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: Location is perfect, walking distance from the harbor.
Cons: Construction!!! Jackhammers pounding all afternoon. Also, "all inclusive" does NOT mean all inclusive at this hotel. I was charged for coffee. Was told coffee was not included. REALLY? Went to diner the first night. High priced items not included !!!

Good for the price but...
Pros: The staff that helped us were very nice, friendly, and attentive. The location on the Pacific side is amazing. Pool is great, wasn’t crowded.
Cons: The service was very, very slow. It was necessary to flag someone down poolside or in the restaurant for anything. You had to ask for every little thing. Refills, menus, the check, additional drinks, etc were never offered without having to flag someone down and ask. Also, having to sign for every little thing at an all-inclusive is annoying. Kids were also in the adults only pool several times.

Pleasant overall but with pros...
Pros: Friendly staff, they were extremely nice. For the first time ever using booking.com they couldn’t find my reservation but kindly resolved within an hour (and we gladly went to the bar). Restaurant food was delicious. Large comfy bed and futon. Our room had beautiful views from the balcony and the property is very pretty. Walk along the beach everyday. Great location, 10 min walk to town, easy access by taxi to the marina. The sister properties are much more beautiful and you can enjoy some, but not all, of those areas. Overall a pleasant stay but take note of the cons as well!
Cons: We were in a room with 2 bathrooms, no hot water in one the whole week (even after they ‘fixed’ it)...luckily we had the 2nd shower. At checkin we were told we could use all facilities at the neighboring sister properties, but really you can only use certain areas-it’s confusing. 2/4 nights there were 18 year olds throwing a rave below us and we lost a lot of sleep. Security kept coming to make them quiet but they should have been kicked out. Rooms were clean enough but not meticulous. Our pool was not heated in February, so we hopped to the other heated pools - one was noisy under construction and the other we were told we’re not supposed to use. Heat all the pools!!!

Pros: The employees were great, friendly and helpful. The food and service in the restaurant wonderful. Not only did it taste great, the presentation was beautul.

We would stay here again,...
Pros: The rooms were very clean and comfortable. For the entire week, we did not hear any noise from above or around our room, which made it a nice quiet room for sleeping. - We also used the concierge service on the web site to stock our refrigerator with water and beer and a few snacks before we showed up. That was very convenient since it was our first trip to Cabo and we did not know where the closest store was.
Cons: Maybe a larger refrigerator for all that we purchased.

Pros: We really liked to the location, it truly felt as if we were on our a private beach and had no surrounding hotels.
Cons: We really didn’t like the room we stayed at the first night. We couldn’t take a shower with out having a flooded bathroom, the room was tiny and very noisy. We also were not to impressed with the staff. It feel like the guest and providing customer services came second in their priorities.

Did the trick, beautiful and...
Pros: We were changed to a Room with a beautiful ocean view after they couldn’t fix the light in our room. At first, they tried to move me to a smaller studio which they argued was the same size, until the manager got involved and moved me to the one that was the same size, but a much better view. The manager was immediately accommodating, the bellman were all so genuinely friendly. Ediberto was the best! Close to town, walked everywhere! Even tho you couldn’t swim in the ocean
Cons: Shower temp would change from hot to cool on a whim. Older facility, but well kept. Staff way too aggressive pushing timeshare. We were followed down the street the first morning by someone wanting to take us to breakfast. Front desk smiled a lot but was kind of fake, and I didn’t like that they argued about the size of the smaller King studio being the same. It wasn’t. The bellboys were amazing. Ediberto was the best! Brought linen and made up the pull out sofa bed for us at 1045 pm when housekeeping forgot to do it...all with a smile on his face. He was a very nice gentleman.

Pros: The hotel is a little older style, but rooms were large and lovely, with balcony overlooking the pacific. Bed was so comfortable!!! The grounds were impeccable. The restaurants were delicious and inexpensive. Two pools, one with swim up bar and hot tub, other quieter and lovely with bar and food service. We liked the quieter pool. Location was easy walking distance to Marina and all excursion tours and shopping. Price was cheapest in Cabo. We would definitely stay there again.
Cons: Couldn't swim at the beach. Pacific side is too rough with bad currents. But it was the best location for sunsets!!!

Pros: Staff was great. This place was a wonderful value. I don't have any complaints but will say it's very nice, not luxury though. Everything you need with a helpful and attentive staff. Food was pretty good, drinks were good,
Cons: The food got a bit repetitive and the portions are big. I'd say more variety on some menus and a bit more details around the edge (windows opening easier, bathtub working without assistance, etc) would have make this amazing

Pros: The staff was so helpful and friendly. Manny, one of the waiters at the Tehaban restaurant was excellent. The property is right on the beach. The Mexican fiesta night on Saturday was excellent and had a great band and dancers.
Cons: The Bonfire night which is a Tuesday night event, had loud 80s American music and music trivial pursuit theme and was not that interesting.
