The property is well kept, very clean. Rooms are spacious. The two restaurants have great food and best margaritas. Cons- pool water was luke warm. It gets very hot in Cabo, wish they could somehow keep water cooled.
Definitely a hotel on the top of my list! I've stayed at a few Secrets hotels throughout the Caribbean and this is one of my favorites

My girlfriend and I were thoroughly impressed with out stay at the Royal Solaris Los Cabos! We feel like we could not have gotten a better deal for the money we spent. We will absolutely recommend this resort to our friends and family.
This hotel was amazing & clean, and the staff is super nice! Definitely recommend!
We spent a week at this hotel while we were relocating to Mexico. The hotel was clean and comfortable, breakfast was great and you could walk to a grocery store, restaurants and the beach. Great location!
I enjoyed every minute of my trip. The only downfall was being a little out from the popular beaches and more localized activity. You had to travel but for the most part... it was all worth it.
Everything is perfect , friendly , & so professional good place for vacation not like the other Resort try to sale timeshare 👍, they're just need to improve about Asian restaurant ,
There was a lot of space in the suite, a kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, etc. and a fridge, though the fridge didn't fully work (the freezer section functioned as a fridge). There is internet in the lobby, though most rooms can't get it. The staff was incredibly friendly and available 24/7 with a security guard as well. My friend was on crutches and we were able to ...
Once we decided to not part take in the time share, which I was unaware would even take place and would have to sit through a 90 minute presentation, the staff were a lot less helpful. To the point where we never received toilet paper to our room on the last night which was rang the lobby for multiple times

Originally booked a room in the second building down the street - it's nice enough, but feels way more motel-y than the main building, which has the courtyard and pool that you see advertised. So we upgraded...pricey, but we think worth the splurge in the end. Courtyard is very peaceful and lovely, and the pool is great. We had a well-appointed room on the bottom floo...
The hotel is a very nice small hotel. It’s in a quiet area close to the beach, supermarket and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.
I do not go to Mexico to spend time with other Americans. I want to be with Mexican people and speak Spanish with them. I felt safe, everyone was friendly, particularly the restaurant staff, and the food was excellemt with good prices.
The Viceroy is the most instagrammable resort in Cabo - no one can enter without the urge to take a picture. But it is also the most peaceful/restful place, since the resort is covered with water features that appear like glass or ripple with the gentle breeze. The rooms are also beautiful, luxurious and peaceful. The staff are so nice and friendly and helpful; Pab...
This is a nicely appointed resort located just 15 minutes from the Los Cabos Airport. If you like a large, all-inclusive resort, then you'll like the Barcelo Grand Faro. I only stayed for one night.
