  A Fabulous Vacation

  We had a wonderful experience during our time at Solmar Resort. The entire staff were very kind and welcoming. We also enjoyed our time at the swim-up bar. Laylani always kept us entertained with games and even had an aquatic class! Jorge and Eric were very attentive and took care of our drinks and food at the bar. The El Tejaban Restaurant always provided excellent meals, morning, noon and night! The presentation of how they delivered their entrees were spectacular! I highly recommend Solmar Resort. We were always treated like family. Our experience was one of a kind!!🩵

  Wonderful day of relaxing, laughing, & having fun!

  While on a cruise we booked the “resort for a day” at the Solmar and had a wonderful time. It was all inclusive so we spent the day lounging in & by the pool and having drinks and eating at the in-pool bar! Laylani (sp?) was a fun activity director! We played bingo at the pool bar and did in-water aerobics with her. She was a fun addition to the day and everyone was laughing and having a good time. We will definitely be returning next time we’re in Cabo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Hard Pass

  I really liked the housekeeper and a couple of the guys at the guardhouse. The resort overall is cute, but I wasn't impressed with the stay. It's your average all-inclusive for people who enjoy staying on property the whole time, sipping watered-down beverages by the pool. We did not eat a single meal at the hotel, so I cannot comment on the food. The spa was good, as we got beachside massages. Cabo itself is gorgeous and the locals away from the touristy resorts are wonderfully warm and welcoming. There's a lot to explore in Cabo and this all-inclusive, which we thought would have a better vibe being the smaller of the sister properties was not a great base. Upper management is dismissive. An assistant manager tried to pass himself off as the GM and when I wrote directly to the GM, I didn't even get a response. Hard pass. If you're going for the all-inclusive type thing, or to party, I'm sure you can do better. If you're expecting toned-down luxury with a chill vibe, definitely look elsewhere. The pool area is blaring music from sunrise to sunset, even when no one is at the pool. Other times it's full of drunks. The Solmar also tries to create a hierarchy between the Solmar and the adjacent Grand Solmar, but it's the same drunks enjoying being obnoxious and disrespectful of Mexico and Mexicans, who possibly just paid more for their rooms.

  Solmar Resort 4 ⭐️ — The Budget Cousin You Didn’t Mean to Book

  Let’s get one thing out of the way right now: most of the glowing 5 stars reviews you see online are for Grand Solmar, the fancy 5 star property next door. This review is about Solmar Resort — the 4 star version. Think of it as the “budget cousin” at the family reunion. Staff Apart from two absolute gems working at the pool during the day, the rest of the staff ranged from uninterested to downright rude. The pool bar team? They’re basically on their own vacation — chatting, laughing, and occasionally (if you’re lucky) acknowledging your existence. A glass of champagne takes 30 minutes, plus a couple of reminders, and by the time it arrives you’re questioning if you even still want it. The front desk staff? Let’s just say if there were a competition for unfriendliness and lack of basic knowledge about their own hotel, they’d medal. Food The food is fine. Not good, not bad — just fine. You won’t starve, but you also won’t be rushing to Instagram your meals. Oh, and be prepared for the Solmar Surprise: a random vegetable in your pasta every single time. Zucchini? Sure. Bell pepper? Why not. That one lonely broccoli floret wondering how it got there? Absolutely. It’s like the chef spins a “mystery veggie” wheel before plating. The Website Fairy Tale The photos online? Yeah… those are from the 5 star hotel next door. Many “amenities” listed on their site are either in a completely different building or another hotel entirely. Want the gym? Hope you enjoy shuttle rides — it’s 20 minutes away and the bus stops in the evening. Access to the fancy 5 star facilities next door? Forget it. Ask nicely, and you’ll get a rude “no.” Ask rudely, and… still “no,” but with more attitude. Entertainment & Atmosphere All the action happens at Grand Solmar. At the 4 star resort? Evenings are as lively as a library at closing time. And if you’re walking on the beach, be ready for security to aggressively quiz you like you’re sneaking into a VIP section. Bottom Line If your expectations are realistic and your patience is high, you might find it worth the price. But if you’re expecting great service, smooth operations, or anything resembling a 5 star experience — wrong hotel.

  Solmar Resport

  We really enjoyed our stay at the old Solmar resort. The staff was very friendly courteous and responsive. We appreciated the service of Arturo, Alexis and Eric at the swim up bar! Jennifer the activities director was great she had a great personality and was fun. The manager Carlos helped us deal with an unfortunate situation. She listened to our concern and then provided us with a great solution, while never making us feel like we were the problem!
