Enjoyment at your own pace

Reviewed By LosCorreCaminos

After a week at Grand Solmar Rancho San Lucas, we changed our reservation elsewhere so that we could stay at second week at Rancho, and we are already planning our next trip back! After the first week of high activity (tours, trips on the shuttle into the bustle of Cabo San Lucas, resort activities, swimming), we changed our pace completely and had a week of relaxing and reading and watching the ocean waves. Rancho San Lucas gives you plenty of opportunity to set your own pace. It is a good fit for large families (we saw many multigenerational groups as well as young parents with small children). It is a great getaway for couples (honeymooners and those of us who celebrate decades together), as well as people traveling on their own. There was a wedding while we were there, held right on the beach. Rancho San Lucas is far from the loud late nightlife of town, but shuttles run back and forth from Lands End when you want time in CSL. Other reviews describe the facilities, the restaurants, the villas, the activities, and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. To add a few other thoughts -- This seems to be a comfortable place for people with limited mobility: there are few stairways, many ramps, and (I believe) all buildings have readily available elevators. When making reservations, we were told, you should ask for accessible accommodations. Most staff are fluent in both English and Spanish. Signage and menus are available in English. While we were there (early May), most guests seemed to be from the U.S. or Canada. Because the resort is right on the ocean, the temperature is variable. It would be best to bring layers of clothing, to prepare for both cooling winds and for hot days. We had both -- but no rain while we were there. The check-in staff and concierge were able to handle a large range of questions - not limited merely to reservations (onsite or off). The layout of the buildings and pools gives you a sense of space -- you can choose to be quiet and peaceful, or you can choose to be "where the action is"! There is an optional meal plan that should be booked before arrival for the discounted rate -- this covers dining in almost all the resort restaurants, tasting classes, discounts on the spa and tours, etc. It is worthwhile looking into the details. Because we enjoy coffee and breakfast on our own, we pre-ordered groceries to be delivered for us, and then had lunch/dinner in one of the restaurants. Basic groceries, wine, and spirits are available in the onsite market. The landscaping strives to showcase desert and xeric plantings. Cactus blooms were just starting while we were there - The pickleball court is open now and seems to have a beautiful ocean view. (And the golf course, of course). In the mid/late spring, bring a kite to fly along the beach. The previous reviews do provide a lot more information - but to summarize "come and enjoy it!' We did, and we will again.

Hands down to Hector Raga Sagrero. He was taking care of us all, party of 10, by pool area. He was so attentive and knew our room numbers and our regular drinks. We had our regular spot by pool and he waited on us with so much care. In return, we tipped him well because he worked so hard in making sure we enjoyed our stay.
