Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa

A relaxing wonderful week. We were warmly welcomed by Javier at the adult pool who went above and beyond to care for all the guests and made everyone feel at home. A beautiful place and excellent service!

Grand Solmar Lands End sits in one of the most spectacular locations imaginable — right on the Pacific side at Land’s End. If you could pop around the final rock at the edge of the property, you’d be staring at the famous Cabo Arch 🌊. The sand is soft, the surf dramatic, and the riptide is real — this beach is strictly black‑flagged for swimming 🚫🏊, and they make sure you sign acknowledgment forms several times. Despite that, we witnessed two rescues in four days! The resort spans eight or nine buildings, each in varying states of refurbishment. We stayed in Building 4, where the décor felt circa 1990s‑2000s. The suite itself was massive — a master bedroom with a king bed, walk‑in closet, makeup desk, and balcony; plus a full living room, dining area, kitchen, and second bath with its own balcony. Air‑conditioning was excellent ❄️ and the Wi‑Fi was strong throughout the property, which matters to me 📶. Still, maintenance details showed age: a green‑oxidized showerhead, a blackout curtain that wouldn’t fully close, chipped paint. These small flaws add up. The pools, however, are gorgeous — swim‑up bars, swim tables, and attentive staff 🏊‍♂️🍹. La Roca Restaurant earned its own separate Tripadvisor five‑star review from me, and the Asian restaurant and Las Brisas were also excellent with stunning views 🌅. Transportation policy cost them another star. Uber can drop you off at the lobby, but pickups require walking down to the gate “for safety.” When I walked down to the gate to pick up the Uber and tried to drive through to collect my wife (who has a bad back), they refused — even though I was already in the Uber. That felt less about safety and more about control 🚫🚗. Uber represents democratized transportation, and restricting it under those conditions is outdated thinking. Lastly, the timeshare pitch at check‑in was brief — about 90 seconds — and never repeated, which was a pleasant surprise 👍. In short: Grand Solmar Lands End is like an old spouse — the charm and history remain, but the shine has faded. For nostalgia, it’s lovely; for modern luxury, you might prefer the updated model.

Great place! We have been coming here for over 10 years and love it. The service is amazing! The restaurants are well coursed and have lots of options. Big spot light for special servers- Jose, Angel, Gregorio, and Felipe. They really take their time and make the experience!

Exceptional resort with lovely pools and great staff! I had the pleasure to be served by Tomas and Felipe at the sports bar, Angel and Jose at the pools and Gregorio at La roca. Every single one of them gave me 10/10 service.

Wanted to shout out employees after our week trip! Jose and Angel were our waiters at the pool and were so attentive and kind. Had a great experience at the pool. Was able to have wonderful conversations. Felipe is always so so nice every night and made every dinner feel personal and well cared about! Tomas as well was so wonderful and kept up with a ton of items ordered and shenanigans caused really appreciated him! got my hair cut by Laticia looked absolutely amazing I got 8-10 inches cut off and she asked lots of questions to make sure everything looked great!! Overall wonderful trip! Hope these employees get lots of love!! Thank you to all of them
