Royal Solaris

Ever the gentlemen to help out 3 single ladies in need..... my family & I (note, I'm not trying to pick y'all up! ) stayed at the Royal Solaris 2 summers ago. What I can tell you: more laid back than Cabo, but we liked that. Hotel was very very nice. 3.5-4 Diamond category. Pools were simply awesome, food for an all inclusive was top notch (specialty restaurants were the best). Lots of marble, foyer was great, timeshare stuff very low key. With the week's rate we got a cruise from Cabo to see the Land's End Arch & lover's beach (skip it guys!), and go snorkeling. It was a large 200 plus passenger boat, not some skimpy boat. About the only negative: the beach in front of the hotel is a looking beach. The waves hit at such an awkward angle & had significant rip that NOBODY went swimming, although there are other beaches a cab ride away that did. Also, you can take a free shuttle into cabo that runs a few times/day, or walk about 1/2 mile to a traffic circle & take the local bus. Very safe, a taste of mexico, and cheap. Oh, our rate even included free green's fees for 2/day, if you're golfers. Nightly entertainment was good & varied; only 1 night did i think it was too amateur.

Have a fair amount of pics of the vacation & resort; PM me & I'll send you an i'net link to the whole album. Oh, be sure to plan a day's excursion to do the desert ATV's; very fun & cool. Also, the town of Cabo itself is still a bit quaint, but being overrun with too much Gringo stuff like Starbucks & chain restaurants. Get it while you can! Enjoy the time. ^
