There is essentially no drink service at the beach.

but the true highlight of our week was the fantastic staff (especially Arturo ❤️) We highly recommend chartering a fishing boat and snorkeling at the arches and lovers beach!

It’s a big beach party where everyone wears white, huge buffet, and fire show.

The beach is beautiful, the services great, and the food is ok.

Bar hoping, shoot some pool, lay at the beach, go to the club, relax at 3 different pools, you name it don’t even have to leave the resort to be able to do it all!

Where can I start - Great location, beautiful resort, entertainment team was super, and marina views are breathtaking.

Our favorites are the VIP Pool, the Cupcake Cafe, the Sushi, Don Diego's for breakfast & Tortuga Beach Club and the evening entertainment!

The Tortuga restaurant was our favorite and the beach dinner was a worth it splurge.

Our last night there, we had an amazing server at the beach casual dining restaurant (Tortuga).

Food was amazing, staff was amazing, thank you Arturo, Adrian, Jaimie Macbeth, Jose for your excellent service and taking care of us, the resort was perfect, unparalleled views and exceptional beach, we will definitely be back!

Balam was great, he took us to el corsario beach .

Do not miss the Wednesday night white party on the beach.

Oscar checked us in and was relentless in making sure we had the marina view room we requested over the Cupcake Cafe.

It was the general manager, Nicki, and she and her head reception Oswaldo fixed us up, with a room closer in with beautiful views of the marina on one side and the beach on the other.

Excellent service senior Alvaro was very helpful and gentleman professional service we are very happy good food housekeeping great location very close to the beach fun activity friendly staff clean rooms

Beach was beautiful with large waves (no swimming allowed).

We liked the Mexican restaurant and Tortuga Beach the best.

Rafael, Carlos the Photographer, and Francisco with the excursions all did great for us to setup my girlfriend 30th birthday decorations in the hotel room to helping plan the proposal event on the beach with romantic dinner, bands, drinks, and a photographer.

The Sandos Finisterra is near these landmarks: El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo main square, Playa Grande, Chileno Beach, Playa Palmilla (Palmilla Beach), Playa Grande, Playa Grande, Medano Beach, Playa Grande, Marina Cabo San Lucas, Ivan Guaderrama Art Gallery, Playa del Amor, Mt.

We actually walked to Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach along the shoreline.

That is the ones you’re allowed to eat at.

Please give some opinions about the food, rooms, layout etc.

I ordered a frapp from their Cafe and each time, it was done different.

There are several dining options for dinner.

He is a waiter at breakfast and lunch and by far one of the most thoughtful, kind, and customer service oriented staff member they have.

but I definitely find the food here to be very good.

We have had him at breakfast and lunch many times.

Ask for him when dining at Sandos' restaurants.

She was quick to bring us food and drinks.

My wife and I ordered the fish tacos and those are now our favorite!

We gave it one night: 
 food mediocre, service decent, unaccommodating.

The food was authentic, perfectly seasoned, and scrumptious!

The scenery, walkable to downtown,cleanliness,food and service were all fantastic.

The food was very good quality and presentation, as well as delicious.

Wonderful to have him as a waiter and he made sure that all of our food was perfect every single time.

Agave is the only lunch option and is loud and slow.

The rest of the pool bar staff seemed annoyed and slow, sometimes waiting up to 30 minutes for a drink.

We have only two minor complaints: 1) At times the service was slow in the restaurants - especially in the Italian restaurant, Emiliano's.

Also, the pool service was a bit slow at the pool due to not enough staff.

The service at pizza and sushi bar at the pool was slow and unfriendly.

I should note we were there last week in Jan which is a very slow season in Cabo according to the people we talked to, so the resort was at 25% capacity.

Check-in was very slow for us, we had to wait on line.

service was very slow at all the restaurants.

but some restaurants having service issues (Emilianos & Poolside)

-  Overall, the resort coffee service was not good, and the service at the cafe was slow.

The service at Tortuga Beach for dinner was so slow!

The only downside are the internet is really slow, the coffee is weak and the selection of beers is awful.

The pool side service was very slow and or you got no service until we paid the waiter (vs. tipping the waiter).

Absolutely safe and pretty short walk to town.

As you walk through the grounds, everyone shared a smile and small greeting.

Walk in the lobby, ask for Alexis and you are good to go! 💜💜

It is nice that it’s super close to town and you can walk to explore bc I’ve never done that with any of my Mexico visits.

We always request him when we come to eat and he remembers walking around the resort.

From the moment we walked in the door we were met by Francisco and Alvardo.

The location makes it;  you can walk down the hill and you are at the marina where all the tour boats and water taxis are.

However, Sandos is in a great location, being less than a 5 minute walk from the marina where you can shop and catch a water taxi to other areas and a 10 minute walk to a public beach that allows swimming.

A 10 minute walk to marina and downtown shopping makes the resort a desirable destination.

If you come, skip the timeshare presentation at the beginning and don't hesitate to ask about the amenities - food and drink orders at the pool, walking to the swim beach, etc.

Short walk ro the pier and downtown Cabo for fun and shopping.

It is a $5.00 uber ride to the swimmable beaches or a 30 minute walk around the marina.

The setting is beautiful, the location is the best (a quick walk in to town and the marina)

The location was pretty much perfect for walking into town/the marina.

Great location and an easy walk to the marina and shops nearby.

Fun walks around marina and being able to see the sea lions swimming freely was fun.

It only took a few minutes to walk to the marina where all the shops and restaurants are located.

The location is also great with a quick, and safe, 5 minute walk to the marina, 10 to the closest swimmable beach and the same to town.

As others have noted, don’t expect wifi in the rooms.

Lots of stairs, lots of ramps that I'm sure do not meet ADA code.

If there’s one thing I’d comment on, it’s that the wi-fi was spotty in our rooms and around the resort

Little to no Wi-Fi connection in the room.

The only and I mean only con was the WIFI

Internet Wi-Fi connection was intermittent, which was frustrating.

The one thing we found inadequate was wifi in rooms - pretty much nonexistent unless you’re out in the lanai.

First, the hotel advertises that WIFI is available when the truth is that it is only available in some common areas and even there the connection is spotty. When we pointed this out we were told that the hotel was "working on it."

The WiFi was atrocious, we had to turn it off and use cell data.

The room we were in had issues with the internet and the bathroom needed updating.

Wi-FI is garbage, the website clearly states if you stay more than 3 nights then the antigen tests are free for 2 people per room, well at the Hotel we were told no that is if you book 90 days in advance, BS!!.

Management all over the place so if you have something to say or complain, do it there and do not act as a victim on the social networks!

In room it’s hard to get wifi or cell signal.

I think our biggest complaint was speed of service.

The QR code you have to scan in order to get any information was confusing and I had to call the concierge several times to understand that the code is actually on the television channel 2! Ridiculous!

Probably because the internet isn't reliable.

We ended up walking to the public beach near the marina and had a blast.

It has an easy access to the beach, great views of the mountains and local to the city.

The resort was very quiet and we were able to relax by the pool and on the beach most days.

There is no swimmable beach here as it is on the Pacific side rather than on the Sea of Cortez.

The beach was so beautiful and the resort has lots of programs and fun stuff to do.

Solar is just a 20 minute walk along the beach to the beautiful ocean

Hotel is right on the beach and in close proximity to the Marina, downtown and restaurants.

although not swimmable, is breathtaking and spiritual in the ferocity of the waves against the beach and the rock.

I like this property location - the beach is beautiful, you can hike to lovers beach!

The main thing for us was that the beach was super accessible

but was much more chill, relaxed, and you could easily walk to a beach to swim or to the marina to explore the mall and shops.

Our room was very close to the pool, beach & restaurant, which was awesome and greatly appreciated.

It has great beach access which was awesome!

Walking over to Divorce beach and snorkeling over at Lovers Beach is a highlight.

but it was a short water taxi ride to lots of great beaches.

We saw the humpback 🐋 whales from the resort, walked the nice beach ⛱ and really enjoyed the pool area including Rodolfo the Activities director !

but since the beach in town is very close we didn't mind one bit.

Because our unit was at the back of the resort, we also had extra construction noise from maintenance fixing or sanding things.

There was construction noises the whole day, no way to take a nap on your vacation, and awful painting and other chemical products smells the whole time.

We moved into a room, that was away from construction noise and had sun.

Despite some negative reviews I read there was hardly any construction noise.

The resort again was inundated with construction noise from the additional lobby work.

The beds were comfortable and I did not hear any of the construction noise others have mentioned.

A big concern I read in reviews right before our trip was construction noise due to hotel repairs from a hurricane.

Sitting on our deck in the morning the noise from the construction was loud,

Since our room was a first floor pool-side room we did not hear the construction out front.

Construction noise was not that bad and staff was willing to move patrons if bothered by it.

The construction noise was ongoing and loud.

They are going through construction and that noise can be a little frustrating

The only drawback was the noise from the construction going on -

Four stars instead of five for construction noise,

It also made it very hard to relax by the pool with constant construction noise all day long.

construction noise is loud in the day time  if your trying to relax

They made our 6 day stay at Solmar worthwhile and you overlooked the construction noise.

Super loud construction noises all day, every day though.

We were able walk from the hotel to climb over the rocks to Honeymoon Beach, Divorce Beach and Lovers Beach to swim in the Sea of Cortez.

You are a few yards away from what they call divorce beach.

If you are reasonably fit and up for a scramble you can walk to lovers/divorce beach - bring your snorkel or rent one at lovers beach to swim at pelican rock.

The rock formations are phenomenal and offer small beaches including a honeymoon and a divorce beach; both lovely!

The location near land's end was perfect as well, so you can hike over the small rock formation to get to Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach.

If you would like to take a ride from the harbor (marina) to the arc or a lovers beach, divorce beach,Medano beach, look for "el Capitan Perico".

We walked to the end and went up and over the big rock hill to the lovers beach and divorce beach.

Solmar is RIGHT in the middle of the marina, el arco (the arch) and between Divorce beach and Lovers beach.

From the location point of view, you can stroll along a magnificent beach undisturbed and access Divorce Beach and Lover's Beach by climbing over a small rock hill.

If you're in good physical condition, you can climb the rock formations a short distance from the resort and make it to Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach within a 5 minute walk from the resort.

The walk over the rocks at the end of the peninsula led to Lover's beach (swimable) and Divorce beach (not swimable).

So, don't pay extra for the taxi and just climb the big stone (a very easy hike with sandals NOT flipflops) and you're at divorce beach, which is right across from lovers beach.

Quick walk to Lover's Beach, Divorce Beach and Los Arcos.

This is also the way to Lover's and Divorce Beach

They said that they had to call Reservations to confirm which was conveniently closed at the time

I guess if you wanted to you could call them out on it or adjust your tip accordingly.

Not even a place to charge your phone by the bed.

On top of that they triple charged our credit card charged us the day we checked out days after we left so now we have to call the bank and have that fixed.

As I watched him walk out of the check in location he did not have a phone, radio or even talk to anyone.

I asked for a call from the manager and never heard back.

I appreciated that there was no additional calls trying to get us to commit to the time share sales.

On our first arrival had to use phone maps to find it though.

I then waited for 30+ minutes while they shipped what they call a bed, what I imagine is a cot from another resort to see if I would be satisfied with that.

The only downfall was the booze in the all inclusive it was what I call generic alcohol.

They never credited it back to my Visa so now a month later it's still showing a $1000 charge and no credit. When I call I'm told "yes we see the credit

We cannot control the AC in our room and had to be controlled through maintenance which there’s no need to call maintenance twice a day to adjust the temperature in the room.

We arrived and our room had a broken AC, while over a 100 F outside, and they took some good 150 minutes and two phone call to front desk, to change our room.

but paying $100+ dollars a night, I had to call it in.

You have to call the front desk to have them drain it for you.

..even if you walk up and want a coffee to go or a bottle of water, you stand around waiting for them to ring it up and bill you.

Cell phone data had a higher speedtest than their Wi-Fi, and for what they want to charge ($13.00 a day), it's a travesty that they still want their patrons to pay for this.

If you book make sure you Email and confirm everything, dont call, email have written proof.

There was some confusion because the gentleman at the front desk said our appointment was at 9 and he had been calling our rooms.

If you like old and outdated furniture, TVs, bathrooms stay here.

My thoughts on the future of the resort have changed as management has clearly decided to spend money maintaining the resort generally and updating the rooms specifically ( ours for sure).

but the room was so outdated and need renovation and cleaning.

I highly recommend,  make sure you get one of the newer remodeled rooms, some of the others are outdated

Place is way overpriced, hotel facility is outdated and overall structure is old.

although the bathroom fixtures badly needed updating.

[Resubmitted this review as I had an update at the bottom]
We're only halfway through our trip,

The front Chalk board we kept referencing seemed to be out of date and was never updated. 5.

but was still surprised to see how outdated it was.

When the conditions change, they anticipate to keep the guests happy.

The 1 bedroom unit we stayed in has not been remodeled forever

I don’t know why there’s people complaining about Solmar being “outdated”.

First impressions of the Solmar resort was that is was a little outdated compared to the two neighboring properties - Playa Grande and Grand Solmar.

While it is a bit outdated, the rooms are huge.

The resort is very old and has not been remodeled in forever.

to the end, and every delicious food item, beverage option, and super staff encounter in-between, this was an excellent choice.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always plated so well.

The restaurant ans bar staff were amazing.

If anything only the deserts were maybe a touch below the rest of the food.

Other than Michael the manager being awful and the room issues, the staff at the restaurants were so nice and accommodating!

Roberto was very helpful, the food was good and the sports bar lots of fun

The drinks were very good.

Drinks were great especially the ones from Octavio’s “secret” menu.

The food was exceptional, just look at the pictures.

Rooms were super clean (cleaned twice a day and they go above and beyond) and the food was so good.

Food was delicious and I have zero complaints about this resort.

Food was great too - GET THE ALL INCLUSIVE SO WORTH IT!

We had an amazing time at the Solmar resort in Cabo San Lucas with great food and great service.

The food drinks and activities were all so great!

He did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied with our time spent at the restaurant.

The Tezeban restaurant has a very good menu and the food and service is excellent.

I was very careful to book the link that stated meals were included and chose to book it through Agoda

The quality and preparation of the food was top notch as well, and Mexican Fiesta night was a kick.

even though we were all inclusive and the service, especially at breakfast, was slow.

I realize this is a shoulder season and that times are slow due to COVID-19.

but they were so slow to confirm, I had to make my own arrangements (which were cheaper).

The Wi-Fi was slow and spotty particularly in my room

service is slow.. the waiters are very forgetful.

During the slow season the snack bar is only open Friday and Saturday.

It was slow at the resort so they canceled Tuesdays and Thursdays fiesta nights which really disappointed us,

( pool side service was slow I think due to a new waiter with limited English not much hustle out of the new guy) 

Jose Luis 1&2, manny, Wilfredo, arturo, Jose, Damian, sal, Gerardo, Humberto all went above and beyond to make our meals and drinks great, the waiting staff is great.

I expected a lot of buffet food, watered down drinks, and slow service

but the services are EXTREMELY slow even though you may be the only one at the place to eat.

Restaurant service is extremely slow in even taking orders (we were the only table), sports bar is only managed by one waiter and he's always burned out.

Our only real complaints is there was no TV in the living room only one in the bedroom, and since since Wifi is only decent in your room, and is slow and disconnects a lot it should be free.

The service in the main restaurant was very slow and food was cold every time.

It is a very relaxful resort with slow paced activities.
