didnt love it needs work

so I gave myself some time to reflect before posting this review. I do not like to be negative but feel a honest evaluation of the positives and negatives are warranted. First of all I am not a golfer and if I was I would probably feel different as the golf course I am told is top notch. Given that I am not I do not feel that the resort offers enough to warrant a return visit. The resort is in growth mode as they are embarking on a expansion now that the ownership has been settled within the family. It feels to me that it was neglected during the last few years as the ownership got sorted out. The resort has a main saltwater lagoon with kind of a lazy river pool going around it. Apparently people use the lagoon for paddleboarding beach volleyball etc but we never saw anyone in it,If you travel with kids you want to be here if you dont you will definitely not as it is very noisy all day with kids having fun and the units are right on top of the lazy river / pool area. We asked to be moved after two days and they were very accommodative in moving us to the beach / ocean facing which was far quieter. Be aware that you are limited to what the resort itself offers as it is very remote being way out of town and built onto a remote beach area. they offer a shuttle that will take you into town (25 minutes) every two hours. You cannot get a uber and are required to use their taxi service. Of course we were quoted a price by the transportation manager and the taxi person tried to rip us off (prefer using uber for this reason) Since you are captive to the resort you need to rely on their dining options and I this was our biggest disappointment. We had two good dining experiences in our entire week. Very interesting that the food was awful but the Service was excellent in all the restaurants. Main Pool service was horrible and we gave up using it. One nice restaurant on property open for breakfast and dinner and one sports bar open for dinner only. For lunch you had to dine around one of the pool restaurants that all come out of one kitchen was honestly awful. You could go up and sit in the deli and get something made to order and honestly it has the best food as they make it right there. I was there to just work in a warm location so we muddled through but if it was my one week vacation I think I would have been even more disappointed. I think it need a few years to get built out and completed by adding restaurants, getting the pickleball tennis courts rebuilt (they tore them down and have not replaced them yet). if you want remote beach time at the resort or golf this could meet your needs but we will be trying others ”

Wonderful Vacation

Resort is beautiful, 2 for 1 happy hour drinks are fun, and the golf is spectacular. We stayed mostly on the resort though we did venture to Nobu's for dinner and the PGA golf tournament for a day. Room was very spacious. We did endure the 2 hour time share presentation where they put the hard sell on you. Endure the sales pitch at your own risk”

Perfect Vacation Experience

We absolutely loved our stay at Grand Solmar! The facilities were fantastic, the rooms very comfortable, and the service outstanding. The food was delicious and fresh, whether at the pool bars or the restaurants. We will definitely be coming back!”

Peaceful Pacific Dunes

Another fabulous stay at the Dunes! The weather in mid July was absolutely perfecto. We took many walks on the pristine beach and lounged by the adult pool….did the stretch class 5 days and joined a couple water aerobics classes. We enjoyed the water slides and the view from our 5th floor room was absolutely gorgeous. The food was divine at Picaro and Anica and we enjoyed the pool restaurants and the entertainment at the Mexican fiesta night.”

Pacific dunes

Great family vacation. We enjoy the hotel, the food was amazing. ”

New property with great facilities ... a bit far from downtown Cabo, but nice.

This property is about 20 minutes north of downtown Cabo. But, the property is new and the staff is awesome. Loved our stay. ”

Solmar in May

Beautiful Resort very nice friendly staff rooms are fabulous. Pools are great food not so much when recommend the all inclusive. You have great kitchens in your room .Never go in May the wind were horrible and they said it’s always windy and you’re the Pacific side cold wind Husband said the golf course was beautiful, but it was windy so any other month but May”

Peaceful Pacific Dunes

This was our fourth trip to this resort and the service and dining were fabulous as always. Anica is amazing and Picaro is our favorite restaurant in Cabo. We enjoyed dining at the new Sports Bar that recently opened. This resort is perfectly peaceful with no stress on the facilities or struggles to secure a chaise lounge. It is a lovely change from the busy resorts on Medano and Solmar Beach. Our one bedroom suite was beautiful; we have stayed in 2 and 3 bedroom penthouses in the past. We love this high-end laid back resort and this visit did not disappoint. The new head bartender is truly fabulous and we loved the mixology class we took as part of the All Inclusive. We will be back!!”

Nice stay in Mexico

The room was very nice and overall the grounds are lovely and we had a nice trip. One thing to note is that you can not swim in ocean at the property I think because of either currents or sharks or both. So the good news is that there is a sister property in town and a free shuttle between them on a regular basis and you have access there. Also nice to go there as many more food options and shopping near other property as this one is a bit out of town etc. Overall a very nice trip and recommend but some things to know about ”
