"Let me preface this by saying: most of the 5 stars reviews you see online are actually about Grand Solmar, the 5 star hotel next door — not Solmar Resort, which is a completely different property and a 4 star hotel. The difference is night and day.

Staff
With the exception of two employees working at the pool during the day, the staff were absolutely incompetent and rude. The pool bar staff spent most of their time chatting with each other, and only when you placed an order (for example, a glass of champagne) would they slowly start to prepare it — often taking up to 30 minutes and requiring you to remind them multiple times. The front desk staff were also unfriendly and seemed to have little knowledge of their own work.

Food
The food was just “okay” — you won’t go hungry, but don’t expect anything particularly tasty or memorable. Oh, and you can always count on a random vegetable in your pasta. Zucchini? Sure. Bell pepper? Why not. A lonely broccoli floret wondering how it got there? Absolutely. It’s like a little surprise game at every meal.

Misleading website information
The photos on the official website are taken from the nearby 5 star hotel located on the same grounds, which is a completely different standard. Many of the listed amenities are not where you’d expect them to be. For example, the gym is actually in another building about 20 minutes away by shuttle, which stops running in the evening. There is no access to the gym or evening activities of the 5 star hotel — and the staff make this very clear in a rather rude manner.

Entertainment & atmosphere
All evening entertainment happens at the 5 star hotel next door. The 4 star section has no evening program at all. Even while walking on the beach, staff repeatedly and aggressively asked which hotel and room you were from.

Overall
For the price, it might not be the worst option, but don’t expect much. The service will likely spoil the overall experience — apart from two employees, the staff were rude and unprofessional."

"During a cruise stop in Cabo, we discovered Solmar Resort’s all-inclusive day pass, and it was the best decision we made! The price was very reasonable, and getting there was quick and convenient. The resort even arranged transportation back to the port, which made the whole experience stress-free.

From the moment we arrived, William at the front desk gave us such a warm welcome. He was professional, pleasant, and took the time to explain everything that was included in our pass—even the WiFi. His hospitality set the tone for a wonderful visit.

The resort itself is beautiful and spacious, with three pools to choose from. We spent most of our time at one with a swim-up bar, where Alias (our bartender) was so attentive and friendly. He kept the drinks flowing and made sure we were taken care of the entire time.

I was so impressed by how easy and enjoyable the whole day was. Between the service, the amenities, and the relaxing atmosphere, Solmar Resort exceeded expectations. I would definitely return here for a longer Cabo trip!"

"We stayed at Solmar Resort in Cabo San Lucas from June 30 to July 3 and had a great experience overall. The location is quiet and scenic, with ocean views and easy access to town. The staff was friendly, our room was clean and comfortable, even though the decor is a bit outdated. The pool area was a great spot to unwind. For the price, the room offered excellent value, especially given the location and amenities. While you can’t swim at the beach due to strong currents, the resort made up for it with a peaceful atmosphere and solid service. We'd happily stay here again for a relaxing Cabo getaway."
