This was the most incredible experiences I've had. The whole staff at the resort graced up with extremely, high level, comforting service. This place was a dream. Every detail was pure art. Every person was beauty. The view and environment was amazing but without that perfect staff this would have been not a good of an experience. Bless all of them. They were amazing and I can't wait to go back there every year. read more

Staying at the sister resort to the Grand Solmar. We stayed at the Grand last year, this year the Solmar. Very dissatisfied, next year we will be looking at a different area to stay. Too many things to post about . We loved the Grand Solmar last year, was not told of all the extras we would have to pay for to go next door and use their gym, get drinks and additional rules etc. which is we can't use the pools etc. Basically we are in a hotel which is Solmar. If we would have known we would have went elsewhere and be treated like we were at a resort for our anniversary. Thought we were in a resort, found out a hotel. read more

This resort was great! The food was all made to order and not buffet style. Everyone in my party was pleased with the food and drinks, they were all exceptional! The resort was always clean and the rooms were spacious. The security was impressive and made us feel safe - the staff would know who left the hotel and when and when we returned to the resort. The location was great, just a quick 5 minute was walk to marina. Javier and Todeo were fantastic servers!!! Only downfall was Maria at the front desk, she was the front desk hostess. We had found a captain with a boat outside of the solmar and when we asked her to help us dial his number she acted like she called while not dialing any numbers and told us she was unable to get ahold of anyone. The Solmar is great but the solmar sales location at the marina market will give you better discounts than Maria offers. read more

I just spent 5 days at the Solmar resort. I must say this was the worst vacation ever! I want my money and most of all time back. There was construction from sun up to sun down right outside my door! You can hear water running in the pipes every time someone flushed the toilet. The food at the Tejeban restaurant was horrible, especially the buffet dinner and breakfast. The only good thing was the El Tébol snack shop and the service staff at the resort were nice. This is not a place I would recommend! If you want to relax.... this is not the place. Sounds like a war zone! read more

We have been to this place before and had a great time. However this year not so much. Had the fishing trip planned an asked for box lunches. Told me they were $6 US dollars. Received our bill for $185. But that's ok they didn't charge us for food poison that 4 out of the 6 of us got from there restaurant on different occasions and no we didn't drink the water. Not only were we disappointed but also owners for years of this resort. I also understand construction after the hurricane but running dump trucks and backhoes around the pool and not even watering down the dust from 7 am-8 pm gets as old as swatting the flies all day. When questioned the manager he offered me some complimentary drinks for all inclusive stay. What a joke. DONT GO HERE !!!!! read more

Just returned from spending 4 nights at Solmar with all inclusive and it was incredible! The private beach is gorgeous. Special shout out to Frank and Octavio at the poolside bar for keeping the tequila flowing and always greeting us by name with a warm smile! The all around customer service at this place was super impressive. Grateful for 4 nights in paradise ! Be sure to check out the hike to Mt.Solmar located right next to the resort. The best 360 views! Look up information before you go. read more

So I read some reviews of this place before our trip and I was a little worried. People said that the service wasn't great and that it was too noisy. Well, here is my opinion, The food was amazing! It was not a buffet style (unless it's a themed night which you don't have to attend but why wouldn't you?!) everything was made to order and it was delicious! The Tejaban restaurant had a great menu and even when we were at the pool and wanted to order everything was great. The sushi, I was really hesitant about because that's just me. I only order Mexican food at Mexican restaurants and burgers from burger joints so ordering sushi in Mexico was weird for me. But, the sushi was sooo good! Hats off to all the chefs. The entertainment was great, on specific days they have a buffet style in accordance to the theme. Saturday was Mexican night and Tuesday was tropical night (the food wasn't the best for tropical night but the dessert was great and so was the performance so it made up for it.) The massages were pricy but great. But what do you expect of the price when you're on vacation? But my two hour massage was amazing and left me super relaxed. Gracias Verónica! I have to admit that I was concerned with our all inclusive package because someone wrote a review about how bad the all Inclusive service for drink was. Well, that was absolutely not the case for us. ALL of the staff (minus one that did not show his face but I will talk about that shortly) were incredible! They treated us like royalty and we were so sad to leave. Frank was a great bartender! A little too great haha, he definitely made sure we had a great time! Arturo was a great server/ waiter, he was extremely attentive. José Luis was also attentive and a great waiter. Wilfrido, a great server, helpful and gave us great advice on the hotspots in Cabo. Damian, what a great guy, introducing us to new food and being so attentive and sharing his stories with us. In my job it is extremely important for people to remember your name and these guys truly did their job and I hope Solmar praises them and knows what a valuable team they have. I know i missed some but there were so many but we want to say thank you to all of them! We will definitely return to Solmar! Solmar is actually the smaller resort of the three sister hotels but we were very happy with our room. It was literally our home away from home. We had two bathrooms and our bathtub in one bathroom could literally fit all four of us. Our view was incredible, our room was always cleaned up and the housekeeping staff came in and pulled out our sofa bed each night. The hotel was conveniently located near everything! It was a 5 min ride to downtown and like an 8 min drive to Medano beach. (All hotels will try to sell you their packages for adventures for cheaper or give them to you for free if you attend their timeshare presentation. I say avoid this at all cost. We paid $10 for a cab to Medano beach and pod $12 for a water taxi and $12 for a banana boat ride). Overall our stay and experience was a 5/5. The reason I gave it a 4/5 was because of Victor. I had found a great deal on a website and I received an email from the hotel stating that they were having trouble running my card. I called the hotel staff to find out what was going on and one of the ladies told me I had to go back to the website to re-enter my cc info so I did. I then receive an email stating that my card was entered successfully. The next morning I received an email stating that my room had been cancelled. I called the hotel and asked to speak to the manager. Victor gets on the line and tells me that there is nothing he can do to reinstate my price because it was a special promotion that there were having and proceeded to give me a price that was TRIPLE what we originally paid. I was extremely upset because I felt like he was trying to pull a fast one on me especially since we had already purchased our flights. He was inconsiderate and told me that I needed to calm down and if he were me he would handle it completely different because things happen and I should just get over it. Long story short after much back and forth and victor telling us he doesn't have the authority to change our rate he ended up charging us double instead of triple. When we checked in, Victor was nowhere to be found and no one even seemed to know who he was. Regardless, we weren't going to let him run in our vacation so thank you to everyone else who made us forget him and helped us enjoy ourselves and allowed us to create great memories. read more

Stayed at this resort for a weekend, Friday to Sunday, on our first visit to Cabo. Our impression was it was a very Mexican-looking suite with adorable touches like ceramic peppers hanging in the kitchenette. We were upgraded to a suite which had 2 enormous bathrooms, a large living area and dining area and a kitchenette. Two balconies. The tub/shower combo was so huge one half of the tub remained dry during the shower. Bedroom was comfy but bed was very tall (tough for a short person like me). Views from the room, which had two big balconies, were mostly beautiful except for overlooking the construction. Could see the ocean but were far enough from the main pool/hottub area that we didn't hear the talking noise. We could definitely hear the crashing of the waves; they are seriously loud, like thunder. The all-inclusive aspect was generous. The main restaurant was open from early morning til around 10 or 11 pm. A snack bar which served a generous menu was poolside at the small pool, and a sushi bar was near the large pool. Lots of the sushi is "Sushi for Beginners," with cream cheese in the rolls, but we found a couple of delicious rolls, asked for no cream cheese, and the servers kept them coming. Once our server discovered what we were drinking, she continued to deliver them all day (we tipped each round). Pool was simply too cold for me to go in, so the pool bar was not going to happen. Hottub was large and happening. Met a lot of cool people in that hottub. Everyone who worked at this resort was very friendly and helpful. I attempted to speak my elementary-Spanish to them, which they seemed to appreciate. The front desk at check in and check out was s l o w but this is Mexico, and I had nowhere else to be. A shuttle driver arranged through the hotel picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. That ride back was a little bit scary, but all part of the adventure. I would definitely return as I felt this was a truly relaxing, pleasant, beautiful place to spend a few days for a very reasonable price. read more

Soooo..... Bad!! I'm going to start by saying the restaurant and pool stuff plus restaurant food were great especially Nefi by the poolside. The construction was not their fault it was due to the Grand Solmar next-door, but still so bad jackhammer start at 8 AM.... The rooms are clean but super dated we had no hot water the whole time we were there & they never fixed it. The hotel manger was very unaccommodating the only think she would do is discount or next stay... THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER STAY HERE AGAIN!!!! read more

Food was pretty good. Service was great for the most part as far as kindness, but a little on the slow side. We had a pretty great time but not being able to swim on the beach kinda sucked and we didn't know ahead of time. And they didn't offer a shuttle to the beach that was "swimmable either". We typically prefer more updated rooms and these are waaay outdated but nothing too great. They have some fun activities like one night was bonfire night and they have a little show with some games they out on which was cool. As far as a complaints, the concierge called our room and woke us up saying we would get free breakfast at the grand solmar and a complimentary snorkeling session then we go down to claim it and she says "but you have to attend this 90 minute time share presentation" we said we aren't going to be interested in a time share and she basically said "ok have a good day" so we didn't get anything hah kinda awkward and lame but we still had fun. Also they make check in way too late and check out way too early. Our shuttle to go back to airport wouldn't arrive until 1:30 and we have to check out at 11 and they literally CUT OFF our all inclusive wrist bands and said "enjoy resort until your shuttle arrives" after our bracelets were gone not one employee even acknowledged us so it was sorta shitty end to a nice trip. My boyfriend and I are pretty low maintenance people so we still had a good time but not 5 stars. We will go for a nicer resort next time read more

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and were extremely pleased with everything from the welcoming staff, to the accommodations, to help with tourist questions, quality of food, and overall extremely polite and helpful staff! We were welcomed by Ada at the front desk who was so sweet and kind. We spent most of our breakfasts and lunches in the on site restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was beyond our expectations. We made lots of trips to the upper bar and befriended your very hard working bartender Jose luis, who was amazing! He Welcomed us back each day and remembered our names and preferred drink! Such a nice touch! Our evenings were mostly spent on the beach a short distance from our room, followed by more bar visits at the lower pool, where Octavio, King, and Arturo made us feel right at home!! This place was a perfect relaxing getaway, and we had an amazing time! read more

I want to start out by saying everyone at this resort was so helpful and attentive. I came to this resort and did the all inclusive package, I would definitely recommend it. We did a girls trip and this place did not let us down. Beautiful views of the ocean, nice pool, and the food was great too! Manny, Rogelio, Arturo, and Octavio catered to our every need through out our 5 day stay. We all had so much fun, and unlimited mimosas didn't hurt either! read more

The staff at Solmar are so friendly and helpful. Only complaint is the pressure sales to tour the over price sister resort next door, "Grande Sol". Grande Sol is an "over the top" luxury resort- with lots of attitude-beautiful but not our style. We were misled to make a reservation at their luxury restaurant, Don Luis, and were told that the entrees started at $20. Nothing on the menu under $45. He just lied to us to get us inside thinking we would be to embarrassed to leave. We did complain and they finally brought out their lunch menu and accommodated us ...so all was well. That experience made us not show up for the high pressure tour/sales pitch to buy. They were going to give us free $150 massage to take the tour...but we found an excellent massage at Lolo Massage in the marina. Check them out on Yelp. We also found good water taxis to take us to the famous Arches on the south point of the Baja for $10 a person. The tour promoter makes you think they are giving you such a great deal on these activities but they are making a killing $$$ on these services Solmar is the older of their resorts and was immaculate and had the best staff, always happy to see you and help in any way. Their restaurant was excellent and since we don't eat huge portions or drink to excess we didn't get the all-inclusive and saved 50% . Solmar was awesome and worth the price. The only complaint was the unstable hot/cold water in the shower....which seems to be a Mexican Hotel thing. Thick towels, clean pool...but you can't swim in the ocean because of serious rip currents. But the pool overlooked the ocean and that was all we needed. Soooo much quieter on this beach than the public beaches over the hill. Only a 10 minute walk to the marina, shops, water activities. Would recommend Solmar...but avoid the high pressure sales for Gran Sol next door!!! read more

How do I begin, this resort is a disappointment. First off the staff is never letting you enjoy your stay, constantly checking to make sure you don't have any visitors in your room otherwise they will charge you for their short visit. And I mean VISIT not stay. Wifi must be paid for, and only available for 2 occupants at a time. The Wifi also doesn't work most of the time and when you call to find a solution they tell you, "It works when it works." There is also a curfew for the pool area.......SERIOUSLY??? The beach water is off limits and to top it off the other resort (Gran Solmar)shares the beach area. If you walk on the beach area in front of the other resort (which does not belong to Gran Solmar or Solmar Resort), the security are called in and you are asked to leave. Overall it was an overwhelming experience. I hope that no one else experiences this misleading uncomfortable experience and has a great time somewhere else. read more

sol mar cabo is disgusting. i hated cabo the minute we got off the plane. mis-led by orbitz into an all exclusive. the food was miserable. service sucked! we walked away from a dinner and returned 2 dinners uneaten. they know not how to make drinks or choose to come up with their own concoction for making them. why with all the drinking we did, we never fot a buzz!?! they use the cheapest liquor possible! there was construction going on unknown to us before booking- unbelievable! everyone has their hand out "begging" to sell you trinkets and time share in this hell hole of a resort. do not go their, do not eat there in the greasy smelling dining room, do not let them book excursions for you, do not eat the sushi, do not eat the tuna fish, do not eat the chicken. i have been home for 3 days and i'm still suffering with stomach pains, diarrhea and nightmares to boot. i am so angry at them! i will never go to another mexico resort after this fiasco. it is a low life, low rent "resort". hey sol mar....if you refunded us in full it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy us. there are no plush beaches. a few in the marina- scummy- overcrowded with people; kids basically. pelican beach??? sickening! we witnessed a "swimmer" after defecating in her bathing suit- pulled down her bottom and washed it into the water. i had enough! unsanitary? stay off the baja sightsee tours. the place is one big grab to sell time shares to live in cabo hell! rating???? are you kidding me? zero stars! i "had" to reply with at least 1 star. the place shoud be inspected and closed down by the mexican health authority. yeah right...... excuse me, i'm having another montezuma attack more like food poisoning! i'm sick again.....bastards! read more

We stayed here for four nights and had an amazing time! This is such a peaceful resort, and our room had spectacular views of the ocean and pool. The food was excellent, and the wait staff and resort staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. All of the grounds are extremely clean. 5 minute walk to the boardwalk. Poolside bar and swim up bar in another pool. we especially enjoyed Jose Luis and Jose No. 2 at the poolside restaurant/bar! We will definitely be back! read more

Worst birthday getaway....the food was horrible...they had us in the 3rd floor with no elevator...construction outside our door and customer service was lacking...will never go back read more

We just got back from a vacation here and I could wait to write my review based on the fact that excellent reviews made us pic this resort. We have been to Cabo 3 times and this was our least favorite resort. I will say I do wish something's were mentioned in the other reviews I read which would have saved me a headache. Here the deal.. I have 2 small kids so when me and the old ball and chain get away it's a great time no matter what! That being said for the price you'll pay for this resort you would stay at others MUCH nicer, so in essence you will get more bang for your buck else where. They have only 1 "restaurant" which serves cafeteria type food it wasn't impressive. Each morning they had the same buffet which was disappointing. They do have a sushi kiosk and bar/snack kiosk which were fine. The resort itself is in an excellent location but resort it's is comparable to a LaQuinta. The 2 pools were ok, the hot tub had no bubbles which lets be honest w/out the bubbles it's just a warm bath. A thing to note room service is not covered in the all inclusive which it is at the 3 other resort we stayed at in Cabo. They don't have any activities or a night club like other resorts and they charge $17 a day for wifi... I'm not joking!! The worst part about our trip was the constant noise from construction being done at the resort attached to Solmar (Grand Solmar)..! All that said this resort is ok but for the price you could stay elsewhere and get a whole lot more. read more

First of all if I could give a zero star I would. I go to Cabo every year and usually there are 10 to 15 of us that go together and we try different resorts each year. That being said, we decided to try this one, big mistake do not stay here. The customer service is terrible; if you are not interested in buying a time share they really have no need for you. Not only could we not swim in the ocean nearby, the whole reason I come to Cabo because it's too dangerous. Maybe you should state that on your website, they have no activities going on during the day what so ever, if I wanted to seat by the pool and do nothing I can do that in California, thank you in my own back yard. Everything shuts down by 10:00pm, or I should say the one restaurant and a very small swim up bar. The last resort I stayed at had 3 restaurants to choose from in addition to the main restaurant. Speaking off the restaurant staff, I had a conversation/disagreement with one of the managers, me and my friend where hungry after spending the day in downtown Cabo and it was around 15 minutes till 10:00, restaurant should be open so walked in and asked if we can get something to eat, the manager said we are closing but if you hurry I will do it for you this one time but not again. I said excuse me do you treat all your guest like this, I told her you're not doing me any favors, I can gladly go elsewhere, needless to say she just stayed away from me and sent her staff over to serve us. Talking about the food, it was a limited menu and not very good, it lack taste and everything had a blob of beans with a tortilla chip on it and a blob of rice and I do mean blob. Let's talk about the service in the kitchen, not once in the 4 days I was there did they get my order right, I did not ask for anything special, I order straight off the menu but because the manager lacks organizations skills nothing from the kitchen was correct, our party would order at the same time and we would get it in chucks, some never even got their orders. I've never been so disappointed in my life and I'm an easy going person but this place is just awful. My husband and I actually wanted to leave and where willing to lose the money we already paid and go somewhere else but because there were several of us we stayed but will never come back to this resort. I checked out on August 3, 2015 and could not been happier to come home and usually I do not want my vacation to end. I felt bad because we had friends that this was there first time to Cabo and they stayed here when they found out that we would be staying here and to have their first time in Cabo like this is very disappointing. read more

The resort was beautiful... But the marketing company/people there not so much! Horrrrible experience!! My husband and I were staying for our honeymoon at the fiesta Americana and just needed a ride from the airport to our resort.. And right after getting off our flight we were hounded by the taxi company from this solmar resort. And bombarded with them trying to make a deal with us.. Ignorant us fell for their offer and promised to go on a time share presentation tour at their resort the next day. The tour was fine up until it was time to say yes or no to the deal. ONLY BECAUSE we left our real wedding rings at home and had these plain gold bands on.. And I didn't bring my phone because I didn't want to lose it..it wasn't enough to proof to prove that we were married... So they wanted to cancel all the deals we were given. And on top of that they wanted us to right on the paper that we weren't married so we can forfeit the deals. We were absolutely pissed. I started crying because I was upset on how they were so rude and accusing us of not being married.. And my husband was pissed and refused to write that down. He asked for our money back and luckily after all the fuss they gave it back. But that was probably the worst experience ever!!!! read more

My husband and I spent September 10th-12th at the Solmar Resort. We had the All Inclusive plan so ALL of our meals were eaten at their restaurant/dining locations. Two days after our return home I became violently ill and had to go to the emergency room, which will be a huge added expense to our trip. ER took samples which take three (3!) days before results are available - they came back positive for Salmonella. The ER automatically contacted the Center for Disease Control too who called our home and, after discussing when/where meals were consumed (only one other meal eaten that could not cause Salmonella), and the timeline for symptoms to develop, they concluded that the Salmonella had to originate from Solmar. In the US they normally do not offer antibiotics for Salmonella - you have to ride it out. So, if round-the-clock-relentless severe abdominal cramping, diarrhea, fever, joint pain, worse than any flu symptoms sounds fun to you, try staying at Solmar. As a side note, their All Inclusive is not truly AI. It was interesting to note that their website room rate indicates free chips, salsa and beer in the room at arrival - two beers/two sodas were provided, but no chips or salsa. I asked the bellboy about them and he said chips are only offered at Grand Solmar. Anything positive I might have had to report about rooms, location and staff is a distant memory due to this experience. Solmar had been recommended to us by my sister and now neither of our families will recommend it to anyone. We will not return even if they paid us. read more

When we made the reservation they did not disclose that the place was in the middle of a huge construction program and that both of the beach pools and all of the outside bars were closed. Went to the indoor bar three times and no one was there to serve me. When I was served the fourth time, afterwards, no one was there to pay the check. Tried to workout at their gym facility on the weekend before dinner and was told it closed at 3pm. read more

DO NOT STAY AT SOLMAR! It is an absolute joke! We booked the resort in January for a 4 night 5 day stay (Fri-Tues) in May for a bachelorette party with 5 girls. When we arrived after a cross continental flight that took over 18 hours, we were told that there was a "pipe that burst" requiring us to move to a resort "20 minutes away." When concerned about the safety and legitimacy of the resort, we were told that we could either go there or "sleep on the streets." Reluctantly we agreed to move. The resort was in fact 45 minutes away passing though the most dilapidated parts of town. This resort was so secluded that there was nothing except desert surrounding us. While the resort itself was beautiful, this was an obvious SCAM to promote the new time share development. We had to cancel ALL of our excursions because we were so far away that the original hotel pick up that we had with the offers did not apply. We were literally stranded. After many complaints to the management, we were finally allowed to move back to Solmar where we were then told that we were actually moved to the other resort due to being over booked. We had originally booked a two bed room but were given a one king bed plus pull out. The room was very dirty and the room service was ridiculous. The staff here only LIES. We were told that we would have transportation to the airport but the day of, three hours before our flight, we were charged $200 for what was supposed to be a $21 per person ride as advertised by their staff. This trip was the most stressful trip of our lives. We are NEVER going back to Cabo EVER again. DO NOT BOTHER STAYING AT THE SISTER HOTELS EITHER. read more

Worst possible hotel stay ever. Came here for my sisters bachelorette with a group of 12 girls and ended up regretting it the moment we walked into the "lobby" to check in. We were never informed of where the restaurants are or the hours of operation etc. We basically had to figure everything out ourselves. Our rooms were facing the construction and could hear it every morning! Food is bad, service even worse! We had the hardest time getting drinks at the pool bar, no one seemed to be working! We come to Mexico a lot, but we will definitely never be coming back to this hotel again! read more

I never got a chance to stay at the hotel due to the fact my flight and everything was cancelled cause of a huge hurricane. I contacted the 3rd party website to cancel the hotel. They then said they were experiencing high call volume due to peoples trips be cancel and will be notified of email when they cancel my hotel. A couple weeks go by and I received two charges on my cc from the hotel. I called and wanted to figure out why I was charged. They said that cause I didn't show up I explain the situation and how my birthday trip was cancelled cause of their hurricane. They did not have any sympathy at all. I explain that it was not my fault and completely out of my hands that t trip was cancelled my flight was cancelled of a natural occurrence. After speaking to one rep they transfer me to a manager which was worse. She try to sell me on getting a deal with them. I was like are you kidding me I'm not coming to Cuba after you people have treated me with poor customer service. It was like speaking to a broken record, all she said was I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. At the end of the conversation she was like can you email me. I gave them one last chance to refund me the funds and non response back. I'm writing this review on how poor their customer service is and how extremely upset that I was being charged for mother natures doing. I called my bank and the charges are being disputed. read more

Just returned from a 5 night stay at the original (older) Solmar at Lands End. We purchased an all-inclusive package through Booking.com. Our mantra for the week: kinda old is kinda nice. The resort is older, but the rooms are spacious. We visited the other Solmar properties including Playa Grande and the adjacent Grand Solmar. If you want less crowds and far better service, Solmar is your place. If you want fancier pools and newer rooms, choose the others. If you want a low-key experience, attentive service, no lines or waiting, this is your place. Overall, the food, drink and service in the all inclusive package was fantastic. Wife and two very picky teenager daughters concur. I can't see how another reviewer could bash the food - from quality to presentation - it was a pleasant surprise. The sushi bar (included in the all inclusive) was very high quality. Overall, the resort is costly if you are not paying via all-inclusive, but above average (we tipped a minimum of 20% for each meal). Everything is itemized and you are presented the total cost in both MXP and USD. We had the same waiter for the entire week (Heriberto); he couldn't have been nicer, friendlier and more accommodating. Seriously...this made the trip fantastic and memorable. He was fantastic in all definitions - brought us a fresh drink at the right time - many times without having to even order! But, 98% of the staff were just as service oriented - hostess, valet (we rented a car - valet service was prompt and efficient). In typical Mexico fashion, the activities discounts were contingent on a 90 minute timeshare presentation (my wife and I did it - it was 3 hours, but included a very nice breakfast). The activities we participated in (parasailing, snorkeling, etc.) were attractively discounted. My only issues have to do with the age and condition of the rooms, and the fact that while we took advantage of access to the adjacent Playa Grande resort, we were not allowed to use the pool facilities at Grand Solmar. in fact, my kids were taking pictures from the steps of the infinity pool when were were politely asked to leave the pool area. Not necessary in my view, and this left a bad taste of the Grand Solmar for us. Our room was nice and overlooked the pool area. The windows shook, rattled and rolled every night (from the waves crashing onto the shore). As was indicated in a prior YELP review, we too had very small gnats/ants around the sink in the bathroom, and on the morning we checked out....two unexpected visitors in our room - very large roaches. We shook it off - it's Mexico and the hotel and property is right smack dab in the middle of the desert. Maid service was below average. Floors were not swept and cobwebs (over the refrigerator) stayed from check in until check out (they failed this test). If you want a 5 star experience and plan to pay 5 star prices, go elsewhere. But, if you want to take advantage of an excellent all inclusive package at a very reasonable price, this is your place. read more
