This review is just for El Tejaban restaurant at Solmar. We were staying at Grand Solmar, and were so pleased to find El Tejaban. We really liked the menu, and the restaurant was so nice - open doors to the ocean and sunset views, lovely vibe, and wonderful service from the team. They were so kind with our limited Spanish. Reyna was so warm and wonderful, and our food was so good, that we cancelled reservations at a different restaurant and went back again the next evening so we could sit at her table. And that was so delicious that we came back the next day for breakfast. Everything was plated beautifully, and very tasty. We were able to charge our meals to our room in Grand Solmar or pay with a card.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Solmar Resort and had a wonderful time. Although the room was a bit outdated, I know they intend to eventually put their money back into renovations over time since its primo location. Its only a 10-15 minute walk to the marina and was safe enough for my wife and I to do at night. The restaurants had tasty food. Shoutout to Arturo & Jose Luis at Tejaban who were amazing servers and worked with us practicing our español! They were true gentlemen and fun guys. Also, shoutout to Gerrardo along with the rest of the pool waiters / bartenders. They worked their butt's off making sure everyone had there drinks/food. Thank you guys! The live music was great at Tejeban too which we danced to along with other vacationers having fun. When booking, we went with the Whale watching package (Shoutout to Jerry, our boat guide, who was awesome! Also, heads up, there is no bathroom on the boat but its got a dual engine hemi to make up for it so you will definitely cruise fast and get to more locations where the whales are). We also went with the SOULMATE massage package at Grand Solmar's Lands end in the beach cabana (OMG, my wife and I thought it was the best massage of our lives!! Shoutout to Brenda and Itzelda! Your hands are magic, the sound of the ocean was bliss, and the chocolate covered strawberries with champagne was icing on the cake.) All-in-all great stay and made for great stories and memories. My wife and I would definitely come back here.

We have been to Solmar Resort 15 times, and each time it is the best vacation ever. Solmar Resort is the oldest resort on the Pacific side of Cabo, since it is on the Pacific side the ocean is too dangerous for swimming, but Medano Beach is close by. The resort reminds us of old Mexico it is not the glitz and glamour of the other Cabo mega resorts. It is old, small, quiet and very intimate. A fifteen-minute walk will get you to the hustle and bustle of the marina with its many restaurants and night clubs. The beach is private so no vendors. The Resort is beautifully maintained and very clean. The Staff is the same year after year, all very professional, friendly, attentive and ready to go the extra mile to make your vacation special. Choose All Inclusive and sit back and relax; no shopping, no cooking and no dirty dishes; couple that with an excellent, attentive and very friendly staff, and it is a true vacation. No buffets, order off a menu and be wowed with good food artfully presented by Chefs Miguel, Pako and Efren; and efficiently served by Jose Luis, Salvador, Susana, Margarita and Manny. Watch the sunset while enjoying a cocktail made by Octavio, Alexis or Eric, or served poolside by Arturo or Gerardo. Walk the grounds beautifully landscaped and maintained by Irma and Lorena. Watch in amazement how Armando, Israel, Luis and Manny maintain the property (no OSHA in Mexico). Enjoy fresh sheets and towels every day and the most comfortable bed ever and a room cleaned by the excellent housekeeping staff-Patricia. The general housekeeping staff that cleans the public areas of the resort is always humming while working-Villaeldo, Veronica. Front Office staff are willing to help with any issue (of which we have never had any)- Carlos, Elena, Elsa, and Michael. And the bell boys are always ready for a fun conversation- Juan, Marco, Ivan and Luis. The small intimate Mexican feel, the location, the cleanliness and the Staff are what keep us coming back year after year. All of the Staff at the resort make it such a special place, they are all so friendly and so happy and so willing to make your vacation the best ever.

Predatory time share behavior. In light of the February unrest in Mexico & a friends medical condition (name not on the reservation) the management was aggressive and rude and unbending when a cancellation for a reservation 72 hours out was requested. The hotel management demanded HIPA protected medical records in order to refund the reservation. All of this occurred 1 week after the military/cartel clash in Mexico. No amends were given. Typical greedy timeshare property, dishonest, rude & predatory. I didn't have the opportunity to stay here, but with the attitude of management & interactions with reservations and aggressive rude employees, I certainly won't miss it. Shame, as it looks lovely. Just goes to show how far customer service and satisfaction can take you. I work in the travel aviation industry & will wholeheartedly tell all of my customers about this experience. Train your people, show some grace & be kind Solmar SJD.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The one bedroom was surprisingly large and we were thrilled that it had two full bathrooms and two patios facing the pool area and ocean. We were in 2211--great location. The pools were refreshing, the breakfast was convenient and delicious (worth paying for ahead of time), and the beach was great for whale watching and walking (but no swimming). The resort is walkable to the marina. We enjoyed the stretching class and the cornhole game. The poolside drinks were fairly watered down, and the fries were just ok, but we enjoyed the sushi. Nice, quiet location away from the craziness of downtown. Tip--have dinner at La Roca in Grand Solmar next door. You won't regret it.
