we checked out. After a 45 MINUTE wait, we were finally able to get a piece of paper that told the bell boys we were allowed to leave the hotel. We head back to our original hotel to be told that we needed to check in for our new room. 25 minutes later in line , we are told our room would not be ready until 3pm. Our first night/day was completely ruined. At 3pm, we finally received our room and settled in. The all-inclusive experience- We have traveled around Mexico several times, and this was the worst experience. Alcohol is an undrinkable quality. "Premium" alcohol (Smirnoff, Bacardi, etc) has a cost of about $10 a drink (including the "discount" they give you from having the all inclusive). Cheaper to leave the hotel at this point. Room service is also not included!! They do generously give you a $25 discount if you have the all inclusive, but the $30 burger, $5 water and $10 fries are certainly not worth it. There is also water bottles and coffee in the room, but BEWARE! Coffee is $15 and Water is $5. Yes, same products you can literally walk downstairs and get for free. Late night adventurer? You are in trouble as EVERYTHING closes at 10pm. Want water? Drink from the sink. Snacks? Good luck Pools closes at 8pm, Pool service at 7pm Rooms and amenities are extremely old PROS Pool staff is absolutely wonderful and delightful. Probably the only reason we stayed and did not go home early. read more

DOV: 12/9/2016 - 12/12/2016: We came here for our 4 day mexican vacation to get away from the cold in SJC california. We got a very good deal from groupon getaways. I was surprised to see a 2 and1/2 stars on yelp and started to doubt our booking. But to my surprise we were more than happy to stay at our small mexicano-themed junior studio which was not really small. And what more can you ask for if you get beautiful balcony/patio with garden and pool views! There was a tiny kitchen which we never wanted to use. The bathroom was all over mexican tiles which I love and gave us a good mexican feel while in the bath/room :) We were provided with complimentary magarita dinks which was kinda nice :) We went to try their tejaban restaurant which was hosting a mexican festival and had live performers performing on the saturday night. It was a treat to watch them. The pool/jacuzzi was too much noisy as there was a group of spanish speaking guys probably celebrating 'bachelors' party but we did enjoy with them ;) The bar in the pool was great! We had LTE in our phones which worked without any issues so no complains about they not having free wifi - anyways who needs to be connected while on vacation! I would not down vote them for charging their customers for wifi :) The best part of this resort was it had great view of the pacific ocean but we cannot swim on that side of ocean as the tides are pretty bad on this side. But then marina and all the restaurants were so close at walking distance of this place that you can take a water taxi to anywhere to medano beach/lovers beach or the arch. Me and my hubs had a great time living at the solmar resort and if we come back we will definitely want to stay at this place again for all the convenience it provides and no need of renting a car :) Also, the resort helps you to book taxis on the spot and they can be at your service in 2 mins max as they are standing right outside the resort. Completely recommend this place!!! read more

Stayed here with my hubby for 5 nights and I really enjoyed our stay. The rooms need a bit of updating but they are clean and well maintained. They have that old school Mexican feel to them. If you are used to the newer resorts and updated amenities, then this place is not for you. The staff is amazing and accommodating. Although you cannot swim in the ocean cause it's on the pacific side, they have 2 pools; 1 with swim up bar. We elected to do the all inclusive because we like eat and drink and I believe it was well worth it. They have a sushi bar, restaurant, and pool snack bar. Sushi was okay, restaurant food and service was great, and the pool snack bar was your typical bar food like burgers, tacos, nachos, etc. All decent. The best thing about this place was it was low key and quaint. More for couples and older people... read more

Other than that, best stay i've ever had in terms of everything. Room, aesthetics, service, and location. Room was super spacious room with a soaking tub and rainfall shower, each room comes with its own plunge pool with water temperature set at 82 degrees so you can swim in it anytime. It also comes with a fire place, which comes in handy at night. The room is also equipped with binoculars for whale watching, very thoughtful. The service was top tier, better than Ritz Carlton and other Wardolf location I've stayed at. You get a personal concierge that can help you with whatever you need 24/7. Shout out to my concierge Raquel, she made the stay so much smoother. The location is prime. Walking distance from a lot of restaurants, bars, and clubs. If you don't want to walk uber's about $5-10 bucks.

Seamless Check-In, Private Butler & Villa Upgrade -- A Luxurious Hilton Diamond Experience…read more From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the experience felt luxurious and effortless. Check-In Experience As soon as we stepped out of the car, multiple staff members greeted us warmly. One offered welcome drinks, another handled our luggage, and we were introduced to our private butler. The butler took my phone number and let me know I could text anytime for assistance. Another staff member completed our check-in -- we never had to visit the front desk. We simply handed over our passports and credit card, and everything was taken care of. Room & Upgrade As Hilton Diamond members, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to 2 Bedroom Resort Casita with Plunge Pool without even asking. ‍ All rooms in this hotel have its own private pool. While the view wasn't the best (we could see the family pool rather than a clear ocean view), the villa itself was huge and very comfortable. Full kitchen, washer, and dryer made the stay extremely convenient. Even the bathroom tissues were scented -- a small but thoughtful detail! Things to Improve * Slippers were not very comfortable * Pillows were very soft -- great if you like soft pillows, but if you prefer firmer/high pillows, you may need to request extras * Didn't see cotton pads or cotton swabs in the room (probably available upon request) * Wi-Fi connection was unstable at times Overall Despite a few small drawbacks, the service, upgrade, and villa experience made this stay very memorable. The personalized check-in and Diamond recognition truly stood out.

The resort lobby has a very high cupola ceiling with an oculus at the top: lots of light and a nice airy feeling all around. Marble and wood and glass, plus comfortable high back chairs make you want to linger and chat while sipping a welcome to the resort margarita. There were six of us on vacation, we did the all-inclusive so didn't have anything but ourselves to lug around, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Playa Grande; from a great buffet and omelette station at breakfast, to the swim up bar, dinners at Brigantine, and the beach Fiesta on the second night. Colima restaurant is where we had breakfast : omelette station, great assortment of yogurts, fruit cups, smoked salmon, pancakes, eggs that are scrambled or poached (besides the omelette station) bacon and sausages... Mimosa at the table, orange and green juice at the buffet area; there is a full bar at Colima should you want something more. I am sorry I didn't make a note of our server's name here, he was polite and friendly and deserved a mention. I have more photos but can't seem to upload them now, maybe too many all together, so I'll add them later. We had a great time at this resort, enjoyed the days together with our friends, got tanned and had excellent service from everyone. In the lobby area there's a bar that makes good cocktails, fries and calamari, burgers. One night after dinner they made us Mexican coffees where we were sitting, it's so fun to watch the liquors flame up as they're poured into the glasses in metal holders :)) and very good to drink. The beach isn't a swimmable one at all, the currents and tides are very strong with two water systems colliding here at the end of Baja California sur. At night sleeping with the windows open I could hear my beloved ocean and feel a lovely breeze.

We heard nothing but raving reviews from our guests about the rooms and cleanliness of the entire resort. I already had family and friends asking when we can come back for our anniversaries lol. Now for our wedding: The planning through Casa Dorada's wedding coordinator, Katherine Anaya, was seamless and so easy. I can't express enough how amazing she was to handle everything for my husband and I since we are from California. The location of the resort is perfectly on the beach with nearby bars and restaurants. Yes you can hear the music from the bars but it stops at 9:30/10pm. Didn't hear any complaints from any of ours guests (ages 25-83). The wedding ceremony and reception was at the 12 Tribes Terrace and they really transformed the atmosphere to be exactly how I envisioned the wedding! If you're hesitant about doing a destination wedding in Cabo, I researched about 20 resorts and landed on Casa Dorada because of the value, location and how beautiful the resort looks. We are so happy with how our wedding came out and how amazing the staff is at this resort. We want to highlight our amazing wedding planner (through the resort) Katherine Anaya who handled everything for us and made sure the whole wedding experience was stress free and seamless for us. Her first impression through email with me truly made me feel her hospitality and kindness. Meeting her in person for our pre-wedding trip January 2026 just solidified that we have an amazing person helping create our wedding vision and bring it to life! She even went as far as having a custom wedding slideshow playing in our hotel room that had our pictures from our wedding website. The attention to detail Katherine gives is beyond what I could've ever imagined from anyone! Another person I want to mention was Rene at the 12 Tribes Restaurant. We met him during our pre-wedding trip and he handled everything with ease for our signature His/Her drinks and our food tasting samples. Right away his great hospitality and kind spirit could immediately be seen and felt. For our wedding in April 2026, Rene remembered us and gave nothing short of excellent service during our entire wedding week when we saw him or ate at the 12 Tribes restaurant. Rene was actually a server during our wedding and was making sure everything was going smoothly and made sure we felt at home. Two more people who are worth mentioning: Heriberto at the swim-up bar and Michele at the B Bar. Two awesome people who love what they do. They remembered us each time we came back to them. They remembered our drink orders and truly made us feel like family there. If you're thinking about a wedding at Casa Dorada, my advice to you is do it and you won't regret it. It truly felt like our home away from home. Muchas gracias Casa Dorada!!! We will definitely be back! This isn't goodbye, but see you soon!!

He decided he wouldn't take no for an answer after I told him I didn't want to be hit on or talk to him. He became increasingly aggressive. I tried to keep de-escalating. He told me that we WOULD get to know each other. He pushed his phone to me with his Instagram. It was full of pictures of naked women. I went to the host desk. I smiled, so I wouldn't upset him further. I kept smiling and told them I needed him to go away. He came up behind me. They called hotel security, who quickly came over. The man (Ryan) left with his bottle of wine. Security escorted me to my room. I saw him waving from the balcony of a room above mine, very near. I asked to be moved. I was frightened. They changed my room, but I did not sleep the entire night. The next morning, I spoke to the manager, Francisco Escuer. He told me: "I watched the tape, you were talking to the man and smiling. You smiled at the host stand. Why were you smiling if you were asking for help to get away from that guy?" I said, "Because he was coming after me, and that's what women do, so we don't aggravate men we know are dangerous." He said, "Well, his girlfriend didn't report anything." Again, I said: "Women don't report abusers because they are not believed, just like you are not believing me." Escuer also screamed at me and accused me of recording our conversation. He made physical gestures toward me during this. I told him I needed the tape, his information and the hotel's information. He refused to give me anything and yelled at me. I had to check out, pay for that stay, and another hotel. Escuer/the hotel are not safe for women.

The location is convenient, with a supermarket directly across the street. The property was nice and clean--perfect for a relaxing getaway that truly felt like a home away from home. The room had all the main kitchen necessities and more. We started in a garden-view room, and midweek we were able to upgrade to an ocean-view room, which was absolutely spectacular. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was incredibly calming. The resort also offers beach access, and guests can borrow beach chairs and other items to relax by the water. There are several pools on-site, including a swim-up bar, and they often have live music in the evenings, which added to the atmosphere. The only downside was the on-site restaurant--the food was mediocre, so we preferred cooking in the room or going out to eat. There is a BBQ area available for guests, which was a nice option. I would definitely come back, though I'm not a fan of being approached by timeshare representatives.

Love the friendly staff, especially activities director Jesus, who even remembered my daughter's name from a year ago! Bartenders and servers are all great, too. This year we were in a large one bedroom "garden view" villa in Building 1 (1104A) - which actually had a view of the pool and ocean. It was on the 1st floor, right next to the small pool, and just steps down to the ping pong table, which was certainly convenient, but not very private, and during theme nights, like the Mexican dancing, it was really loud to hear them pounding their feet on the wooden stage, but it was fine overall. Still love the activities - Aqua bingo, movie trivia, ping pong tournament. This year we rented a car, which we made use of almost every day for grocery runs, hikes and day trips. Planned to go to La Paz to swim with the whale sharks, but the dock was closed due to high winds, so we drove up to Todos Santos - our daughter went on a hike/run on the beautiful Cerro Punta Lobos trail, and we walked the peaceful beach near the boutique Hotel San Cristobal, then shopping, matcha lattes and taco stand in Todos Santos (couldn't get a last-minute reservation at Jazamango). Then on New Year's Eve, we did the Forcado 5K by the San Jose del Cabo Marina, and my older daughter came in 1st place of all the women! Hoping they do this again next year. Food and drinks are fresh and tasty - liked the eggs benedict, and nachos are always great. Favorite drinks are still the margaritas (traditional, mango and guava) and mojitos (with whatever berries are fresh). Did the timeshare presentation for some resort credit, and it was fine -- not too informative, not always accurate, but not too high pressure. Already booked our room for next year, and looking forward to it!

What has changed and will keep me from going there again is the pricing and the quality and quantity of food and drinks. We had seen this coming for awhile but we invited guests this year and they were a bit stunned. My first shock was the cocktail menu at which the first listed was about $35. Most were about $25. Secondly, the wine list was unapproachable. We like to try Mexican wines when in Mexico but the prices were outrageous given the lack of vintage dates or any explanation of what the wine was or why it might be worth $150++ per bottle. Needless to say, no wine ordered. Thirdly, we ordered calamari appetizer and it was essentially a half order for a full price. I don't think anyone was amazed at their entree which is sad given the cost. Cabo in general has gone a bit crazy price wise but the Hacienda Cocina takes the churro!!

PROS: - I think the biggest pro is that you get access to their sister properties and can use their amenities and eat at their restaurants as part of your all-inclusive package. They have free shuttles that go between each resort. So you're kinda getting access to multiple resorts for the price of one. - $30 shuttle per person one way to go to/from the airport. (Compared to the $130 private taxi) Pickup from the airport was super easy. Limited times to go to the airport from the resort. - huge property with many pools and different restaurant options to check out - all the workers are so helpful and friendly if you ever need anything - they have a place called The Afters if you're looking for a fun late night club/bar vibe to dance and drink with friends. It's probably the only kind of bar like this in any of their sister restaurants - Great drinks everywhere CONS: - Not a super walkable resort. Lots of hills. You have to rely on golf carts to get around. They usually come by quick but sometimes can take a while if it's busy. - the resort is a bit secluded and far from everything. 20min drive to the downtown area. Shuttle to go to the Rose resort comes once every hour and ends at 10pm. (Rose is right next to downtown) - I believe if you're in an Uber, they can drop you off inside the resort. But for security reasons, you cannot be picked up by an uber at the resort. You can only get picked up by a shuttle or private taxi - Can't go in the water at the beach because the waves are dangerous - Food is only okay. Seafood was really disappointing. Raw fish such as ceviche or sushi were really fishy tasting. - Food at many of the restaurants take a while to come out. Plan accordingly - Some simple items have an up charge, such as tea or fruit juices at The Market. - Some people are so strict as to how much food/drinks you can get per room. My friend was in a room himself and tried to get 2 drinks and a water and they wouldn't give him water because he maxed out at two drinks...

I was really looking forward to playing Solmar Golf Links, but the experience was frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. Given the premium pricing, I expected a well-managed and enjoyable round, but instead, I encountered poor organization, lackluster amenities, and unacceptable inconveniences. Tee Time Confusion & Poor Communication Our round started on the wrong foot due to last-minute changes to our tee time with little to no explanation. The miscommunication was incredibly frustrating, and since Solmar directs bookings through Golfscape, they need to take ownership of these issues instead of pushing blame elsewhere. Lack of Amenities For a high-end course, the lack of basic amenities was shocking. The welcome station was completely empty, and the comfort stations on holes 6 and 16 were closed, leaving us without expected refreshments or facilities. Small details like this make a big difference, and unfortunately, Solmar fell short. Slow Play & Poor Course Management The pace of play was painfully slow, with multiple groups stacked at tee boxes. There was no visible effort to manage pace or improve flow, making the round drag on unnecessarily. If a course is going to charge a premium, they should at least ensure a smooth experience. Unacceptable Golf Cart Malfunction By far, the worst part of the round was being forced to push a dead golf cart on hole 17. This is simply unacceptable for a course that markets itself as a top-tier destination. A high-end golf experience should not involve golfers physically pushing broken carts uphill while staff is nowhere to be found. Final Thoughts Solmar Golf Links has a great setting, but the experience does not match the hype or the cost. Poor management, lack of attention to detail, and unacceptable inconveniences made this a frustrating round. If they want to be considered a premier course, they need to improve their service, amenities, and overall player experience. Until then, I cannot recommend this course and would suggest looking at other options in the area. 1/5 - Not worth the hassle. read more

The rooms were very old and dated. The techno music loudly blasting at the lower pool eliminated any chance at relaxation. It wasn't spring break and the pool area had less than 10 people around it, yet the "party" music lasted for hours. The upper pool was much quieter but you do not have a great view of the ocean, which is the main reason we selected this hotel, and attempts to get any food or drink service from the bartender/server in El Trebol was futile. Again, there were only two other people in that location and after 20 minutes of waiting to be acknowledged, we left. Swimming in the ocean is not permitted, which is actually a good thing because the waves are so powerful they produce a thunder like echo and make it difficult to sleep. They only had three locations to eat. Tejaban is the only true restaurant on the premises (excellent service), El Trebol is a snack bar (terrible service), and the Sushi Factory. We booked an all-inclusive package (thinking it would be a good thing) and your food options are limited to these locations. Solmar's all-inclusive is not recognized at the Grand Solmar restaurants. Since the menu at Tejaban does not change AND you are limited to certain meals that are part of the all-inclusive offer, the meal options are limited and they get old fast. We hung out in the pool and getting drinks from the pool bartender was difficult. It was easy to tell that the mixed drinks and straight pours of tequila were watered down. I am in my 50's, tequila is my favorite drink, and I know what various brands taste like. I finally opted to just drink beer as that is harder to tamper with. Only two brands of beer are available - Tecate and something else. To top it off, because I had an all-inclusive stay, I only ate at these three locations and I personally experienced food poisoning that resulted in my having to go to the emergency room where tests proved that I had contracted Salmonella. Based on my overall experience, I will never stay here again. read more

Solmar was my first all-exclusive resort experience and it was AMAZING. Most of the staff were super friendly from the bartenders, to the hostess, to the cleaning ladies, etc. The food was so bomb.com, especially the sashimi, the norwegian salmon avocado toast for breakfast, and the smoothies. The swim up bar was so much fun and the place is a great photo-op. Your a walk away from the beach, although I would keep your sandals on... the sand is really rough. The resort also provides great entertainment during the evening for its guests. I will say this is not a party resort... the customers were on the older side so there were no ragers or super drunk kids throughout the day. This was actually a plus for us because it was nice to come back to a relaxing resort after partying in Cabo. My only gripe was that room service not included, which is a bummer. Also, there was a pricing hiccup during check in because I booked it through booking.com instead of directly with the resort. Essentially, the resort was asking us to pay more than what booking.com priced us, and it took over an hour to resolve. This was a very frustrating start to my sister's bachelorette weekend and they did not compensate us for this mess. read more
