Solmar Resort

We absolutely loved this place! It is older and the rooms are not updated, but they are very clean and we don’t really mind getting a better price for an outdated decor. We had 3 balconies that over looked the resort, pools and beach Wow amazing! We saw whales out in the ocean none stop sitting on our balcony. You can walk down to the beach and watch them for hours. The beach area is beautiful and very quiet. You do not get harassed by locals selling new things the most beautiful sunset down there! The staff was over the top kind, friendly, welcoming! The were always cleaning and maintaining the grounds! The pools were chilly but the hot tub was nice and hot! We would definitely come back.

Clean rooms and very friendly staff. Quiet resort for the most part guest wise. Nice easy walk into the marina and also to the beach. Lovely for whale watching and sunsets. ||Unfortunately it seemed understaffed and not all onsite restaurants running at full capacity (including a lack of pool service at the upper pool some days). Also with that being said the food was okay. WAY overpriced if you don’t have the all inclusive package (we like to be able to eat on and off site while visiting). American breakfast was included daily as well and was okay most days. Nice views of the water from the restaurant.

Tried the all-inclusive day pass off of a cruise ship. The facility was clean (some construction was ongoing during daytime hours), amenities were as advertised, and service was very good. The resort itself is apparently one of the older ones in Cabo, and we spoke to a couple that stays for 4-5 weeks/year and love it. The drinks were good, if fairly weak - the mango margarita with spiced salt rim was tasty. Food was average to good - we ordered from the restaurant menu and ate by the pool. You'll only get 2 meals there at most if you're on a cruise ship, so you'll need to be hungry and thirsty to fully get your money's worth, but it was definitely a nice place to spend a day if you enjoy resorts, and easily walkable from the marina.

This was a fun place and a good location to walk to many other areas. We loved they had a kid depth pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food at all the on site restaurants was great. Rooms were older, but spacious and had everything needed and fairly well kept. We also loved the activities available throughout the day with Luis - he was lovely. |The only downside is that you can't go in the ocean on this side which made the nice beach area less useful. All in all, would absolutely go again.

Beautiful resort. Very clean and well maintained. Wonderful and attentive staff. Clean and luxurious pools and jacuzzi. Great location, minutes to walk to the marina. Right on the beach and amazing sunsets. The Pacific is too dangerous to swim in but a swimmable beach is in walking distance.

A resort should be an oasis from all the hustle on the street, especially in a highly touristed location like Cabo San Lucas. But this resort WAS the hustle.||Pros: |- Great location, easy walk to town and direct beach access. |- Quiet.|- Outdated but clean room and comfortable bed.||Cons:|- Accosted immediately upon check-in for activity sign-ups and timeshare presentations. Timeshare sales staff continued to harass us throughout our stay. They even chased us down the driveway as we left for a hike one morning to ask if we were on our way to a timeshare presentation at another location. ||- Food was overpriced (we were not all-inclusive) and underdelivered. First dinner I received an undercooked baked potato that was hard in the middle. Server offered to replace it and came back with a plate of vegetables instead. Night two at the restaurant and my husband orders a chicken fettuccine with Alfredo sauce. It is served with no chicken. My dish was cold, as was that of a guest on a neighbouring table who sent hers back to be heated. ||- First morning, we were called incessantly in our room by bar staff at the neighboring Grand Solmar resort about an unpaid bill from the day before we even arrived. Despite me explaining several times we had not even been in Cabo San Lucas at the time of the incident, they insisted on meeting at reception for me to look at the signature in the bill. All they had to do was check with hotel staff to see who was staying in that room on that date but instead we were inconvenienced.||- Minutes later, housekeeping knocked on our door and asked if they could clean the room. I explained we would be leaving shortly. I asked if we may have the two bottles of water we were entitled to, then instead of later. The staff member responded “why?” with great attitude. I explained I wasn't asking for free/extra water, just to have it now instead of later. Again she gave me attitude and I gave up. ||- Upon leaving we learnt our Uber was not allowed to come up the driveway to the front door for pick-up (but they allowed it upon arrival). Every other type of private driver is permitted. This will be explained as a security proceedure, but it's a money grab for airport transfers.||This is not the resort you are looking for.

Suzana was the best housekeeper! She made sure we had everything we needed even the day my mom was sick and we had the do not disturb sign up. Thank you Suzy! We will be back next year. Save that corner room for us! Gerardo and Arturo did a great job at the pool. And we enjoyed going to the upper bar to visit with Daniel, tavo, Irving and Berney.

The resort has a lot of charm, but it's showing its age. While the photos on the website are accurate, they are outdated, reflecting the last major update from many years ago. The pools and spa close at 8PM and weren’t heated, which was a letdown. The food was tasty, but service was slow. On the plus side, the location is fantastic—close to the bay and near most major activities, which made it very convenient. Overall, it has potential, but could really benefit from some updates and improvements.
