Week in Cabo

Best Things Nearby:
Easy walking distance to town. Great crafts market just down the hill. Close to marina.

Best Things About the Resort:
New resort with very comfortable, nice rooms; five pools, one of which is adults only; staff very friendly.

Resort Experience:
Very beautiful resort with pools and waterways in the center. Has the feel of an old European town. Rooms are plush, with beautiful wood, marble, and stone. Balconies with every room. Every room has ocean view; you can hear waves crashing at night. Every morning, there were lawnmowers - so unpleasant to have morning coffee on the balcony, just too noisy .I could have mowed all the grass they had in one morning. Pool area gets very loud in the afternoon when drunk volleyball starts with happy hour (two-for-one drinks). Great spa and gym, easy to make appointment or drop in. Two restaurants with good food, but not a very big menu. Most of the evenings, we had to call to have the futon made up - the maids didn't remember. One night they had to send security man because all the other staff had left.

Great fish tacos and fruit smoothies. Right on the marina in an open patio setting. Cool breezes while watching marina and people-watching. The portions are very generous (hard to finish it all). So much shrimp or fish in the tacos, you had to remove some to eat it. Other types of Mexican cuisine available.

We went through Baja's to arrange our ATVing. Got the tour for both of us as a gift for attending timeshare presentation. The location is north of Cabo. Baja's picks you up and returns you to your resort. The area for ATVs is north of town in a state park. Beautiful desert right next to fabulous private beach. Both group ATVing and time to go off on your own to explore. They provide cold water and guide. Very fun, and they also have a paramedic accompany the group for safety. Highly recommend them.

Every Saturday at Solmar, they throw a Mexican Fiesta. For $35 USD, you can eat as much as you want and order any drink you want, all included. The food is very good: serviche, roast pig, tamales, quesadillas, soups, etc. With the dinner is a show by a local dance troupe performing dances from different parts of Mexico, with costumes reflecting the different regions. They are very good. Emcee breaks up the dancing with activities for diners to show off and be embarrassed...very entertaining.
