The staff was very rude. Then, when we got to the room it was dirty and had cockroaches in it. There was noisy onsite construction going on that was not disclosed. I will never, ever recommend Solmar to anyone ever.
Pros: Nothing!
Cons: The rooms were dirty with cockroaches, the staff was rude and the pool was very far from the room. There was noisy onsite construction.

Pros: The food was amazing and location was great for going to town. Room was clean and large with a great view.
Cons: The staff at the pools and bars were not very attentive. Had to wait half an hour for a drink! Getting bottled water was also an issue, took two or three requests to get it. Was not told there would be construction and it was very loud for our whole stay.

Pros: The staff was amazing and very helpful. Beautiful views and very clean rooms
Cons: It would have been good to know ahead of time that this resort was located on a part of the beach that you can not swim in but it was only about a 10 minute drive from the beach with swimming access so not a big deal but still would have been nice to know

Solmar is a company totally...
Pros: The staff (except for the front desk staff) was very friendly
Cons: Solmar is a company totally “money-centered” and not customer focused.Everything started even before we got there… First our flight gotcancelled because of Tropical Storm Lidia, and Solmar (1) didn’t want tocancel our stay without charging us a cancellation penalty of $214. Ifwe rescheduled for two days later, they wanted to increase the overallprice by over $200 even though the price showing on booking.com was thesame as what we already committed to pay for the later dates. We had tospend a whole morning calling them and booking.com to figure it out….Such a waste of time. After booking.com fought for us with them theyfinally kept the announced price. But it was more time wasted (about ¾of a day on the phone). Detail: During those 2 days of storm their staffstuck in the resort for 2 days, because everything was flooded, whichmeans, they wanted us to go to Cabo to never be able to make it to theresort and put our lives at risk. Ok, so finally the booking was figuredout. We were supposed to fly to Los Cabos the day right after the stormpassed. The day before we called the Solmar to ask if the roads from theairport to the resort were ok. (3) They said everything was fine, theroads were open and working… The next day we had the unpleasant surpriseof spending 4hrs from the airport to the resort (it was supposed to take45min). The direct hwy was closed because a bridge fell, the secondaryroad was horrible, some parts were covered in mud, broken, with bigholes and bumps… It was horrible. We could see big trucks (semis) stuckall the way up in mud… On top of that: (4) The airport had no food whenwe arrived, only alcohol. People from Solmar didn’t offer any kind ofsnack, nothing! (5) In the middle of all the mess their shuttle driverwas texting and talking on the phone while driving.(6) By the way, an observation: a big part of the Solmar staff doesn’t speak English at all or speak English very poorly. Including their shuttle drivers….

Stay somewhere else in Cabo.
Pros: Staff (not the management) was wonderful and helpful. We enjoyed getting to know them during our stay.
Cons: They made staying there very inconvenient. We couldn't get towels at the pool- and they wouldn't exchange ours for dry ones unless we went back to our room. We did all inclusive and the value was ok- but I won't do it again. Part of the all-inclusive was a bon fire and a night with dinner and a show at the hotel- both of which got canceled during our stay, even though we had paid for it. The room was not updated at all and pretty old fashioned. We had a few problems while we were there and the management didn't do anything, just a quick apology and then walked off. I will not stay here again.

A wonderful way to end...
Pros: I loved the location to the famous "land's end" and beautiful rock formations on the beach that Cabo San Lucas is so famous for. The restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home when I had dinner on my own the one night of my stay there.
Front desk and Valet were also so friendly and helpful; I have nothing negative to say at all !
I will definitely come back again to stay there...
Cons: The surf break was was so dangerous when I was there so I was unable to swim in the ocean.

Pros:
Cons: I didn't like that we got talked into the timeshare tour and they said it would be no pressure. When we told them we were not interested they were so rude and disrespectful. It was by far the worst experience of the entire trip. The only positive that came from this is I got to swim with the Dolphins for free. I'll take 90 min of disrespect to save $400 to swim with dolphins.

Pros: Location is nice.
Cons: Customer service is a joke. The way my friends and I were treated in the main lobby would have cost employees at a reputable chain their job, not at this place. Lesson learned and please note, after a week stay at this place, this was one incident was enough to taint the entire trip. Further, this is a property that will always be negatively noted anytime I know anyone traveling to Cabo, stay away!
