Interval International has announced that it will add the Grand SolMar resort in Cabo San Lucas to its portfolio. Scheduled to begin construction in March, the oceanfront resort will be adjacent to the renowned Arch of Los Cabos at the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula.
According to Perspective Magazine, “Grand SolMar will include 250 villas with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and its landscaped gardens upon completion. Phase I of the project will include 104 units that are scheduled for occupancy in winter 2011 and phase II, which will have 96 additional units, is expected to be completed two years later. The final phase, with 50 units, is slated for occupancy in winter 2015.”
I worked for the SolMar group when I lived in Cabo some years ago and you can expect the Grand SolMar to be one of finest timeshares in II when it opens if they stay true to form. And I’m sure they will.
The SolMar group next built the beautiful Playa Grande just up the beach from the Sol Mar and is an exceptional resort to exchange to. It is bigger, has more amenities and definitely has the resort feel to it.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Cabo but you shouldn’t expect to find the crime and violence that’s occurring in the border towns near the US. The Sol Mar Beach Club used to have 24 hour security although I never felt it needed it. If you’re concerned you should call the resort directly and ask.
What you do need to be aware of is the very dangerous beach the Sol Mar Resorts are on. The beach is definitely not recommended for swimming. Many people have drowned there, so be warned. It is, however, one of the best beaches in the world from which to watch whales. Best time for that is February and March.
