TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

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.

Wonderful experience at Solmar! Pool staff (Omar & Roman) were great: very attentive and prompt with service. The handsome restaurant/bar manager (Rouben Corona) was exceptional, frequently walking around the pool and restaurant asking guests if they needed anything and overseeing all the services of the staff. Dinner at the grill was fantastic. It is so refreshing to see employees enjoying themselves in their work. Servers Berny, Daniel and bartender Christopher were friendly and inviting. Great time at this resort. Give the staff a solid 5 star rating.

I booked on line and arrived and checked in and paid, only to be told after I paid that they didn’t have any rooms available and I would have to stay at the resort next door Playa Grande. Nothing against that resort but I was checking in tomorrow at Grand Solmar Lands End and I definitely didn’t want to stay there. I tried to tell them that, and their manager Carlos came up to us, grabbed our luggage and was proceeding to put it on the shuttle,( he also said if you don’t like it write a review on trip advisor and so here I am) I said NO and we went next door to Grand Solmar and after sometime they gave me some what of a decent rate and gave me credit for what I paid Solmar, so a big thank you to Omar!
