Here is our Royal Solaris Los Cabos Review:
The Royal Solaris Los Cabos is one of the largest all inclusive resort hotels in Los Cabos resort area. This beach-front resort in the San Jose Del Cabo. The Royal Solaris Los Cabos is "all-inclusive" which means your food and drinks are included in the room price. Meals are buffet style and offer decent food, but not gourmet by any standard. The Royal Solaris Cabo Hotel is popular with families and is quite full most of the time. The hotel has 3 large pools, but are usually very busy areas with vacant sun-lounges a precious commodity. It does offer a separate kids club with supervised activity center and a teen club with pool tables and video games. The Royal Solaris Cabo Hotel has a great beach in front of hotel, but is not good for swimming due to strong undertoe current. This busy hotel is popular with families looking for a 3+ or 4- star all-inclusive Cabo resort.

Remarks:
"The general staff, such as cleaning crew, waiters and bartenders were awesome. Nice, friendly and helpful. Everyone else on staff is there to sell you a time share. Dont do it. Say no the first time and ignore all subsequent attempts. The food was ok, nothing to write home about. Breakfast was the best meal of the day with all others being sustenance only. Little to no late night activity other than the theater show. By 10pm the place rolls up the sidewalks, for all except members. If you do go to this resort, go through a travel group like Apple or Expedia and go through their rep and their rep only - to book excursions outside the hotel. The hotel staff is fond of putting down all other reps in an attempt to get you into conversation, and a sales pitch. If you deal direct with the hotel staff for anything you get the sales pitch first. The entertainment staff at the pool is awesome. Its a bit loud and obnoxious sometimes, but you can remedy that by going to the quiet pool or to the beach. They are fun and entertaining and make a day in the sun more than just a day by a pool. Drinks are ok, and choices are limited, but theyre good enough for casual consumption. Go out to the bars in San Jose or go down to Cabo San Lucas if youre really looking to party."- Tomo from Eagle, Wisconsin

Remarks:
"I stayed a week at Hotel Solaris in Cabo during the Thanksgiving Holiday with the knowledge of an upcoming "no pressure" time share presentation. You are tagged with a plastic braclett upon registering to identify yourself as a hotel guest that you must wear all week. Youll have to pay another $70.00 if you loose the braclett. The rooms and hallways of the hotel are tile. Kids screeming and doors slamming can be heard throughout the day and night. Kids were everywhere including the "adult pool". The food is average and the alcohol is abundant. Merchandise veders are trolling the beach day and night to sell their goods and I was even approached by one such vender selling "weed" or "blow". The time share presentation was hard sell and was compared to buying a car. I was presented with so many offers I lost count. I was even approached afterwards in the lounge trying to relax. I did not buy the car. I will not go through that again. However, the town is wonderful. Nice people and shops. My advise is to stay at the hotel for the pool and alcohol and make the best of it, but go off property for the restaurants and fun. Its a $5.00 cab ride for your whole party anywhere local. Bring a lot of one dollar bills for tipping. Your money will go far in Cabo." - Sheldon from Palm Desert, Calif.

Remarks:
"We just spent a week at the Royal Solaris in Los Cabos in Mexico. From 8/11/07-8/18/07 The day we arrived they started trying to sell us a time share, we were not there to purchase a time-share we was there for a week of relaxing in the sun. Every time you went through the lobby someone was asking you about the time share program, if you wanted to take the 4 hour tour of the property and if you did they would give you tours for free or let you use the car to go into town or they would give you tickets for the special dinners on the beach. This place caters to owners\time share guest everyone else is treated like a second class citizen. When you try to get dinner reservations, the restaurants are always booked. You are suppose to have between 8am-10am the day that you want to eat at Marco Polo or Poncho restaurants to make reservations and it takes a few days to find out that time-share people get to make reservations the day before so if you don't have reservations by 8:15am you are not going to get any!!!! We finally complained to the management about getting reservations and the guy promised to get them for us, well he didn't but he did tell us that if we did their 4 hour time-share tour he could offer us some freebees. They should make this a time share resort and quit ripping off hard working people that save all year for a week of fun and relaxation. We have never been to a all inclusive resort that has one menu for owners\timeshare and another for everyone else. A resort that has in-your-face special parties, shows, beach parties and close the outside bar for owners\timeshare. We have been to several resorts and have never been treated this way. I thought they did away with segregation in the sixties!!!!!!!!
We did get into Marco Polos one evening and there was six of us traveling together we wanted 1 table and was told that it was against there policy to put tables together so we had to separate into two tables of four and two. Well guess what? When a group of six people that were time- share owners came in right after us, they pushed two tables together. Hmmmm I guess we know who rules this resort. There is a color band system and if you had a yellow ones (owners) you were treated like Royalty. The pools are filled with hot water and not refreshing at all. The kiddy pool is never used; we went by it several times. But why would any kid use the kiddy pool when they have the main pool and they take over the pool bar. Hmmm. Bet it saves the resort a lot of MONEY on drinks. If you are lucky enough to get a seat at the pool bar that the children have taken over they just jump in the pool and splash around until you leave. We had to tell several children that they were not allowed in the adult pool. The sports bar the only place in the resort that the children didn't take over, closes at 11pm. Before the kiddy play room. The shows are geared toward the kids, this place is great if you have children and want to be treated like second class citizens, but if you are six adults looking for a good time this is not the place to go !!!!!!!!!!! It's not that we don't like children. We are parents and grandparents. We just feel that management needs to take a hard look at how this resort is being run and if they feel that it should be a time-share resort then, they should stop booking it for people who work hard all year for a week of fun in the sun." - Bonny & Jack from Pittsburgh, PA

"We have travled to various resorts including St. Thomas, St. Johns, St. Croix, Bermuda, and the Bahamas and this is by far the least friendly, client friendly and security resort that I have ever been apart of. If you can go anywhere avoid the Royal Solaris. Happy travels anywhere but here!!!! " - Louis from St. Louis, Missouri

Remarks:
"We had no idea what this was when we walked in. We paid $830.00 for 3nights-4days. Thinking is was going to be a great little vacation...... The sales pitch was a totaly waste of time! I will never do that again. $100.00 of "funny money" to spend in the gift shop was NOT worth it! They went through about 5 people before I had to get up and walk away from them, they would not take no for an answer!! On a better note.....we loved the all inclusive. Smoking in the building and around the pool was a bad thing. One would need to go down the beach a long way to be able to get into the water. Our "guest representive" was a joke and not at all helpful. She didnt call the times she said she would, we missed reservation times and was never told the same thing twice. We would NEVER do this again. " - Kymmie, from Elma, Washington

"ITS A VERY LONG TRIP FROM NY, BUT WELL WORTH IT! FROM CHECK IN TO CHECK OUT THE STAFF AT SOLARIS ARE MORE THAN ACOMMODATING. WE DINED OUTSIDE OVERLOOKING THE BEACH AT BREAKFAST AND HAD AT LEAST FOUR DINING OPTIONS EACH EVENING. THE ACTIVITIES NEVER END. FROM POOLSIDE BINGO TO BASEBALL ON THE BEACH. THE BEST PART FOR ME WAS THAT IF YOU WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE THE STAFF SENSED IT, BUT IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO. THE BEACH IS BEAUTIFUL. IVE STAYED TWICE AND RETURNING FEB 08." - Laura from Holmes, New York.

Remarks:
"We were invited to The Hotel Royal Solaris Los Cabos by friends that had become members. This place was amazing. We all loved it there. It is a very kind, friendly and entertaining resort. Except for the smoking by the pool it was all fantastic. The best part were their shows in the evening-the entertainment staff are great-so good at all they do. Everybody including waitresses and timeshare staff and entertainment staff were happy and kind the whole trip. Yes we did attend a timeshare preview but never felt pressured at all. We did not join but all of the staff still went out of their way to make us feel welcome each and every day. Thank you all. I hope we get to come back soon!!!!!!!! " - Clare, from Temecula, Calif.

"This was our first time to Cabo and a friend recommended Royal Solaris. We were hit with the time share deal from the beginning which we attended. We own a timeshare already and got a free sunset cruise for 2 for about 2 hours of time. It is a high pressure situation so if you are not into that - then decline from the beginning. The resort itself is pretty good, imagine there are better in the area. You cannot get into the water very far due to the currents. The wait staff were nice, bring some small bills for tips to the waiters around the pool. We hung at the adult pool which was good and pretty quiet. Overall the food was average for lunches but the specialty restaurants were good. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with home made omelets. The sunset cruise on the Sun Rider was very nice, food was pretty good and the drinks and staff were good. Take the shuttle from the hotel into Cabo San Lucas, only $10 per person round trip. Into San Jose Cabo it is $5 per cab ride. When you check you are given a card to eat and drink until it is time to leave which is a nice touch." - Billy from Houston, Tx
