GR Solaris Cancun Resort and Spa- All Inclusive

The resort was clean, the staff was very friendly, and most spoke very good english. A good family hotel, easy acess to the pool and the beach with a life guard on duty. The room was comfortable with enough shampoo, lotion, mouth wash and towels. My biggest diappointment was the lack of high quality food or specialty restaurants. The one they did have you had to wear slacks and a shirt with a collar or you could not dine there. The food was good(not exceptional), hot, plentiful, and empty plates were removed quickly. I've been to Mexico about twenty times and always all inclusive and the food here does not measure up to the other hotels. As far as the other amenities there right up there with the best(for the price).

We decided for the all inclusive to not do anything at all... and it was perfect. No worries, all kinds of food, bevearages free (including alchool). They take food to wherever you want: beach, pool, etc. The SPA is really something but as any other one, not affordable to everyone(I'm not saying it is expensive or not worthy). Spotless. Every night they had a small party at the bar, with karaoke, limbo dance, etc. The party staff is really something.

It was a great vacation. Many couples there seemed to have a great time, including people on their honeymoon. Food was decent, but not incredible. Highly recommend going out to eat a few nights. The best way to get around Cancun is the public bus system, which is less than $1 per person for each ride. The staff is always very friendly and very helpful. Great activities all day and night. While kid friendly, hotel did an AMAZING job keeping the kid and adult activities separate. So if you are a couple looking to keep away from the kids, you need not worry. If you are a family looking for a family environment and activities for your kids, this is also a perfect place.

Aquaworld tours on site, friendly staff.

While in Cancun we had a wonderful time at the G.R. Solaris. The hotel is beautiful and the staff works incredibly hard to keep everything very clean. I would recommend the upgrade to the ocean view room. The balconies on the ocean side overlook the gorgeous pool and have an unobstructed view of the sea. The food was decent in all of the restaurants. It can all use a little salt and pepper, but I never tasted anything that was bad. The room service menu had many options and being available 24 hours a day is an added bonus. I would recommend ordering the Chicken Fajitas. They were excellent. The beach at the hotel is nice. It is one of the few in Cancun that still has beautiful white sand without any exposed rocks. The surf is a little rough and may not be suitable for children to swim in unattended, but being a lover of a beach with large waves, I enjoyed it. This is my second time staying at this hotel and I am already planning my next trip. Don't forget to bring some extra money to tip the staff. They work very hard to make your vacation memorable and are very appreciative when given some extra recognition.

If your going to cancun, then all-inclusive is the way to go. GR solaris was a great place to stay. Easy access to the beach, walking distance to some mayan ruins, and friendly staff made it a great experience. There are some things that I would change, first, when we checked into our room the room itself was clean, but the balcony had someones cigar butts on it. Second having to make reservations for dinner early in the morning didn't work for me because I stayed up all night getting wasted on the free drinks at the bar. The location was close to shopping and the bus system runs right past the hotel. The bus costs 50 cents and takes you down the beach to where ever you want to go. Although the ride can be a little nerve racking because the bus drivers drive the buses like they a stockcars. Beware of the timeshare people. We went on the timeshare presentation, it took 90 minutes and we got some free stuff so it was worth it, but if its not your thing be on the look out. I recommend going to isla mujeres while there and get a cab tour it was awesome. Lastly buy your transportation from the airport to the hotel and back prior to the trip and know exactly what company is picking you up. One of the scams they run is telling you that you are on their list and charging you outrageous sums for a 15 minute ride. I recommend this hotel for couples and for those with kids it caters to both!

Everything was wonderful! Had a great time! Wonderful staff! Pool and beach were great! Entertainment staff was fun, but we did pick our location by the pool differently everyday. We wanted to relax some days so we stayed away from the entertainment site. But on days we wanted to meet people and have too much fun, we went to the main pool and had front row seats! Staff was attentive and blew our expectations out of the water!

This was our second trip to Cancun. Although our trip was fantastic, you can see how the economic downturn is impacting the tourism industry in Cancun. Many of the reviews bash the food. Here's the deal a buffet is not going to be gourmet! If you are expecting gourmet you will need to dig deeper into the wallet and don't go all-inclusive. However, GR Solaris does have a gourmet table service opportunity each evening if you make the reservations. I will say that for the price you can't find a better vacation.

Went in the swimming pool, drank in the pool, ate at all the restaurants that were there. There's nothing more I could ask for, it was the first time there. It was great. I would go back in a heart beat. Every single person in the staff was polite, nice, wonderful.

everything was clean but the food was just okay to me, lots that I didn't like to try.. we ate most meals on site but left for several day excursions.. we were tricked into a lengthy sales presentation and got out of it mid-way because I was very ill for the first 24 hrs of the trip.. we had a honeymoon suite and enjoyed a balcony and private jucuzzi.. the place was very nice although sound did travel through hallways and walls at any hours of the night although it was not a big problem for us
