GR Caribe by Solaris

The staff was wonderful in every aspect. Very friendly and helpful.

We LOVED our stay at GR Caribe in every way, we are already planning our return trip. Highly recommend this location for a relaxing vacation.

The breakfast was great! Typical continental fare with some Mexican treats like enchiladas. Pastry and juice options were also wonderful. No complaints with the waiters who were all very friendly, engaging and attentive. The cocktails were ok, but the pina colada was consistently great! It is a beautiful property, intimate and quiet, but you get access to the larger, more populated Solaris property which is right beside GR Caribe. No complaints about the aethetics and breakfast. We also enjoyed the fine dining restaurants! Food and service in Marco Polo and Veneto were awesome.

If you are accustomed to authentic Mexican food, then you may enjoy the dinner variety in the main dining rooms. However, if your experience with Mexican food is north american or caribbean, you will not like the spread so much. We struggled to get a quesadilla or taco that was similar to that had outside of Mexico. North American/ Caribbean Mexican offerings tend to be a bit more flavorful. Also--beware of the concierge and team who will try to get you to purchase timeshare through club membership. You will spend three/ four hours being quizzed on how much you usually spend for vacation, shown what rooms you can get at a reduced rate only to be told that club membership costs over $10,000 USD with a 25% downpayment and hefty monthly instalments. You will still be required to pay airfare, nightly room rates with limited windows for travel in addition to that unconscionable membership fee. It really appears to scam you out of your money. They tell you that you get a free welcome club party in comparison to the $200 USD you pay to go to a club in Cancun (which is a lie by the way). When you decline, be prepared to receive two or three others pursuing you in quick succession, offering to lower the membership cost offer to cajole you into signing up. By the time we got to the third representative, he shaved off $9000 from the original offer, asking us to pay $940 plus the hefty monthly instalments. When we declined for the third time, we were quickly ushered out and met with aggression. BEWARE.
