The front desk was very accommodating to our early check-in and we headed down to the pools and bars. This ultra-modern design is a striking contrast to other resorts in Los Cabos. The roadside view gives you the impression of a giant industrial design meets children’s play blocks.
The lobby is open-air and inviting where you get your first glimpse of the natural landscaping and magnificent views. I am impressed with the use of local desert landscaping with a wide variety of desert cacti, aloes, grasses, elephant trees, and massive Cardon Cactus.
Our one-bedroom suite is generously sized and completely stocked with a living, room, dining, full kitchen, and bar. It has a smart room control for lighting, privacy, auto drapes, and a three area in-suite sound system using your smartphone for access all of your music. The bedroom had two beds and a nice bath en-suite and a second full bath for the living area. Oversized sliding glass dual pane doors shut out the sound and keep the room cool throughout our stay. Being November we are still getting some heat mid-day so we used the AC a few times. Really enjoyed the cooler evenings and opened up the suite to the large balcony overlooking the villas with their rooftop gardens. The whole space is open and inviting as well as perfectly private. At first, you see only green space until you realize the green is the rooftops of the lower units. We selected the tower which had a large Sea of Cortez views and amazing sunrises.
The copious amount of water features, sculptures, lounging areas, and pools are spread out through the massive property. It made discovering the grounds a long and joyous experience. The property is made up of three separate entities, the Luxury Collection hotel is a division of Bonvoy and we met many Marriott members enjoying this points-based resort. They have a wide variety of suites up to 3 bedrooms. The front row features a plunge pool and seemed to be the most popular of the hotel side of the resort.
The Signature Suites are the other side that is a private residence club and a member of Third Home a luxury second home exchange company. This is the side we are on and are using Third Home to stay here. Contact us or watch our videos on how Third Home transforms second homeownership. These are a combination of large 1, 2, and 3 bedroom suites each having the living, dining, and kitchens.
The far-left towers are the Solaz Residences and are simply amazing. Each floor is a large 5,000 sq foot condo villa. The top penthouses feature an amazing rooftop terrace that is like having your own resort on your roof. Outdoor kitchen, BBQ, lounging area, pool, and hot tub with panoramic views up and down the coast. They have sold out but have two on the resale market priced at $4.2 mil. The Penthouse features 8,000 sq ft of indoor-outdoor living.
There are 5 restaurants offering a wide variety of fresh seafood, Japanese and northern Italian. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety. The whole resort is pet friendly and we met so many dog lovers that wanted to pet Oakley. They are quite accommodating to our lifestyle. Since the grounds are so spread out we walked everywhere including the nice beach so exercise is easy. There is a state of the art gym, spa, and beach activities like volleyball, SUP, kayaks, and the new electric hydro boards. These look so cool but didn’t get around to it on this stay. The Southeast views make for ideal sunrises over the Sea of Cortez. Evenings are equally magical with the soft lighting illuminating the well-placed landscaping.
We loved our stay here so much that we have already booked another week next month. We were not alone in our positive review there are many repeat vacationers, happy owners of their residence club, and the tower residences. There are plans to build a tennis academy and stadium behind Solaz. The future looks bright for this 5-star resort in the corridor of Los Cabo’s.
