We booked our package at the Solymar through Apple Vacations. My husband and I DID NOT do the all inclusive for this hotel. We arrived at the Solymar on Tuesday February 17th, 2004. The lobby is bright and airy with a magnificent view of the ocean. The front desk staff greeted us cheerfully and checked us in promptly although we were not allowed into our room until 3 p.m. Which was fine.
They hold your luggage for you if you want, we let them and we headed down to the beach bar. My husband and I were wary at first about this hotel because it got such mixed reviews from people. I found this hotel to be very clean, open and airy. Our room was on the 3rd floor up facing the parking lot, but with an ok view of the lagoon. Our room was clean and neat. We had a balcony we could sit on also.
I don't suggest doing the all inclusive at this hotel (too expensive, food sucks) nor do I suggest eating there and paying for it!
The staff is nice, the rooms are clean, and I would suggest hopping on the bus and trying the many different restaurants in Cancun, there are many to choose from and they are wonderful! Solymar is great, just don't do the ALL INCLUSIVE!!
The beach bar is great, but the downside to it is that it closes at 5 p.m.!! UGH!! If you do not do the all inclusive you cannot pay cash at the beach bar (except to tip) you will have to run a tab and then you can pay your tab with your credit card. We found the bartenders to be very friendly. We ordered can beer (Sol) it was about $3 U.S. per beer (Mexico ain't cheap anymore, at least not Cancun)
There are safes in the rooms, they are $1 U.S. per day to use them though. We tipped an average of $2 per day for our maid, $1 per luggage for the transfer/taxi drivers and bellboys, etc.
The beach was great, beautiful white sand, nice and clean. A few vendors but they didn't bother you too much, just close your eyes and sunbathe, they will only come up to you if you look at them in any sort of way. On a
