Pros: Check-in was quick and painless, and included a free upgrade to a master suite in Building P right by the ocean (thanks!). Pool waiters were prompt and attentive with fantastic drinks and courteous service. My room was clean and quiet (YES!) and the bed was comfortable. I was staying solo but traveling with a large wedding group, and they took exceptional care of us all. WiFi worked. The wedding setup and service was exceptional. Mauricio took care of our group all day at the pool and during the wedding dinner. Great service! This has been my preferred Cabo resort for years, and it lived up to my high expectations yet again. This was trip #13 to Cabo for me, and it's one of my best trips yet.
Cons: I was unable to secure a late checkout, which made my last day less smooth and relaxing than I'd like. Small courtesy suites for early arrivals and late departures would be ideal (other resorts in the area do offer them).

Pros: We loved the resort and grounds especially at night. It is so beautiful and relaxing. We also liked how the pools were situated and the different options for pools. We loved the wait staff. We really liked the location. It made everything easily accessible, and we were really able to enjoy Cabo. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
Cons: I didn't like the attitude I received from the woman that was to welcome us to the hotel but was really trying to get us to a timeshare presentation. First of all, we know the game that is played, which is they tell you it is something else, but that is what it ends up being. Why should I be given attitude for my preferences? I chose to spend 9 days there and spend our money there, but it didn't seem appreciated when I checked in..Secondly, we asked about renting a car twice while I was there. First time, the girl seemed disinterested in explaining and gave us a rate sheet to look at. Second time, the Concierge said someone would call us back in few minutes but never did.

Pros: Hotel has great services, for sure. The Spa is wonderful and the hotel does what it can to make sure your visit is enjoyable. Walking from the hotel to the city is not close. The rooms are very nice and each room has a great view. See the negative for other details.
Cons: Cabo is not what it used to be. Now there are time shares everywhere and high end luxury mall. Here are the bad things about this hotel in a nut shell. Can go into the beach (Pacific current is too strong and hotel warns against it.) You have to pay for everything (Gym Fee, Business Center Fee, Internet Fee, Tennis Fee) For the money (Roughly $400 a night without the all inclusive) is not worth the stay. There are many other places in the world to stay then Cabo for that price.

Pros: Amazing views Many great restaurants within walking distance Large rooms
Cons: Every person in our group had to switch rooms because the initial ones given were terrible They charge you for everything (without much notice). For example, yoga was $17 and not all that great. We paid over $400/night for a basic room so at that rate felt something should have been included.

Pros: Everything about this property and the team that make each day as relaxed as you desire, is tremendous. Numerous restaurants and a great beach on the property removes any need to ever leave, even though they are perfectly located to even more exceptional dinning like Edith's. Everyone is friendly and courteous... we have come here as a family annually for five years and each year everyone raves how it is always more improved than the year prior.

Pros: It's clean, modern, gorgeous, welcoming, and fun. The location is absolutely perfect: far enough away to be peaceful, but close enough to walk to the party downtown or on the beach.
Cons: If I could change one thing, it'd be that the people who sell their timeshares would be less assertive. But really, they take "no" for an answer and don't get in your way.

Pros: The staff was very good. They helped us get a nice room at the front desk. The pool and grounds and restaurant staff was very accommodating and paid great attention to us. Very Impressed. I requested my reservation with Kayak for 2 adults in my room, and some how the final print out with "Solmar All Inclusive "only had listed 1 adult in my room and charged me extra for my guest $60 each day to stay in my room. And the room was not included to be all inclusive, as stated in the name of the resort on the reservation "Solmar All Inclusive" ----This also was the case with guests checking in at the same time, who we did not know, who had used a different reservation process, they were charged additional for the second person and did not know it was not all inclusive.. ----The front desk staff, did try to help us... Obviously not there fault. They explained that if we paid for a more expensive room, we would not get charged for the extra guest, either way we ended up having to spend much more than we agreed when we booked and paid with visa the room on line. Very Disappointing. The entire time we were there we were surrounded by construction both at the entry of the resort and tractors on the beach in front of our view. The work began early in the morning waking us up every morning, jack hammers tearing up concrete and large tractors moving bolders and palm trees all day long. This was not disclosed on the reservation. Very Disappointed. The view was nice, but the rooms were very outdated. We stayed 2 nights at Solmar to visit friends staying there for a special occasion. The staff every where was wonderful but we would not return to this property. They did not disclose that the property was in major construction, the room was dated, and the price charged before arriving was not at all the price I had to pay to stay there..

Cons: The price for the facilities was not reflective of the age of the hotel. The facilities seemed like it was from the 70's but the price was for something in the 2000's. The beach was not open for swimming either. There was not shuttle to downtown CABO. This seemed impractical since it was probably about 1.5 miles to downtown. You were forced to get a cab for $8 or circle around for downtown parking in a rental car. The staff at the front desk seemed to be perturbed that i was checking in.

Pros: The accessibility to the town and ocean The waiters and staff in the resort
Cons: The staff in the front office were incredibly rude to myself and family. They did not have a room for us and instead of being apologetic, described it as “our lucky day.” They tried to send us to their sister hotel, 20 minutes away, away from the beach and town. They were rude, arrogant, unapologetic. We spent the first day arguing to have a room in the hotel we reserved for 3 and 1/2 hours. They eventually gave us someone’s time share with the risk that we may have to leave if they showed up. The rooms were old. My parents sink leaked on their feet every time they used it My husband and mom got food poisoning. Would never return to this hotel.

Pros: Great location, sweet service people (who will soon be out of jobs). I got a great rate but more than $200 you should go elsewhere. Great sushi..be sure to see Armando and make friends with him...you will love this guy.
Cons: There is the heavy hand of an oppressive management everywhere. The service people are great, but there are shaking in their boots, worried that they will violate any of the numerous rules and regulations. I only paid $182 incl tax for 2 people all incl. That is about the MAX you should pay here. Any more and you will be upset. There are panning to tear down this hotel in 2 years 2 further destroy this magnificent setting with yet another behemoth Las Vegas style mega hotel. It will make you cry...it will soon be an unlivable ghetto. Also, you will wake up every morning, including Sunday to the sound of construction and loud voices from 830am through out the day. Pretty depressing overall. Food is passable but not good. Only one restaurant option

Pros: Food was pretty decent given the cost for an all inclusive. Location was nice, rooms were ok and facilities like the pools were basic, but acceptable.
Cons: Customer service was awful and they seemed to want to bleed you for things like tips, but the worst is when they charged us $80 per day extra since our reservation was mistakenly made for one instead of two, but their going rate that day for two people was only $30 more per day. They made no effort to try and make this right and even let us check in with our one person reservation before notifying us of the issue so that we couldn't modify our reservation before they stuck us with the fee. I felt it was shisty and they were holding us hostage. Scammers!

Pros: Sunset
Cons: Being nickle and dimed for everything. Eg not informing us it's $30 extra for an additional person also wifi is $16/day. I feel as though if I'm paying $200+ per night it would not only include wifi but assume a minimum of two persons. Front desk staff was extremely slow and seemed disengaged. Overall, not a four star resort like they are listed. Would definitely not recommend anyone spending their hard earned money at this place.

Pros: Rooms well appointed and spacious, even studio. Beautiful pools. Walking distance to town, but not in town. Staff very courteous, and put up with my marginal Spanish. Fully stocked w/ pots, dishes, nice coffee maker etc. All rooms face pools & ocean (that we saw). Great gym.
Cons: Listed in approx. order of importance: Restaurants serve almost all American cuisine - not what we want in Mexico - need to add some good / local / distinctive Mexican cuisine (not just ceviche)!! Has beach front, but surf is too strong to allow swimming, and not quite wide enough to allow laying out on beach. Lighting in room (kitchen area of studio) could be better. The piped in TV is a Canadian system, which is OK, but when you're paying top $$ for place that caters to Americans, an American TV system would be appreciated. Drink prices are a little high (though you don't go here for bargain prices :-)).

Pros: I stayed during Thanksgiving weekend. Happy that this hotel is one of the few four or five stars hotel that opened after Hurricane during Thanksgiving. Facial was great. They used very nice product on me. Wireless connection was fine. Because this is not a big hotel, and not having a lot of activities organized by the hotel, the wi fi becomes important.
Cons: I am disappointed as this hotel being rated at 4-5 stars in many web sites. The room is very small. There were swimming pools but they were so cold that noone wanted to go into them. And yet the weather was so hot. There were just not enough umbellas next to the swimming pools. One can easily get sun burn if you do not keep putting sunblocks every hour. It was not very fun when it was so hot when water in the pools were so cold. Restaurants service was very slow. We ordered breakfast room service one morning. It never came. For your reference, all of my ratings ( cleaniness, comfort, facilities, location etc) are rated against all other 4 or 5 stars all inclusive hotels i stayed in Caribean.

Pros: The staff was super helpful, extremely close to the Cabo Del sol golf course. You can jump in a shuttle and be at the Ocean/Desert course in 7 minutes.
Cons: As an individual, I ate meals at other hotels because I had friends in town, so I'm not sure if the premium I paid for it was worth it. The pool area fills up quickly (I think this is the case in most resorts.) But you have to wake up early to grab a chair next to the pool. Lastly, the INTERNET SPEED IS HORRIBLE. I got .2 MB / seconds download when I was able to connect and I was bounced off a lot. I intended to work while I was down here, and came home a day early because I could not use the internet.

Pros: Amazing views!! Great location with a 5 minute cab ride to town. The service is incredible and you are treated like royalty. Doesn't feel crowded even though it was completely booked. The staff is completely committed to ensure you are comfortable. The pool is absolutely beautiful and we loved the gym. Rooms are nice but not over the top. Very safe resort with guards at the gate. There are two sides to the resort, a quiet side and a side for the younger crowd. Even though we had the quieter side, some pool music would be nice. The landscape and views of lands end are incredible. Food is very good and plentiful as were the drinks. Pool side service was great and very easy to keep your drink full!! We will stay at the Riu again next trip.
Cons: You can not swim on this beach. It is cool to watch the massive waves crash on shore though. The buffet selection for breakfast and lunch gets tired after a few days. They need another towel station at the quieter pool. It was quite a hike to go get towels exchanged. I booked an ocean view room and got a garden view. Since the hotel was booked, they couldn't move us for a day but when they did, we got the best rooms in the resort!

Pros: Overall, it was a good stay.
Cons: The big problem I had in using Kayak is the third party company sent me an email itinerary showing May 21-28 but apparently sent the hotel dates of March 21-28. I didn't have a room when I got to Cabo so had to book a room elsewhere. I was supposed to check in on Sunday and it took until Monday for the hotel to let me know I had a room. I paid for 7 nights but only got 6, and was not refunded any monies for the 7th night.

Pros: Good location on a swimmable beach with view of the arch. Close to downtown Cabo
Cons: The service is extremely slow. They have a bunch of customer unfriendly policies and rules. This is not a true all-inclusive resort. There is an option to go "all-inclusive" but you have to sign for the check whenever you consume food or beverage. Not everything is included in the all-inclusive (such as the kids club for example, or wifi in the rooms). There are not a ton of activities for kids compared to other comparable resorts. The rooms are old and tired. Food in the buffet is mediocre (quantity over quality). Overall, the staff didn't make us feel like they were there to please the guests, they are there because it's a job. Will not return.

Cons: They overbooked the hotel and tried to split us apart from the wedding party we were member of, they transferred us to the adjacent hotel and promised us the all inclusive package as a nice gesture. Next day management felt the deal was too good and rescinded the offer in the middle of dinner. I spoke with Hedoc and Iliana in management only to have defensive combative conversations. They denied they gave us the offer even when I had paperwork and wristbands. I have had bad service before, I have had management make mistakes before but I have never seen such an inhospitable management team treat guests in this manner. Own up to your mistakes, take responsibility and make it right. I hate writing bad reviews, and being a restaurant owner understand how painful they are to read, but this weekend was so painful for my fiancé and I we needed to alert other travelers.

Pros: We loved the location and the scenery . Many opportunities to participate in activities of all sorts or simply relax. We also enjoyed the opportunity to utilize the sister resort next door. We have to give a shout out to Guadalupe at the grill. He seemed to be one of the few that genuinely cared and exceeded any other at the resort!!! We really missed him on his day off !
Cons: At the moment we checked in we were politely told that our package was not all inclusive. The booking website was misleading and we had to haggle and bargain to upgrade our package to an all inclusive for a mere $870 more (their discounted rate) This hotel took no ownership for the mislead advertisement. I had previously emailed the hotel to double check my reservations and accommodations with no clear response. Tips were pushed on us and sometimes not so politely requested. We spent more on tips than we would have on food. Overall only very few staff members willing to go above and beyond to make an exceptional experience that we had hoped for.

Pros: Overall it's a great resort. There was a variety of food and alcohol available all day. Lots of pools. Even though it seemed the resort was full there was always a place to go that was more or so private. Staff is welcoming and works hard to please. It's a large facility and unless you have a good excuse to leave into town you really don't need to. We rented a car and drove all over the place but we were always looking forward to coming home to our safe gated palace by the end of the day.
Cons: The frat boys and sorority girls running around inebriated adds to the entertainment but can get old. It doesn't last long though seeing as after about 20min of drinking they can't handle their liquor anymore and seem to disappear for the rest of the night.(maybe somewhere into the toilet). Overall no one bothered anyone and was always friendly. I never heard or saw any fights. In Mexico people seem to want a tip just for saying hello to you. So choose wisely don't be afraid to look cheap. Yea they're poor but so are you Wink wink. Blow and Mary J are abundant. Not in the resort itself but surrounding beaches. Up to you if that's good or bad. Tons of pos timeshare cockroaches. Stomp them out and kill them before they get to you. The resort will actually give you a lecture on how to avoid them, so listen closely.. Unless you like throwing your money away for the next 15-30years on something you prob will never use up to you. Overall nothing bad to say about the resort itself. It's guarded and gated and that is for a reason. Enjoy.
