Where to spend September 15th in Cancún?

Visiting Cancún during the patriotic month is a guarantee of fun since you will find different activities for the whole family, you will taste different types of traditional Mexican dishes, you will find fireworks and the essential mariachi music in restaurants, bars and all-inclusive hotels in Cancún.

The celebration for September 15th is a national holiday, with days off that are ideal for a getaway to the beach and to celebrate in a big way in the variety of places available throughout the Cancún Hotel Zone, where you will surely have a great Mexican night.

What to do on September 15th in Cancún?

We share 6 great ideas to celebrate the Cry of Independence in Cancún during the upcoming long weekend:

1. Traditional Cry of Independence

The center of the patriotic festivities in Cancún is located at Plaza de la Reforma, with activities throughout September 15th that usually extend until 1:00 am the next day. The traditional Cry of Independence ceremony in Cancún is scheduled each year to take place at 10:50 pm.

The celebration concludes with a spectacular fireworks show at Plaza de la Reforma and throughout the Cancún Hotel Zone.

2. Mexican dinner in a Cancún restaurant

Throughout the Hotel Zone, you will find different restaurants with all kinds of gastronomic offerings, some with a view of the Caribbean Sea and others with a spectacular panoramic view of the Nichupté lagoon, which is illuminated with fireworks every night.

During the patriotic weekend, several of these restaurants add a Mexican touch to their cooking style and include different activities to celebrate. The following are some good examples to enjoy as a family:

  • Harry’s: During the month of September, they include typical Mexican cocktails and dishes on their menu. Additionally, on September 15th, they hold the typical Mexican night with live mariachi, all framed by a great view of the Nichupté lagoon.
  • CAO Marina Puerto Cancún: Offers a modern Mexican cuisine proposal that is ideal for spending the patriotic night. Located at the Marina of Puerto Cancún, here you will find mariachi music, fireworks, and a fun impersonator show.
  • La Buena Barra: With a menu full of typical Mexican dishes from the north of the country, in this gastronomic corner with a view of the lagoon, you can enjoy an evening in the company of traditional mariachi, tequilas, and mezcals.




3. Party all night

Cancún is world-famous for its nightlife, and during the most Mexican night of the year, the party extends throughout the entire weekend. If you are looking to celebrate by dancing, the most well-known nightclubs and bars within the Hotel Zone are Mandala, Coco Bongo, La Vaquita, The City, and Palazzo.

4. Mexican night aboard the Jolly Roger pirate ship

Enjoy the celebration of Mexico's Independence in a big way and give "El Grito" under the rain of fireworks aboard the Cancún Pirate Ship. This concept offers a patriotic party in pirate style; without a doubt, a different experience on the sea with all the classic Mexican amenities (typical food, mariachi, and tequila) for an approximate cost of $1,500 MXN for adults and $750 MXN for children.

5. Party on the beach

The beaches of Cancún could not be missing from the list, since you can perform different water activities on them during the day, but they are also the perfect setting at night to enjoy the fireworks after the "Grito" ceremony. The following are some of the beaches that we recommend for their influx, quality of services, and ease of access:

  • Chac Mool Beach
  • Delfines Beach
  • Marlín Beach
  • Tortugas Beach

Tip: All these beaches are free to access and have local food vendors, but it is an excellent idea to prepare a cooler with your own favorite drinks and snacks to enjoy the day to the fullest.

6. Mexican party at an all-inclusive hotel

When staying at an all-inclusive hotel in Cancún, you have access to multiple services and amenities in one place: from shows, themed games on the beach, and special dinners, to entertainment in the pool.

For example, at Solaris Hotels we celebrate the patriotic month with the classic Mexican "kermés," which includes fair games, typical food, and traditional drink bars with tastings of different tequilas, the essential tacos al pastor, and buffets with Mexican dishes and desserts.

During the night of September 15th, we provide a Mexican folkloric show with the broadcast of the Cry of Independence, tricolor flags, interactive frames for souvenir photos, and the traditional piñata full of candy.

The 8 most Instagrammable places in Los Cabos
20/11/2025

The 8 most Instagrammable places in Los Cabos

Los Cabos and its surroundings offer impressive settings to take fantastic photos worthy of posting on your Instagram account, where you can capture natural landscapes, wildlife, architecture, and the culture of the region.

Prepare your smartphone or favorite camera with enough memory so that, during your next vacation, you can get the best shots for your profile. Here is a guide to the places you cannot miss during your vacation in Los Cabos:

1. Whale Watching

Every year, thousands of tourists flock to this area of the Pacific to observe the majestic arrival of the whales, mainly during the months of December to April. To do this, you must take a tour in one of the small boats that depart from the marina, which will take you to see these giants of the ocean up close.

Tip: Bring a protective bag for your camera or cell phone to prevent damage in case the whales splash water; this way, you can have your equipment ready at all times without worry.





2. The Arch of Cabo San Lucas

It is probably one of the most photographed areas in Los Cabos, so a touch of creativity will be necessary to take an uncommon photograph. To achieve this, you can choose to take a tour at sunrise or bring a waterproof camera to take shots from different angles than those obtained from the boat.

Depending on the tide and the time of year, you will see a spectacular mix of colors on the rocks, the sand, and the sea. Complete your photo tour by visiting Lover's Beach, a magical place among the rocks that can only be accessed by sea.

3. Art Walk in San José del Cabo

If art is your thing, don't forget to visit Plaza Mijares and the Gallery District in San José del Cabo, as you will find bohemian streets with various art galleries, as well as local vendors with picturesque crafts. This is an excellent option to connect and capture shots of the local culture.

Tip: Between the months of November and June, the famous San José del Cabo Art Walk takes place, which features special events at different galleries in the area.

4. Camel Safari

You can explore the Baja California desert on the back of a camel; an unusual experience where the dromedaries pose with you in the desert landscapes with cacti and endemic flora of the region. If you have filters for your camera lens, bring them, as direct sunlight can make some of your shots difficult.

How much does the camel ride in Los Cabos cost? The average cost is around $80 USD for adults and $55 USD for children.

5. Beaches of Los Cabos

The sunrises and sunsets on the beaches of Los Cabos will frame incredible photos, where the classic images of you enjoying a good margarita or your favorite cocktail by the sea cannot be missing. The following are some of the most Instagrammable beaches due to their landscapes:

  • El Médano Beach
  • Chileno Beach
  • Lover's Beach
  • Divorce Beach

Tip: Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach are connected within a small rocky area; the former has very calm waters, while the latter has rough waves where swimming is not allowed under any circumstances.

6. San José del Cabo Bird Sanctuary

This natural oasis is home to a large number of bird species, as well as fish and reptiles. Here you can take photographs of more than 250 bird species such as black-crowned night herons, egrets, pelicans, frigatebirds, or red-tailed hawks. Additionally, a plus for capturing good images is that you can take the tour through interactive trails or aboard a kayak.

7. Cabo Pulmo National Park

Just an hour away, on the outskirts of Los Cabos, you will find this national park full of impressive natural landscapes and a wide variety of wildlife. It is not for nothing that this natural jewel is known worldwide as "the aquarium of the world."

It is recommended that you bring a waterproof camera, such as a GoPro, to try snorkeling or scuba diving and take spectacular photos in one of the largest and oldest coral reefs in the world.

8. A Day of Sport Fishing

The Los Cabos area is a great place for sport fishing, as it has monumental specimens such as swordfish, as well as equipped boats where you can relax while practicing the sport. Whether during the trip on the sea or upon catching a fish, you will be able to take excellent pictures during your trip.

Another great idea is to fish from a luxury sailboat to have a photogenic sunset experience, where you can enjoy sparkling wine, cocktails, and premium food while watching the horizon.

4 must-see aerial tours in Cancún for your next beach vacation

4 must-see aerial tours in Cancún for your next beach vacation

During your next beach vacation, you can take an aerial tour or try an extreme activity from the air for a spectacular panoramic view of the sea and the areas near Cancún.

Among the many activities you can do in Cancún, can you imagine touring its spectacular beaches from the air? This is possible as there are various activities available that will give you a different and spectacular perspective of the Hotel Zone and its surroundings. Here, we tell you about the main aerial tour options in Cancún.

What are the best places for aerial tours in Cancún?

1. Light aircraft tours





During light aircraft tours departing from the Cancún airport, you can visit various areas of the Caribbean Sea, including the Cancún Hotel Zone, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, or one of the nearby archaeological sites such as Chichén Itzá, to enjoy different landscapes.
Via Instagram: Vuelatour

Sunset in a light aircraft in Cancún
Although watching the sunset from a beach in Cancún is a great spectacle, doing it from the air is an unforgettable activity. You can take an aerial tour that will take you over the beaches of Cancún just about 30 minutes before sunset, so you will be able to appreciate the gradual way the sun sets and the lights of the Hotel Zone begin to turn on.

Tip: Most tours include Hotel – Cancún Airport – Hotel transfer. Please note that it is necessary to cover an airport tax of $10 USD per person.

This tour is ideal for spending a romantic moment, as you can find trips that include 1 bottle of wine on board during the 45-minute flight for a cost of approximately $550 USD per couple. If you are traveling with family, you can take the same tour for up to 9 passengers for a cost of $880 USD.

Aerial tour from Cancún to Chichén Itzá
During this aerial tour, you will fly over the thick jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula, where you will find the structures of the ancient Maya civilization, Chichén Itzá. This destination is a must-see during your vacation to Cancún, as you can take many photos of the iconic pyramid.

Tip: You can also take the night tour to see the light and sound show “Noches de Kukulcán,” which takes place over the Mayan buildings.

The tour, in a Cessna 206 type aircraft, for up to 5 passengers, has an approximate cost of $900 USD for a duration of nearly 6 hours and generally includes access to the Chichén Itzá area, entrance to the Ik Kil cenote, a guide, and Hotel – Airport – Hotel transfers.

2. Helicopter ride in Cancún
The helicopter tour offers a panoramic view of the Nichupté Lagoon, the Hotel Zone, Isla Mujeres, the biosphere reserve, the bird sanctuary of the famous Isla Contoy, and, of course, over the beaches of Cancún where you will be able to fully appreciate the coral reefs.

The helicopter ride in Cancún, in a Robinson 66 model, has an average cost of $700 USD for 4 people on a trip that lasts approximately 45 minutes.

3. Parasailing in Cancún
Parasailing, popularly known as “parachute,” is an aerial activity in which a parachute propels you and keeps you in the air while a motorboat tows you over the sea. This allows you to have a 360-degree view of the landscape, so you can enjoy an aerial view at a shorter distance from the beach than you would have from a helicopter or light aircraft.

How many meters does parasailing go up? On average, you rise to about 80 meters in height.

The tour has an average cost of $65 USD per person for a trip of approximately 15 minutes. It is not necessary to know how to swim since you are equipped with a life jacket.

4. Skydiving in Cancún





If extreme activities are your thing, you can choose to do a tandem jump from a light aircraft—that is, a 40-second free fall and an approximately 8-minute parachute descent, strapped to a jump instructor.

How much does it cost to skydive in Cancún? The price of this jump is around $250 USD per person.

To experience the true flavor of Baja California Sur, be sure to include the following culinary delights in your travel itinerary:

1. Chocolate Clams:
Due to its natural richness, in Los Cabos you can find different types of clams; but, in the Baja California peninsula, you can find a large number of the favorites of many: the chocolate clams, which get this name due to the characteristic color of their shell.



These are large in size and can be served in different presentations, whether marinated, pickled or roasted. The preparation of roasted clams is unique to the Baja California Sur area, as they are placed on a bed of stones and covered with a variety of branches and dry herbs which are then set on fire.

Tip: Every year at the beginning of June, the Chocolate Clam Festival is held in the Magical Town of Loreto, in Baja California Sur.

2. Chicken "fajados" tamales and Güemes tamales:

Guide to planning the best beach wedding without overspending
20/07/2025

Guide to planning the best beach wedding without overspending

Planning a beach wedding in a heavenly and romantic destination without going over your budget can be easier than you think, as with proper planning you can carry out the event of your dreams.

If you are thinking about celebrating your wedding on the beach, you may be worried about your budget, but you can put this concern aside by taking into account the following tips that will allow for proper planning, considering certain aspects to hold a memorable celebration without having to include unexpected expenses that exceed it.

How to plan a beach wedding without spending so much?

To achieve the ideal event while taking care of your finances, we recommend following these key steps during the organization:

1. Establish your budget:
The starting point for any event is to set a budget that works smoothly for you. First, determine how much money you want to spend and second, think about what you want to distribute that amount on for your wedding: whether you want live music or a DJ, what type of decoration you prefer, how many people will attend, the location, and the type of organization (whether it is in a hall by the sea, in a garden, or in an all-inclusive hotel).

The third step is to start getting quotes while considering the best options according to your budget. For example, while researching locations, check prices during low season versus high season; this will greatly help you choose the right date.

2. Choose the best location:
Choosing the right beach can make a big difference in the success of the event. Consider the best time of year, taking into account the weather and the number of visitors to the area. It is very important that before deciding on a destination, you visit the location, whether it is an event hall by the sea or a beachfront hotel, so that you have a clear idea of how and where your event will take place.





3. Hire a local Wedding Planner:
If you don't live near the location you chose, the best idea to relieve the stress of planning from a distance is to hire a local expert who will help you mediate with different types of providers, both for the banquet and for the music, decoration, beach wedding altar, etc.

A professional helps you find different options that fit your budget. Furthermore, a planner not only facilitates communication but also means that you will have a team familiar with the venue and the event schedules to ensure that your beach wedding goes off without a hitch.

4. Book everything in advance:
While the wedding planner can offer you different options of providers at different prices, booking the venue, musical group, banquet, and decoration at least 10 months in advance (more than a year is ideal) will allow you to have more options. Good providers who offer better prices are naturally more in demand.



Also, if you choose a popular destination during the high season, it is likely that the price will go up as availability runs out. Book as soon as you find a rate you feel comfortable with.

What is the best month for a beach wedding? The answer is between April and May, during the period at the end of Easter week and the beginning of summer vacation, as it is considered low season and the weather is mild, outside of hurricane season.

5. Optimize your guest list:
The number of attendees will determine the cost of your wedding, since usually, the halls or all-inclusive hotels where the event will take place set rates based on the number of guests. It is very important that from the beginning you decide how many people you will invite and do not exceed this number, especially on the day of the event with surprise guests. Access by invitation only!



Electronic invitations are a creative way to optimize costs, as they will remain as a memory stored in the cloud and best of all... you will save on printing and shipping expenses.

Tip: Don't leave creativity aside when sending your virtual invitations; include a photo session, places of interest near the event, as well as key accommodation recommendations.

On the other hand, ensure your guests' attendance by requesting an electronic confirmation with their flight ticket in hand, setting a maximum period of two months before the wedding to confirm.

6. Create a backup plan for bad weather:
Having a backup plan will help you avoid headaches during the day of the event and, most importantly, will allow you to act quickly in the face of any frequent inconvenience without overspending.

For example, if the wedding is outdoors, you can request a quote for a tent for the day of the event in case of rain, electric heaters in case of a cold front, or a free acrylic dance floor in case of high humidity, so that your guests do not slip.

Tip: Consider holding the ceremony at sunset so that the party takes place during the night, when it is less likely that the weather will interfere negatively.

7. Consider an all-inclusive hotel:
Whether you are looking for a simple beach wedding or a very large event, you can hold your celebration at an all-inclusive hotel, as it will allow you to have everything in one place and at a defined price: from accommodation, unlimited drinks and food, as well as an ideal location facing the sea, without the need to travel to arrive or leave at night after the party. You will usually find packages with a set cost based on the number of guests.





In the family-friendly all-inclusive hotels in Cancun and Los Cabos by Hoteles Solaris, you will find the best option for holding your beach wedding, as we have a team of experts and the facilities to design the wedding of your dreams.

What do you need and where can you surf in Los Cabos?
20/06/2025

What do you need and where can you surf in Los Cabos?

Los Cabos, in addition to being a destination famous for its climate and spectacular landscapes, is the perfect place for surfing, whether you are an expert or just starting out in this sport, as you will find different areas along the coast with different types of waves.

The Los Cabos area is the preferred vacation destination for surfers, as thousands of lovers of this sport visit its beaches every year in search of the perfect wave. Therefore, whether you want to get on a surfboard for the first time or are looking to demonstrate all your experience, we tell you which are the best beaches in Los Cabos and everything you need to achieve it.

Where to surf in Los Cabos?

Below, we share some of the best beaches for taming the waves, divided according to the experience level required:

  • Playa Monumentos: This beach in eastern Los Cabos, with a Blue Flag distinction, is a place for more experienced surfers, as it has a left-hand break point that can be a bit tricky. You will find it at kilometer 6.5 of the Cabo San Lucas tourist corridor. Level: Advanced.
  • Zipper's Beach: This is probably the most world-renowned beach for surfing in Los Cabos, as it is the site of multiple competitions for this sport. Here you will find a fast and entertaining right-hand wave break due to the mouth of a nearby river. Find it at kilometer 28, Costa Azul, via Costa Azul Bridge. Level: Intermediate - Advanced.




Tip: Keep in mind that, being a world-renowned beach, Zipper's is very crowded, so you will have to patiently earn your place in the water.

  • Costa Azul: Next to Zipper's Beach you will find this beach where you can find everything necessary to practice your skills on the waves, including board rentals and guided lessons. Level: Intermediate.
  • Playa Santa Lucía de los Cerritos: It has waves that are ideal both for experts who want to practice their balance and for beginners. For the latter, there are a couple of surf schools available where you can learn the basics to get started. To get to this destination, you need to take the road that takes you from the Los Cabos area to Todos Santos. Level: Beginner.

During the winter, the waves can be especially larger on this beach, but they still maintain an ideal size for beginners who want to take their experience to the next level.





What is the best season to surf in Los Cabos?

You can surf in Los Cabos during any season of the year. However, due to the behavior of the waves, spring and summer are the best time to practice in the Sea of Cortez area, while autumn and winter are the ideal seasons to do so on the Pacific Ocean side of Los Cabos.

What is needed to surf?

Do you want to surf for the first time or do you need a checklist so you don't forget anything? We share the 5 basic elements that you should not forget when packing your luggage or when searching in the multiple rental shops in the Los Cabos area:

1. Surfboard:
It is essential for practicing the sport. Before choosing one, consider your level and experience; for example, for beginners, it is recommended to use a large board, since the so-called longboards are the best for taking your first steps. Also, foam boards allow you to catch waves easily and prevent you from getting hurt if you fall.

2. Leash:
Leashes are used to prevent the board from getting too far away from you. They are tied to the ankle of the leg you put behind when you stand up and it is important to ensure it is at least as long as your surfboard.

3. Wetsuit:
Ideal for when the water temperature is low or you spend a lot of time in it. Suits with higher thickness in millimeters will protect you more from the cold, while thinner ones are used for warm climates, giving you greater freedom of movement.

4. Wax:
It is applied to the deck of the surfboard in order to provide greater grip for your feet and prevent you from slipping easily when you stand up.

Beach skincare Tips for sunbathing without problems

Beach skincare Tips for sunbathing without problems

Before enjoying a great day at the beach under the sun, it is necessary to take certain precautions for the care of your skin, with the aim of avoiding burns, blemishes, and other types of problems that are easy to prevent with a care and hydration routine.

Spending the day at the beach with your favorite drink in hand while enjoying the sun is a great vacation plan, but direct exposure to the sun without applying protection to the skin can represent a great risk and cause discomfort, whether due to burns or the appearance of blemishes on the skin.

For this reason, we give you some tips to prepare your skin and to keep it in good condition before, during, and after your visit to the beach:

1. Skin care before the beach

Consume vitamin C:
Vitamin C helps you protect yourself from blemishes and will provide you with a little extra protection against the sun, because ultraviolet light helps oxidation, causing significant damage to skin tissue. In this case, vitamin C helps neutralize the effects of oxidation and maintain collagen in the skin.



Avoid exfoliating your skin a few days before:
If you are planning your trip to the beach, avoid exfoliants at least a couple of days before, because they help remove dead skin cells, which causes your dermis to thin a little, making it more susceptible to sun damage.

Tip: Avoid waxing at least 24 hours before sunbathing at the beach, especially on the face, as this practice removes a layer of skin, which can also cause greater sensitivity and sun damage.

2. Skin care at the beach

To enjoy the sand and the sun to the fullest, take into account the following measures for the care of your body, without leaving aside the classic tips of looking for a place with shade or wearing a hat or cap to cover your face while you swim in the sea:

Use sunscreen:
Sunscreen should be applied everywhere, not just on the face, legs, arms, and chest. Therefore, don't forget to apply it to your ears, feet, and hands. Also remember that sunscreen does not last all day, so you should reapply it at least every 2 hours and after getting out of the water or drying off with a towel.

Opt for a zinc oxide-based sunscreen, as it is the only Ultra Violet (UV) filter that provides broad-spectrum protection on its own, acting effectively against UVA and UVB rays.

Hydrate your skin with aloe vera:
Creams with aloe vera are not only a great ally against sunburn, as applying it before sunbathing also helps you hydrate your skin more and prevent damage.

Tip: If you notice that your skin becomes a little drier under the sun's rays, apply a little aloe vera to the areas of the body with the greatest exposure.

Use swimsuits with UV protection:
There are different types of swimsuits for men and women, which incorporate a fabric called UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) with microparticles of titanium or zinc oxide that absorb radiation, acting as a sunscreen against UVA and UVB radiation.



Tip: The maximum rating for this fabric is UPF 50+, which provides a block of more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

Drink plenty of water:
Make sure to drink enough water before, during, and after going to the beach. Hydrated skin starts from within, so staying constantly hydrated will help you show off great skin.

3. How to care for your skin after the beach

After enjoying the beach, you must replenish all the moisture that the sun absorbed. Start by cleaning your skin properly, removing all particles of sand and sunscreen, and be sure to do so using a gentle bath gel. Avoid rubbing your skin with sponges, as they can cause irritation.

Afterward, make sure to follow a moisturizing routine using refreshing and antioxidant ingredients like aloe vera gel or products with vitamin C that help reverse UV ray damage.

Tip: How to take care of your skin after sunbathing? If your skin is very dry after your day at the beach, apply a facial mask overnight to add moisture to your face. Keep the mask in the refrigerator before going to the beach so that when you return, it not only provides its normal benefits but is also very refreshing.

Assemble your skin care kit

It is a good idea to pack the following essential products for your skin care before, during, and after your visit to the beach in your suitcase:

  • Sunscreen
  • Aloe vera gel
  • Moisturizing cream with vitamin C
  • Burn relief cream
  • Facial cleanser
  • Body lotion
  • Lip balm




Are you already planning your next vacation? Now that you know how to care for your skin at the beach, pack your suitcase for your next vacation and choose one of the Solaris Hotels as your destination, the best option for family hotels in Cancun and Los Cabos. We provide you with all the comforts so you can have a great stay, whether under the sun of the Caribbean Sea or the sun of the Pacific Ocean.

Discover the best places to celebrate New Year's in Cancún

Welcoming the new year on one of the paradisiacal beaches of Cancún can be an unforgettable experience because, in addition to the impressive landscapes, you will be able to enjoy a festive atmosphere in a variety of places, ideal for celebrating with your family or friends.

Cancún is famous for its spectacular beaches and the festive atmosphere that increases with New Year's Eve celebrations, thanks to the different options of restaurants, bars, and family hotels in Cancún that offer shows and special dinners to welcome the arrival of the new year in an original and fun way.

For this reason, we share with you some of the best options for you to welcome the new year on the beaches of Cancún in style:

1. New Year's Eve on the beach

How would you like to welcome the new year on the beach with fireworks, framing the beginning of a new cycle? You can do this in Cancún because, despite it being the winter season, you can enjoy a warm atmosphere during the night of December 31st and contemplate the classic fireworks display that takes place at 12 midnight throughout the entire Cancún Hotel Zone.





Which is the best beach to spend New Year's Eve?

The following are some beaches that have all the necessary services for you to enjoy your New Year's Eve night:

  • Playa Delfines: You can find this beach at kilometer 18 of Kukulcan Boulevard within the Hotel Zone, where the Instagrammable Cancún sign is located.
  • Playa Forum: It is located next to the Forum Plaza, within the Cancún Hotel Zone, so you will find several famous bars and restaurants a few meters away, such as Coco Bongo, which makes it the favorite beach for those looking for a party.
  • Playa Chac Mool: Located at kilometer 10 of Kukulcan Boulevard, in the Cancún Hotel Zone, you will find this paradise, a favorite for surfers.

Tip: Take precautions by avoiding swimming in the sea at night because several beaches do not have lifeguard service during those hours.

2. New Year's Eve dinner at Cancún restaurants

A good option to spend the new year in Cancún is from one of the famous restaurants in the area, whether with a view of the Nichupté lagoon or with a view of the Caribbean Sea from the marina. Within the Hotel Zone, you will find different gastronomic options, both national and international, with a concept and decoration according to the occasion.

There are many options available, but you can check the Diners' Choice list for Cancún made by the Open Table portal, which recognizes the following restaurants:

  • Thai & Elefanta
  • Kai Cancún
  • Harry's Cancún Prime Steakhouse & Raw Bar

  • Navios
  • Ruth's Chris Steak House Cancún

Another fun option: Opt for themed dinners such as the one held aboard the Jolly Roger pirate ship, where you can welcome the new year aboard a royal galleon and watch the midnight fireworks over the Nichupté lagoon.

3. New Year's Eve at a Cancún nightclub

Now, if what you are looking for is a party all night long, you will find some good options on the emblematic kilometer 9.5 of Kukulcan Boulevard, within the Hotel Zone, as this place is home to some of the best nightclubs in Cancún such as Coco Bongo Cancún, Mandala, The City, Cuncrawl, or Palazzo.

New Year's Eve at an all-inclusive hotel in Cancún

Visiting an all-inclusive hotel during the end of the year is one of the best options because, once you have your reservation, all that is left is to enjoy.

Guide to finding the best beach club in Cancún
12/03/2025

Guide to finding the best beach club in Cancún

In the Cancún Hotel Zone, you will find different beach clubs along the turquoise strip of the Caribbean Sea, but although most offer similar services and attractions, not all are the same.

The sea and beaches of Cancún are famous for their great weather and spectacular turquoise color, but imagine spending a day at a spot on the beach designed for you to enjoy the place to the fullest, set with music, shows, entertainers, pool parties, drinks, and food, all within your reach.

For this reason, we will tell you about some aspects you should consider to choose the ideal beach club for you:

First, what is a beach club and how does it work?

A beach club consists of a spot on the seashore, similar to the one offered by most all-inclusive hotels in the Cancún Hotel Zone, where you will find different amenities, which we can divide into two large blocks:

What should a good beach club have?

Facilities:

  • Pool
  • Sunbeds at the pool and beach
  • Restaurant
  • Bar
  • Towel service
  • Showers, restrooms, and dressing rooms

Entertainment:

  • Music
  • Waiters
  • Shows
  • Entertainment staff
  • Pool party
  • Bartender

The idea is that upon arriving at the place, you enjoy the beach and these amenities, in some cases with an entrance fee plus consumption, and in other cases, the entrance fee already includes the cost of drinks. The cost depends a lot on the place and the amenities, since some, for example, have renowned DJs or mixologists and others have luxury facilities.

Tip: How to dress at a beach club? Opt for a casual outfit with a swimsuit, beachwear, sandals, and a cap. For women, skirts, bags, and hats are a great option, but the idea is to be as comfortable as possible, avoiding the use of sportswear that looks too informal.

What are the best beach clubs in Cancún?

Now that you know everything a good beach club should have, we will tell you about some characteristics of the most famous and renowned places in Cancun:

Mandala Beach Club Cancún

This is probably the most famous beach club in Cancún because it is synonymous with partying, just like the bar of the same name, only in this case you can enjoy the music by the sea until 5:30 in the afternoon, while you try a cocktail prepared by artisanal mixologists.

Tip: You can book your spot from their website, with access prices ranging from $65 USD per person to $1,500 USD for a bed for up to 8 people.

The Club is located in the most famous club zone of Cancún, on the famous kilometer 9.5 of Kukulcan Boulevard in the Cancún Hotel Zone.

Coco's Beach Club Cancún

In this Club located on kilometer 16.5 of the Cancún Hotel Zone, you will find everything you need to relax on the shore of the Caribbean Sea while you enjoy the resident DJ of the place.

Source: Coco Bongo

Coco Bongo Beach Party

Just like Coco Bongo, their beach club is a guarantee of partying and fun, but in this concept, it is during the day and on the seashore with acrobatic performances, musical shows, and drinks, all from the pool and the place's restaurant bar. Like Mandala, it is located on kilometer 9.5 of the Cancún Hotel Zone.

Tip: You can buy access tickets online, with a cost between $55 USD and $85 USD, both with an open bar.

Chicabal Sunset Club

Located in the Marina del Rey on Kukulcan Boulevard in the Hotel Zone, in this place with a relaxed atmosphere, you will find excellent food and different types of drinks, with a schedule that extends on Fridays until 3 am.



Solaris Beach Club

By staying at the Solaris Hotels in Cancún, you will find everything you need to have fun, as they have pools within the complex, sunbeds and palapas on the beach, as well as different types of activities, games, and music on the beach, while you enjoy your favorite drinks and snacks.

Now that you know everything you need to choose the best beach club in Cancún, you can opt to stay at The Solaris Hotels, your best option for family hotels in Cancún, as you will find everything you need in one place, with fun in front of one of the best beaches of the Caribbean Sea.

6 ideas for the best marriage proposal on the beach
25/02/2025

6 ideas for the best marriage proposal on the beach

There are few places as romantic as the beach to make a marriage proposal, so whether your style is super romantic, unique and eccentric, or private and intimate, you have various options to carry it out to your liking and get a yes from your partner.

The beach is one of the best places to propose, framed by the sea, within a festive setting. For this reason, if you are about to carry out this important event on the beach, we share some great ideas to help you get a yes from your partner:

How to make a marriage proposal on the beach?

1. Dinner on the beach
2. Write it in the sand
3. Message in a bottle on the beach
4. Surprise celebration
5. Picnic on the beach
6. Sign on a light aircraft

1. Dinner on the beach





With a table and special decoration, with romantic details by the sea, framed by the sunset, it is the classic yet great way to start this list. When the time is right, get down on one knee and enjoy what will surely be the most romantic meal.

We recommend having music, either with a speaker or by arranging for a group of musicians to show up on the beach and play a song that becomes iconic to your relationship. Perhaps the idea for your first dance at the wedding will be born here.

2. Write it in the sand
Another classic, but effective and romantic, the idea is to take a walk along the beach until you reach the point where the sign "will you marry me?" is written on the sand.

Just make sure your sign is far enough away from the sea. You can join and complete this plan with a romantic dinner on the beach. Also, don't limit yourself to just one sign; make a path with several romantic messages that lead to the final proposal message.

How to make an original marriage proposal?

3. Message in a bottle on the beach
To play with the location, you can carry a bottle with a message inside. The idea is to walk along the beach and, when you reach the location where the photographer and the music will appear, you approach the sea and take out the bottle. Take a few steps away from the sea so you can kneel without getting wet, while your partner unrolls the mysterious message and you make the proposal.

Tip: You can also write on the paper inside the bottle a list of reasons why you fell in love with your partner, including the question at the end.

4. Surprise celebration
You can include several family members or friends in your proposal by holding a party, gathering, or dinner on the beach with everyone. You can assign a task to each member, such as singing your partner's favorite song, showing different types of signs, or forming a path out of nowhere so you can make the proposal in front of everyone. Once you have succeeded, you can continue the party on the beach.

5. Picnic on the beach





A picnic-style breakfast or lunch on the beach is ideal for surprising your partner, as a very elaborate dinner can give clues about the future proposal. In this case, you need to carry everything you need in a single basket and consider the best times for this event, since at peak hours with many people on the beach, the romance can be lost.

Tip: A sunrise can be just as romantic as a sunset; plus, the morning beach won't be as crowded as it is in the afternoon or evening, so with a little planning, you can have the whole beach to yourselves.

6. Sign on a light aircraft
This plan requires more planning, budget, and effort, but it will be worth it. First, you have to plan the time and place to propose, pay for the sign and include the personalized message, so that when your partner sees it, they will know and identify without a problem who it is addressed to.

This proposal is also great if you are having a bonfire on the beach or a picnic with family and friends with whom you will share the moment.

How to give the ring on the beach?

Having a local expert or event professional on your side can help calm nerves and create a contingency plan. Whether you decide to do it alone or enlist the help of an expert planner, keep the following tips in mind to ensure your beach marriage proposal goes the best it can:

Explore the proposal spots
Check the privacy of the spot, the aesthetic background for photos, and, most importantly, prioritize any location that has a special or sentimental meaning for you and your partner.

Try to propose away from the water
A wave while you are on your knees can complicate the proposal; plus, with nerves, heat, and shaking hands, the ring could end up in the water. It is best to take several steps away from the water before taking out the engagement ring.

Hire a photographer
This is a great idea to capture the moment flawlessly, as a professional can have the right equipment for different weather surprises.

Consider a Plan B
To avoid any problems, it is necessary that you have a second option in case the first one is not possible to carry out. Take into account the weather, the time of sunrise and sunset, the temperature, and the number of people who will be on the beach.

You can rent a boat to practice this sport, which will have all the necessary equipment. The price depends on the size of the boat; for example, one between 30 to 35 feet long will cost between $400 USD to $1,000 USD for a day for 5 passengers.

6. Road trip to Cabo Pulmo



In Cabo Pulmo National Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can snorkel over the only living reef on the Pacific coast of the continent. The drive from Los Cabos will take you about 2 hours on the road, so it is recommended to rent a car to enjoy a fun family road trip.

These activities will take up most of the day, but they will be 100% worth it.

How much does an all-inclusive weekend getaway to Cancún for two cost?
15/02/2025

How much does an all-inclusive weekend getaway to Cancún for two cost?

The cost of a weekend getaway to Cancún, staying at an all-inclusive hotel with round-trip flights for 2 people, has an average price of $15,000 MXN for a couple of nights of lodging from Friday to Sunday.

Whether you are planning a romantic getaway or simply need a moment of relaxation as a couple after a busy week, we share all the expenses you should consider so you can calculate the cost of your all-inclusive trip to Cancún for two people:

Create a trip plan to Cancún

To create your trip plan, you first need to consider the cost of arriving at your destination. Buying a plane ticket with little advance notice can be more expensive than purchasing it at least a couple of months before your trip. Also, take into account the different airlines that fly to the Caribbean and the class in which you wish to travel.

Which airlines take me to Cancún?
The Cancún International Airport receives daily flights from 3 of the main Mexican airlines (VivaAerobus, Volaris, and Aeroméxico), with average round-trip prices departing from Mexico City of $3,400 MXN per person.

However, the cost depends largely on when you buy your ticket, as you can sometimes find good promotions or, conversely, higher rates if you travel during peak season.

Tip: Some airlines show lower prices on their websites on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so it is a good idea to monitor your flights during these days.

What should an all-inclusive hotel have?

The best option for a weekend express trip as a couple is to add your flights to your all-inclusive hotel package, as you can usually also add round-trip airport-hotel-airport transfers.

One of the best all-inclusive family hotels in Cancún can offer you, in addition to lodging, a wide variety of amenities: from unlimited food and drinks to nightly shows and theme parties. This is complemented by options such as beach sports activities, dance classes, or 24-hour room service.





How much does an all-inclusive weekend package to Cancún cost?

The cost of this package, considering round-trip flights for 2 people departing from Mexico City, with airport-hotel-airport transportation, and all-inclusive lodging from Friday to Sunday at the Hotel Royal Solaris, has an average total cost of $15,000 MXN.

Tip: By booking directly from the hotel's page, you will find better prices and exclusive promotions (such as an upgrade in room type) than by doing so through an agency or a generic travel website.

What to do on a weekend in Cancún with your partner?

Now that you have everything you need to choose the best all-inclusive package, you can also consider some activities outside the resort to complement your getaway:

  • Romantic dinner facing the lagoon: Spend a special night at a restaurant on the shores of the Nichupté lagoon to enjoy local gastronomy and fireworks.
  • Party night: Go out to dance and have fun at the famous Coco Bongo or enjoy the daytime atmosphere at Mandala Beach Club.
  • Extreme adventure: Experience a nighttime adrenaline rush in places like Xcaret's Xplor Fuego park, which is located about an hour away from the Hotel Zone.

If you decide to have a romantic dinner outside the hotel, among the many options available, we recommend booking at one of the following outstanding restaurants:

  • La Habichuela
  • Du Mexique
  • Ilios Cancún
  • Rosa Negra
  • Peter´s
  • Marakame
  • Puerto Madero

Beach games to have the most fun on your vacation
10/02/2025

Beach games to have the most fun on your vacation

There are many ways to have fun at the beach, from playing a sport like beach volleyball, completing a challenge to find hidden treasure, flying a kite, or using one of the different game kits designed specifically for the beach.

Spend quality time with your family and friends during a beach trip by playing different games and activities while enjoying the sun, sand, and sea. For this reason, we share some options for you to have maximum fun during your next beach vacation, just remember to wear your sunscreen!:

What can you play at the beach with friends?

You can play different games, whether by improvising or buying some of the kits available on the market, specifically designed for the beach, such as the following:

1. Tidal Ball
To play this game, you need a kit with golf-sized balls and a small sand shovel. The idea is to dig a hole in the sand and a curved trench behind it. The next step is to walk 10 paces away from the hole to make a second hole.

This way, there will be a team or opponents on each side. Each team takes turns rolling or throwing the ball toward the opponent's hole or trench.

A ball placed inside the trench zone is worth one point, and a ball in the hole is worth three points. The goal of the game is to score as many points as you can, but you can vary the scoring and the final objective.





2. Spikeball
Similar to beach volleyball, but in this case, you bounce the ball on a mini-trampoline instead of over a net. Two teams of two players each compete in this game. Each team takes three turns to bounce the ball on the net and return it to the other team.

If your team does not return the ball to the net after three touches, the other team receives a point. You can learn all the rules and variations on the game's website in Mexico.

3. Frisbee Toss
A game of Frisbee at the beach is not complicated to organize; all you need is a flying disc and to set up your teams at a certain distance. This game is a great alternative if you visit the beach with your pet.

What are the sports played at the beach?

There is nothing like forming a team with your family or friends to play one of the following sports, which, although they require equipment such as balls, rackets, or nets, will provide you with hours of fun at the beach:

  • Beach soccer
  • American football
  • Beach tennis (Racket)
  • Beach volleyball
  • Water polo
  • Badminton




Tip: Be careful not to hurt yourself when running and changing direction abruptly on the sand, as it is easy to twist your ankle on this surface.

What to do at the beach with the family?

1. Beach ball race
This game is ideal for children, and you will only need a sturdy beach ball. Players must sit on top of the beach ball, balance their bodies, and reach the finish line when the signal to start is given.

2. Treasure hunt
The game can be very simple but fun, as the idea is to hide an item somewhere on the beach, leaving clues at different points, with riddles, challenges to complete to receive an answer, or maps drawn on the sand. The game does not have to be limited to a single item as a treasure; you can create a map with several treasures so that the person who accumulates the most is the winner.

3. Flying a kite
Flying kites is something you can plan well before your beach day so that all your family members can participate. You can also make a handmade kite at your hotel.

Tip: What do you need to make a kite easily and quickly? To make it without much trouble, you need a plastic bag, thick paper, two wooden sticks of approximately 50 and 30 centimeters, glue, and string.

4. Hopscotch in the sand
Similar to Tidal Ball, you need to draw circles and numbers on the sand to create the playing surface. Each circle corresponds to a point value; for example, the largest circle can be worth one point, a medium one five points, and the smallest can be worth ten points.

Best of all, you can throw all kinds of objects, from shells and small stones to balls, to accumulate points.

When staying at Solaris Hotels, the best family hotels in Los Cabos and Cancun, you will have access to endless fun thanks to our entertainment team that will provide you with different activities, such as dance classes on the beach, volleyball and beach soccer games, kayak tours, among many other activities.

What to see in Cancún?: A guide to the best-kept tourist corners

Cancún and its surroundings are full of different types of tourist attractions, some of them very famous and popular, but there are also some lesser-known tourist corners that you must visit on your next vacation.

When visiting the Cancún Hotel Zone and its surroundings, you will be able to find some places that are not well known to tourists, but are true gems to visit. For this reason, we tell you about the best-kept secrets of Cancún and how to get to them:

Places to discover in Cancún and its surroundings

1. Isla Contoy
2. Isla Blanca
3. Cenotes
4. Scorpion Temple in Cancún

1. Isla Contoy

This island located north of Isla Mujeres, with a length of just over 8 kilometers, is considered a Natural Reserve and National Wildlife Refuge. To get to the island, it is necessary to hire a boat tour to take you to explore the area, where you will find a small museum about the local fauna and trails to explore the vegetation and beaches.

Also, here you can snorkel at the Ixlaché reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, after the Australian barrier.

Source: Contoytours

Tip: We recommend booking your visit, as the island has a limited capacity of 200 visitors per day.

How much does it cost to go from Cancún to Isla Contoy? The one-day tour, with a visiting schedule between 9 am and 5 pm, has an average cost of $110 USD per person (consider $15 USD extra to pay for access to the island). Best of all, most service providers pick you up directly at the beach of your hotel in Cancún.





2. Isla Blanca

Just an hour away from the north of downtown Cancún, you can reach this destination by road, via the road to Punta Sam. Here you will find 20 kilometers of virgin beach located between the Chacmuchuc lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. It is an ideal place to practice ecotourism, sport fishing, or water activities, such as kitesurfing.

How to get to Isla Blanca by public transport? If you decide not to rent a car, you can get there by taxi with a one-way cost of approximately $800 MXN from the Hotel Zone. It is very important that you agree with the taxi driver on the return time as well as the fare.

3. Cenotes

Between Cancún and Playa del Carmen you will find a wide variety of cenotes, which are part of the great natural attractions of Quintana Roo; some are very popular, others not so much, like the following, but equally spectacular:

  • Cenote la Noria: This incredible enclosed cenote, 18 meters deep and 47 meters in diameter, is distinguished by being home to several bats, but don't worry, they are used to living with humans so they do not pose any risk. In addition to swimming inside the cenote, you can rent ATVs to explore the jungle area or go on a zip line. To get there, you have to find kilometer 19 of the famous “Route of the Cenotes”, on the Puerto Morelos – Leona Vicario road, with an access cost of $100 MXN.
  • Cenote Popol Vuh: This is one of the furthest cenotes from the road, so it is immersed in the fauna of Puerto Morelos, near kilometer 32 of the Puerto Morelos - Leona Vicario highway, about an hour from the Cancún Hotel Zone. Access costs $70 MXN.
  • Cenote Mojarras: The 60-meter diameter cenote is ideal for snorkeling and diving. It is located in the middle of the jungle at kilometer 12.5 of the Puerto Morelos ejido, a little less than an hour away from the Cancún Hotel Zone, with an access cost of $150 MXN.




4. Scorpion Temple in Cancún

The Cancún Hotel Zone has 3 small archaeological zones; in one of them is the Scorpion Temple, also known as Yamil lu’um. These are the ruins of a Mayan building hidden between the Caribbean beach and a hotel in the area.

You can visit this archaeological site and enjoy the sun and all the amenities of Playa Marlin, which is located at kilometer 12.5 of the Cancún Hotel Zone.

In addition to the great scenery that this beach offers, it is possible to swim calmly here due to its gentle waves.

Tip: Just to one side you will find Divorce Beach, where, unlike Lover's Beach, swimming is prohibited due to the strong waves, which, by the way, inspired the name of this beach.

Discover the Sea of Cortez The aquarium of the world near Los Cabos

On your next trip to Los Cabos, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Sea of Cortez, known as “The Aquarium of the World,” one of the top diving destinations protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Where is the Sea of Cortez located?

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the “Aquarium of the World,” is one of the favorite tourist destinations within the extensive Gulf of California in Mexico, which touches the coasts of 4 states of the republic: Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur, as well as the coasts of Sonora and Sinaloa. But why is it called the Aquarium of the World?

Who named the Sea of Cortez the Aquarium of the World?

This area was christened by the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau as the “Aquarium of the World” due to the great biodiversity housed by both the sea and the more than 200 islands in the area, creating a perfect habitat for more than 800 marine species.

Diverse colonies of sea lions, humpback whales and blue whales, dolphins, corals, and hundreds of reef fish live in this region, including multiple species endemic to the region, as well as large colonies of birds.

What can you do in the Sea of Cortez?

You can carry out different very fun activities, both on the coast and inside the spectacular waters of the sea. Here we tell you about some of the many options available:

Outside the Sea of Cortez

On land, you can enjoy the sun on one of the extensive golden sand beaches with mountainous landscapes. You can also go hiking in the natural areas of the region, as well as enjoy adventure activities in all-terrain vehicles on the dunes that surround the Sea of Cortez. During low tide, you can visit the famous Lover's Beach (Playa del Amor), where you will have a spectacular view of the Sea of Cortez.

Tip: Although swimming is not allowed on several beaches due to strong waves, you will find some bays that are ideal for swimming, such as Balandra or Medano Beach in Los Cabos.

On the Sea of Cortez





You can enjoy different water activities, such as taking a boat trip to tour the sea and see the dolphins or whales that visit the area up close. Also, in the different beaches and ports of the region, you can rent equipment and take tours to go sailing, surfing, kayaking, or sport fishing.

Tip: Although different species of whales live in the area, the best months for sighting them are between December and April, mainly in the La Paz and Los Cabos area.

Inside the Sea of Cortez

The main water attractions to visit in this area are snorkeling and diving, because the Sea of Cortez is home to thousands of species of marine wildlife, with reefs and endemic species that you can visit up close by swimming alongside them.





  • In Cabo Pulmo, you will find the oldest reef in the American Pacific, teeming with corals, fish, mollusks, and diverse marine species.
  • You can take a boat to reach Espíritu Santo Island, which is ideal for snorkeling and witnessing the exotic marine life of the Sea of Cortez, surrounded by tropical fish, starfish, and, in some cases, sea lions.

Everything you need to know to go sport fishing in Los Cabos

The sea of Los Cabos, known as the “marlin capital of the world,” is the favorite place for hundreds of tourists who want to practice sport fishing due to the large number of species and boats available to enjoy this activity.

It is common for hundreds of visitors from all over the world to take advantage of their vacations in Los Cabos to demonstrate their skills, whether for mere recreation or professionally by participating in some of the famous international tournaments held in the area, such as the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin or the East Cape Offshore.

Below, we share everything you need to know to practice sport fishing in Los Cabos on your next vacation:

What equipment do you need for fishing?

The basic equipment consists of fishing rods, a reel, fishing line, hooks, and bait. You can choose to bring your own gear; however, most boats that offer sport fishing tours have high-quality professional equipment adapted to different budgets and experience levels.

What does a sport fishing tour include?

When booking your sea outing with trusted operators, make sure your boat provides the following essential services:





  • Specialized equipment: The boats are equipped with professional-level fishing rods and reels, as many of these vessels actively participate in regional tournaments.
  • Quality bait: Generally, they provide 5 live baits on half-day tours and 10 for full-day tours (which you can cut into pieces to optimize their use).
  • Experienced crew: Certified captains with real-time fishing reports to determine the best coordinates of the day.
  • Logistics and hydration: Access to water, soft drinks, and snacks during the trip.

Tip: To fully enjoy the experience, remember to bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, cool clothing, comfortable rubber-soled shoes, as well as a cap and sunglasses with UV protection.

License to practice sport fishing in Los Cabos

It is a mandatory federal requirement to have a valid license to practice sport fishing, which can be purchased by the day, week, month, or year. Normally, Los Cabos tourist charters already include the management and cost of this license in the total price of the tour.

Tip: The current base cost for an individual sport fishing permit is around $127 MXN for a single day and $635 MXN for full-year coverage.





How much does it cost to fish in Los Cabos?

The price of a full-day fishing tour depends directly on the size and type of boat you rent. For example, a charter on a classic 30 to 35-foot boat has an average range of $400 USD to $1,000 USD per day for 5 passengers. If you are looking for maximum exclusivity, you can choose luxury boats over 70 feet with rates starting at $5,000 USD per day.

What can be caught in Los Cabos and what is the best season?

In the sea of Los Cabos, you will find many types of fish ideal for the sport, but depending on the month of your visit, you will find one species or another in greater abundance. For example, from June to December is the stellar season for blue and black marlin, while sailfish are more abundant between April and October.

What is the best overall season? The period between May and November is a particularly good season for sport fishing in Los Cabos, as the water reaches ideal temperatures for catching large specimens.

Regularly, the most sought-after species that inhabit the region are:

  • Marlin (Blue, Black, and Striped)
  • Mahi Mahi (Dorado)
  • Roosterfish
  • Yellowfin Tuna
  • Jack Crevalle
  • Wahoo

Where can you fish in Los Cabos?

The best coastal areas are located within the corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, where the Golden Gate bank or the San Jaime Bank are found, iconic spots for marlin and sailfish fishing.

On the other hand, if you sail toward the waters of the Sea of Cortez, you can fish in the area of Todos Santos or La Ribera, corners that house a large number of swordfish, marlin, and heavy-duty tuna. The activity also extends to neighboring areas such as Loreto, Mulegé, and Punta Abreojos.

How to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone from different points?

How to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone from different points?

How to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone from different points?

The Cancun Hotel Zone is the favorite tourist corridor of the Mexican Caribbean, due to its impressive landscapes and the great variety of attractions, which is why it has various access routes and means of transport to travel around the area.

For this reason, we present all the options available to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone, from different points; some are more expensive than others, but also more comfortable. The important thing is that you have alternatives that fit your budget.

How to get to Cancun by plane?

The Cancun International Airport is the main access point in the region, since, for example, during the past year 2021 alone, it received just over 22 million visitors, both national and international.

But how much does a plane ticket from Mexico City to Cancun cost? The price depends on different factors such as the type of airline, the departure dates (for example, Easter or New Year's Eve are usually expensive dates), and how far in advance you buy the tickets.

But, to give you an idea, on average a round-trip flight departing from Mexico City has a price close to $2,500 MXN in the low season, and approximately $6,000 MXN in the high season.

How to get from Cancun airport to the hotel zone?

Now, once you have arrived at the Cancun International Airport, you will have different options to travel to the Hotel Zone, where you will have to travel about 18 kilometers to reach its midpoint. And well, to achieve this you have three options:

1. Rent a car. The rental depends on the number of days and the car model, but on average a compact car, rented for 5 days, with basic insurance has a price of $6,000 MXN.

2. Take an airport taxi. They currently charge around 500 MXN, depending on your destination hotel, for a trip of approximately 30 minutes.

3. Travel on an ADO bus line. In this case, the destination will be downtown Cancun. This is the most economical option as it costs about $90 MXN.

How to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone from downtown?

Cancun Hotel Zone

With the first two options mentioned, you easily arrive at your accommodation destination in the Hotel Zone, but if you opt for the bus service, it will drop you off at the ADO terminal in downtown Cancun, 16 kilometers from the Hotel Zone.

From this point, you can take a taxi to your hotel or take one of the public transport buses that constantly cross the tourist corridor, traveling along the entire Kukulcán Boulevard.

Tip: The total travel time, from the airport to the ADO terminal downtown and from downtown to the Cancun Hotel Zone, will take you about 1 hour.

Cozumel – Playa del Carmen - Cancun Hotel Zone route

Another alternative is to arrive at the Cozumel airport, from where you must first travel 28 kilometers by ferry on the Ultramar or Winjet lines to reach Playa del Carmen; this journey will take you approximately 50 minutes.

How to get from Playa del Carmen to the Cancun Hotel Zone?

Transport to the Cancun Hotel Zone

Once in Playa del Carmen, you have the option of taking an ADO bus that leaves from Fifth Avenue or opting for the collective transport that leaves from downtown Playa del Carmen; these two options will drop you off in downtown Cancun. Also, as a third option, you can rent a car.

As you will notice, there are several alternatives to get to the Cancun Hotel Zone, but if you want your stay to be more pleasant, you can choose to stay in one of the family hotels in Cancun with the best access, such as Royal Solaris, which is located in a privileged location 13 kilometers from the Cancun International Airport.

Choosing the best accommodation is the key to having the vacation you always dreamed of. And yes, you will have many options when starting the @Search@ for your temporary home in this city, but the best option will be the one that offers you the best benefit according to your budget and the one that you fall in love with visually.

3. Transportation

Traveling to Cancun and not having a taxi waiting for you upon your arrival can be a small pebble in your shoe, as purchasing it on-site is usually more expensive than if you book in advance. In addition, there are no companies that provide taxis through apps and smartphones, so we advise you to check with your hotel if they have this benefit, usually for an extra charge.





Normally, shared car rates are around $300 MXN per person for your round trip, that is, Airport-Hotel-Airport.

You can also choose to rent a car from the many options available, both online and at the airport exit. In this case, the price depends on the car model you decide to rent and the type of insurance you purchase.

4. Travel insurance

This is one of the elements that few travelers consider, but extraordinary situations usually happen, so you must definitely take it into account. A company like Travel Blu Assistance offers national coverage for 4 nights and two people for $297 MXN, providing security to the tourist from 00:00 hours on the start date of the trip until 23:59 on the day they return home.

In general terms, a trip to Cancun for two people for four nights can cost around $25,897 MXN ($1,278 USD per couple).

Remember that by official provision, hotels in Quintana Roo request an additional lodging tax, which is charged at the time of check-in. It is used to contribute to sanitation and environmental protection initiatives such as: waste collection, beach cleaning, reef conservation, wetland treatment, and reforestation. The cost is around $30 MXN per night per room.





According to the Ministry of Tourism of Mexico, beach destinations have been the most visited even in times of pandemic; just from January to October 2021, an average occupancy of 45.1% was registered. It is certainly not strange that Cancun is the favorite paradise for both national and international tourists.

How to find good deals on all-inclusive hotels?

How to find good deals on all-inclusive hotels?

Promotions at All-Inclusive hotels tend to be recurring and available at different times of the year, especially a couple of months before Easter or the summer. The best practice to take advantage of promotions is to book in advance.

A tip that thousands of travelers take very seriously is to plan their trip at least six months before it happens. Whether due to work commitments or to save money, this good practice helps vacationers enjoy great promotions, such as discounts on lodging or cheaper flights.

Did you know? Accommodation costs can be up to 60% of your total trip, so taking advantage of promotions and comparing prices will save you a significant amount on your next vacation.

6 tips for finding promotions at All-Inclusive hotels

A beach trip cannot always be planned several months in advance, especially when it is a family trip, as there are several factors to consider, such as school holidays or work rest days. If this is the case, consider searching for promotions at certain family-friendly hotels in Cancun, Los Cabos, or wherever your beach destination may be.





Consider these six tips that will help you save on your next trip:

1. Do not book at the last minute during high season. If the only days your entire family has available are in the summer or during the last week of December, book a couple of months in advance and avoid paying high prices due to excess demand.

2. Choose a Sunday morning to arrive at the hotel, as it is usually the cheapest night, while the most expensive is Friday. This is because a large part of the guests arrive on Friday and leave the resort on Sunday, which causes demand to decrease.





3. Choose a hotel that includes what you and your family need and do not pay for additional services that you will probably not use. For example, if you are traveling with children, look for a hotel that has activities to keep them safe and entertained.

4. Consider extra expenses, such as transfers or any activity outside the hotel. You can verify with the resort if they have transportation service and evaluate if it is necessary to go out to look for entertainment, since there are hotels that offer their guests different amenities and attractions for which it is not necessary to leave the complex.

5. Search to book directly on the website of the hotel where you will be staying. Many times, when making your reservation on the All-Inclusive website, they can offer you discounts or promotions that you would not be able to get on other pages.





6. Choose a hotel with a good location so you can enjoy the city's attractions, places, or events without having to travel long distances and invest too much time and money going back and forth from each activity.

Tip: long stays in the same accommodation are usually cheaper, so it is recommended that you stay in one place if your family vacation will last more than seven days.

If you are ready to start planning your next family vacation, at Hoteles Solaris we will make you live a relaxing and unforgettable stay in the best All-Inclusive family hotels in Cancun and Los Cabos. Get in touch with us and check our promotions available throughout the year.

Holy Week at the beach: 5 places you must visit

Spending the Easter holidays at the beach is an ideal plan. To enjoy it even more, think about everything you need for your trip; consider the days you have available, your budget, and the destination.

There is no better time to start planning your next adventure than this month of February, precisely because you will have the perfect time frame to decide on your favorite destination and organize your trip. Discover the five best beaches to visit during Easter.

1. Los Cabos

Staying at one of the all-inclusive hotels in Los Cabos is the dream option for many travelers, especially because it is a place that invites you to delve into the natural beauties it houses, such as the Arch or Lover's and Divorce Beach.

Activities such as whale watching (between December and March), camel safari in the desert, tours to La Paz or Todos Santos, swimming with whale sharks, day cruises, snorkeling and paddleboarding, or extreme activities are the most requested.





2. Cancun

To go to the beach during Easter, Cancun is an option you won't regret. This is one of the favorite destinations due to its spectacular turquoise waters, a color obtained thanks to the champagne-colored white sand found there.

From unique natural areas to water and adventure activities, this destination has it all. Gastronomy, golf courses, exclusive shopping centers, entertainment, crafts, nightclubs, and, most importantly, 22 kilometers of beaches, all of them located along Boulevard Kukulcán in the hotel zone.





3. Huatulco

A place that not only welcomes you with open arms but also promises magical moments is Huatulco. It is made up of nine bays where there are diverse and pristine beaches with shining sand along the Pacific.

In this idyllic destination, nature envelops you in its majesty, the sea gives you tranquility, and the nights embrace you with their charm. So if this is the one you chose, don't hesitate to take a tour of the bays, go to the Magical Waterfalls of Copalitilla, venture on a hot springs excursion, swim and admire the corals while snorkeling, visit Mazunte, take a surf lesson, or take a Jet Ski ride.





4. Mazatlan

To feel the sea breeze and enjoy a beautiful sunset, "the Pearl of the Pacific" is the favorite corner. We are referring to Mazatlan, with golden beaches, incredible natural scenery, its historic boardwalk (Malecón), and overflowing activities for all ages and preferences.

It is essential to visit Brujas, Olas Altas, and Cerritos beaches, as well as take an ecological tour, visit the aquarium, savor the gastronomy, and delve into its culture.





5. Acapulco

Its proximity to Mexico City makes Acapulco a highly frequented geographical point. In fact, it is recognized for having been the first international tourist port in Mexico and is one of the main destinations for sunbathing in the country.

It has more than 50 kilometers of beach, two bays surrounded by lush mountains, and two lagoons escorted by impressive mangroves. As a fun fact, five of its beaches are Blue Flag certified: Pie de la Cuesta, Icacos in its section I and II, as well as Revolcadero beach in its section I and II.

What are the benefits of taking a trip as a couple?

What are the benefits of traveling as a couple?

To travel is to live, but exploring new horizons with your soulmate is more than that. It is a true adventure. It is getting to know each other better. It is learning from one another. It is a must for inspiration and motivation. These are the benefits of taking a trip as a couple.

If traveling represents more than just an activity to discover places, try new dishes, delight in majestic landscapes, or cultivate yourself, imagine what it would be like if you did it with your better half. A survey conducted by the U.S. Travel Association demonstrated that there are multiple benefits to traveling as a couple, such as having healthy relationships, communicating well, and enjoying romance more. We share some others with you.

1- Create new experiences

Traveling to your favorite destinations alone can be truly rewarding, but nothing beats living and enriching your mind, body, and heart alongside your favorite person. So, if you included a romantic getaway in your "Things to achieve this year" bucket list, take advantage of all the benefits of staying at one of the many All-Inclusive hotels for couples, where your only task will be to enjoy every space and moment.





2- You are happier

It is not hard to believe that when people travel, they are happier, even just from planning the trip. Traveling the world with your life partner means learning more about each other and having the opportunity to spend quality time together. This translates to more happiness = a better relationship.

3- Teamwork

According to Lonely Planet, successful couples know how to solve problems and compromise, and there is no better way to perfect those skills than while planning and booking a trip. If you are already organizing your next adventure, focus on sharing ideas, tastes, and preferences, and live an unforgettable vacation.





4- Break the routine

Definitely, making new plans will end the monotony of day-to-day life, both at work and personally. Therefore, during a trip as a couple, try to reflect on your life at home, think of possible activities that help you minimize the routine, and establish the best way to strengthen your relationship.

5- Reconnect safely

Since 2020, we have lived through days of uncertainty and an inevitable lockdown due to the pandemic; however, the desire to travel has remained latent, not to mention that it has been growing. According to a study conducted by a renowned Online Travel Agency, travel trends for couples for this 2022 represent 17% of those surveyed, so it is ideal to return to that desirable moment of continuing to create new memories, reconnecting with each other, and of course, always following all the pertinent safety measures.

Wedding
Advantages of having your wedding on the beach how do I plan it?

Advantages of having your wedding on the beach how do I plan it?

Organizing a wedding ceremony on the beach is not a simple task, and it is even less so if the bride and groom do not live near the venue they have chosen. However, choosing an All-Inclusive hotel to celebrate the event is the key to making everything a success.

It is worth organizing the logistics to make your wedding an unforgettable experience that all your guests will enjoy, although it is undoubtedly a titanic task for which you will need help. However, such an important event deserves a great setting; here are all the advantages of getting married on the beach:

1. You will have a natural setting that will be part of the photo album that will remain for posterity, as a memory of the most important day of your life.

2. It will be more intimate and emotional, since these types of events by the sea are usually organized for a few people.

3. You can have it at an All Inclusive that has a wedding package option to support you with logistics and important details such as decoration, the banquet, and service.





4. You don't need to travel to another destination for your honeymoon, since after the celebration you can stay at the resort for a few more days and enjoy the bridal suite that most All-Inclusive hotels have.

5. It can be more relaxed and require fewer demands for guests; that is, the dress code may or may not require formal attire.

Beach wedding: what are the details I should consider?

Organizing a wedding, wherever it may be, involves paperwork and taking care of many details, but if you are planning to have it on the beach, you must think about these three aspects:

1. The proximity of the beach

Preferably, the beach you choose should have easy access from your city of origin and from that of most of your guests. If you have guests living outside of Mexico, consider that your venue should have an international airport and direct flights. Cancun and Los Cabos have many options of beaches for weddings.

2. The time of year

The weather on your wedding day will depend on the time of year. For example, in spring and summer, the temperature in beach destinations, such as Los Cabos, usually reaches 30°C, while in autumn, the heat drops a little and the weather is more pleasant.

3. Beach wedding packages

Quote at least two or three options to organize your wedding. It is highly recommended that you opt for an All-Inclusive hotel that offers you, within your package, some basic aspects for your event, such as a banquet, service, and decoration. You can ask your advisor to let you see another event a few months before so that you can get a closer idea of what yours will be like.

Tip: If you still haven't decided if your wedding will be traditional, sumptuous, minimalist, or out of the ordinary, consider a package that can adapt to any of these styles and that makes your event memorable for you and all your guests.

Tips
Are you traveling as a family? These are the advantages it will bring you.
10/02/2022

Are you traveling as a family? These are the advantages it will bring you.

Family trips bring many benefits, such as the possibility of staying closer together, strengthening trust, and fostering tolerance and respect among members. All-inclusive family vacation packages are a good option to start planning a getaway.

According to a study published by the academic journal The Journal of Positive Psychology, happiness is found in the most significant experiences, and travel falls within this definition. The same study asserts that traveling can improve quality of life and even make people live longer.

Benefits of taking a family vacation

Taking the family on vacation and, if possible, staying at an All Inclusive family hotel, should be done at least once a year, since discovering new places and breaking the routine is something to share regularly. In addition, these outings give us the opportunity to expand our horizons and collect memories. Here are other important benefits:





1. Strengthens emotional bonds

There will be more complicity between you, you will strengthen communication, you will be able to get to know each other better, and you will improve your relationship thanks to continuous togetherness away from the routine. School and work responsibilities gradually diminish communication, so breaking the routine will be a benefit for the whole family.

2. Reduces anxiety and stress levels

Daily demands and a fast-paced lifestyle are causes of stress that, many times, prevent us from enjoying pleasant activities, such as traveling. A trip represents disconnection, relaxation, and the possibility of living in the present, which definitely reduces levels of stress and anxiety.





3. Better promotions can be taken advantage of

When traveling as a family, you can take advantage of better promotions since some All Inclusive family hotels offer packages and promotions throughout the year. The ideal thing is to get quotes and review various options to make the decision that best suits the whole family; for example, an All Inclusive with activities for the little ones and entertainment for adults is the best option for everyone to live unforgettable days.

4. Lost time can be recovered

Everything that you and your family cannot share during the year due to routine and responsibilities can be recovered with a few days of vacation. Consider that it is recommended that the longer you go without taking a break away from home, the more vacation days you should enjoy.

5. Tolerance and respect are encouraged

By being in a more relaxed environment and away from the daily routine, tolerance and respect arise naturally. The important thing is to maintain these good habits at the end of the vacation to encourage constant communication.





6. Happiness levels increase

According to psychology experts, the experiences lived during trips release happiness hormones that, while away from home, make us forget our worries, which promotes a good relationship with our loved ones.

7. Favors empathy

Being away from home invariably helps to revalue what one has. This happens, many times, because when traveling you have the opportunity to know other cultures, other climates, and other customs, which gives way to reflection and empathy.

Tip: encourage the habit of traveling as a family at home. This will give everyone the tools necessary to face life more positively and to have greater motivation when carrying out their daily activities.

Beach holidays all their benefits

Beach holidays all their benefits

The benefits of going to the beach are many; reducing stress levels and sharing quality time with your partner and family are two of the most important ones. Plan your vacation by considering all the advantages you have when traveling.

Expert psychologists state that traveling goes beyond having days of entertainment and distraction, as venturing out to visit new places represents well-being in every sense. Feelings such as anxiety, fear, or insecurity are easily eradicated when taking a well-deserved vacation.

Tip: planning a trip where you can reconnect with yourself and your family will represent a positive change in attitude, clear your mind, and help you make better decisions upon your return.

7 important benefits of traveling to the beach

The beach is one of the destinations that provides the most relaxation to its visitors due to the climate and the tranquility that being in front of the sea represents. Furthermore, according to Traveler magazine, you don't need to be rich to take at least one trip a year that helps you clear your head and feel better; you just need the desire and good organization.





Take note of these benefits and start planning your next beach vacation:

1. Stronger family relationships

Day-to-day life, school, and work can make connecting with your family quite a challenge, even if you share the same house. A neutral place will help you focus on your well-being, share, and enjoy spending time together.





2. Blocking negative thoughts

The stimulus that a trip to the beach represents can clear the mind and put aside worries, fears, and insecurities. These negative sensations that usually arise from daily routine are easily forgotten in the presence of the sea and decrease considerably upon your return.

3. Decrease and better management of stress

According to Jaime Burque, a renowned Spanish psychologist, spending a few days at an All-Inclusive concept hotel is one of the best ways to disconnect from high levels of stress, since vacationing in a place where everything is planned and expenses are pre-paid gives a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

4. Better decision-making

The beach is one of the tourist destinations that most helps to relax the mind and clarify thoughts, which is why decision-making becomes more agile and simple. That is why, often when people are about to make an important decision, they travel to take a breather and open their minds to new possibilities.

5. Improvement in general health

Studies have shown that at least 25% of recurring travelers have a higher health rate and a better quality of life. In particular, business owners and executives consider that traveling helps them prevent burnout from their daily responsibilities and makes them less prone to chronic diseases or heart conditions.

6. Improvement in expense management

Planning vacations leads you to make a travel budget, since it is sometimes necessary to reduce non-essential expenses in order to use the money for a getaway. This practice, over time, becomes a good habit that provides benefits to your daily administration.





7. Increase in endorphins

Endorphins are the hormones of happiness, which are released in many ways. One of them is by spending a few days in a calm environment away from the daily routine. The secretion of this hormone can occur through activities such as surfing, sailing, fishing, and swimming; all related to the beach climate.

This is what the weather is like in Los Cabos at the beginning of the year travel in January!
03/01/2022

This is what the weather is like in Los Cabos at the beginning of the year travel in January!

Throughout the year, the temperature in Los Cabos rarely drops below 14°C or rises above 35°C. However, the cooler season, which is also a very enjoyable time to visit the city, is from December to March, and here is why.

For hundreds of national and international tourists, the best time to take an All-Inclusive trip to Los Cabos is when the heat subsides a little. This occurs between December 7th and March 22nd, when the maximum temperature is 26°C and the minimum is 16°C. This, combined with whale watching season, makes the first months of the year in Los Cabos idyllic.

Tips for enjoying the weather in Los Cabos

If you are a tourist who enjoys the beach with slightly mild temperatures, starting the year by visiting Los Cabos is your best option. Here are some tips that will help you enjoy your trip, whether you are traveling with family or as a couple.





1. Although temperatures are not entirely low and it is still warm, consider traveling with a light jacket for the cool mornings and nights. A windbreaker will be enough.

2. If you didn't organize your trip in October and want to enjoy the weather of the first few months of the year in Los Cabos, you can still start planning it. If you purchase your flights and book accommodation at the end of December or the beginning of January, you will be able to enjoy the good weather of late March.

3. If one of the activities you will schedule for your trip is scuba diving, keep in mind that the water will be less warm, so you will need a thick wetsuit, which the travel agency where you book the tour can provide for you.

4. If the main reason for your trip to Los Cabos is to enjoy whale watching, consider March as your last opportunity of the year to see them, as once the heat begins to rise, the cetaceans return to the north.

5. If you enjoy sport fishing, this is another great reason to visit Cabo San Lucas during the first quarter of the year, as species like marlin, tuna, and yellowtail are abundant during this season.





Tip: In addition to recreational activities and good weather, you can also enjoy international events held in Los Cabos during this season, such as the Todos Santos Music Festival in January and the Dance Gala in March.

1. During the winter, the minimum temperature in the Mexican Caribbean is usually 17°C, while the maximum can reach 28°C. This will give you and your family the ideal climate to enjoy your days away.

2. You won't have to worry about the preparations for the Christmas or New Year's Eve dinner, as there are endless options to enjoy unforgettable evenings.

Tip: book in advance at the place you have chosen to dine on the 24th and 31st, since being high season, bars and restaurants are full, and not taking this into account could force you to take options you had not considered.

3. You will experience a change of routine, especially if it is the first time you spend the holiday season on the beach and away from the cold. You will surely want to repeat the experience.





4. The end of the year is always a good time to reconnect with your family and think about everything you experienced during the year. In fact, reflecting in the company of the sea activates the senses and reduces stress. Give it a try!

3 activities that will make you enjoy winter on the beach

Going to rest at an All-Inclusive hotel in the company of your family will give you a memorable end of the year, but in case you want to go out and explore the area, these seasonal activities will make you have even more fun:

1. Celebrate Mexican traditions in December

At Xcaret Park, for example, Christmas is celebrated with all the Mexican traditions, such as nativity scenes, "posadas," Christmas carols, and piñatas; activities that national and foreign tourists enjoy equally. Also, as in the rest of Mexico, from December 16th to the 24th in the city of Cancun, city residents hold pilgrimages to the rhythm of popular songs.

2. Visit the nightclubs

This activity is for those traveling as a couple. Cancun is a destination recognized for its nightlife and because during the end-of-year holidays, the festive atmosphere is outstanding, as nightclubs offer entertainment specific to the season, especially on the night of the 31st.

Tip: the most visited nightclubs are The City, Dady’O and Coco Bongo. Being located right in the hotel zone, getting there is simple; however, you should check availability before attending any of the three.

3. Do your last shopping of the year

During the Christmas season and due to the arrival of thousands of tourists, many of the stores inside the shopping malls in Cancun offer great discounts to their visitors, so it is a good idea to dedicate at least one day to go shopping before your return.

4. Go to a spa

To relax even more, to have a calm end of the year and away from the stress and fatigue of daily life, treat yourselves to a spa session. Check if the resort where you have your reservation has this service and if it is included in your All-Inclusive plan.





Tip: if your only intention is to rest to start the year full of energy, an All Inclusive is your best option. At Hoteles Solaris, we will make sure you and your family experience an unforgettable vacation in the best All-Inclusive family hotels in Cancun. Get in touch with us and check our promotions.

What to pack for the beach? Make a travel plan so you don't forget anything.
16/12/2021

What to pack for the beach? Make a travel plan so you don't forget anything.

Special shoes and sunscreen are essential for that beach trip that you and your family will enjoy to the fullest, and to ensure everything goes well, the first step is not to forget anything at home. We tell you everything you should pack.

What clothes to take to the beach is the first thing people usually think about; however, there are other factors to consider in your vacation plan; things you might not have taken into account, such as the ones we list below:

Tip: make a list of the family members going on the trip, and for each member, list what they need and check off each item as you pack it.

1. Important documents

Everything depends on your travel destination and whether you are going by car or plane. If you are traveling by car, don't forget to check the proper functioning of your car with a mechanic and have all documentation in order before hitting the road. If the trip is by air, your plane tickets are the first thing you should pack in your carry-on bag.

If your trip is international, remember that everyone needs a passport and visa (only in case of traveling to a beach in the United States). If you are visiting a Mexican beach, it is sufficient to carry identification.

2. Have your accommodation information at hand

The hotel address, reservation details and, in some cases, your payment method at hand are essential upon your arrival at the hotel. All-Inclusive family hotels usually have all your reservation information before you arrive, which makes your arrival and check-in to your room more agile.

At Solaris Hotels, we have a hospitality room for early arrivals or late departures from the resort. If you arrive a few hours earlier than expected or your flight is delayed, you and your family can stay at the hotel with the possibility of continuing to enjoy your All-Inclusive plan.





3. Shoes for water activities

Special shoes for walking on the beach or playing in and out of the pool, besides making your vacation more fun, will give you more safety and avoid accidents, as they are non-slip. Consider them in your luggage.

4. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are necessary when going to the beach and, believe it or not, they are one of the accessories most often forgotten at home. Avoid making an emergency purchase and throw them into your carry-on bag along with your important documents.





5. Sunscreen for body and hair

Remember that it is not only necessary to protect your skin from the sun, it is also necessary to take care of your hair, as it gets very damaged by the sun's rays. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and a protective mask that you can easily apply before you start sunbathing.

6. Several changes of clothes

If you are traveling with children, you will know that one change per day is not enough, so you should consider up to three changes a day for them. For adults, two changes a day are enough, especially if you have several activities planned during the day, such as going for a quad bike ride or going out for dinner or dancing somewhere at night.





7. Insect repellent

Sunsets on the beach are spectacular, but without a doubt, they are enjoyed more without the presence of mosquitoes, especially when someone in the family is allergic to these insects and the bites are more painful and annoying. A good repellent in the afternoons and evenings will prevent discomfort during your vacation, so don't forget yours.

8. First aid kit with the essentials

It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. The best thing that can happen is to bring to your trip a first aid kit with ointments, painkillers, antihistamines, and medical supplies that go unused, while the worst thing that could happen is needing it and not having it with you. Remember that it will always be better to reserve space in your suitcase for these materials.

Tip: staying at an All-Inclusive hotel gives you the security of having everything at hand. While there are oversights that cannot be easily solved, such as documents or part of your luggage, there are many other things you can solve at the hotel shop, such as sunscreen, repellent, and even a swimsuit.

What to do in Cancun and its surroundings? What you should know before your trip

There are endless activities in Cancun that will allow you to enjoy an unforgettable vacation. Playa Delfines, Playa Tortugas, or archaeological sites like Chichén Itzá are just some of your options.

Cancun is a world-famous beach destination thanks to its turquoise waters, white sand, nightlife, and archaeological sites. This set of attractions has made the gateway to the Yucatan Peninsula the favorite destination for thousands of national and foreign tourists.

Tip: A high percentage of vacationers choose to take all-inclusive trips to Cancun, as it provides a more pleasant and relaxing experience since factors such as lodging, food and drinks, transportation, activities, and tours are usually handled by resort staff. Take into account that activities outside the hotel and some tours might not be included in your All Inclusive plan; however, even if you had to pay an extra for certain activities, it is worth having a service that offers you safety and confidence throughout your stay.

6 things to do in Cancun

Once you have everything ready to enjoy a warm vacation, these are the attractions in Cancun that you absolutely cannot miss:

1. Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and Tulum

These are the most visited and enigmatic archaeological sites in the entire peninsula. Chichén Itzá is a legendary Mayan city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; Cobá is part of the pre-Columbian Mayan culture; and Tulum is known for being one of the best-preserved ruins, belonging to an ancient Mayan port.





2. Underwater Museum of Art

Also known as MUSA, it is a museum submerged in the waters of the Mexican Caribbean, specifically in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc. It was founded in 2009 and is currently one of the most ambitious underwater attractions in the world, so visiting it is a must in Cancun.

3. Scenic Tower of Cancun

With a height of 110 meters, this tower is the tallest structure in Cancun. Its main attraction is that it can rise up to 85 meters while slowly rotating in circles, allowing its visitors to enjoy an incredible view of the city, the beach, and the hotel zone.

4. Isla Mujeres

This Mexican island, located 13 kilometers off the coast of Cancun, is an iconic destination known for the beauty of its beaches. Playa Norte, its resorts, and its activities, such as snorkeling and diving in the coral reefs, make it another must-see in Cancun.

5. Cenote Route

This route is located near Puerto Morelos, in Quintana Roo. It is a corridor of cenotes with a length of more than 35 kilometers that starts in Cancun and extends to Leona Vicario. The route is known for being a unique paradise in the world because it houses several natural parks, more than 60 cenotes, and one can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, diving, and ATV tours, among many others.





6. Other archaeological sites

San Miguelito, El Rey, and the Temple of the Scorpion Yamil Lu’um are archaeological sites with free admission. San Miguelito is the most important Mayan settlement on the island; El Rey is part of the pre-Columbian Mayan culture, and the Temple of the Scorpion Yamil Lu’um are the archaeological remains of a small Mayan temple built in the 13th century.

Tips
Whales in Los Cabos When is the best season for whale watching?
06/12/2021

Whales in Los Cabos When is the best season for whale watching?

Whale watching in Los Cabos is a unique spectacle that the world's largest mammals offer us every year from December to March. The migration of hundreds of whales happens because they come in search of warm waters and food for the birth of their calves.

These animals, which, according to National Geographic, can measure up to 32 meters and weigh up to 180 tons, are divided into 11 species, seven of which gather in the Sea of Cortez in search of the ideal environment to welcome new cetaceans. Minke, Gray, Bryde's, Fin, Humpback, Blue, and Sei are the species that can be spotted during whale season in Los Cabos.





Tip: A great time to plan your all-inclusive trip to Los Cabos and enjoy this majestic natural spectacle is during the month of January, once the holiday festivities have passed.

How to enjoy whale watching?

Now that you know you should organize your trip to Los Cabos within the first quarter of the year to see the whales, keep these three tips in mind so that you and your family can have an unforgettable experience:

1. Book in advance

At the beginning of the year, travel plans for many Mexican families start to be postponed, which is an opportunity for those who did not travel during December. However, destinations like San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, due to whale watching, usually have low availability in their hotels; that is why planning at least two months in advance will save you from waiting another year to see the whale migration.





2. Search for accommodation that suits your needs

If you are traveling as a family, it is recommended that you stay in an All-Inclusive hotel that offers you all services, food, and drinks, and can also provide advice or facilities to get to the boat that will take you to enjoy whale watching comfortably and safely.





3. Search for a tour to see the whales

If you are staying at an All Inclusive, ask about the tours available for whale watching and their cost. If they have these types of tours, keep in mind that taking it directly at your hotel will facilitate aspects such as transportation, payment, and safety, which is essential when traveling with family.

Make meeting the whales one of your resolutions for 2022! At Hoteles Solaris we want you to have an unforgettable experience, which is why we offer a tour for you to enjoy the sighting. In addition to living the experience, you will learn all about these marine mammals from our expert guides, as we offer the safest and most comfortable expedition in Los Cabos.

Water sports why should you practice them on vacation?
29/11/2021

Water sports why should you practice them on vacation?

Practicing water sports while on vacation boosts mood and muscle relaxation. In addition, water activities offer endless benefits for mental and social well-being, which will help you spend an unforgettable vacation.

We know that your family vacation at the beach is meant for relaxing, but part of that relaxation should include time to take care of your health and your body. The great advantage you have is that the water offers you activities that, while having a good time in the company of your loved ones, relax your muscles and increase your cardiorespiratory capacity.

Tip: Consider as one of your first options All-Inclusive hotels that offer you the ease of practicing water sports, such as the use of pedal boats and kayaks. At Solaris Hotels, we have a private Marina with non-motorized water sports.

Types of water sports you can practice on vacation

There are water sports to enjoy as a family, as a couple, or solo. Furthermore, there are various levels of complexity, so deciding on one will depend on your skills or those of the group. Here are the most popular options:

1. Jet Pack

It is like flying over the water and the level of complexity is low, since it is like riding a bicycle. In this activity, you work on balance and body movements; however, you do require a certified instructor to look after you and control the water pressure.





2. Kayak

It is ideal to practice as a couple. The kayak bases its level of complexity on the calmness or the movement of the waters, and thanks to this activity, you can exercise your arms and work on your endurance while enjoying beautiful landscapes.

3. Surf

Its level of complexity is high, especially in a sea where the wave level exceeds grade 4; that is, 2.5 meters in height. If practicing it is one of your goals during your next vacation, it is recommended that you take a short course before launching into the adventure.

4. Aqua gym

This is another of the amenities that some resorts can offer you. It is very pleasant, relaxing, and gives you the opportunity to work on the muscles of your legs and arms under the water, which creates greater resistance.





5. Scuba Diving

It is one of the best ways to work on your endurance and breathing capacity. You can do this activity as a family, but for the safety of the whole group, you will need the supervision and support of certified personnel at all times.

6. Water polo

It is ideal for group or family trips. In addition, it is very easy to carry out, since you only need a ball and to gather all your companions in the pool. This activity will help you work on your coordination and arm strength.

7. Sea-level Yoga

Whether underwater or on a stable surface, practicing yoga on the beach is one of the most recommended and recurring activities, since in addition to improving your flexibility and relaxing your muscles, doing a routine while listening to the sea waves will help you disconnect and relax your mind completely.





8. Aquazumba

This activity is a mixture of an aqua gym practice with synchronized swimming, as it incorporates music into the routines, which motivates maintaining the rhythm and cadence of the movements. It is a favorite, since in addition to working on your muscle strength, it is very fun.

You may also be interested in: These are the services that an All-Inclusive should offer you

Now that you know some of the activities that will favor the mood and well-being of your family while they enjoy their vacation, consider them when planning your trip. At Solaris Hotels, you can enjoy your favorite non-motorized sport in our Marina located in front of the lagoon.

In addition, we have special rates throughout the year. Get in touch with us for more information and get to know our All-Inclusive family resort.

Family trip or couple's trip how to organize each one?
25/11/2021

Family trip or couple's trip how to organize each one?

Family trips and romantic getaways are experiences that require different services. While a family trip requires a place with activities for various age ranges, couples prefer extreme activities or spaces for relaxation.

Vacations begin to be enjoyed from the moment of planning and from when everyone starts making decisions about the trip as a team. But how do you ensure this moment doesn't become chaos? First, by defining the destination and setting a budget, which may be higher for a family trip due to the number of people. Then, by taking everyone's opinion into account and following these steps for each type of trip:

How to organize a family trip?

1. Choose a date and destination





If you are traveling with children, you will likely have to adapt to school holiday dates; however, since it is high season, keep in mind that demand increases and, consequently, flight and accommodation prices rise. If there is no way to change dates, Search for family-friendly All-Inclusive hotels that offer promotions at any time of the year.

2. Search for direct routes

Depending on the destination you choose and if you are traveling by plane, try to buy flights that do not have layovers, since even if they could be cheaper, you will be wasting vacation time and, if traveling with small children, this type of trip is very uncomfortable for them.

3. Make a plan for each day

Make a list of all the activities you would like to do and order them from most to least important. Based on the list, create a plan that includes most of the attractions spread out over the days you will be away.

4. Bring the essentials

When the whole family goes on vacation, it is best to travel only with the essentials. This way you will avoid paying for excess baggage and you will travel much more comfortably. Before starting the adventure, ensure that each member of the family (except small children) is responsible for their own luggage and valuables.

5. Share and enjoy





Remember that a family trip is for sharing experiences, so for everything to be a success, keep in mind that there may be disagreements or logistical failures, but good organization and a plan B for each part of the itinerary will save you many problems and make you enjoy every moment of your vacation.

How to organize a couple's trip?

1. Define the type of trip you want to take





As a couple, decisions are usually simpler because they only depend on two people, and whether you want to enjoy days of adventure, relaxation, or both, the ideal is to choose a destination that offers both options so that, in case you change your mind or need time for both types of activities, you can do so without needing to change locations.

2. Define the number of days

Usually, couple's vacations (unless it is a honeymoon trip) are shorter than family trips; however, regardless of the duration of the trip, couple's getaways can cover several activities in a single day due to mobility and budget.

3. Establish a budget

Based on the type of trip you want to take, establish a budget that includes flights, accommodation, meals, and entertainment. Consider that paying for each item separately can blow the budget, so a resort that even offers the ease of booking tours and activities will be a great option.

4. Choose a place with a good location

Look for accommodation in a hotel that is close to attractions or has the option of providing easy and safe transportation. This will save you time and effort, giving you more opportunity to enjoy your vacation destination.

5. Consider new adventures





When traveling as a couple, it is easier to experience different adventures, such as scuba diving, a safari, or an ATV Tour. The options are many, and the secret to enjoying some of them is to have the ease of purchasing them, even before your arrival at the destination.

Whether you Search for an all-inclusive family hotel or a couple's hotel, the important thing is to enjoy your vacation to the fullest. At Hoteles Solaris we will make sure you spend unforgettable days in the company of your loved ones, as we have services and activities for both types of stays; family or couple.

All-Inclusive Hotel: These are the services it should offer you
11/11/2021

All-Inclusive Hotel: These are the services it should offer you

An All-Inclusive hotel is a resort that should offer everything you need for a luxury family vacation: accommodation, three daily meals, most alcoholic beverages, activities, shows, and tips, among other services.

All-Inclusive hotels make you feel part of their ecosystem from the moment you check in until you leave your room, but they are more than just an All-Inclusive; they are an experience. And while they are perfect for couples and groups of friends, they are ideal for a family vacation, provided they offer services that every member can enjoy.

What is an All-Inclusive hotel?

Meals, drinks, activities, shows, access to pools, and the rest of the facilities are generally what is included in an All-Inclusive plan and do not incur an additional cost. However, some resorts offer much more, which is why when planning your family vacation, you should focus on the hotel that gives you additional benefits for the same price.

Here are some extra services that not all resorts offer in their All-Inclusive plan and that could make a difference when making your reservation:

1. Activities for the little ones

If your family vacation includes young children, you know that their safety and entertainment are a priority. Search for a resort that features safe, dedicated play areas for children, as well as activities or shows that allow them to enjoy their stay at the hotel at no extra cost.

Tip: there are All-Inclusive hotels that have special promotions for children, such as stays with lower prices or special activities and attractions for them at no additional cost.





2. Seasonal events at no additional cost

On special dates such as September 15th, Day of the Dead, Christmas, or New Year's, some resorts offer parties and shows according to the season. If you are looking to celebrate any of these dates, before making your reservation, ask about available events and ensure they do not have an additional cost.

3. Private marina with water sports

Some All-Inclusive hotels think of the more adventurous and offer facilities for them, such as non-motorized water sports or diving pools. If you and your family are looking for these types of attractions, ensure the resort has amenities so you can practice them.





4. Warmth from the hotel staff

An All-Inclusive resort must have staff that provides top-tier attention, is mindful of guest needs, and offers warmth in their service; however, before arriving at the hotel, it is difficult to be certain that these service qualities will exist.

Tip: before booking, check reviews from previous guests on sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia. This will give you a clearer idea of what the service is like at the hotel you have chosen.

5. Great variety in restaurant menus

For vegetarian, vegan, or celiac travelers, it is essential to have a menu that features delicious options for them. If you or a family member requires a diet of any of these three types, look for an All-Inclusive that has a special menu that you can easily consult before traveling.





6. Proximity to airports

Generally, families who choose an All-Inclusive do not leave it until the day they have to return home. If this is your case, look for an option close to the airport so that both your arrival and departure from the beach destination are quick and uncomplicated.

If your idea is to do a bit of sightseeing, then consider an option that is halfway between the city center and the airports, so your trips are not too long. It is recommended that the hotel is not more than half an hour away from the places you want to visit.

7. Staying at the hotel without extra charges

Flight schedules do not always match check-in and check-out times, so it is uncomfortable to wait to enter the room or have to kill time while waiting for your return flight. This situation has led some All-Inclusive hotels to allow their guests to remain in the complex during these waiting times, at no additional charge.





You may also be interested in: How to make a travel budget for a beach trip?

Now that you know all the additional services you can get from an All-Inclusive, consider them before making your reservation so that you and your family can have an unforgettable vacation. At Hoteles Solaris, we have an All-Inclusive plan with unlimited food and drinks, day and night entertainment, early check-in and check-out with or without a hospitality room, and the ease of continuing to consume what you wish.

We have all these services and special rates throughout the year. Get in touch with us for more information and book your stay at our resort today.

What to do in Los Cabos?
26/10/2021

What to do in Los Cabos?

Los Cabos is a city in Baja California Sur, considered one of the favorite Mexican beach destinations for both domestic and international tourists. Its beaches, activities, gastronomy, and nightlife will make your end-of-year trip unforgettable.

Los Cabos is recognized worldwide for hosting some of the most important fishing, surfing, and golf tournaments, and for its wide variety of ecosystems and marine fauna with more than 850 species that can be observed at different times of the year through diving and snorkeling activities. These unique features, along with its geographical location, make it the favorite destination for countless celebrities looking to get away from the public eye from time to time.

If one of your options for spending the end of the year is at a family hotel in Los Cabos, the first thing you should know is that you won't regret it, and second, that you will find activities you can plan in advance so that, within seven days, you manage to enjoy them all. Take note!

Unmissable activities in Los Cabos

1. Visit to the Arch

The Arch that separates the Gulf of California from the Pacific Ocean is the most famous postcard of Los Cabos. This rock formation in the shape of a triceratops drinking water is an unmissable sight that can be seen up close by taking one of the different tour options available to visit the Arch.

Tip: When choosing a tour, opt for one that is safe and offers you complementary services such as food, drinks, snorkeling, and visits to other beaches.



2. Whale watching (not available all year round)

The most frequent question from tourists is when is whale watching in Los Cabos? The answer is from December to March. During these months, whales welcome their calves in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, and it is for this reason that this season has the highest probability of sightings.



3. Sunset Cruise

This is a boat that sails through calm waters during the sunsets of Los Cabos. Many tourists make this trip the highlight of their trip, as it is characterized by being full of romance during its two-hour duration. Excellent music, snacks, and an open bar on board, added to the impressive views, make this trip an unforgettable moment and highly recommended for honeymooners.



4. Kayak

This three-hour activity takes you to explore the Arch and its surroundings aboard a kayak. If you choose to board one with a transparent bottom, you will enjoy a magnificent colony of sea lions and multicolored fish. Additionally, inside Pelican Rock—a protected marine area—you will be able to submerge yourself in the water and go snorkeling.



5. Art Walk (every Thursday)

Also known as the Art Walk, this experience accompanied by wine, dinner, and the possibility of buying unique art pieces can be enjoyed every Thursday from November to June. The Art Walk is located on the narrow streets surrounding the main square of San José del Cabo; it is there that you will find this sophisticated activity that starts early.



6. Scuba Diving

For diving lovers, this is the ideal activity. These are full-day expeditions through which you can see vibrant marine life up close amidst dazzling underwater landscapes. Among the highlights of this trip are observing the sand waterfalls—a unique phenomenon that forms an avalanche of sand underwater—and diving with sea lions next to the Arch.



7. Camel Ride

Traveling through the desert mounted on a friendly camel will lead you to discover the culture and natural wonders of Baja California. These are safaris that last more than three hours and cross a beautiful private beach, including Mexican food and tequila tasting.



8. ATV Ride

This is another activity that will take you to explore Los Cabos, but this time, aboard all-terrain ATVs. On this tour, you will be able to enjoy nature by traveling through the desert, mountains, canyons, and a huge stream, until you reach Migriño beach, where you can ride another five kilometers of dunes along the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Without a doubt, it is an ideal activity for couples or entire families.

Tip: these activities and tours are less than 30 minutes away by car from Royal Solaris Los Cabos. If you choose any of them, get in touch with us for more information and book your stay at our resort today, which offers All-Inclusive stays, as our rates include accommodation, food, drinks, and tips.

What is the sand on Cancun beaches made of?
20/10/2021

What is the sand on Cancun beaches made of?

White, soft, and cool is the sand that makes up the beautiful beaches of Cancun; however, did you know that 70% of this sand is composed of tiny pieces of coral excreted by the Parrotfish? It's no joke! This animal spends most of its time biting corals to keep its beak in optimal condition.

Its existence is vital for the survival of the coral, as it is a "natural cleaner" of parasites and other beings that grow on it, and without its existence, the coral would die.

For this reason, a single parrotfish can produce up to 100 kg of white sand per year!! Those of us who are passionate about paradise beaches want this fish to be abundant.

Knowing that it is one of the most abundant fish in the reefs and after thousands of years of existence, imagine all the white sand these colorful animals have created.

But don't worry, not everything is composed of coral; it is also made of small shell fragments that get crushed by the aggressive action of the waves, especially during storms. That is why our beaches are not as white as talcum powder. So, you can rest easy while you enjoy a great walk on the beach.

How to make a travel budget for going to the beach
20/10/2021

How to make a travel budget for going to the beach

It is very simple to create a travel budget for a beach trip with your family; start by defining your destination, your travel dates, considering an all-inclusive family hotel, and estimating costs. Remember that a budget will help you if you are planning your family vacation on short notice and do not want to overspend.

Step-by-step guide to creating a travel budget

Ideally, you should plan your vacation in advance; however, according to an article published by Forbes magazine, you can plan a last-minute family trip and still be able to manage your money well. In either case, whether planning with or without much time, you need to create a travel budget that saves you unnecessary expenses. Here is what you should consider:

1. Choose your beach destination

To create your budget, you can start by deciding where you will vacation. The beaches of Cancun, Baja California, and Oaxaca are usually the most popular among both national and international tourists.

The destination greatly influences your budget because the flight cost will depend on the city you are departing from. Even so, there are beaches that, even if they are further away from your point of departure, can be accessible if you balance the costs of lodging, food, and activities.





2. Define the date of your family trip

Seasonality is also a factor you must consider, since traveling in March, July, and August is different from traveling in May, June, or September to October, which are cheaper months for a family trip. Take into account that the vacation periods established by the SEP define which time of year most people have days off to travel.

This is an indicator that will help you better plan your family vacation, as costs can decrease or increase depending on demand during certain months of the year. The recommendation is to choose a low-demand date so that your budget does not exceed your expectations.

3. Consider the vital points in your budget

Transportation, accommodation, food, activities, and even gifts and souvenirs are the most important points to consider within your travel budget. Remember that the means of transport you have to use once at your destination, food, and activities are factors that can skyrocket your expenses.

The recommendation is to choose an all-inclusive hotel that has current promotions throughout the year; this way, each member of your family will enjoy their favorite activities without needing to leave the resort. In addition to taking care of your wallet, it will give you the peace of mind that everyone will be safe and having fun on their vacation.





4. Review several options before deciding

Do not get carried away by your first flight or accommodation option. Get a quote for each point separately and consider at least three options for each. You don't necessarily have to go for the cheapest, but for the one that offers you the most benefits.

For example, a flight with a layover is usually cheaper, but you have to stick to schedules that are not always accessible, and the trip is longer, which will take away from your rest time. On the other hand, a hotel where the cost per night is lower but does not offer food, drinks, or activities will also increase your budget by having to pay for everything separately.

5. Make a list of the activities you want to enjoy

Taking into account the tastes and interests of your entire family, define which activities and events everyone will enjoy equally. At this point, it is important to negotiate to reach agreements that everyone is in tune with.

In most all-inclusive hotels, events are in line with the season. For example, if you decide to travel during October or November, you will experience the Day of the Dead celebrations and costume parties.





6. Consider extra funds for unforeseen expenses

Finally, do not forget to set aside an amount for unforeseen events and avoid traveling with just enough money. The secret to any good travel budget is to consider an amount for emergencies.

Remember that an emergency is an issue related to health, lost luggage, or an accident. Therefore, it is only in these types of cases that it is recommended to use the money set aside for unforeseen expenses.

Solaris' bartenders: we reveal their best-kept secrets

Solaris' bartenders: we reveal their best-kept secrets

By: Mariel Monges

We spoke with Diego (Head of Bars) at the Royal Solaris and GR Caribe hotels, who, with his more than 25 years of experience, has won several regional mixology awards. Diego shares some of the secrets that have helped him and the bar team achieve excellence, stay motivated, and perform at their full potential today.

- Achieving the main goal: Satisfy the guest and understand their preferences regarding the taste, color, and texture of their drink. Provide a great experience, as they look for drinks that allow them to enjoy memorable moments at Solaris with their friends or company.

- The 3 principles of mixology:
Cleanliness and hygiene: Healthy customers = happy customers!
Service must be top-notch: "treat others as you would like to be treated."
Offer unique and original drinks.

2nd Frida Kahlo Gastronomic Festival
This year we celebrated the 2nd Mexican food and drink festival, where the bar area played a very important role as around 17 drinks were created, inspired by ancestral Mexico, using ingredients such as prickly pear syrup, cocoa, chili peppers, and worm salt, but above all, our iconic Mexican drinks: tequila and mezcal.





All collaborators received recognition for their hard work and success achieved during the festival. It is a pride for Solaris to have people so dedicated, creative, and capable of creating beautiful, but above all delicious, drinks full of #PasiónSolaris





We share with you a recipe that is easy to prepare at home (courtesy of the Solaris bartenders):

CLERICOT
2 cups of red or white wine
1.5 cups of mineral water
1 tbsp. of sugar
1 cup of lime juice
1 apple, diced
2 strawberries, diced
Grapes, halved (to taste)
Vodka (optional)

Tip: Add passion fruit to give your drink a bittersweet and sophisticated touch, or make it two-toned by adding white wine first and then red wine little by little (the red will float on top of the white) ;)

With this recipe, you'll surely be the life of the party!

Cheers!

Join the cause!
27/01/2020

Join the cause!

Did you know that in Mexico, childhood cancer is the second leading cause of death in children and that a large percentage do not have any type of Social Security? This is concerning, as cancer is an expensive disease that causes considerable expense for patients' families and can condition life-saving treatment.

Therefore, foundations such as Banco de Tapitas A.C., which emerged in 2015 as a movement of young Mexicans, students, and professionals from different universities, perform great work to support children and young people suffering from this disease through the collection of plastic caps. These are taken to Collection Centers and from there to plastic injection companies (recyclers) with whom they have agreements; all the financial resources obtained are used to support children and young people with cancer.

Learn the history of Banco de Tapitas A.C.





At Hoteles Solaris de México, we are committed to supporting social causes that contribute to our community.

It is for this reason that for more than two years, we have been collecting plastic caps and donating them to the Civil Association Banco de Tapitas so that they can be delivered and used as a future financial resource for treatments for children with cancer, as we mentioned.

We invite you to join this cause by bringing your caps and leaving them with our colleagues at the front desk. Your support is very important.

Join us!

Turtle nesting season
15/07/2019

Turtle nesting season

Many of our guests ask if it is possible to go down to the beach at night to see the turtles arrive to lay their eggs. We completely understand how tempting it must be to see them, but please, if you see sea turtles arriving at the beach at night during nesting season, follow these simple rules:

Inform the prevention staff if you see a turtle at night.
Do not shine flashlights or cell phone lights in the sea turtle's face (the light can cause the female to abort the nesting process).
Do not take photographs using flashes. This high-intensity light can be even more annoying than flashlights.
Try to stay out of the turtle's sight until she begins to lay her eggs; otherwise, you may scare her and she will return to the sea.
Do not touch the turtle.
Do not make noise.
Do not smoke.
Do not handle the eggs.





Once the turtle lays its eggs, she returns to the sea, and the eggs are placed in our "protection pens" where we look after them until the turtles hatch and can be released into the sea.





Releasing turtle hatchlings into the ocean is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating and enriching moments you will ever experience. Follow the hotel rules to protect the turtles and prepare to live an incredible experience.





Keep the beaches and the sea clean by using trash cans; plastic bags, straws, plastic containers, and all types of trash that float in the sea are lethal to turtles.

Hoteles Solaris de México

Turtles are protected by Mexican law.
Nest care protocol: we follow the Sea Turtle Protection Course, taught by the ecology department, based on NOM-162

Weddings by Solaris: Making your dream weddings a reality in the Mexican Caribbean
29/11/2018

Weddings by Solaris: Making your dream weddings a reality in the Mexican Caribbean

White sand, blue Caribbean sea, and your loved one.

"I do..."

Those words mark the beginning of a new chapter, words that will lead you to the most important day you will have as a couple.

Begin visualizing and planning the most romantic event. And what better way to do it than through Weddings by Solaris, a wedding in the Solaris style.

The beach location will convey an atmosphere of tranquility and romance, allowing you to simply admire the natural beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Imagine a sunset as a spectacle of colors in the sky and, as night falls, the stars, the sea breeze, and the ambiance doing the rest.





Believe us, having a wedding on the beach will be something incomparable and a magical experience.

Perhaps you are one of those people who have visualized their wedding since they were little, where the way you imagine this moment is a dream waiting to be turned into reality.

Or perhaps it is simply something spontaneous and new to you, something you never imagined you would be organizing - and honestly, you are dying of nerves!

Luckily, by choosing us as the destination for this big day, we will make everything flow, taking care of even the smallest detail that arises... we are prepared to celebrate you and your partner!





Teamwork is something that characterizes Solaris, so rest assured that you are in safe hands, with staff experienced and passionate about their work who will provide the best service for you and your guests.

Our commitment is so personal that from the first day you choose the package that fits what you are looking for, one of our coordinators will be your contact from that day until your arrival and the special day itself. Staff with a great sense of responsibility, as they will serve as your voice and the recipient of your ideas to communicate them to the team.

Where do we start?

The recommendation is to get in touch between 6 to 9 months before the wedding, primarily because, as it is a hotel, different events take place and it is very important to have your ideal date reserved in advance. It is essential that, to reserve the date, at least 20% of the package is paid.





If you don't have a specific date yet, don't worry; with the support of your coordinator, you can find the one that best suits you. They will consult seasons and weather forecasts to minimize as much as possible any rain or storm (we don't want that!).

And well, to have everything in order, you will have a contract, which, once signed, will start the preparations. Do you have it in mind? We will do it! You will be able to choose from catalogs of food, flowers, themes, and colors. And if you want to personalize it, you are welcome to bring what you need.

As your date gets closer, things will fall into place; approximately 6 weeks before your big day, the most precise details will be completed to have the full visualization.

Another plus is that not only that day will be special, but your entire stay. From the moment you arrive, you will have personalized attention and will get to know the locations and the rest of the team, who will become your Solaris family.





And your guests? Since everyone is staying at the hotel, comfort will be their ally. Everyone will be on time at the meeting point, and if they forget something, it will be just a couple of minutes away... And what if you prefer to have an intimate wedding? Sometimes the world is just for the two of you, and that is okay; at Solaris, you can have it even if your guests are only the two of you or up to 100 people.

So get ready for the next step,
we are waiting for you in paradise!

It's fine without a straw
11/10/2018

It's fine without a straw

Drinking straws, sippers, tubes, or whatever you call them. Are they really that necessary?

Little by little, we observe that our planet is increasingly asking for our contribution to stop pollution.

Last September, the new Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive Management of Solid Waste was presented in the state of Quintana Roo, seeking to improve the quality of our environment by prohibiting the use of plastic straws, styrofoam, and polyethylene bags.



If approved and implemented, plastic waste would decrease and, in the long run, the improvement would be more than visible.

While this initiative goes through approvals and analysis, we do not want to stand by without doing something about it. That is why at our Royal Solaris Cancún, GR Solaris Cancún, and GR Caribe by Solaris hotels, the use of plastic straws is being limited, and through testing, we are looking for the best ecological option to offer for drinks that require one, such as those made with crushed ice.

Meanwhile, in Baja California Sur, reforms were approved for the State Law for Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection, which will function in a similar way: the elimination of the use of plastic bags, expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) containers, and straws. This paves the way for a major change since, according to statistics, around 138,032 straws and styrofoam containers are thrown away on the La Paz boardwalk every month.*

Royal Solaris Los Cabos is also joining this effort, where, just as in the Solaris hotels in Cancun, the use of straws on the premises has been reduced.

In conclusion, we have stopped offering drinks with this utensil in all our hotels, so if you are staying with us, your drinks will not come with one... What can you do if you need or want to use a straw? We have the following tips for you:



  • Bring your own straw: paper, steel, avocado seed, biodegradable, or edible plastic—there are many options for everyone!
  • Bring your own cup, tumbler, or beverage container: At Solaris, we have no problem refilling your container with the drink of your choice at our bars.
  • Win a contest with the Entertainment team and receive a Solaris tumbler: What better way to have the most fun and end up with the best prize to help the environment!
  • Purchase a Solaris Mug or Cup: In our Solaris Shop, we sell cups and mugs with lids and straws, and of course, with the best designs so you can have a souvenir of paradise. For sale at all our hotels!


But remember, reducing the use of straws is just the first step; let's make our best effort for our planet! We must take into account other types of plastics in our daily lives and think of alternatives. Also, if you smoke, remember not to throw cigarette butts on the street, as they are one of the biggest pollutants to the planet.

In the end, our planet will thank us!

Sargassum, what is it and how do we solve it?
26/09/2018

Sargassum, what is it and how do we solve it?

Perhaps you have read on many internet pages, social media, or through other means about the accumulation of algae on the Caribbean coasts of Mexico. Still have doubts? Here we will provide you with information to understand the situation of Cancun and the Solaris Hotels.

To begin, what is sargassum?

This marine algae originates from the Sargasso Sea, a marine area in the northwest Atlantic, near the Bermuda Islands, which is considered an ecosystem inhabited by various species of eels, crabs, shrimp, and squid.





Has there always been sargassum on the coasts of the Mexican Caribbean?

The answer is: Yes. Normally, algae travel with sea currents towards the coasts, including the coasts of Cancun. It is a normal process.

The amount of sargassum and even its arrival at a certain location depends on sea and air currents, as just as there can be days when the beach is clean, other days the same beach may have an accumulation of algae on its coast.

Does it affect the Solaris Hotels in Cancun?

Fortunately, the location of the three hotels in Cancun is an area where sea currents change and there is a lot of movement.

Yes, we do have sargassum arrival, but it is not the same as in other parts of the Mexican Caribbean (such as Puerto Morelos or Tulum).

But we also take responsibility; it is a fact that beach cleaning is carried out every day early in the morning, thus preventing plastics and other waste from reaching the sea. But now, this work has been doubled: a team focused on keeping the beach clean is present from 6 am to 6 pm, concentrating sargassum from the coasts and removing it.





We also have the support of tractor cleaning, which helps to remove sargassum and flatten the sand on the shore, so the Solaris team can carry out its work with better results.

We will continue working to keep our beaches as good as possible according to the circumstances so you can enjoy them.

Live the vacation you've always dreamed of in paradise!

How do we celebrate Mexican Independence Day?
11/09/2018

How do we celebrate Mexican Independence Day?

By Mariel Díaz

Our great national holiday is approaching, so we have included some important aspects needed to celebrate Independence Day like an authentic Mexican. Or, if you are visiting Mexico in the month of September, get ready to experience our favorite month!





Flags

What better decoration for this day than our national symbol! So, not only on this day but throughout the whole month, you will see the flag of Mexico. Don't have your own? Don't worry, this month is special for buying one, as many street stalls emerge exclusively to sell flags and tricolor decorations for the parties.





Quench your thirst with Tequila and Beer!

The distinguished Tequila and the popular beer cannot be missing from the party; while Tequila may be for the brave with nerves of steel, who enjoy it in small sips or shot by shot; there is a beer for every taste... Or many!
And although it is very hard to believe, there are people who prefer not to drink alcohol, so what better way than to enjoy delicious "aguas frescas," authentically Mexican!





Music

We Mexicans like all kinds of music, from salsa, rock, reggae, pop, reggaeton; and more... But the favorites here are Mexican, music like mariachi, rancheras, and cumbias to start the dancing!





Food

Yes, we had mentioned the drinks, but food can never be missing. From snacks to delicious dishes, Mexican gastronomy is characterized by the variety of flavors in every bite, and to celebrate independence, phew! We could never finish naming them all.
Tacos, guacamole, pico de gallo, pozole, chiles en nogada, grilled meats, tamales... And the SAUCES, let's not forget the best companion to our meals: the green one, the red one, extra spicy, sweet, of every flavor and texture!



Good company
And of course, it is the perfect date to gather with all family and friends. In homes, local venues, restaurants, or on the street, that day any place is perfect to celebrate, as long as you have the best people by your side!

The "Grito" (The Shout)
To begin with, what is the "grito"? It is not about running out to the streets and shouting or forming some kind of rhyme and saying it at the top of your lungs with your companions. It is something more traditional. The President of Mexico commemorates what was the beginning of independence: the "Grito de Dolores";

"The heads of the Executive Branch at the different levels of government —municipal presidents (...), governors, and the President of the Republic—, as well as ambassadors in representations abroad, carrying a national flag, direct a speech to the gathered population, which usually includes the following phrases:
Mexicans!
Long live the heroes who gave us our homeland and freedom!
Long live Hidalgo!
Long live Morelos!
Long live Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez!
Long live Allende!
Long live Aldama and Matamoros!
Long live our national independence!
Long live Mexico! Long live Mexico! Long live Mexico!"

It is in unison with the above that we Mexicans repeat with great pride.

Fireworks
At the end of the "grito," we have the sky painted with colors with the tradition of "fireworks" or pyrotechnics, which illuminates the faces of all the Mexicans gathered for the great celebration.





But above all... A great attitude!





Long live Mexico!

Meet Pancho Solaris!
14/08/2018

Meet Pancho Solaris!

At Hoteles Solaris de México, we have someone very special we want you to meet. Whether you visit us in Cancun or Los Cabos, we know you will run into him somewhere in the hotel. We are talking about our beloved Pancho Solaris!

And if you have visited us, there is no doubt you already know him, but how well do you really know him? In this article, we will share some fun facts about the most adored member of Solaris.





Pancho Solaris is the official mascot of Hoteles Solaris de México. The idea arose as an icon—just like a logo—to represent us. After six months of studies and guest surveys, the results showed a preference for tropical birds. Thus, Pancho was created based on a pelican and an albatross, both seabirds.

The blue color of his plumage was chosen in reference to our destination, as this color is associated with the sea, the sky, freshness, and cleanliness—elements our guests associate with coming to vacation at the beach.

But Panchito, as he is also affectionately called, is not just an image or a symbol; his personality is what defines him. He is a friendly and joking character who represents the cordiality and dynamism of the service at Hoteles Solaris de México. He is super fun! And you can see for yourself if you ever run into him at your favorite Solaris hotel.





After his creation in 2005, every August we celebrate his anniversary at all Solaris hotels, and every year we have a themed party for him, so you won't want to miss it!

We also have incredible products that you can take home so you can always have a little piece of Solaris with you. Don't forget to visit our Solaris Shop; you will love them.

Don't forget to follow us on our social media, such as Facebook:

Benefits of Yoga on the Beach
21/06/2018

Benefits of Yoga on the Beach

By: Regina Sámano

Yoga refers to a traditional physical, mental, and spiritual discipline that originated in India. This word is associated with meditation practices.

Yoga results in:
The union of the individual soul with the divine.
The perception that the "self" is spiritual and not material.
Physical and mental well-being.





This offers high therapeutic value in the physical, mental, and spiritual realms, which produces a state of harmony, allowing the energy of the body and mind to flow. It strengthens the body, improves the digestive and immune systems, and also enables a state of mental calm.

So, why abandon inner peace on vacation? Not at all! This vacation, you won't have to give up practicing your favorite physical discipline simply because you are away from home.

At Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we believe it is very important to start the day with this great discipline, so we hold our relaxing classes with incredible instructors on the beach area almost every morning.

The difference of practicing yoga on the beach focuses on comparing the scenery and the temperature surrounding you; the sea and the sand allow you to create new neural connections, which reduce stress levels for everyone who tries it.

It is recommended to practice yoga on the beach early in the morning or at sunset to avoid the heatwave. Also, keep in mind that the sun provides us with vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.

Below is a list of the benefits of doing yoga on the beach:
You breathe cleaner air, as the body receives better oxygen and nitrogen.
There is better oxygenation for the mind and body; take the opportunity to breathe deeply to cleanse your lungs with clean air.
You improve your balance in poses, because the sandy surface forces you to @Search@ for stability by coordinating the muscles of the body.
Our body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
On the other hand, the sensation of being in front of the sea, listening to the waves, feeling the breeze, and stimulating the senses is very pleasant, as this will allow for better concentration, meditation, renewal, and greater relaxation for the mind and body.

We have 10 ideal yoga poses to practice on the beach:

Warrior I
To begin your yoga day on the beach, it is convenient to start with a level that is not too high. The Warrior I pose is ideal for the first few days at the beach. With your feet together and by the seashore, take a wide stride backward while gently bending the knee of the front leg. Remember not to let your knee go past your toes when lowering yourself. Keep your palms together, raising them toward the sky above your head.





Camel Pose
In this pose, you manage to stretch your whole body and expand your chest by taking your arms back. Sitting on your heels, go on your knees, place your hands on your hips, and begin to breathe deeply, applying pressure to your hips to start arching your back backward. Tilt your head back as well until you look at the ceiling and grab your ankles with your hands.

Downward-Facing Dog
Sitting on your heels, begin to walk your hands forward, thus extending your body until you are, little by little, in the shape of a triangle with four points of support. Apply pressure against the sand while extending your legs and arms at the same time. It is important to drop your head between your arms to protect the lumbar area and prevent injuries.

Half Lotus
Sitting with your legs crossed, bring your right foot toward the thigh of the other leg, underneath it. You must place your left foot, little by little, on top of your right thigh.

Tree Pose
The tree pose is one of the basic balance poses in yoga. Standing with your back straight, fix your gaze on a specific point, breathe, and begin to lift your left foot to place it on your right thigh. Then, bring your palms together in a prayer position over your chest and slowly raise them above your head. Repeat with the other leg.

Warrior II
This position is the second variation of the initial warrior position. Separate your legs simultaneously so that they are about a meter apart. Raise both arms parallel to the ground with your palms facing down. Exhale and begin to lower yourself little by little by bending your front knee. It is important to keep the hips at the same angle, ensure the knee does not go past our front foot, and keep the arms raised and straight.

Upward-Facing Dog
This pose is perfect for stretching the spine and lumbar area well. Lie face down in a prone position (with your head to the side) with your arms at your sides. Bend your elbows and press your palms against the beach sand. Inhale and lift your hips, chest, and head.

Side Plank
Start in a plank position. Transfer your body weight to the hand you are going to keep pressing against the sand and to your feet. Align your body in a side position with your legs together, one on top of the other. Raise the opposite arm, look at the thumb of that hand, and lift your hips. Repeat the same on the other side.

Dancer Pose
Standing, bend one leg backward until you manage to hold it with the hand on that same side. Relax your chest, lean forward, and contract the inner part of your body. Try to form the largest arch possible with your back by pushing with the raised foot backward and upward. Extend the other arm forward to make it easier to maintain your balance.

Extended Side Angle
Bend your knee and move your right forearm until it rests on your right thigh. Extend your left arm toward the ceiling, over your head. Open your chest and take at least three breaths in this pose. Then, do the same on the other side.

Remember that it is very important to pay attention to your breathing in each exercise to achieve better performance.





This vacation, there is no reason to abandon this incredible exercise, because the beach can be the best place for your mind and body to reconnect.

Committed to marine life

Committed to marine life

By: Mariel Monges

Read it in english here.

One of the favorite vacation destinations is the beach: enjoying the sand, the weather, but above all, the sea. But the beach should not only be a destination to relax and have fun; it is time to take care of it.

The oceans are so important that it is essential to keep them clean. Some of their most important functions are regulating the climate, feeding millions of people, being the main producers of oxygen, an invaluable source of biodiversity, and providing countless resources. They are the largest habitats on Earth, covering 71% of the planet's surface.

Almost a million species inhabit the planet's oceans, including fish, birds, crustaceans, mammals, mollusks, and reptiles.

Currently, the vast majority of these species, regardless of their region, have been trying to survive a great threat caused by humans: pollution.

Much of this pollution is focused on human waste and the irresponsibility of its disposal, which causes thousands of forms of plastic to end up in the sea. Unfortunately, it is estimated that more than five trillion pieces of plastic are currently floating on the sea's surface.(1) An article published in the journal Science Advances by industrial ecologist Roland Geyer, from the University of California, Santa Barbara, United States, calculated the total volume of all plastic produced. And the result was 8.3 billion tons. Of that number, some 6.3 billion tons are now waste, and 79% of it is in landfills or in the natural environment.

What does this cause?
Bags, caps, bottles, hoses; plastic comes in so many forms that for some species it is not so easy to distinguish it from their food, which causes the ingestion of this waste, ending in death. In other situations, species can become trapped without access to food or suffer physical harm.

The reality is that all of this can be prevented.





At Solaris Hotels in Mexico
we firmly believe that we can help preserve this beautiful paradise and the species that live in it. Since the beginning of turtle season, as it is a spawning and gestation destination, we fulfill our responsibility to care for and protect them until the moment they set out into life. Learn about part of our commitment in the article "Sea Turtle Season 2017"

But our commitment goes further, since their life cycle begins when they reach the sea, the sea we want to care for and preserve; so we comply with some initiatives that we are proud to share so you can join us:





We restrict the use of straws in our drinks: When you visit any of our 4 hotels, whether in Cancun or Los Cabos, every drink served will be without the use of straws, thus avoiding the mass consumption of these products. "Without a straw is fine" is the social movement of SEMARNAT, which is important to apply in all consumption centers we visit.





Beach cleanup: periodically and voluntarily, we organize cleanups on our beaches with the help of our collaborators.





Plastic bottle recycling: By producing our own drinking water, we bottle it and offer it to our guests. At the end of their usage cycle, these are collected for recycling to reduce solid waste.

Bottle cap bank: With a call to all our collaborators, we collect bottle caps (or any other beverage like milk or cleaning products) for recycling, which helps us fulfill another mission: By delivering them, they are recycled and treatments are provided to children with cancer. For more information: https://www.bancodetapitas.org





Mugs with a purpose: Thanks to the art of Diego Von - Pintando con Causa, from every mug we buy to give to our most loyal guests, a percentage is donated to organizations that help wildlife.





We welcome the 2018 Turtle Season!

If you want to know how we did in 2017, we invite you to read our article "End of the 2017 Turtle Season"

Happy 48th anniversary, Cancun!
20/04/2018

Happy 48th anniversary, Cancun!

Located on the northeast coast of Quintana Roo, its beauty surrounding its beaches, the extent and biodiversity of its reefs, islands, lagoons, and cenotes, as well as the great variety of flora and fauna it possesses, has made Cancun the most globally recognized Mexican tourist destination. What were the origins of this place?





Back then, the northeast strip of what we know as the Yucatan Peninsula was full of virgin beaches. The Mexican government, with the support of Fonatur, Mexico's tourism promotion trust, had planned the creation of a tourist city within that strip of sand that showed the Sea on one side and the Nichupté Lagoon on the other.





The development of what we know today as Cancun began in 1969 with 6,000 inhabitants, and it was in 1974 that it began operations with an international airport and a hotel. Cancun at that time was the first of the five tourist hubs on the Mexican coasts, serving as the foundation for a new policy fostered in tourism.

Who would have thought that today it is one of the most recommended tourist destinations in Mexico and the world?





What does the word "Cancun" mean?

The name Cancun comes from the Mayan "kaan" and "kun" which means "nest of snakes," due to the large number of specimens that inhabit the region, thanks to the jungle area in which this city has been developed.

Our City

Cancun is located in the municipality of Benito Juarez in the state of Quintana Roo, bathed by the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea. This city has had great development at a tourist level over the last 30 years; currently, it not only has large hotels but also villas, condominiums, museums, and shopping malls where you can find everything from the largest and most prestigious brands to the best restaurants that can please even the most demanding palates.

Follow our Solaris Tip to learn more about what you can do in Cancun.

Did you know that Cancun is currently the city with the highest number of hotel rooms?

The Cancun Hotel Zone has approximately 140 hotels, 24,000 rooms, and 180 restaurants, 9 beaches certified with Blue Flag, plus you will fall in love with the turquoise blue tone that characterizes them. Learn more about our beaches here.

It is precisely for this and more that you must get to know this beautiful destination in the Mexican Caribbean. Visit Cancun and live an unforgettable vacation at our hotels: Royal Solaris Cancun, GR Caribe by Solaris, and GR Solaris!

The art of flaming coffee in Solaris
15/04/2018

The art of flaming coffee in Solaris

By: Mariel Díaz

What is it?
Flamed coffee is a drink prepared with coffee and spirits. Also known as flambéed coffee, a term that comes from the French "flamber" (which means "to make flames"), it is a way of cooking with alcohol (ethanol).





How is it made?
We have a signature procedure with a special touch to make it unique at Solaris: The first thing our specialists do is prepare the container where the coffee will be served, which is rimmed with sugar in order to add an extra decorative touch and additional flavor to the cocktails. This is the first step, because to achieve the sugared rim on the edge of the glass or cup, it must be turned upside down and placed on sugar.
Once the container is ready, a generous spoonful of whipped cream previously prepared by our great kitchen staff is added. It is followed by approximately a cup of American coffee, which causes the whipped cream to remain on the surface due to its light texture from being whipped.





Now the spectacular process begins!

A portion of coffee liqueur is taken and another of whiskey, tequila, brandy, amaretto, or xtabentún is added in a metal container. These ingredients are placed over fire and passed through the air into another identical container, thus pouring this mixture over the flame, which, being flammable, gradually begins to hold fire within it. A spectacle that dazzles everyone waiting for their coffee. This process burns off about 50% of the alcohol, which gives it a totally different flavor.
Upon finishing this process, and with the mixture literally in flames, it is served in the container that had been prepared previously. Et voìla!

Types of coffee available at our hotels
You might be wondering, what are the flavors you can enjoy when you stay at a Solaris hotel? Here are the names of each one and the liqueur that distinguishes them:
Mexican, based on tequila
Irish (or Scotch at GR Solaris), based on whiskey
Mayan, based on Xtabentún, a liqueur of Mayan origin, produced in the state of Yucatán, from the honey of bees fed on the xtabentún flower. (Only available at hotels in Cancun)
Spanish, based on brandy.
Italian, based on amaretto. (Only available at hotels in Cancun)





Flavor description
Asking our guests as well as those who prepare it, they have told us:

"It is a coffee with a touch of liqueur flavors, which is not strong. It tastes toasted, very easy to drink."

"The touch of the flambé caramelizes the liqueur a bit and multiplies the flavor of the coffee."

"It is the exact combination of a delicious Mexican coffee, the sweetness of the sugar, and the liqueur of your choice, with the coffee liqueur adding a special note. It doesn't matter if it's hot, having a flamed coffee is enjoying a visual spectacle and a comforting drink."

Cabo Pulmo, the aquarium of the world

Are you looking for something truly impressive?

Well, you probably know that in Los Cabos you can see whales at a certain time of the year or that you can visit the arch and see an incredible sunset, but have you ever heard of Cabo Pulmo?



Cabo Pulmo is a national marine park on the east coast of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, spanning the distance between Pulmo Point and Los Frailes Cape, approximately 100 kilometers north of Cabo San Lucas in the Gulf of California.

A short trip away from our hotel, you can find the majesty of what the famous explorer Jacques Cousteau called "The Aquarium of the World."

In addition, Cabo Pulmo is home to the oldest of the three coral reefs on the west coast of North America.



Estimated to be 20,000 years old, it is the northernmost coral reef in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It has a series of hard coral fingers on top of rocky outcrops parallel to the coast, occurring progressively in deeper waters offshore.

The area was designated a national park in 1995, a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005, and a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 2008.

If you have been thinking about visiting Los Cabos, we have three steps for an incredible and unforgettable vacation:

1. Stay at Royal Solaris Los Cabos

2. Book your excursion to Cabo Pulmo with Sol-Ha, our tour agency.

3. Bring your sunscreen, your sunglasses, and your camera, because you will want to capture everything you see.

Fun in Solaris

Fun in Solaris

By: Glenda Gutiérrez

Although we all know that exercising or playing a sport is a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle, many people do not do it due to time, money, or lack of motivation, and even less so while on vacation. And to be honest, it is not only good for your health, but it also fosters social development and respect for others. With this in mind, the UN General Assembly declared April 6th as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace to raise awareness about the role that sport can play in promoting human rights and economic and social development.

You don't need to be an expert athlete to enjoy practicing a sport or physical activity. If you visit Solaris Hotels in Mexico, you will be able to enjoy an incredible vacation and also have fun practicing some activities with our amazing entertainment team.

Every day, our animation teams present different activities in the pool, the sea, or in the hotel areas.
Below, we will present the different activities we have:

GR Caribe by Solaris
Being on vacation is synonymous with relaxation, and during your stay at GR Caribe, the relaxation experience will be even more complete if you sign up for our yoga classes. In the background, you can listen to the sound of the sea while you follow the movements under the instruction of our staff.





Undoubtedly a wonderful class, full of positive energy and also very fun.

Royal Solaris Cancún

To start the day full of energy, our animation team has fun zumba or aqua aerobics classes for you. It doesn't matter if you think you aren't good at dancing! Since you will learn from the experts, from basic steps to slightly more elaborate turns. Whoever said that aqua aerobics classes are boring is because they have never visited our hotel; you will experience moments full of laughter and energy.





And we have more water activities in addition to zumba and aqua fit classes, such as the famous Tequila Volleyball or water polo... You probably haven't heard much about this activity, but the Kayak Tour is ideal for those who love the outdoors and enjoy nature. Three days a week, starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Marina, a member of our entertainment team will guide you through the incredible Nichupté lagoon where you can choose between kayaking or using a paddleboat. The tour of the lagoon lasts approximately 40 minutes, where you will not only exercise but also learn a bit about the history and curiosities of this incredible lagoon in Cancun.





GR Solaris Cancún

Now, if you prefer a beach atmosphere, our animation team at GR Solaris Cancún loves to host volleyball tournaments on the beach. If you are traveling with friends or family, don't hesitate to form your own team and challenge our animation team. The best part? It doesn't matter if the team is made up of adults and children, the fun is for everyone!





But if the reason for your trip is for the little ones in the home to enjoy an incredible adventure, ask at our Mini Club about "Hue Hue," our climbing wall, named after a mountain located on the route of the volcanoes in Puebla, Mexico. The wall is 4 meters high by 6.5 meters wide.





Royal Solaris Los Cabos

And how about visiting the shores of the Pacific Ocean? Our beautiful hotel in Los Cabos has activities on its great beach.





If you are more athletic and don't want to abandon your exercise routine while on vacation, you can visit our gym with a beautiful view of the city of San José del Cabo.
#TipSolaris: Ask about the different activities offered there.





Since its inception, Solaris Hotels in Mexico has been characterized by always looking out for the good of society and especially our team. That is why every year an internal sports tournament is held, with the aim of team integration and to encourage our collaborators to practice sports.





Don't think twice! Book your vacation in paradise now. We guarantee you will live wonderful and unique moments full of fun and #PasiónSolaris

If you have an intrepid spirit, you can try ziplining and while performing a very fun activity, you will enjoy an incredible landscape.

Solaris Water, homemade water

Solaris Water, homemade water

At Hoteles Solaris de México, we are clear about our commitment to both society and the environment, which is why we contribute to the common good at every opportunity we have.

Did you know that at the Solaris Hotels in Cancun, we have desalination plants, also known as desalters?

Being one of the first hotels in Cancun to have this technology that helps the environment, as it is one of the most interesting ways to contribute to the global problem of drinking water scarcity.

Additional fact: Although 70 percent of the world's surface is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of the available water is fresh, while the remaining 97.5 percent is saltwater.





Source: Roberto Ramirez Rodríguez / monografias.com

Today, on World Water Day, we want to answer one of the most frequently asked questions from our guests... Is the water offered at Solaris Hotels in Cancun potable? The answer is... Absolutely!

To be more specific, the water you will find in your room (bottles) and the water in restaurants, as well as the ice, is purified water. And most interestingly of all, the water is purified at our GR Solaris Cancun hotel, which is responsible for supplying drinking water bottles and jugs to our sister hotels, Royal Solaris Cancun and GR Caribe by Solaris.

Everything starts by transforming 200m3 of saltwater into freshwater through a reverse osmosis process, using special membranes that pressurize the water so that all the salt sinks to the bottom, leaving only fresh water. Once this is finished, the freshwater goes through different filters, which results in it being potable.

The result of this process is reflected in the water we have in our Cancun hotels. Every day, 4,500 bottles of water of 500 ml each are produced, as well as 70 jugs of 19 liters each.





In this way, by making the most of the resources we have, we can offer "homemade" purified water for all our guests and collaborators.

On this day, we want us all to raise awareness that water is an essential resource for life, and therefore we must take actions to preserve this vital liquid.

We are a company that carries out sustainable actions!

TipSolaris: How to enjoy Tequila? We'll show you the right way.

TipSolaris: How to enjoy Tequila? We'll show you the right way.

By Mariel Díaz

Tequila is a drink that represents Mexico. As we mentioned previously in The Tequila Process, it is a product originating from a specific place in our country, a drink that everyone knows, but knowing how to drink it really has its own science.





Photo: Lucía de La Vega

How to drink tequila?

Although the best-known way is using "caballitos" or shot glasses, the correct way to drink tequila is with a brandy snifter, which will begin to reveal the true properties of the drink. The correct or recommended time to drink tequila and enjoy all its properties is 25 to 30 minutes; that is, it should be left poured for this amount of time before you start drinking.





Now, the first thing you have to keep in mind is the rhythm. Everything is slow.
To start, take just a sip (forget about downing it all at once!), you should inhale to perceive the aroma of the type of tequila you are drinking, and the moment you feel the liquid passing into your throat, exhale through your mouth; this way you will feel how the flavor of the agave rises to your throat: a completely different sensation than drinking a shot in one go.

Photo: Lucía de La Vega





Fun facts:

Tequilas come in different "categories" and to be able to differentiate between them, you need to know the aging time, that is, the time the tequila is kept in barrels until it is bottled, thus they are classified into:

-Tequila Joven: One that is not stored, but is bottled directly.

-Tequila Blanco: One that is kept in the barrel for one month.

-Tequila Reposado: The storage time is from one month to one year.

-Tequila Añejo: It is kept from one to 3 years.

-Tequila Extra Añejo: The storage time for this drink is from 3 to 12 years.

It is also important to know how to differentiate tequila from mezcal, which is known for being made in Oaxaca and can be made with different types of agave, while tequila must be made with only one type of agave, the Agave Tequilana Weber, Blue variety. If you want to learn more about both, we invite you to read about these iconic drinks HERE.
Another fact is that tequila can be 100% Agave, which means it does not contain any other element; or it can be 51% Agave with the remaining 49% composed of various sugars.

If you wish to feel the different flavors that make a tequila, such as the aging process and the type of storage, it is not recommended to mix it with other products (juices for example, or even lime and salt) because it begins to lose these properties.
Although tequila can be enjoyed in good cocktails, our Food and Beverage Manager at Royal Solaris Cancún and GR Caribe by Solaris, Rodrigo Jácome, recommends that if you prefer to drink margaritas or beverages prepared with tequila (which we make very well at Solaris!), it is advisable to do so with Tequila Joven or Blanco.

Cheers!

Chichen Itza and the Descent of the Feathered Serpent
15/03/2018

Chichen Itza and the Descent of the Feathered Serpent

Legend has it that Mayan priests would gather the entire town on the esplanade of Chichén Itzá and, to fill themselves with power, would show them how "Kukulkan," the deity better known as "The Feathered Serpent," would descend through the pyramid to speak through them.

The visual phenomenon that people would witness is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful expressions of nature that would leave its mark on generation after generation to this day.

Yucatán is one of the states of the Mexican Republic where the Mayans predominated. In this state, in addition to having Magical Towns and beautiful cenotes with crystal-clear waters, there are also regions where the ancient Mayans resided and where impressive events took place; and Chichén Itzá is the ideal place where every March 21st, thousands of people gather to witness the spring equinox, but mainly, to see Kukulkán descend from the heavens.

Located just 115 km east of the city of Mérida and 185 km from Cancún, Chichén Itzá is one of the main archaeological zones in the state of Yucatán, and the Pyramid of Kukulkán is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. For this and more, it is recommended to visit this place!





Every March 21st, thousands of people meet on the esplanade of the Pyramid of Kukulkan, where at approximately 3:45 pm the sun, by projecting its rays, causes triangular shadows to gradually form on the 9 lateral platforms of the pyramid, which "descend" to the pyramid's base, giving shape to the magnificent feathered serpent.

The visual effect is something magical and worthy of appreciation; people stand up and applaud nature by extending both arms and wearing white clothing to fill themselves with energy, just as the Mayan priests did in ancient times.

But before contemplating this amazing spectacle, do not miss the attractions in Chichén Itzá such as:

The Ball Court

The Astronomical Observatory (El Caracol)

Breakfast at Solaris

Breakfast at Solaris

By: Social Media Team

We know you have been planning your trip for a long time and that you look forward to enjoying every moment of the sun, the beach, and the activities you can do here. However, there is only one way to have the total energy to do so, and that is by having the most important meal of the day: Breakfast.

At Hoteles Solaris de México, we are very aware that breakfast is an essential part of a healthy diet, which is why we have everything you need to have a balanced diet from very early in our restaurants; from fruits, cold cuts, freshly made eggs, different deliciously prepared protein options, nutrient-rich salads, cereals, fruit juices, hot chocolate, coffee, and to accompany it, some delicious hot cakes or freshly baked bread. So, if you are about to stay with us on your next vacation, we recommend you attend our Buffet Breakfasts at each of our hotels:

ROYAL SOLARIS LOS CABOS





At Café Solaris in Royal Solaris Los Cabos, you will find a service as warm as freshly brewed coffee. In every space of this restaurant, you will feel the warmth of home, and the people who work here are so friendly that you will want to return every morning.
The guests who have stayed here will undoubtedly recommend our Mexican snacks, and the freshly baked bread is a delight that makes having breakfast a motivation every morning. Solaris Tip: Every day you will find a delicious breakfast menu, but we recommend you attend early on Mondays because we have a Mexican menu that is Ex-qui-site!

ROYAL SOLARIS CANCÚN

The Las Fuentes restaurant at Royal Solaris Cancún is known for the diversity of dishes it offers, as it features themed breakfasts every day of the week!

On Mondays (better known as #LunesMexícanisimos), you can delight yourself with typical Mexican flavors surrounded by decoration full of color and music that will remind you of every corner of our beautiful country. On Tuesdays, enjoy the Enchilada and Chilaquiles Festival; and how about preparing yourself on Wednesday to eat churros and donuts with a tasty hot chocolate? All made by our incredible cooks! Upon arriving on Thursday, we will surprise you with exclusive dishes from the Mayan region and its gastronomic heritage at the Yucatecan Festival.

Our traditions and legacy are definitely present in our buffets for you to enjoy your stay in Mexico, because we know very well that you want to get to know our gastronomy, which is so varied and world-renowned due to its 2010 designation by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

But we also love to spoil our little guests, since in addition to the buffet we offer every morning, Las Fuentes has a section with food prepared especially for them, ensuring they are happy to have breakfast before going to have fun at the Mini Club!

And as a special touch, we have a guest every morning who loves to drop by to say hello, so while you enjoy a delicious breakfast, you can have fun with the visit of Pancho Solaris! The charismatic mascot of Hoteles Solaris de México, who starting at nine in the morning, takes a few minutes to brighten up your morning together with his friends from the entertainment team.





GR SOLARIS CANCÚN

Upon your arrival at Café Solaris, in addition to the warm welcome that characterizes us, you will be amazed by the spaciousness of our restaurant. Like every good buffet at Hoteles Solaris de México, you will be able to delight yourself with a wide variety of dishes. Something that our guests appreciate almost as much as the delicious food we have is the option to have breakfast while enjoying the sound of the sea; Café Solaris has a beautiful terrace with a view of our relax area and the sea.

With all the options we have, do you still not know what to have for breakfast? You can "play it safe" and create your own omelet, and without a doubt, some of the best in all of Cancún are those prepared by our dear Obilia, who sees every guest as someone from her own family and prepares everything with a lot of love and #PasiónSolaris.

Have you finished breakfast but still have a little room? Do not hesitate to ask our waiters for our delicious "Café lechero," which is the perfect combination of coffee with milk (to your liking). Without a doubt, the best way to end breakfast and prepare yourself for a unique day in Cancún.

GR CARIBE BY SOLARIS

Also called Café Solaris, but as unique as the one in each hotel, it is a cozy space at GR Caribe by Solaris, with the same Mediterranean architecture as the rest of the hotel, featuring an incredible enclosed terrace so you can enjoy the view of the blue sea of Cancún while being protected from the sun or rain.
Everything is exquisite for breakfast here, but you definitely cannot miss the variety of house-made bread, delights that come straight from the oven to your plate.





Service is paramount to us, so if you need any special menu or have any allergies, we are here to serve you! Our staff will personally assist you with everything you need. Do not hesitate to approach our Guest Service Coordinator, the head waiter at Café Solaris, the hostess, or any waiter so they can support you and we can provide you with the food you require.*

Ahhh, and remember that... You can also enjoy a visit from Pancho Solaris here!

Tip: As we love to spoil you, in all our buffets you will find vegetarian options, and if not, you can ask the waiters about the vegetarian or gluten-free menu we have to offer you.

With a good breakfast, you will have enough energy to enjoy your vacation full of #PasiónSolaris at Hoteles Solaris de México to the fullest!

*We have gluten-free, vegetarian, and lactose-free food.

What is the Housekeeping Department?
08/03/2018

What is the Housekeeping Department?

By: Mariel Díaz

A hotel is an organization comprised of different areas, which in harmony achieve the effectiveness of its function and mission.

There are many, such as reception or the food and beverage department, which are known for directly serving the guest's needs; they are staff members known physically and who even come to form friendships with the guests.





However, one of the great tasks and responsibilities falls to the Housekeeping department, which, like all the staff that make up the hotel, works hard to maintain cleanliness, order, and that aesthetic in the decorations that liven up the hotel.





They are not as well-known as a waiter, entertainer, or bartender might be, but they are certainly there. A department that is mostly women, all members have the same level of importance.

And their work is so subtle, let us explain: When you enter your room and find everything tidy, it seems like it was a cleaning ninja or magic... This is the work of the room attendants, who are in charge of cleaning, rearranging, and replenishing the products in your room. All in record time!





What about cleaning the hallways or common areas? You don't always see them, but these people are recognized for their work in public areas. Even though everyone passes through, uses, or accidentally makes a mess by spilling their drink in the lobby - for example -, the public area staff will always be on guard to keep everything impeccable.





Or when you stay several days at the hotel, or simply want to keep your clothes clean, that is when you turn to the laundry services. There, the staff is extremely careful with the garments they handle, because washing might sound "simple" but doing it correctly is a real challenge.





And they are not only responsible for the garments for service, they also keep their colleagues' uniforms impeccable. Imagine having to leave chefs' jackets looking like new! A quite complicated task, but never impossible for this team.

And who is in charge of all this? It must be a person with a great attitude, careful with details, generous, and very honest. Here we present the managers of our four hotels: Miss Luquin from Royal Solaris Cancún and GR Caribe by Solaris, Miss Margarita from GR Solaris Cancún, and Miss Claudia from Royal Solaris Los Cabos.







With this, it is important to remember:
The work of everyone in this department is more than respectable!

That Pizza Day is celebrated in the month of love is no coincidence. Pizza has loyal followers all around the world, and with good reason. With a wide variety of styles and flavors, it has become one of the favorite foods among citizens of the world.

At Solaris Hotels in Mexico, in addition to our passion for service, we also have a passion for pizza, which is why we offer this service to all our guests at our resorts. It is well known that despite not being a dish with Mexican roots, pizza ranks second among favorite foods.

There are many daily requests made at our hotels for pizzas prepared to our guests' taste (In Los Cabos alone, between 300 and 350 pizzas are prepared per day!). Important Note: If you are staying at GR Caribe by Solaris and wish to enjoy a pizza, don't worry, you can head over to Royal Solaris Cancun to get the one of your preference.

Le Cinque Terre Pizza GR Solaris Cancun

Boots, trumpets, and sombreros Let's celebrate Mariachi Day!
21/01/2018

Boots, trumpets, and sombreros Let's celebrate Mariachi Day!

There are no melodies that make hearts leap like those played with the trumpets, guitars, and violins that make up the Mariachi.





On January 21st, Mariachi Day is celebrated in Mexico, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Mariachi is traditional music and a fundamental element of Mexican culture through which values, heritage, history, and different indigenous languages are transmitted.

Originally, these musicians played 'sones' from the west of the country, but since the 1930s, they have included huapangos, rancheras, corridos, jarabes, minuets, polkas, walloons, schottisches, waltzes, serenades, and traditional songs of rural life in their repertoires.

Some of the most important Mariachi composers have been José Alfredo Jiménez, Tomás Méndez, Rubén Fuentes, Gilberto Parra Paz, Manuel Esperón, Vicente Fernández, and Juan Gabriel, among many others.





At Royal Solaris Los Cabos, we love music composed by a Mariachi, and that is why every Monday at 8:30 pm at the Tehuacán Theater, we celebrate our Mexican Fiesta, where we feature a presentation by a talented Mariachi that will enliven your night. Additionally, on Wednesdays, some of the musicians who make up the Mariachi perform in our Restaurant Panchos, adding a Mexican flavor to your dinners.

So, if you wish to enjoy a vacation with a very Mexican touch, we give you one more reason to stay with us.

ZAI, a taste of Asia in the Caribbean
19/01/2018

ZAI, a taste of Asia in the Caribbean

If you are staying at GR Solaris Cancun, take note of the following: you must enjoy a delicious dinner at our favorite specialty restaurant.

ZAI is the name of our oriental restaurant, which combines a delicious variety of Asian cuisine. You can enjoy everything from Chinese, Thai, and Japanese to Vietnamese food.

Upon arrival, you will be enveloped in a magical atmosphere: just by listening to the music, the decor, and the general ambiance. To "whet your appetite," you will be welcomed with a refreshing fruit tea, a delicious drink that features a different variety each day for the whole family to enjoy.

Once at your place, a waiter will approach to offer you sushi, and you can choose between salmon, shrimp, chicken, or vegetables. We know it is delicious, but remember our tip: don't fill up on sushi; there are still delicious dishes on the menu left to enjoy!





In addition to the delicious food and the unique atmosphere, we must highlight the warm service that characterizes our staff, who will always be attentive if you require anything or if you want to keep enjoying more sushi (we know you do).

To end a delicious evening at ZAI, don't forget to try the delicious desserts. Our guests' favorite is the tempura ice cream, a classic that we are sure you will love; you can accompany it with a delicious hot tea or coffee, but if sweets aren't your thing, ask our staff for the famous sake.

So don't think twice and enjoy a night that will fill your senses.

Enjoy your meal!

ZAI is open twice a week; you will need to make a reservation one day in advance at our Marco Polo restaurant, or our Guest Service Coordinator will be happy to help you.

Dress code: Casual/formal; it is required to wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and a long-sleeved shirt. In case you do not have long pants, you can request a loaner pair from our captain or the hostess.

Winter at the beach

Winter at the beach

We know that the first thing you think of when someone mentions winter is snow and cold... brr.





But we want your concept of winter to change because nobody associates a piña colada, a good tan, and swimsuits with this season. It even sounds weird, right?

Not so much if you spend the winter at the beach. Imagine being in places like Cancun or Los Cabos, sunny days with temperatures of 25°C and lots of sea breeze.

Walking on the white sand of Cancun or touring the sea of Los Cabos by boat, do you know what would make it perfect? Spending this winter not just on any beach, the ideal thing is to visit Solaris!





Whether you are staying at Royal Solaris Cancun, GR Caribe by Solaris, Royal Solaris Los Cabos, or GR Solaris Cancun, the experience of being in your home away from home will always be wonderful. What better than being away from the cold, layers of clothing, scarves, and a frozen nose to have everything you need in one place.





All you need is one piece of clothing, sunglasses, and a great attitude! Enjoy the sea or the pools, lie down on a Sunbed with your favorite drink and the best delicacies we can offer you, and the warmest service that distinguishes us, full of #PasiónSolaris

It is worth living this experience in paradise.

Enjoy winter at Solaris!

The Rosca de Reyes A Mexican gastronomic tradition
06/01/2018

The Rosca de Reyes A Mexican gastronomic tradition

Did you know that Mexico has the greatest variety of sweet bread in the world?

Bakers and artisans of Mexican cuisine are known for always reinventing themselves with creations full of flavor and color. This is the result of the importance of food in Mexican celebrations, as it is an essential element.

Just as the Day of the Dead is attributed to Pan de Muerto or Pibipollo, or turkey to Christmas; Three Kings Day (or Día de Reyes) has as its representative the Rosca de Reyes: an oval-shaped figure made of sweet bread, decorated with candied fruits.





A tradition that is maintained in Mexico as it is an occasion for family or friends to have a reason to gather and socialize, and it certainly is a delicious reason!

But unlike other Mexican dishes, inside the bread of the rosca, you can find baby-shaped figures, at least four of them. These hidden figures represent the baby Jesus and how he was hidden from King Herod.

You may be wondering, what happens with the dolls when it's time to eat the rosca? There is a dynamic in Mexico: each person takes a turn to cut their chosen piece of bread from the rosca, and whoever finds a doll inside their slice must offer tamales on "Candlemas Day" (February 2nd), this day being another religious celebration.

The rosca is truly a delight that no one should miss if they have the opportunity to try it, in addition to being part of a celebration full of fun.





At Hoteles Solaris de México, a 100% Mexican company, we are proud to celebrate traditions like these and share them with our guests.

So, with the best pastry team in each of our hotels in Cancun and Los Cabos, do not doubt that the Rosca de Reyes will be present every January 6th. Enjoy it!

Wirikuta: rituals, magic and much more
21/12/2017

Wirikuta: rituals, magic and much more

By: Aline Rivas

Have you heard of Wirikuta?

Wirikuta is one of the most sacred territories in the cosmogony of the Wixarika indigenous people, as according to their beliefs, the creation of the world took place there.

In this area, the Wixarika believe the sun rose for the first time and that the ancestral deities and spirits dwell there; therefore, they consider every natural element that inhabits Wirikuta to be equally sacred. One of the most sacred rites is the pilgrimage to Wirikuta.

In Los Cabos, we have a show that will allow you to experience the Wirikuta pilgrimage in a unique way.
Between the months of October and March, the deities walk from the sea at Haramara, towards the east, to the place where the sun rose (Reunax), the current Cerro Quemado (Leunaxü). The gods were guided by Tatewari, the grandfather of fire. Above came a deer (maxa) that raised the solar disc to the sky with its antlers, giving light to the world.

But we don't want to tell you everything about this great show full of ancestral power and mystical charm. We prefer for you to experience it with all your senses.

If you will soon be staying at Royal Solaris Los Cabos, do not hesitate for a second to attend this incredible show that will fill you with the energy of the universe (just 5 minutes away from our hotel).

Visit us and enjoy Wirikuta with us. Book this show at our Sol-Ha Tour Agency.

Mexican traditions Posadas
11/12/2017

Mexican traditions Posadas

The term posada (inn) comes from the story where Mary and Joseph travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem and, unable to find a place to stay and with Mary about to give birth, they take shelter in a stable.

But in Mexico, the term and the celebration of the posadas evolved over time...



It began in the late 1580s, a time when masses began to be celebrated for nine days. Little by little, it became a celebration that included the entire population meeting in the streets, filled with songs, dances, and, of course, prayers. The posadas then began to be celebrated by different social groups, where the people attending each celebration varied, and that is how they moved from the streets into homes.

It was from the 20th century onwards that Mexican posadas took the form of the traditional celebration: nine days before Christmas, from December 16th to the 24th, gatherings are held that include reenactments of the pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph accompanied by chants.



The celebration begins when the hosts represent the innkeepers and the guests represent the pilgrims, who ask for shelter by singing the litany to request lodging. Upon finishing this presentation, everyone goes into the homes to pray, and subsequently, dinner and family time are enjoyed.



Nowadays, it has become popular to call any non-religious party held in December before Christmas Eve a "posada," filled with food, drinks, the piñata, and, of course, friends ;)

As we mentioned in our previous article "Turtle Season 2017", from the month of May to September, the arrival of this marine species takes place in the Mexican Caribbean, with the purpose of laying hundreds of eggs.

Once again this year, Hoteles Solaris de México, committed to the care and preservation of sea turtles, prepared and certified itself to protect this wonderful marine species during the season.

WHAT HAPPENED THIS 2017 SEASON?

We are proud to share the results of the 2017 season closing, as among our three hotels in Cancun, we had a total of just over 30,000 turtles released, the result of the 500 nests that we cared for day by day.

This great result was thanks to the monitoring and supervision carried out by the prevention department (*staff certified for this task) 24 hours a day, which is based on the inspection, relocation, and control of the nests, which are classified by turtle species, measurements, number of eggs deposited, and approximate hatching date.





It is important to mention that prior to the arrival of the sea turtles, one of the most important tasks that must be performed is the creation of a space for the relocation of the eggs; creating nests that are as safe as possible from both predators and external factors such as unfavorable weather conditions.



In the face of situations such as storms, as was the case with tropical storm Nate last October, eggs were recovered from the nests and kept safe in thermal boxes filled with sand taken from the same nest where they were found, placing them in a dry, cool, and safe place within the hotel facilities; each of these boxes had the nest's information label. They were checked daily, always based on the possible hatching dates, managing to release all the protected turtles.

This is how we demonstrate a small part of our great commitment to the fauna of Cancun, particularly these species of sea turtles, since some of them are in danger of extinction and their preservation begins with our help.

This great work has also made us worthy of recognition from associations, the Directorate of Ecology, the Navy, and the State government, which year after year motivate us to always give our best effort.



Remember that if you are staying at Royal Solaris, GR Caribe by Solaris, or GR Solaris, any of our three hotels in Cancun, you can clear up all your doubts with our prevention department and appreciate the release of the little turtles as they begin their adventure into the sea.

See you next year!

A taste of Los Cabos

Would you like to know the taste of Los Cabos?

The Chamber of Restaurants (CANIRAC delegation) of Los Cabos is where Sabor a Cabo began 12 years ago to help promote local gastronomy. The event was created by restaurateurs and entrepreneurs in Los Cabos who, over time, have included the best Mexican brands of Wine, Tequila, and Mezcal.





Each restaurant participates with an impressive sample of signature recipes that gives local Chefs the opportunity to serve more than 3,000 people each year.





Over the years, Sabor a Cabo has invited internationally renowned Chefs, such as Dieter Koschina (Michelin Star Chef), Enrique Olvera, Richard Sandoval, and many more.

From the beginning, the main goal has been to support local charitable organizations, where all proceeds from Sabor a Cabo have been donated to organizations working in this area for more than 12 years.









Sabor a Cabo 2017 will take place at Quivira Los Cabos (just 30 minutes from our hotel), where the Quivira Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is located.

Do not miss the opportunity to attend the most important regional culinary event in this destination, and discover the taste of Los Cabos!

History, magic and culture in Todos Santos

History, magic and culture in Todos Santos

There are many unmarked roads in Baja California Sur, Mexico. You see them from the smooth highway that connects the sleepy town of Todos Santos with the shining resorts of Los Cabos, an hour to the south, with their dusty trails carving mysterious paths through fields dotted with tall cacti. They look a bit intimidating, but as they say, "when you see a dirt road in Baja California, you should take it. There is always something interesting on the other side."

The vibrant and active town of Todos Santos was initially founded as a mission in 1724.

Todos Santos has long been special. The church, theater, cultural center, museum, and many historic buildings are often open to the public, especially during the Historic Homes Tour.



Surfing has a long history in Baja California culture, and Playa Cerritos, located about 20 minutes south of the city, is undoubtedly the most popular beach for both beginners and experts.



It is also a destination for our visiting whales.

The restaurants are very popular and serve creative cuisine with organic products. Fishermen offer fresh seafood every day. The ecology of this oasis and the magnificent Sierra Laguna mountains are the subject of many paintings, photographs, and souvenirs.

On your next visit to Royal Solaris Los Cabos, don't forget to plan a trip to Todos Santos and live a magical experience!

Spectacular whale watching in Los Cabos

Spectacular whale watching in Los Cabos

There are moments worth capturing forever. Not every day of our lives do we have the opportunity to be just a few meters away from a humpback whale.

In Los Cabos, during the months of December to March, you have the opportunity to see these imposing mammals up close while they are in their breeding season.



The impressive gray whale arrives in Mexican waters to play, mate, give birth, and also to show off to curious visitors, offering one of the most incredible natural spectacles on the planet. Very close to the boats, these animals rise vertically out of the water to take a look around, jumping joyfully with their 40 tons and kicking up clouds of water with the wide lobes of their tails, which they move up and down to swim. This movement is called spy-hopping and can last up to 30 seconds.

Humpback whales are the most common species that can be observed in the Sea of Cortez. It is also an impressive sight to see them breathe and slap their tails against the sea. Orcas can also be seen during the winter and, in smaller numbers, Bryde's and minke whales.



We invite you to experience this adventure!

Upon your arrival at Royal Solaris Los Cabos, contact our Sol-Ha Tour Agency from your room (Ext. 5230) to enjoy this wonderful spectacle; we assure you that you will take home unforgettable photos and memories.

Day of the Dead Our Icons
02/11/2017

Day of the Dead Our Icons

Life and death are an emblematic symbol that has caused admiration, fear, and uncertainty for human beings throughout history. One of the most captivating traditions in Mexico is the Day of the Dead, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage; it is a very important day for Mexicans, not as a common party, but as a celebration of life after death and the memory of loved ones who are no longer with us.

Many elements stand out in this celebration, for example, food or offerings, but the most iconic are the skulls, with La Catrina being the protagonist of this day.



Created by José Guadalupe Posada, La Catrina represented not only the dead but also a social critique of people who denied their indigenous roots to appear part of high society. For this reason, La Catrina initially only wore a hat while the rest was the naked body of the skull, with the bones representing poverty and the hat being the hallmark of European high society in Mexico.

Some time later, muralist Diego Rivera painted her with the elegant clothing we know today, and she became a very important figure for Mexican culture; it was no longer a critique of the population, but rather she became an icon of the Day of the Dead.



But hand in hand with this, we have another type of skull, which are known as Calaveritas and are literary in nature.

These are verses that contain rhymes about the death of a person. It is not about a real death, nor does it even have to be a deceased person or someone in specific; it is a satirical way of describing personality traits or relevant aspects about them that can be humorous.



But just like La Catrina, their origins were not actually these; when they were created, calaveritas were made to mock members of the state or government, which is why they were long banned or censored until their publication in a newspaper in 1840.

At Hoteles Solaris de Mexico, we live this tradition with a celebration full of joy, beliefs, colors, flavors, culture, and customs.

Let's celebrate life on this day of the dead!

Festival of Life and Death in Mexico
28/10/2017

Festival of Life and Death in Mexico

Mexico is recognized for its traditions and festivities, and one of the most popular is the Day of the Dead, which we celebrate every year on two dates: November 1st and 2nd.

This celebration, although observed throughout the country, varies in some details according to the region. We can find altars, festivals, parades, contests, dances, visits to cemeteries, and even the opening of tombs for the cleaning of the skeletons—which we know sounds very strange, but it is a pre-Columbian tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in the town of Pomuch in the state of Campeche.



On the Yucatan Peninsula, the Day of the Dead celebration is known as Hanal Pixán (Janal Pishán), words of Mayan origin that mean "food of the souls," which consists of offering the deceased their favorite food, drinks, personal items, as well as the famous pibipollo: a type of regional tamale that is made only for these dates. All this food is placed on an altar in the hope that, during these days, the soul of the deceased will taste it.



In the Riviera Maya, there is a festival to celebrate this rich part of Mexican culture that is located very close to Cancun; it is the Festival of Life and Death at XCARET.

This year, the festival focuses its festivities on Mayan traditions, a theme titled "The Dance of the Pixanes," where you can enjoy concerts, dances, exhibitions, offerings, theatrical performances, interactive workshops, tours, and more. A party that begins on October 30th and ends on November 2nd at Xcaret Park.



Preserving the Day of the Dead is very important for Mexicans, as it is a tradition that has endured throughout the history of our country. You should not miss this unique experience of living face-to-face with one of the most incredible traditions that you will find only in Mexico. Ask at our travel agency Sol-Ha (travelcancun@hotelessolaris.com) and experience the Day of the Dead!

Keep them warm with what you have

Keep them warm with what you have

You don't need a special reason to help others. In Mexico, if there is anything that can move many hands, it is the simple act of being in solidarity. It is important to remember that solidarity implies understanding, availability, and collaboration; it entails getting involved and sharing.

With this thought and sentiment, Hoteles Solaris de México decided to create the altruistic program "Warm them up with what you have," which invites collaborators and guests to donate a piece of clothing in good condition or new to be taken to marginalized communities in the region.



Although it is not just clothes, for Christmas or Three Kings' Day we hold a toy drive to bring smiles to children. Thus, together we can make sure many children enjoy their holidays.



The rest of the year, our hotel staff, in conjunction with international or local associations, takes this support to the regions most in need in Cancun and Los Cabos.

Why? Because at Hoteles Solaris de México we firmly believe that we are all family, and family always supports each other.



So, if you are planning to visit one of the Solaris Hotels in Cancun or Los Cabos soon, and you have clothes or toys in good condition, do not hesitate to bring them. Help us improve the life of someone who needs it!

The Wonders of the American Continent

The Wonders of the American Continent

The New World was how America was described when it was discovered, this part of planet Earth that men from Europe, Asia, and Africa had never known, and on October 12th, this history would change.

The beginning of miscegenation, the discovery of new cultures, a totally different flora and fauna, and people with scientific knowledge that impacted the European men who arrived in these lands.

Today, from Canada to Argentina, it remains a place with great variety in inhabitants, languages, customs, habits, and landscapes. It is the only continent that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. We can also find the largest tropical forest in the world: the Amazon Rainforest, a huge green lung that covers 9 countries: Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname.

Atacama, a desert known as one of the driest places in the world located in Chile, where it could go years without rain and yet has a blossoming that makes it a colorful place.



After Russia, Canada is the second-largest country in the world. A country with a cold climate where people are known for their friendliness and extreme sports in the snow.

Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, and Christ the Redeemer are part of the 7 wonders of the modern world. Thus, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil boast these monumental places that receive millions of visits per year.



New York is the greatest city in the world, filled with so many attractions that not even a month would be enough to tour everything this concrete jungle has in every corner.

The Caribbean islands and their white beaches with crystal-clear waters. A paradise on earth.



And we could continue with the count, but what better than to discover the American continent like never before. Here in Cancun, we have the beach, Mayan culture, and some of the best gastronomy you will ever taste, so you can start from this wonderful destination.

Regardless of the purpose, sharing a special occasion like traveling with so many people is an incredible experience.

Solaris Hotels of Mexico An inclusive company

Hoteles Solaris de México has been committed to society for several years through social programs, support for needy and vulnerable communities, and by not discriminating against people who want to be part of the Solaris family. On this occasion, we would like to highlight the labor inclusion of older adults, seeking the social reactivation of senior citizens in society, as well as the benefit to the family economy, as many continue to be economic providers in their homes.

Many of them live through social programs or, in the worst cases, live solely on charity.

Therefore, providing the opportunity for employment with a salary and benefits to older adults not only favors their economy, but also their environment, security, nutrition, health, and education.

At Hoteles Solaris de México, age does not matter, nor does it matter if a collaborator has any motor, hearing, or intellectual disability; all that matters is that they want to live the #PasiónSolaris and make our mission of "Making our guests happy through unique vacations" their own, and give their best, so that together we can build a dignified environment with human rights for all.

Happy International Day of Older Persons!

International Day of Peace: Awareness and brotherhood of nations

International Day of Peace: Awareness and brotherhood of nations

The International Day of Peace is celebrated around the world every September 21st. The General Assembly has declared it a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and their peoples.



The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations as an annual celebration of non-violence and ceasefire worldwide. Each year, many people everywhere around the world pay tribute to peace in various ways.

The International Day of Peace offers people around the world a common date to think about how they can contribute, individually, to ensuring that natural resources are managed sustainably, reducing the potential for conflict and paving the way for a sustainable future, "The future we want."



This year the campaign is titled "Together for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All," following the spirit of TOGETHER, a global initiative whose goal is for people who have been forced to leave their homes in search of a better life to enjoy respect and safety and live with dignity. TOGETHER was launched during the Summit for Refugees and Migrants held on September 19, 2016, and brings together the entire United Nations system, the 193 Member States, the private sector, civil society, academic institutions, and citizens to support diversity, non-discrimination, and the acceptance of refugees and migrants.



Hoteles Solaris de México joins this commemoration, taking into account the needs, and at the same time, the urgency of establishing optimal channels that link us and allow for coexistence among all human beings, understanding ourselves as citizens of the world, as fellow travelers in life's journey, and understanding that there are no borders, walls, or barriers other than those in our minds.

This September 21st, let us raise awareness about the Peace we need as individuals, as a society, and as human beings.

Solaris Hotels of Mexico and the care of the beaches

Today, September 17th, is a very important date for Hoteles Solaris de México, as it celebrates International Coastal Cleanup Day; very beautiful places that can be composed of diverse sands and waters depending on their location, but regardless of the diversity, everyone loves spending at least one day on them.

But this day, more than helping us remember the good moments by the sea and the peace it grants us, has a duty: to raise humanity's awareness of the care of these places, the flora and fauna that inhabit them, and that depend on them to live and reproduce.

In our different hotels, in the beautiful cities of Los Cabos and Cancún, everything is planned a few days in advance: we call on our collaborators to join with the purpose of cleaning our beaches, an invitation involving the values that distinguish the company we are.

Thus, the day arrives, and from very early on, all participants in this initiative gather at the points with the materials and tools that will help fulfill our mission. At that moment everyone can participate, achieving as a society unification for our planet, our home.



At Hoteles Solaris de México, we are committed and very grateful for everything that nature offers us; that is why not only on this day, but 365 days a year, we keep our beaches clean and have initiatives to reduce pollution in them.

Holbox a dream come true

Paradise beaches, a quiet island and a relaxed life... That is Holbox, paradise on earth. It is located in the north of the state of Quintana Roo and has become one of the most visited spots by tourists.

The island of Holbox offers kilometers of white virgin beaches with coral sand, and it is possible to walk on it without burning your feet, even with the radiant sun that characterizes the tropical climate. Since not everything is about the beach in Holbox, its island landscape is combined with the exuberant vegetation of its mangroves; and in turn, this beautiful island has a protected area called Yum Balam, which is home to more than 30 species of migratory birds, with Holbox serving as their resting area.



The visit of the largest fish in the world

Year after year, during the months of May to September, Holbox receives a visit from a colossus of the seas, the whale shark, who despite its name, is neither a whale nor a common shark; it is just a very large fish that likes to travel alone and feeds on plankton, so it poses no danger to humans.

If you are interested in living this wonderful experience, we have the ideal tour for you, click here



How to get there?

From Cancun, you must take a bus at the bus station that will take you to the town of Chiquilá; once there, you will take the ferry to Holbox, where you can enjoy a magnificent 20-minute ride admiring the incredible fauna that lives in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful islands that Mexico has, which in addition to having dreamlike landscapes, the warmth of its people will amaze you. Because that defines Mexico, warmth.

What is the Yucatecan Bomba?
06/09/2017

What is the Yucatecan Bomba?

Mexico is characterized by its people, who are cheerful and have a very peculiar sense of humor, where language and its meaning are everything.

The bombas yucatecas are short verses, commonly compliments, that must always rhyme. They are said to dance partners when the jarana (a dance and musical form originating from the Yucatán Peninsula) pauses. In that moment of silence, the word bomba is shouted to the audience, the bomba is recited, and it finally concludes with the same shout of "¡Bomba!"

They are usually flattering in content, using words in a very clever way that gives the impression of improvisation and causes a certain type of amusement.

They have their origins in the Spanish coplas invented several centuries ago, which over time expanded into Spanish-speaking countries and adapted according to the people of each place.

The Yucatán Peninsula is full of traditions of Mayan and mestizo ancestry, and the jarana dance is one of them, which is why the bomba was originally recited in the Mayan language, although today it is more common to hear them in Spanish.

Here we present a Bomba in its original language, Mayan, created by the Solaris team for our dear guests and those who wish to visit us. Enjoy it!

If you want to listen to the bombas created by the Solaris team, we invite you to visit our Facebook fan pages.

Imagine finding Peace and renewing each of your senses, discovering the adventure you have always searched for and knowing the wonders of nature as close as if you could touch them.

Culture, sports, nature, history and art blend in a city known as the Gateway to the Sea of Cortez.

Just over an hour's drive from our hotel, you will discover La Paz, the famous "Port of Illusion".





Here you can snorkel with sea lions and the whale shark: the largest fish in the world. You can explore the depths of the sea by diving in what Jacques Cousteau called The Aquarium of the World, where you can get up close to 39% of the world's marine mammals.

And if sport fishing is your thing, this is the world capital for roosterfish, and you can also find championship species such as marlin, mahi-mahi and tuna.

Discover ancient cave paintings and learn about the history of a peninsula that has been inhabited for more than 8,000 years; or simply enjoy a peace that is only found in the turquoise waters of the beaches of La Paz.

The beaches of the islands of the Sea of Cortez are home to colonies of sea lions, birds and other species endemic to the South Californian region.





Approximately one hundred islands and as many islets are distributed throughout this sea.

Jacques Cousteau gave this name to the majestic Sea of Cortez. It is considered one of the five great marine ecosystems with the highest productivity and biological diversity in the world.

The nightlife, the walks along its boardwalk and the aquatic and sports activities that can be done in this place have managed to steal the heart of everyone who visits and who, without a doubt, will want to return.





So don't think about it too much, come to our Sol-Ha tour agency, schedule your visit and... Fall in love with La Paz!

Let's talk about Mexico
02/09/2017

Let's talk about Mexico

"How would you describe Mexico in one word?"

Many things are said about Mexico; people think of its food, its people, religion, politics, art, parties... A thousand things could be said about Mexico, but only a few have had the joy of knowing what Mexico is really like. And more than describing the country, it is about feeling it with each of our senses.

It is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of territory, which translates into a country with very diverse landscapes, and thus in Mexico we find everything, a little bit of every part of the world.

So what distinguishes it? Like every place, it is distinguished by its people; Mexicans are known as warm, friendly, fun-loving, and fearless people!

For example, the food. Mexico is full of predominant flavors, rich in diverse condiments where the simplest dish is anything but simple, a gastronomy popular for the taste of spice, which can range from the most unnoticeable to a point where not just anyone can handle a bite. Despite that, Mexican drinks contrast with the sweetness they bring to the palate.



All that’s left is for Mexico to conquer you with its music, and we are referring to the possibility of enjoying melodies, boleros, mariachi; music that is recognized anywhere in the world where it is heard, but without leaving behind its faithful companion: dance, that combination of movements that go to the rhythm of guitars, trumpets, violins, and drums...



Mexico is like a painting full of colors and textures, which are imprinted on clothing, food, and even on the people themselves. It is a place full of passion: Mexicans live everything to the fullest, with traditional parties with atmospheres so lively that they transport you to past eras, celebrations that last for days in honor of victories, and an immense love for family. It is magnificent to admire the masterpiece that Mexico is.

So, how would we describe Mexico in one word?: Wonderful!

Traveling with grandparents
28/08/2017

Traveling with grandparents

Traveling is about experiencing; it is the opportunity to discover new things, to give meaning to a place through the memories created there, and there is nothing better than sharing it with someone else. People always think about traveling with friends, a partner, or their immediate family, but traveling with grandparents is a totally new concept for embarking on an adventure.

Grandparents are an example of life, the foundation of a family, as they are the reason for one's own existence; it is said that we inherit much more from our grandparents than even from our parents. They give a special kind of affection, teach us stories like great storytellers, and many reinvent themselves with their grandchildren, sometimes as if they were their own parents.

In commemoration of Grandparents' Day, for those who have taught us so much about life, we recommend the following:



First, we must know our mission: What kind of trip do we want for ourselves and for them? It could be visiting a place that meant a lot to them to relive their best moments while you create your own.

You could also choose a destination they have never seen before to give them the excitement of feeling alive again, showing that despite so many years lived, they can still be surprised by the thousand things the world has to offer us.

Once we know what we want, it is very important to think about comfort, think about relaxation, good food and what type of food is most suitable, the climate, and the amenities a place offers us. Some may have a thirst for adventure, but it is always important to find a moment to rest... and recharge your batteries for more adventure!



It doesn't matter if it's a long trip, whether you have to take a plane, train, bus, boat, or a simple taxi. We must remember that a large part of the trip is also made by us and the energy we have. Don't forget the photographs!

Happy Grandparents' Day!



Solaris Tip: Remember that in our hotels we have the best facilities, specialized food, and best of all: great service that will make you feel at home.

Experience the passion for fishing in Los Cabos!
25/08/2017

Experience the passion for fishing in Los Cabos!

Some say that a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work, and we know they mean that it is a great experience to share time alongside good friends, in a relaxed environment and, if you are a little lucky, to get a good catch.

So, for them and because of them, for more than 30 years the Bisbee's Black & Blue Marlin Tournaments have been held in the Los Cabos region on the Baja California Peninsula, in Mexico.

Bisbee's is currently holding three tournaments: the East Cape Offshore, which is held every July in Buenavista; the Los Cabos Offshore Charity Tournament, and the Black & Blue Marlin Tournament which take place every October in the port of Cabo San Lucas (Just 25 minutes from our hotel).

Started in 1981 by Bob Bisbee, the Black & Blue Marlin tournament has gone from having six teams with a $10,000 dollar purse, to more than 150 teams with millions of dollars on the line. In 2006, Black & Blue Marlin had its largest total cash payout of $4,165,960 dollars (This was, and still is, the largest payout in the history of sport fishing!).



In 2000, Bisbee expanded to the east side of the Baja California Sur peninsula with the East Cape Offshore Tournament in Buenavista. In addition to marlin, this tournament included dorado and tuna; it became so popular that a third event with the same format was started in 2002 - the Los Cabos Offshore Tournament.

Over the years, each tournament has developed its own personality; with the East Cape Offshore being a more relaxed type of event: "Fishing in Cabo as it used to be," in Los Cabos it takes place a few days before the Black & Blue Marlin, and is nicknamed "The Little Bisbee," which is a very social event full of camaraderie where you can make friends, exchange stories and go fishing for a few days before "The Big Show".



The last tournament in the series, the Bisbee's Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, is hard to describe if you have never been there. It is five days of organized chaos full of excitement. With the beautiful and lively city of Cabo San Lucas as a backdrop, thousands of people crowd the marina walkways to shop, party, and watch huge fish being weighed on the scales in front of the world-famous Puerto Paraiso Plaza.

This year, the Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, the most important sport fishing event in Los Cabos, will be waiting for you from October 24 to 28,

a once-in-a-lifetime experience you will never forget, so don't miss this opportunity!

Book now with Royal Solaris Los Cabos and enjoy the passion for fishing in Los Cabos!

Mexico and the richness of its folklore

Mexico and the richness of its folklore

Visiting Mexico is an experience full of flavors, sounds, stories, and wonderful images; all of this is part of what we call folklore in a country.

Dance and music are the best-known forms of folklore in Mexico, so striking that we have been recognized around the world for our dance, but folklore is definitely much more than that.

Folklore refers to handicrafts, dances, jokes, customs, clothing, tales, stories, legends, music, proverbs, dishes, and more, common to a specific population, including the traditions of said culture.

It is what gives meaning to a population, and it is considered today as a branch of Social Sciences, with William Thoms being the first to define and assign a term to these studies in August 1846, basing it on the English terms "folk," which means people, and "lore," referring to learning or knowledge.



When you are in Mexico and you meet its people, travel through its surroundings, and enjoy the food and art, that is when you get to know the soul of this beautiful country; that is when you get to know its folklore. It is the result of our past and all its eras, everything that has made us the Mexicans we are and how we live. The indigenous, Spanish, and mestizo ancestry, and all the languages spoken in Mexico, paved the way for an identity full of colors.



In 1960, UNESCO designated August 22nd of each year as "World Folklore Day," and in this way, we celebrate an identity to which, as a 100% Mexican company, we feel proud to belong.

Cenotes Beautiful paradises full of adventure near Cancun

When you are in the Riviera Maya, there are many ways to enjoy what it has to offer. One of the most incredible experiences that brings you closer to nature, full of adventure and even history, is visiting a cenote.

From the entrance, the atmosphere changes; you are transported to a place where Mayan stories come to life, amidst locations that dazzle you with the beauty of their crystal-clear waters.

There are many types of cenotes; you can find places that are like a hidden treasure near towns or in the middle of the jungle, full of vegetation and wildlife, while others are adapted to provide a comfortable experience.

In them, you can simply swim, or for diving enthusiasts, some can reach up to 100 meters in depth or even more.

Near Cancun, we recommend four cenotes that are worth visiting:

Crystal Cenote



This is an open-air type of cenote, which has a peculiar legend about the color of its waters. It is equipped with facilities for visitors.

Dos Ojos Cenote



This is a semi-open type of cenote; the name Dos Ojos (Two Eyes) refers to the fact that it has two caves filled with blue water.

Chac Mool Cenotes



These are semi-open cenotes, a natural beauty popular for diving, with a connection between both cenotes.

Boca del Puma Cenote



This is a closed type of cenote that projects a mystical atmosphere, perfect for swimming and enjoying other activities that the place offers.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit Cancun and live this unique experience.

The art of making beer
04/08/2017

The art of making beer

Beer is an alcoholic beverage originating from Mesopotamia (from the year 4000 BC), un-distilled and with a bitter taste, made from germinated barley grains and other cereals, whose starch is fermented in water with yeast. It generally has an amber color with tones ranging from golden yellow to black, passing through reddish browns. In the Middle Ages, it was the monks who perfected the brewing process, incorporating the use of hops, a plant that gives beer its characteristic bitter taste and helps preserve it. This recipe then became popular worldwide. Due to the cold climate, other Northern European countries like Germany and England, in turn, became major beer producers. By the 18th century, with the industrial revolution, came the golden age of beer, which became mass-produced thanks to the incorporation of the steam engine into the brewing industry. Louis Pasteur discovered high-fermentation yeast, which made precise control of the transformation of sugar into alcohol possible. During the 19th century, Czech and German brewers developed beers with a better appearance, filtered and clearer beers. Around the 1970s in the United Kingdom, a decision was made to create a beer that was completely different, more attractive, and complex in taste, with more body, flavor, and aroma. The idea was born to create something on a smaller scale to maintain maximum control over the brewing process, ensuring higher quality and freshness; this drink was called craft beer. Craft beer is made exclusively with traditional ingredients in their purest and most natural state: barley malt, water, hops, and yeast. Filler cereals are NOT used, which is why craft beer offers quality products instead of low prices and advertising. In the late 1980s, craft beer arrived in the United States, producing less than 15,000 liters per year. In 1995, the first Mexican craft beer, named COSACO, was created by Gustavo González, an enthusiast of quality beer flavors, due to the lack of this beverage's availability in Mexico. He began brewing this draft beer at home. In Mexicali, Baja California, in 2002, Cervecería de Baja California (CUCAPÁ) opened, and in Jalisco, in December of the same year, one of the most famous, Cervecería Minerva, opened. In Quintana Roo, 5 craft beers are produced, which are: TULUM AKUMAL EL VIEJO MUNDO MAYA PESCADORES In Baja California, the most famous craft beers are: INSURGENTE CUCAPÁ PERRO DEL MAR BAJA BREWING FAUNA What makes craft beer different from industrial beer: Brewing Process: it is done manually with minimal machinery assistance. Ingredient Quality: they do not contain artificial additives or preservatives. Brewer's Formula: each brand seeks its own formula. At the end of the last century, this type of beer began to be produced and consumed in the central region of the country. Today, its taste has spread throughout the Republic. Discover the history and secrets of this "indie drink." Remember that these beers are NOT available in our hotels, but you can purchase them very close to our hotels. In Cancun: THE BEER BOX (Plaza Infinity. Av. Nichupté SM 19 MZ 4 LT 19) EL ESTADIO (Av. Kabah corner of Av. La Costa MZ 3 LT 2 Local 5) - You can get there by city bus or car. In Los Cabos: BAJA BREWING (one in San José del Cabo, 10 minutes from our hotel, and another in Cabo San Lucas, about 40 minutes by car from our hotel) and the one with the best view.

Solaris Hotels of Mexico, a 100% Mexican company

Grupo ROMERO, a 100% Mexican company, leader in the poultry and industrial market, based in the City of Puebla, decided to venture into the service sector in the hotel industry, through its subsidiary companies Villas Solaris and Villas Internacionales del Caribe, beginning these activities in 1988 and 1989 through the operators Ramada In and Aston.

In September 1990, Grupo ROMERO began operating its properties directly, establishing for this purpose the tourism operator HOTELES SOLARIS DE MÉXICO, which, supported by a group of brilliant hoteliers, developed and launched an innovative "ALL INCLUSIVE" concept with personalized service, consisting of two towers: Royal Tower and Caribe Tower.



Initially, the HOTEL ROYAL SOLARIS CARIBE was distinguished by operating the "ALL INCLUSIVE" concept in the Royal Tower and the traditional "EUROPEAN PLAN" in the Caribe Tower; however, given the success of the "ALL INCLUSIVE" concept, in May 1992, it was decided to operate both towers under the same system, being pioneers in this concept.



What we know today as the Royal Solaris Cancun Hotel began its operations in June 1988 under the name Ramada Renaissance. The GR Caribe hotel opened its doors in February 1990 as Aston Solaris. In July 2001, operations began for the Royal Solaris Los Cabos hotel, and on December 18, 2004, the GR Solaris Cancun hotel opened its doors for the first time.



GR Caribe By Solaris Deluxe

It's always better to travel with friends.
30/07/2017

It's always better to travel with friends.

We always believe that preparing for a trip is difficult, since making an itinerary, getting good-priced flights, and saving money to travel worry-free is truly exhausting. We also know that in the end, it will all be worth it and we will enjoy a beautiful destination surrounded by the people we love.

One might think that the simplest thing is to plan a solo trip to reduce costs, but the holidays are approaching and something tells us that these experiences must be lived with our soul friends.



When we travel, we feel freer, we forget everything that was around us; we leave behind differences and bad moods, and we begin to try and enjoy unique things that anyone could pigeonhole into the phrase: "You only live once".

Live this adventure and make the perfect plan for your next vacation!

Why travel with friends?

There are thousands of ways to take a trip, however, the most entertaining and unforgettable ones are those you take with friends. Because traveling with a friend is traveling with a brother, a confidant, and a partner in craziness.



If you are still not convinced about traveling with your friends, we present a short list of arguments to get you excited about the idea:

  • They will keep the trip's secrets. "What happens on the trip, stays on that trip".
  • Because they are unconditional. They will lend you money if necessary, they will save you from any situation if needed because they are sure you would do the same for them.
  • You will be able to be yourself without pretending. Your friends are those few people with whom, definitely, you can act without following a behavioral pattern.
  • Because they will accompany you in all your craziness. Crashing a party, dressing up, or taking ridiculous photos are just some of the crazy things your friends will follow you in.
  • You will be on the same page. You will want to do the same things. By day, explore the new city you are visiting and by night, have an incredible time. The best part, no one will criticize your schedules, your outings, or your habits.
  • You will have a topic of conversation for a lifetime. Every time you meet, you will remember that trip, which left a thousand stories, anecdotes, and good times.
  • You will live unforgettable moments. One of the best reasons to travel with friends is the experiences you will have, because most likely these will be moments that will be difficult to repeat, whether due to everyone's timing, circumstances, etc. Remember that you can share the best moments of your vacation on all Social Networks. We invite you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

The idea is for you to get encouraged and call all your friends so you can start preparing your own adventure trip, that trip you can only take with your true friends.



It is also very important that when you start planning a trip, you keep the following points in mind to have everything well organized:

  • Plan ahead. Vacationing with friends is a matter of strategy. Find days when everyone can go, and most importantly, try to travel in the low season.
  • Talk about money. Estimating a budget is only the beginning. You must think about how much you will spend per day, how many nights you will go out, if you will have dinner in certain places, and more. If you cover expenses before leaving, you will have much more fun.
  • Cooperate before the trip. Meeting frequently and giving down payments to pool what you will spend while on the trip can save many problems.
  • Choose a leader. This person is precisely the one who should manage the expenses, as well as make decisions that can cause problems if you all start arguing.

So, if you decide to go on a trip in the company of all your best friends, it is better to start planning soon so you can visit us in any of our beautiful destinations in Mexico.



Los Cabos and Cancun are waiting for you!

And if you decide to visit us, don't forget to book your best vacation at our Solaris Hotels, where we have the best options to celebrate and enjoy with friends. How about a Dinner on the Beach? Consult all our special packages HERE.

Tips
The Tequila Process
24/07/2017

The Tequila Process

Tequila is a distilled beverage native to the municipality of Tequila in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. It is made from the fermentation and distillation of juice extracted from the agave, particularly the one known as blue agave. It is perhaps the most well-known and representative drink of Mexico in the world.



1. AGAVE

The production of Tequila begins with the planting of the agave, which is a Greek word that means admirable or noble. They are grown in clay soils with a semi-dry climate without sudden changes in temperature.



2. SHREDDING

The purpose of this process is to prepare the agave fibers to extract the sugars by tearing the agave hearts as finely as possible by passing them through three consecutive shredders.



3. EXTRACTION

During this process, the sugars contained in the shredded agave fibers are extracted in the form of a solution of water and agave sugar through a diffuser to perform a gentle extraction process. From here, the agave juice and bagasse are obtained. The latter is transformed into compost for the fields.



4. COOKING

The sugars contained in the agave, such as inulin, are complex compounds that must be transformed into fermentable sugars through a hydrolysis process. It takes up to 6 hours to complete the conversion of inulins into fructose and glucose.



5. FERMENTATION

Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks using a proprietary blend of yeasts and nutrients. Each tank lasts from 24 to 28 hours with temperatures that vary from a start of 32° and ending up to 37°.



6. DISTILLATION

The first distillation is carried out in distillation columns; in this step, water is removed and the alcohol from the fermented must is concentrated. Depending on the brand, the second distillation is done in stills to obtain a tequila with an alcohol range between 55-65%.



7. FILTRATION

All tequilas are filtered using different media, starting with a cold filtration through a charcoal filter that removes excess fatty compounds that may give a cloudy appearance to the tequila. They ensure that there are no particles present in the liquid and give a bright finish to our tequilas.



8. AGING

Reposado tequilas are matured in oak wood containers for at least 2 months. Añejo tequilas are matured for at least 12 months in white oak barrels, and extra añejo tequilas rest for at least 36 months in white oak barrels.

9. BLENDING/ASSEMBLY

In this process, demineralized water is added to adjust the alcohol content, and tests are performed to ensure consistency in the profile according to the standards of each brand.

Do you like a particular tequila?

When you arrive on vacation at any of our Hoteles Solaris, don't miss visiting "La Bodeguita" where you can find different brands of tequila at a fabulous price and enjoy this 100% Mexican drink.

Los Cabos Open, 2017 a top-level event

If you are someone who is passionate about professional tennis, you will certainly be interested in this information.

Only a few cities in the world have the opportunity to host the biggest tournaments that are part of the ATP World Tour, and now, Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur, is the new destination for this prestigious Tour.

Los Cabos is a magical place with crystal-clear waters and an interesting duality: between two seas and a mountainous desert, which makes it a destination that is very difficult not to fall in love with; perhaps it is for this last reason that this tournament will be held once again on the beautiful beaches of Los Cabos.

This edition of the Los Cabos Open will take place at Cabo del Mar in the vicinity of the Delmar International School, in Cabo San Lucas, whose facilities exceed any requirement of an ATP tournament (and only 25 minutes from our hotel).



With the Spaniard Feliciano López (No. 36 and second place in 2016) confirmed from the beginning, the 2017 Open Los Cabos will feature the presence of the Czech Tomas Berdych, currently ranked 13th in the world, who will play in Mexico for the first time.



Berdych, 31, has 13 ATP titles and has finished 7 consecutive seasons in the Top 10. He played the Wimbledon final in 2010 and his highest position in the world ranking was No. 4 (May 18, 2015).

At the top of the Los Cabos Open will be the American Sam Querrey (No. 25), the new champion of the Mexican Open after defeating the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, and who will seek personal revenge in Los Cabos after a surprising first-round elimination in 2016.

Accompanying his compatriot Feliciano López as representatives of Spain, Fernando Verdasco (No. 31) will return to Los Cabos to improve his 2016 performance (first round) and possibly compete in the doubles tournament, where he is defending his semifinal spot. In the current season, the 33-year-old Verdasco has played in the semifinals of Doha and the final of Dubai in singles.

In addition to these established tennis players, the 2017 AMC will include four of the world's tennis promises, who are part of the #NextGenATP category: Karen Khachanov (RUS), Borna Coric (CRO), Frances Tiafoe (USA), and Thanasi Kokkinakis (AUS).



So, you are still in time to book with us and live a unique experience at an all-inclusive hotel and attend this incredible world-famous tournament that will take place from July 31st to August 5th of this year.

We can assure you that you will not want to miss it!

It's not all about the beach

It's not all about the beach

Cancun, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, is enchanting for its landscapes filled with blue. And it's no wonder, as not just any place is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, with its beautiful shades of blue, and a vast lagoon, "Nichupté Lagoon," home to mangroves and great biodiversity.



If you want to admire the best panoramic view of the area, go to the hotel zone, also called Cancun Island, a strip of land situated between the sea and the lagoon. In addition to contemplating the Nichupté Lagoon from afar, why not explore its mangrove-lined canals and engage in a wide variety of sports activities?

Nichupté is actually a lagoon system that measures more than three thousand hectares and is composed of seven bodies of water, among them the Bojórquez Lagoon, the Mediterráneo Lagoon, and the Lagoon of Love, named for its heart shape. Likewise, Nichupté communicates with the Caribbean Sea through two channels, the Sigfrido and the Nizuc. The main attraction of the lagoon is its mangroves, a Natural Protected Area by the Mexican government. These ecosystems are of vital importance, as they protect the coasts of Cancun from erosion and the wear resulting from storms and hurricanes. As if that were not enough, the mangroves reduce the level of pollutants in the water, favoring biodiversity and preserving the nearby reef systems of Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancun, and Punta Nizuc.



The Nichupté Lagoon is home to four types of mangroves that provide refuge to countless wild species: red, black, buttonwood, and white mangroves. Endemic plants and animals inhabit them, such as crocodiles, leopard frogs, iguanas, and white turtles.

By staying at one of our hotels in Cancun, in addition to being able to enjoy the turquoise blue and white sand beaches, you will also be able to spend incredible moments and live an experience at the private marina that we have especially for our guests, open every day from 9 am to 4 pm, equipped with kayak service, pedal boats, sunfish, and windsurfing as part of your All-Inclusive.

Don't know how to swim? Don't worry, as a safety measure, you will wear a life jacket while performing any activity in the water.

If you go with friends, have fun with the kayaks, seeing who reaches a point first. Or if you are with your partner, there is nothing more romantic than a relaxing ride on our pedal boats.



In the Nichupté Lagoon, you can also perform other activities, such as sport fishing, and, if you are more adventurous, perhaps you might be encouraged to do sports with more adrenaline such as Flyboard, water skiing, the famous Jungle Tour, or rent a waverunner to ride among the mangroves and contemplate the natural beauty of the ecosystem and perhaps you might be lucky enough to see a crocodile....It all depends on how much adrenaline you want to feel! And if you are traveling with your partner and want to live a romantic experience, do not hesitate to book through our Sol-Ha agency, the best romance tour in Cancun "Columbus Lobster Dinner Cruise," where you can live a very special evening surrounded by beautiful landscapes, live saxophone music, glasses of wine, and a delicious lobster or steak dinner.

What are you waiting for to enjoy a few days in paradise?

Stay calm and drink tequila

Stay calm and drink tequila

Visiting Mexico and not enjoying a "Good Tequila" is like never having come to Mexico at all. For a long time, this drink has been an icon of the country, making it the most important ambassador around the world.



In many places in Mexico, it is the perfect excuse to get together with friends to share anecdotes, plan the next adventure, or simply enjoy mariachi music while sipping on a "caballito de tequila". It can also be the ideal appetizer or the best companion for post-meal conversation.

Contrary to what many people think, tequila should be taken calmly. Some say it should be sipped "like kisses," meaning in small sips to properly taste its flavor. But modern culture invites you to drink it quickly, accompanied by lime and salt so you don't feel like it "burns."

In the end, everyone has their own preferences and everyone enjoys tequila with whatever companion they desire. At Hoteles Solaris de México, we have options for all our guests, from the traditional ones who like to drink tequila straight, to those who like to have something in a cocktail. And for that reason, we have our top cocktails that contain tequila.



Margarita

Undoubtedly a tequila classic, the Margarita is a cocktail made of tequila and lime juice, often served with salt or sugar on the rim of the glass. It is slightly sweet but refreshing, and excellent for these sunny days.



Tequila Sunrise

This drink originated in Sausalito, California, in the early 60s. The cocktail gets its name from its appearance when served, with color gradations that resemble a sunrise.



Paloma

This tequila classic (and a favorite of many) is prepared by mixing tequila with grapefruit-flavored soda and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. Like the margarita, this drink can also be "rimmed" with salt.



Vampiro

The Vampiro has a fruity, slightly spicy flavor. If you like Margaritas and want a spicy kick, you will love the Vampiros!

Undoubtedly, the best way to drink it is surrounded by friends and with the intention of having fun.

This summer goes perfectly with the sun, sand, sea, and... ¡Tequila!



Do you like a special kind of tequila?

When you arrive on vacation at one of our Hoteles Solaris, don't miss visiting "La Bodeguita" where you can find different brands of tequila at a fabulous price and enjoy this 100% Mexican drink.

Let's do Zumba at Royal Solaris Los Cabos! But first

We know you want to stay healthy and fit in a fun way, and that is why Royal Solaris Los Cabos has Zumba Classes for you!

Although Zumba was first introduced in Miami, United States, in 1999, this dance class originated a decade earlier in Colombia. Zumba, called the "dance party," evolved from an improvised dance class in a Colombian aerobics studio in the 80s into a widespread exercise phenomenon with more than 10 million regular participants as of October 2010.

Zumba is an exercise discipline of Colombian origin that mixes Latin rhythms such as salsa, merengue, flamenco, bachata, reggaeton, and samba, while simultaneously combining these dance routines with aerobics routines.



This is an exercise that helps you tone your muscles and lose weight!

Zumba classes offer a high-intensity workout that lasts from 50 minutes to an hour.

Like any other exercise based on aerobic workouts, the benefits that Zumba has for your body are numerous.

Considering that Zumba is a different and fun way to exercise, it is a great ally to encourage people to have more physical activity.



Burn calories

By combining different types of movements and working the entire body, each Zumba session can help you burn up to 800 calories. Of course, the amount may vary depending on the time spent per session and the speed of your metabolism.

It is fun

One of the goals of Zumba is for you to have fun so that you do not abandon the routine and meet your goal. This way of exercising completely changes the idea of sports and invites you to receive the benefits of exercise through the practice of a fun dance.



Improves mood

As with the practice of most exercises, through Zumba we stimulate the release of endorphins, which are the hormones that boost happiness and self-esteem. The fun rhythms that require coordination will help you eliminate negative energies and, once the session is over, you will have a feeling of well-being.



Combats stress

Dance movements, song rhythms, and aerobic exercises help release "feel-good" hormones and combat those that cause stress. Practicing it after a tense day will help you relax and improve your emotional health.

In the following video, Christian, who leads the lessons each day at our hotel, will show us 5 simple steps to perform before practicing Zumba, so as not to get injured in the middle of a class.

Zumba classes with Christian are another wonderful excuse to stay at Royal Solaris Los Cabos.

Mexico's most iconic spirits Tequila and Mezcal
03/07/2017

Mexico's most iconic spirits Tequila and Mezcal

Mexico, in addition to its incredible and varied gastronomy, is characterized by having different drinks in each region of the country.

On this occasion, we will talk about the 2 most popular ones: Tequila from Jalisco and Mezcal from Oaxaca.



“Did you know that… Every minute, tequila producers in Mexico ship 435 750-milliliter bottles to more than 100 countries around the world, which promotes the creation of more than 70,000 direct jobs?”

Tequila is the most representative Mexican drink worldwide and has positioned itself as one of the great ambassadors of Mexican culture. It is a distillate originating from the municipality of Tequila in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

It is made from the fermentation and distillation of agave, particularly the so-called blue agave.



Tequila began to be produced in the mid-17th century at a hacienda called Cuisillo, in the state of Jalisco. Today, there are around 160 brands and 12 haciendas that produce it, giving life to one of the most demanded Mexican products abroad.



“There are those who claim that drinking a mezcal is like sipping a little bit of Mexico, as it is a unique flavor, warm to the palate and with a characteristic aroma.”

Legend has it that a thunderous lightning bolt struck an agave plant, opening and cooking its center. From afar, the natives perceived the penetrating aroma of the nectar emanating from it and drank the liquid with fear, gifted by their deities.

Mezcal, like tequila, is made by the fermentation and distillation of an agave or several types of agaves, which can be: espadín, tobalá, arroqueño, cirial, etc.



Currently, mezcal has a "Denomination of Origin" that protects the production of this drink in the states of Durango, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacán, San Luis Potosí, Oaxaca, Puebla, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. These are the only regions in the world that have the denomination of origin called mezcal, with Oaxaca being the most representative.

Do you want to enjoy any of these delicious drinks?

We invite you to visit “La Bodeguita” in any of our Solaris Hotels where you will find the best brands of Tequila and Mezcal at an incredible price.

Evolution of the Camera in History

Evolution of the Camera in History

From a selfie, while being with friends, and even during your vacation... Any moment is perfect for taking a photo!

Cameras have been present throughout our lives to capture perfect moments and create unforgettable memories that will last forever. Do you know their history? Here we present it to you!



Joseph Niépce is best known as one of the inventors of photography and was a pioneer in the field. He developed the heliograph; a technique used to produce the world's first known photograph in 1825, the view from the window at Le Gras, the family estate.



This is the first photograph of all time.



Louis Jacques Daguerre is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype photographic process. His method required 30 minutes of exposure and was named the Daguerreotype.



Tintypes were developed in 1856 by Hamilton Smith and, decades later, George Eastman invented a flexible, unbreakable film that could be rolled. This was the birth of the first Kodak, which was offered for sale in 1888.



In 1925, the Leica I went on sale, and its immediate popularity generated a series of competitors.



Kodak launched its Retina I in 1934, although 35mm cameras were still out of reach for most people; things would soon change with the introduction of the affordable Argus A in 1936.



The Japanese camera industry began with the birth of Canon in 1936 with its 35mm rangefinder. Japanese cameras would soon become incredibly popular in the West after the Korean War, as veterans and soldiers stationed in Japan brought them back to the United States.



The first Polaroid camera appeared on the market in 1948. This was the world's first instant-picture camera. Its inventor was Edwin Land; this camera was able to produce finished positive prints from exposed negatives in less than a minute.



The first digital camera to be commercialized was sold in December 1989 in Japan: the Fuji DS-X.



In 1991, Kodak brought the Kodak DCS-100 to market; this was the beginning of a long line of professional Kodak DCS SLR cameras that used a 1.3-megapixel sensor and were priced at $13,000 USD.



The standardization of the JPEG and MPEG image formats in 1988 allowed for image and video file compression for storage on an SD or CF card. With the introduction of the Nikon D1 in 1999 at 2.47 megapixels, this was the first digital SLR to be made entirely by a major manufacturer.

By 2010, almost all mobile phones included a built-in camera with a 1-2 megapixel digital video camera resolution. Many cameras also incorporated built-in GPS.

Today, we all have a camera on our cell phones, so on your next vacation, you will have no excuses for not sharing your best photos.

And if you don't have a camera...



There are no excuses for not sharing your best moments during your vacation!

In all our hotels, we have an interactive kiosk called "iStrid," which will allow you to share how much you enjoy your vacation at Solaris through various social media channels.

Visit Solaris and live the vacation of your dreams.

From Japan to the world
18/06/2017

From Japan to the world

As one of Japan's most iconic dishes, sushi is highly popular around the globe; however, did you know that the true origin of this dish is in China?

The Chinese discovered a method to keep fish fresh, which consisted of fermenting it by adding salt and several layers of rice; this method was called narezushi. Back then, only the fish was consumed and the rice was discarded.

When this method reached Japan around the 8th century A.D., they preferred to consume the fish and rice together, becoming a cooking method called Seiseizushi.

This way of cooking fish with rice was innovated in the 19th century by Matsumoto Yoshiichi, who added one more ingredient: vinegar. In addition to this, the dish could be accompanied by vegetables or other preserved foods.

In a short time, the practice of wrapping sushi in nori seaweed began, which is the earliest precursor to the classic sushi we know today.



Fun facts about Sushi:

It is the fast food of the 21st century, surpassing hamburgers!

More than 61,000 restaurants around the world include this dish on their menus.

The Japanese believe that fish loses its flavor due to soy sauce.

You can eat it with your hands! This is how it was consumed in ancient times.

When you start eating it, we recommend starting with the fish that have the lightest flavors and concluding with the strongest flavors, so you can enjoy it better.

Avocado sushi varieties were implemented in the United States and Brazil, as well as those with rice on the outside, such as the "California Roll".

Any time is the ideal time to enjoy it!

At Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we love Sushi!

That is why in each of our Cancun hotels, you can enjoy this delicious oriental delicacy at our Sushi Bar.

So take note, as we present our recommendations for your stay at Solaris!

Royal Solaris Cancun & GR Caribe by Solaris



If you are staying at Royal Solaris or GR Caribe in Cancun this vacation, we invite you to enjoy this dish at: "LA PALAPITA: SUSHI BAR".

Turtle Season 2017
16/06/2017

Turtle Season 2017

As every year, from May to September, we experience the Sea Turtle season in the Mexican Caribbean. Hoteles Solaris de México is prepared to welcome this wonderful marine species and protect its hatchlings.

Around the world, there are 8 species of sea turtles, of which only 4 come to nest on our beautiful beaches in Cancun. These are the LOGGERHEAD, the GREEN, the HAWKSBILL, and the LEATHERBACK. The leatherback turtle has never been seen on our hotel's beach.



During the first fortnight of May, turtle mating begins, which lasts approximately 24 hours. The male turtle undertakes a great ritual to impress the female, copulating on the surface.

At the end of May, the egg-laying process occurs, which consists of the following steps:

  • They emerge from the sea in a straight line.
  • They select the nesting site.
  • They remove the sand to make a bed (the place where the nest will be).
  • They dig an incubation chamber.
  • They lay between 80 to 200 eggs per turtle (depending on the species).
  • They cover the incubation chamber along with the eggs to protect them.
  • They return to the sea in a straight line.

Turtles only lay eggs at night and this process takes about 3 hours from the moment they emerge from the sea. When they make contact with the air, they secrete a liquid from their eyes, which helps protect them from the sand while digging the nest; they do NOT cry. Incubation lasts approximately 45 to 70 days, depending on the turtle species and the climate surrounding the nests. Turtles lay eggs 1 to 5 times per season.



The process we have for the "Sea Turtle Protection and Conservation Program on Cancun beaches" is that as soon as the turtle touches our hotel beach, it is the responsibility of qualified personnel to help relocate all the eggs into a "protection corral" so they can be monitored and cared for until they hatch.

One must wait for the turtle to begin laying eggs to take each one, and upon finishing, dig a chamber-shaped hole inside the "protection corral" (in the same way the turtle does) about 60 cm deep, smoothing the bottom to accommodate the eggs. This chamber is covered with sand, and a sign is made with the data regarding the number of eggs, the species of turtle, measurements, the laying date, and the probable hatching date.

During the incubation of the turtles, the prevention staff, who have taken courses taught by biologists working for the state conservation campaign on procedures to be followed for sea turtle conservation and nesting habits, are dedicated to the surveillance, care, and protection of the species in our hotel beach area. Days before hatching, a mesh is placed around the nest to protect the turtles' exit so they are not devoured by predators and can reach their release safely.

At the time of hatching, depending on the time of day, they are kept safe to be released when the predatory seabirds that feed on the hatchlings are not flying over the coast. It is said that the first 10 years of each turtle are called "Lost Years" because it is not known exactly where they go and very few of them survive, due to the long journey they take.

Year after year, the release that takes place on the coast of Quintana Roo becomes a celebration of the efforts of civil associations protecting this reptile and the local government.



SEA TURTLE SEASON RULES

  • Notify the prevention staff if you see a turtle during the night.
  • Observe from a distance of 10 meters.
  • Do not touch the turtle.
  • Do not use flash.
  • Do not smoke.
  • Do not enter the egg protection corrals.
  • Do not handle the hatchlings without prior authorization from qualified personnel.
  • Keep the beaches and the sea clean by using trash cans. Remember that plastic bags, straws, plastic containers, and all types of trash that float in the sea are lethal to turtles.

If you have the opportunity to live and participate in the turtle release experience, it is important that you respect the staff's instructions and enjoy watching them head eagerly towards the immense sea to start their new journey.

AT OUR SOLARIS HOTELS IN CANCUN, WE HAVE 16 NESTS WITH 1905 EGGS EXPECTED TO HATCH IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.

Come and enjoy this beautiful experience at Solaris!

The End of the Earth and the Meeting of the Seas
12/06/2017

The End of the Earth and the Meeting of the Seas

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is an extension of the Pacific Ocean located between the Baja California peninsula and the states of Sinaloa and Sonora.

The tides of this gulf are among the highest on the planet, with fluctuations of up to nine meters measured at its northern end. It enjoys an immense concentration of microscopic organisms and extraordinary biological diversity thanks to abundant sunlight and nutrient-rich waters. These factors, along with its crystal-clear waters, led to this place being called "The Aquarium of the World".

The favorite destination for hundreds of tourists visiting the Sea of Cortez region is Los Cabos, a spectacular nautical corridor that connects San José del Cabo with Cabo San Lucas. It is in this place where visitors meet who are looking to have a pleasant rest or those who are looking for the opportunity to practice sailing, windsurfing, and feel the thrill of diving, and not to mention those who come for the simple pleasure of admiring the magnificent view that nature offers us at El Arco, the unique rock formation that distinguishes Los Cabos; from where the Sea of Cortez bids farewell to its visitors, who will surely return to this region where reality exceeds imagination.



El Arco is the gateway to the ocean and has a majestic appearance, with reminiscences of another world. El Arco was formed by time, by the erosion caused by the force of the winds and the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.

This part of the Baja California peninsula is also known as "The End of the Earth" and is one of the main attractions of Los Cabos.

El Arco has a beautiful view, perfect for capturing the best photographs and, of course, unforgettable moments. In addition, you will be able to see infinite marine animals in a charming gathering at any time you go.

If you wish to visit this magnificent piece of organic architecture, you should know that it is inaccessible to reach by land, but you will be able to do so through one of the most requested tours by international tourism.

At Sol-Ha, our tour agency inside the hotel, you can find information about the different tours we offer to El Arco, which are designed especially for those who want to enjoy a spectacular tour around one of the most famous beaches in Los Cabos, El Médano Beach; swim a little, eat a fresh and delicious Mexican buffet and drinks to your liking, whether for the day, or to enjoy a unique sunset.



If you are interested in scheduling a tour to "El Arco", we recommend going directly to our Sol-Ha agency or sending an email to oswaldo@hotelessolaris.com, who is in charge of our tour agency.

Live one of the best experiences of your life!

Our Oceans, Our Future

Our Oceans, Our Future

The concept of a "World Oceans Day" was first proposed in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a way to celebrate the oceans that countries of the world share and our personal connection to the sea, as well as to raise awareness about the crucial role that oceans play in our lives and the different ways people can help protect them.

The theme for this year is "OUR OCEANS, OUR FUTURE".

Why do we celebrate World Oceans Day?

To remind everyone of the major role that oceans play in our lives. They are the lungs of our planet, generating most of the oxygen we breathe.

To inform the public of the consequences that human activity has on the oceans.

To launch a global citizen movement for the oceans.

To celebrate together the beauty, the wealth, and the potential of the oceans.

The oceans cover about two-thirds of the Earth's surface and are the true pillar of life. They generate most of the oxygen we breathe, absorb a large amount of carbon emissions, offer food and nutrients, regulate the climate, and are economically important for countries that rely on tourism, fishing, and other marine resources for their income.



Facts about the oceans:

The Ocean Conference is the first United Nations conference on this subject, representing a unique and invaluable opportunity for the world to reverse the decline of the health of the oceans and seas with concrete solutions.

The oceans cover more than 70% of the globe's surface. Only 1% of the oceanic surface is protected.

The ocean absorbs nearly 25% of the CO2 added to the atmosphere annually due to human activity, thus reducing the impact of global warming.

Between 50 and 80% of life on Earth is found under the ocean surface. A group of tiny marine organisms called phytoplankton produce half of the oxygen in the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

The oceans contain about 200,000 identified species, but the actual numbers could be in the millions.

Marine fishing directly or indirectly employs more than 200 million people. More than 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. The oceans constitute the world's largest source of protein, as it is a primary source for many people.

The health of the body of water that makes up the oceans is in a critical state. Our oceans are increasingly threatened, degraded, and destroyed by human activities, reducing their ability to provide their crucial support to our ecosystems.

It is estimated that up to 40% of the world's oceans are heavily affected by pollution, the depletion of fishing resources, and the loss of coastal habitats.

Indigenous Peoples and their languages
06/06/2017

Indigenous Peoples and their languages

By: Regina Sámano

The main consequence of the Conquest of Mexico, completed by the Spanish in 1521, was the mestizaje between indigenous and Spanish people.

The territory we know today as Mexico sheltered very diverse indigenous groups, perfectly differentiated from each other, not only by their varied cultural elements, such as traditional attire, housing, religious customs, or cuisine, but by something more sharp and evident: LANGUAGE.

At the end of the 20th century, our country remains one of the main ones on the planet regarding its indigenous cultural diversity. Regarding the number of its living indigenous languages, Mexico is in second place with 68 languages; in this case, most indigenous cultures are many centuries old, some even millennia old.


Its linguistic heritage is made up of 11 linguistic families, 68 groups of this type, and 364 variants, according to the figures.

When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, a survey of the number of languages spoken in the country was not conducted; the oldest data suggests that towards the 17th century, up to 100 languages were still spoken. With the 68 existing languages, Mexico is the country in America with the largest number of native language speakers.

The 68 linguistic groups considered in this work, arranged in alphabetical order, are:

In Baja California Sur, only 1% of the population continues to use indigenous languages, even though all the native languages of this State are extinct. In this part of the Republic, the following are spoken:

  • NAHUATL
  • MIXTEC
  • ZAPOTEC
  • POPOLOCA

In Quintana Roo, 16% of the population still speaks an indigenous language. The languages that remain alive in this State of the Republic are:

  • MAYA
  • TSOTSIL
  • CH'OL
  • Q'ANJOB'AL


At Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we feel proud to be a 100% Mexican company that keeps its traditions and culture alive. #InternationalDayOfTheWorldsIndigenousPeoples

The German delicacy that conquered the world

The German delicacy that conquered the world

The German delicacy that conquered the world
By: Ana María Alcocer

Today we celebrate the irresistible delicacy of simple ingredients that conquered even the most demanding palate.

Today, the hamburger is one of the most popular dishes not only in the United States, but all over the world; however, how did this delicious dish become what it is today?



It was during the 19th century in Hamburg, Germany, that one of its dishes was becoming popular: the Hamburg steak, which consisted of minced meat used to make meatballs.

However, what really made this dish evolve into what we believe was "The First hamburger," was simply placing two pieces of round bread. This dish was accompanied by beets, pickles, tomato slices, or even chives.

Did you know that the city of Hamburg was the bridge that managed to connect Germany and the United States of America?

After the migration of Germans to said country, many took the recipe for such an appetizing steak with them, and it wasn't until 1885 that Charlie Nagreen sold this dish at fairs in Wisconsin.

The evolution of the hamburger



During the 20s, the German dish was innovated to the point that Lionel Sternberger added cheese to this delicacy, and in 1921 White Castle, the first fast-food hamburger establishment, was born in Kansas. Its creators? Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson.

Over time, hamburgers became the main menu item in roadside diners and soda shops, where they are also frequently served together with French fries and milkshakes. Does that sound familiar?

Today, hamburgers have diverse specialties and ingredients that make this dish a unique and exquisite delicacy for all tastes, and at Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we have the most delicious ones.

Check the facts!



At Solaris, we celebrate International Hamburger Day!

At Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we love to pamper our guests, and on this special day, we haven't stayed behind, so if you are staying at any of our hotels, you can enjoy this delicious dish. Enjoy your meal!

How much does a beach wedding cost in Los Cabos?

How much does a beach wedding in Los Cabos cost?

The cost of a beach wedding in the Los Cabos area depends on different factors, such as the number of guests, the menu to be served, location, and other amenities, but on average, the event costs approximately $130 USD or the equivalent in pesos.

The beaches of Los Cabos are the ideal spot to frame the union between two people thanks to their spectacular landscapes and the great variety of amenities that can be acquired to carry out a wedding, because, let's be honest… who hasn't dreamed of exchanging vows with their loved one, on the shores of the Sea of Cortez, while the sun sets?

If this is your case, we will now tell you how much you will spend on average if you want to hold your wedding on the beach in Los Cabos.

What is the price of a beach wedding?

Although the cost of a wedding depends on your vision for the event, as you can choose from different types of venues and amenities such as live music, a DJ, the duration of the event, decoration, and most importantly: the number of guests.

To give you a clear idea of the price range and average costs of weddings in Los Cabos, in general, they can cost on average $130 USD or the equivalent in pesos per person. Also, if you have a smaller budget for the event, you can organize a simple wedding with some adjustments, or take advantage of wedding packages, especially if your ceremony is more intimate, with fewer than 100 guests.

Or conversely, you can have a wedding with about 100 guests, with a cost starting from $100 USD or the equivalent in pesos, if you decide not to spare any expense, such as including a beautiful Gazebo on the beach.

The Los Cabos area is well known for its spectacular beaches and seaside locations that can give a unique flavor to your wedding.

What is needed to have a beach wedding?

The first thing you need is to organize your guest list and make a budget to know which expenses you will prioritize, for example, you can choose a higher quality banquet or better event decoration, over expenses that may not be as high a priority, such as fireworks or live music.

Tip: You can ask your guests, as a requirement to confirm their attendance, to present their plane ticket to the destination. This will help you get a real idea of who will actually attend.

The second thing you need is to choose the right venue. Most wedding venues in Cabo offer a range of package options that include everything you need for a romantic seaside ceremony, for a wide variety of budgets.

Some organizers have oceanfront properties where the wedding can be held, adapting the furniture appropriately to carry out the event on the sand. On the other hand, there are also villas or banquet halls with an ocean view, which can be more exclusive and elegant; these are usually located just a few meters from the sea.

Tip: If your budget is tight, don't worry, some all-inclusive hotels in Los Cabos offer packages for simple beach weddings that include service starting from 12 guests.

One of the best options is to choose a wedding package according to your budget, as they usually include the services of an experienced wedding planner, who can give you tips on how to save.

This is one of the main extreme sports in Cancun, as the area is perfect for practicing this sport, where you rise into the air thanks to the wind powering a parachute while you surf the sea on a board.

The beaches of Cancun are ideal for practicing it freestyle and on the waves, at beaches like Chac Mool or Delfines. Within the Cancun Hotel Zone, you will find everything from Kitesurfing schools to competition areas.

It consists of a personal hoverboard equipment strapped to your feet and propelled by two powerful jets of water that allow you to fly over the water, in true Ironman style.

The average cost is $1,500 MXN for 20 minutes.

At kilometer 10.3 of Kukulcan Boulevard, the officially named Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) has a very particular underwater art offering, made up of nearly 500 life-sized sculptures that portray everything from Mayan culture to sculptures by famous artists.

To visit the Cancun Underwater Museum you have two options; the first is to swim and snorkel, in the second option you can use a glass-bottom boat to visit the underwater installation.

The price depends on the tour and the equipment hired, but the average cost is about $70 USD for adults and $35 USD for children.

Taking Care of Mexico and the World
17/05/2017

Taking Care of Mexico and the World

Today, May 17th, we celebrate World Recycling Day.

Did you know that recycling is a process by which waste is converted into new products?

Recycling prevents the disuse of potentially useful materials, reduces water and air pollution, and reduces the consumption of raw materials and energy. It is a key component for waste reduction.

In Mexico, 70% of waste is deposited in landfills (a place intended for the final disposal of trash) and 30% in ravines, open land, and rivers.



The Metropolitan Area throws away more than 20 thousand tons a day, making it the 5th place globally with the most waste.

Because our beautiful hotels are located in stunning destinations (Cancun and San Jose del Cabo), we have some data below regarding pollution and the care that must be taken on these magical beaches.

The main cause of pollution on Mexican beaches is the drainage system that dumps its sewage directly into the sea. Another cause is the misuse of our beautiful beaches by local people and tourists.

There are many species in danger of extinction due to pollution, such as: the sea turtle, the leatherback turtle, algae (the main organism in the marine food chain), the vaquita, and whales.



To continue taking care of our destinations, we present a list of rules and recommendations:

DO NOT litter. Animals see aluminum cans as a shelter and end up getting hurt or cut; likewise, they ingest plastic or get tangled in it.

DO NOT take any flora or fauna from the area, much less take species in danger of extinction.

DO NOT feed any wild animal.

Try to rinse yourself with water before entering the sea.

Use biodegradable sunscreen or tanning lotion.



At Hoteles Solaris de Mexico, we have several points that contribute to the environment, among which we include:

NO to the use of STRAWS, as these are made of polypropylene, a plastic that is not completely biodegradable and/or recyclable.

NO to the use of BALLOONS for events, since when they burst, they fall into the sea and are mistaken for jellyfish; several animals ingest them, becoming poisoned and leading to their death.

AVOID wasting water by washing towels DAILY.

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but has had humans for 140,000 years. In perspective, let's say that the 4.5 billion years are a full day, meaning 24 hours, and the total time humans have been here is only 3 SECONDS.

AND LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

We call ourselves HOMOSAPIENS, which means “wise man.”

BUT ARE WE REALLY WISE?

We split the atom and created great machines to travel the universe and find new homes, but with that same atom, we created nuclear wars with which we destroy the home we have now.

THAT IS NOT WISE!

When intelligence speaks, wisdom listens. We DO NOT listen to the cries of Mother Nature and we DO NOT see the help she needs.

WISDOM KNOWS THAT EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION!

Now we have stronger rains, more droughts, hurricanes, and forest fires, which means there is also more pollution, more carbon, and more deforestation. We have increased animal extinction. It is said that within 10 to 100 years, we will no longer have: LIONS, RHINOS, TIGERS, GORILLAS, POLAR BEARS.



ALL THAT IN 3 SECONDS!

Species that have been on Earth longer than us will disappear because of us in just 3 seconds.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING... We are 1 in a million, we are perfectly positioned so that the Sun does not burn us and the Earth does not freeze.

WE ARE RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE!

Each species is genetically connected, and this must be recognized before it is too late.

The real crisis is not because of GLOBAL WARMING, nor ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION, much less ANIMAL AGRICULTURE… IT IS US!

It is our job to take care of Mother Nature from those who do not want to see her beauty. To make the effort all together so that we can reach the 4th SECOND!

Holidays with the little ones
12/05/2017

Holidays with the little ones

Traveling with children can be a wonderful experience if you (and they) are prepared in advance for this adventure. If you are located within the Mexican Republic and Latin America, it is likely that your trip will involve a flight to come to any of our destinations, Cancun or Los Cabos.

Today we want to present a list of several recommendations when traveling with your children:

BEFORE TRAVELING:

One of the best practices (if they are old enough) is to let the children know about the trip you will soon be taking as a family and that you will be flying to visit a great destination in Mexico. Show them a map locating the city, for example, and photos of the beach, the hotel, and attractions in the area, especially for them.



BEFORE THE FLIGHT:

It is recommended that you provide them with a backpack (a school backpack can work very well if they have one), as they feel more independent and it will lighten your load during the trip. Invite them to include some of their favorite toys in it, as well as markers or colored pencils, sheets of paper or coloring books, candies, cookies, or other treats, perhaps a new toy to give them a surprise during the trip, and a sweater (since it can sometimes be cold on airplanes).



ON THE FLIGHT:

Let them sit by the window and tell them stories about the clouds, the sky, the earth; describe it all as an adventure. During takeoff and landing, offer them a candy so their ears don't get blocked. It is sad to see and hear a child having a hard time because of the pain of blocked ears.

It is also a very good option to carry any electronic device where you can play a television show or a movie so that they are relaxed during the trip.



DURING YOUR STAY:

Choose a place that has a recreational and entertainment area for children. We recommend you visit our Mini Club at any of our hotels, Royal Solaris Cancun, GR Solaris Cancun, and Royal Solaris Los Cabos; our little guests will surely have a great time.

Make sure that the place where your little ones will be also has children their age, so they can share their experience with more children. At Solaris Hotels, you will surely have everything you are looking for to have a dream vacation.

Safety is a very important aspect; we must inform ourselves in advance about the safety measures of the place, for example, if the pool is fenced, if it closes at night, if it has a special area for children, if it has stairs, everything to avoid risks. Once at the place, we must keep in mind at all times the precautions when going to the pool with small children.



We also recommend that you brighten up your little ones with surprises that we have for them, at an additional cost, which you can purchase before they arrive at the hotel or once you are staying at any of our properties.



Don't forget to bring your camera to capture those unique and unforgettable moments that you will want to remember forever. "Come, live, enjoy, and share the #PasiónSolaris"

5 things to know about the beaches of Cancun

5 things to know about the beaches of Cancun

By: allaboutcancun.com



1.- The beaches are public.

From the high tide line, all beaches in Mexico are public zones. This means you can walk along the white sands of Cancun for miles. Not all beaches have public access, but you have the right to walk and swim on any beach in Cancun. Some hotels and resorts have restricted areas near the hotel with private sunbeds and umbrellas. If you don't want to be bothered by vendors, check if the hotel where you are staying has this option.

2.- Cancun's beaches are patrolled.

If you are in the hotel zone, you can see members of the Mexican Navy patrolling the area; the local police also monitor the beaches in vehicles.



3.- The temperature is mild throughout the year.

While it can sometimes be a bit cold, the weather in Cancun is usually around 26°C all year round; in winter it is somewhat cold –approximately 21°C– and in the summer months they are hot –around 28-30°C. This means that even if you are visiting in December or January, you will have the opportunity to swim in its paradisiacal waters.



4.- Most beaches in the Hotel Zone have lifeguards.

If you are in the hotel zone, you can expect to see lifeguards along the most popular beaches from 9 am to 6 pm. You can spot them by their Red Cross shirts and red shorts. Some hotels also have their own. This does not mean that you should not look out for your friends and family while swimming. Drowning is a real danger in any ocean environment.



5.- Flags indicate beach safety.

You will be able to see colored flags along the beach. These flags indicate swimming conditions and safety. You should pay attention to these in order to stay safe.

  • Black Flag: Dangerous. Do not swim.
  • Red Flag: Extreme caution, dangerous.
  • Yellow Flag: Caution.
  • Green Flag: Safe to swim.

Pizza in Mexico

Pizza in Mexico

By: Regina Sámano



Although pizza is a food of Italian origin coming from the city of Naples, over the years it has become quite popular around the world, especially in Mexico, thus becoming the 2nd favorite food of Mexicans, after our delicious tacos.

Pizza and its flavors vary, depending a lot on the place where it is eaten. In Mexico, it is very common for it to have very Mexican ingredients, such as chorizo, beans, avocado, jalapeños, or other types of chili peppers, to mention a few.



Don't forget that you can find the best pizzas at our hotels!

Wine and cheese, the best combination for your palate
27/04/2017

Wine and cheese, the best combination for your palate

Did you know that PAIRING is the act of tasting WINE with any food, but the most famous one is CHEESE?

Pairing wine with cheese is a French tradition. The main concept of pairing is that certain elements of wine and food, such as texture and flavor, react differently when mixed; finding the right combination of these will make eating a more pleasant experience for the palate.

Regarding wines...

WHITE OR ROSÉ WINE: soft cheeses: ricotta, feta, mozzarella, cream, and goat cheese.

RED WINE: cheddar, manchego, cantal, gruyere, parmesan, and the rest of the strong cheeses.

Regarding bread...

FRESH CHEESES: whole grain-based breads or fine herb breads.

SOFT-RIND CHEESES: grain, herb, or spice breads.

SEMI-SOFT CHEESES: neutral bread such as baguette, French, or focaccia.

BLUE CHEESES: small pieces of white bread.

HARD CHEESES: white breads.

THE STRONGER THE CHEESE, THE MORE BODY THE WINE SHOULD HAVE.

That is why our Executive Sous Chef Horacio Pérez and our Food and Beverage Assistant Karen Barrios García have some exquisite recommendations for us below:



EDAM CHEESE WITH "CASA MADERO CHARDONNAY" WHITE WINE

Dutch cheese traditionally made in a ball shape covered in paraffin. Also known as ball cheese.

Light straw-colored white wine with green hues. Aromas of pear, apple, citrus, and other tropical fruits stand out with a fine touch of pleasant wood. With a fresh and dry flavor, leaving a slight buttery taste.



ROQUEFORT CHEESE WITH "FAUSTINO CRIANZA TEMPRANILLO" RED WINE

French blue cheese made from coagulated sheep's milk. A cheese with a strong and intense flavor and smell.

Red wine with an aroma of ripe black fruits, light wood, and sweet spices with elegant balsamic nuances and a hint of vanilla.



BRIE CHEESE WITH "VILLA MONTEFIORI SHIRAZ MERLOT" RED WINE

Hard-paste cheese made with raw cow's milk, covered with a soft layer formed by mold.

Intense colored red wine with an aroma of spices and the vividness of forest fruits.



GOAT CHEESE WITH "SÉPTIMA MENDOZA MALBEC" RED WINE

It has a more acidic flavor than other cheeses, they tend to be creamier and softer than cow's milk cheeses, and their flavor is strong, just like their smell.

Red wine with aromas of fresh cherries, notes of strawberry jam, reminiscences of rosemary, watermelon, pear, and raspberry.

Remember that you can satisfy your palate by finding these select bottles in our Wine Menu at an ADDITIONAL COST with a preferential price for all our guests.

At Royal Solaris Cancun, every Thursday at the "Las Fuentes" restaurant, you can enjoy our delicious dinner

"Cheese, Bread, and Wine Festival".

Interesting facts about kissing

Today is International Kissing Day and in this article, we present some curious facts about this beautiful way of expressing feelings.

Let's celebrate!

Did you know that Philematology is the study of the evolution of the kiss, the different types of kisses, and what they trigger?

KISSES ACCORDING TO CULTURES

A kiss can have diverse meanings. In some parts of the world, it is even FROWNED UPON to greet someone with a kiss.

Below we will show you the kiss around the world:

- INDIA: birthplace of the modern kiss. It is believed that they emerged from "Eskimo kisses" and the practice of inhaling each other's breath.

- PACIFIC ISLANDERS / MAORI OF NEW ZEALAND: use the Eskimo kiss as a greeting. For them, it is a test of scent as a measure of compatibility.

- ITALY/GREECE: kissing on the lips is a common way for friends to greet each other.

- FRANCE: they have 2 types of kisses; the air kiss: it is a kiss on each cheek and they use it as a greeting. And the French kiss, which is used for romance.

- LATIN AMERICA/ASIA: they use the air kiss as a usual greeting between friends.

- CHINA/JAPAN: it was considered as intimate as sex, relegated only to the bedroom.

- VIETNAM: spouses kiss only in private and rarely kiss their children.

- SOMALIS: it means abstinence; they do not practice kissing on the lips.

- AMAZON TRIBES: they kiss as children but avoid it as adults.



TELL ME WHERE YOU KISS...

- CHEEK: a kiss between friends, family, coworkers, or acquaintances. Common greeting.

- HAND: symbol of respect and chivalry.

- NOSE: tender and playful. An indicator of romanticism or jealousy.

- FOREHEAD: speaks of protection, tenderness, and care.

CURIOUS FACTS:

- Scientists believe that we kiss to exchange genetic information and thus determine if we are partners for procreation.

- When we kiss, we use 5 of the 12 cranial nerves.

- The lips are the most exposed erogenous zone of the body.

- The romantic kiss exists in 90% of the world's cultures.

- The skin of the lips is the thinnest on our body.

- The thinness of the skin allows us to better see the blood vessels under this area.

- It is more likely that we will get sick from shaking hands than from a kiss.

- A kiss can be 10 times more effective than morphine at reducing pain.

- A kiss releases several neurotransmitters: DOPAMINE, EPINEPHRINE, NOREPINEPHRINE, ENDORPHIN, AND OXYTOCIN.

- When we kiss, the body lowers the production of the hormone cortisol, which is linked to stress.

- The first kiss is one of the clearest memories we have.

- 59% of men and 66% of women have stopped a potential relationship due to a bad kiss.

- A French kiss requires us to move 34 facial muscles.

- The main muscle we use when kissing is called the ORBICULARIS ORIS.

- A kiss causes pupil dilation, and perhaps that is why many of us close our eyes while doing it.

Did you know all these curious facts?

For these reasons and more, let's celebrate this International Kissing Day!

LET'S LIGHT UP IN BLUE

LET'S LIGHT UP IN BLUE

Did you know that it is estimated that in Mexico 1 in 115 children has autism, and that in 2007 the UN designated April 2nd of each year as World Autism Awareness Day?

Often we hear the word autism or see a person with this disorder and we don't know what to say or how to act; that is why it is important to inform ourselves, learn, and get involved.

We shouldn't be afraid, and much less stay away; we simply must inform ourselves and understand that we human beings are all different and that is exactly what makes us wonderful and unique.

If your child knows someone with autism, invite them to socialize with him; we assure you that both will learn many enriching things from each other. A child with autism can play, laugh, and enjoy life just like all children; you just have to approach them and take a moment to observe in order to understand life… to understand their life.



Why do Solaris Hotels of Mexico invite you to #TalkAboutAutism?

To raise awareness among the population about the importance of an early diagnosis that helps to begin effective programs focused on the development of communication, socialization, and cognitive skills, which will help the child to develop in society, in addition to fostering inclusion with greater tolerance and without prejudice in all aspects of the lives of children and adults with this disorder.

Why the color blue?

There are times when blue is bright like the sea on a summer day, and other times, that blue darkens and dissipates like a stormy sea.- TGD PADRES TEA


Never forget that children with autism

Enjoy the hot springs of Santa Rita in Los Cabos

Los Cabos is a municipality that has a great diversity of natural attractions; it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It not only has the distinction of being surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, but also by being in the vicinity of the mountains.

With this, outdoor activities are truly varied and fun, ranging from walking and swimming to cycling.

In the journeys somewhat far from the town, you will find Santa Rita, located in the village of Santiago, approximately 45 kilometers north of San José del Cabo.

In this place, you will be able to find natural springs, where the rocks receive the full power of the sun for most of the day, to the point of heating the water.

The hot springs of Santa Rita can be visited all year round, but the ideal time to go is between the months of October and March, because the water temperature is very high.

The best way to get to this place is to drive to the village of Santiago.[if !supportFootnotes]

Take care of the planet

Take care of the planet

By: Rosaura Ugalde

“It is very important that we all become aware of the importance of taking care of our planet.”

How many times have we read and heard this, and yet we also know that in our daily lives, there are several actions that are not carried out due to our often accelerated life tasks and routines.

Although we are becoming a little more aware of this issue, we can still do much more to mitigate the damage we do to our environment, to our home.

Let's take as an example an event that comes up several times a year when we have children: birthdays.

Whether you prepare the party for your son or daughter, or if you have more than one, there will be many more.

But also when your child is the guest at a party to share with their little friends.

Here we will give you very practical tips to use one of the three great ecological R's in these cases:

REUSE

Although we all use practical materials for parties such as disposable plastic plates and cups, we can also turn them into reusable plates and cups.

How about, when the party is over, simply washing them and using them again for a future occasion?

Children's parties look very nice with balloons, but how about substituting them with paper-based decoration instead? The internet gives you a large number of options that you can make yourself. You can reuse this decoration later if you take care of it during this event.

At the end of the party, you can use the paper that the gifts come wrapped in so that you can use it again, and if it is already very damaged, it is better to cut it into thin strips so that you can use it as a base for gifting a bottle of wine to a friend or a fruit basket.

Besides the fact that it will look very nice, you are saving paper that you would otherwise buy.

And to wrap gifts, use paper that you have at home, for example, magazines, newspaper, or sheets that you can paint and color. In this way, you can wrap gifts in a very original and economical way.

The sky is the limit in creativity.

Share with us other ways you have to reduce, reuse, or recycle what a party leaves behind.

Cenotes

Cenotes

Did you know that there are more than 10,000 cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula, although only about half have been surveyed and registered?

The word "cenote" is a term used only in Mexico and comes from the Mayan "Dzonot," which means abyss.

There are 4 types of cenotes:

  • Open: These are the oldest existing cenotes, which are surrounded by abundant vegetation; they are often confused with lagoons and can be found in wetlands or within mangroves, enriching the coastal habitat.
  • Semi-open: These have an opening at the top, the diameter of which increases as it nears the water's surface and all the way down to the bottom. These cenotes have natural light due to the proximity between the upper cavern and the water's surface.
  • Closed: These are the youngest cenotes; their shapes are circular, and they are enclosed by a vault, which may or may not have some openings on its surface, allowing sunlight to penetrate some of them. Inside these cenotes, large quantities of stalagmites and stalactites can be observed.
  • Deep open: These are the best known and most popular because they are completely open, cylindrical in shape, have completely vertical walls, and are quite tall, reaching up to 25 meters.

These are some of the most incredible Cenotes…

Holiday Happiness
20/03/2017

Holiday Happiness

A study at Erasmus University Rotterdam (Netherlands) published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life mentions that we are happier while traveling. Furthermore, the time we spend planning vacations also improves our mood. However, when the break ends, happiness levels drop very rapidly. This means that, far from being prolonged over time, the positive effect on psychological well-being caused by vacations practically disappears once we return to our routine.

However, in their research, the scientists found an exception: when vacations were very relaxing, the vacationers' happiness lasted at least two weeks after returning to work.

According to Jeroen Nawijn, co-author of the paper, the results imply several recommendations to keep in mind. From the individual's point of view, it would be better to take several vacations a year rather than one long vacation period in the summer. Furthermore, school holidays should be better distributed. And it would be advisable to plan the break, as much as possible, stress-free.

Why do we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
17/03/2017

Why do we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?

Every March 17th, in many places in the United States and in Ireland, they celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, but do you know where this story originated?

Saint Patrick was born in the year 387 in Kilpatrick, Scotland. His father was a Roman army officer. Irish pirates took the 16-year-old Patrick prisoner and sold him as a slave. He spent six years in that place and learned to speak the Celtic language. He managed to escape and went to France, where he was ordained a priest. At the age of 46, he decided to return to Ireland to evangelize its inhabitants. And there he remained for nearly three decades, until his death on March 17, 461.

Christian tradition says that Patrick explained the mystery of the Holy Trinity using a three-leaf clover. That is why it is a custom to wear a shamrock during the celebration that day. It is also common to dress in green and even dye beer this color in honor of Ireland, also nicknamed the "Emerald Isle."

Don't miss the whale watching show in Los Cabos!

In Mexican waters, near the coast of Baja California, the gray whale is born, a friendly and playful cetacean that grows up to 15 meters long and weighs up to 40 tons.

Every year, at the beginning of December, coming from the icy Arctic Ocean, thousands of gray whales arrive in the warm waters of the bays of Baja California, fleeing from their main predators: orcas, sharks, and above all, humans.

The phenomenon attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. Throughout Baja California, there are several strategic points near the coast (about 10 kilometers) to enjoy these sightings, from points near Ensenada to the coasts of the municipality of Los Cabos, passing through the Sea of Cortez and penetrating the bays of the Gulf of California near the coasts of Sinaloa and Sonora.

The Nature of Quintana Roo
03/03/2017

The Nature of Quintana Roo

The entire State of Quintana Roo boasts majestic natural landscapes. It is covered by forest areas, and in the north of the state, we find a tropical rainforest along with swamp and mangrove zones. This is why it features an impressive diversity of fauna, where the following animals are among the most popular in the region.

One of the animals native to Quintana Roo is the Crocodile; these carnivorous animals can live up to 100 years and generally inhabit swamps and lagoons. Did you know that these animals have been spotted in the Nichupté Lagoon in Cancun? Crocodiles cry continuously to moisten their eyes while they are out of the water. This reptile is a carnivore.


The sea turtles found all along the Quintana Roo coast are cold-blooded and only come to land for the purpose of nesting, but they are constantly seen in the water and are famous in various areas of Quintana Roo. They are omnivorous and live for around 150 to 200 years.


Iguanas are also another species of green-colored reptile, which are herbivorous and shed their skin. They have teeth and claws for defense, and we can always find this species in the humid areas of this beautiful Mexican coastline.


Another representative of the Quintana Roo fauna is the Toucan, a bird distinguished by its striking and colorful plumage as well as a long beak that can measure up to 20cm. These birds live in tropical areas and feed mainly on fruits and insects.



The jaguar is one of the most representative animals of the state, as it has the largest population of the species. It is considered a carnivorous feline that enjoys swimming and is situated at the top of the food chain, making it an apex predator.


And last but not least, we have a small rodent mammal called the coati, which feeds on fruits, making it a great seed disperser, since when defecating, they bury the fruit seeds, thus helping the ecosystem to continue growing. They also store extra food in their cheeks to eat later.

Atypical sighting of the Black-headed Trogon in Quintana Roo Cancun

This bird, native to the Yucatán Peninsula, is characterized by having a ring around its eye, as well as a yellow belly and a black head.

One explanation for this behavior is the prolonged drought occurring in the region, which forces the species to move in search of water.

If you come to Cancún and find this beautiful bird at the hotel or the beach, please report it to our Staff.

We all love chocolate cake!
27/01/2017

We all love chocolate cake!

True chocolate lovers should be happy, as today we celebrate "International Chocolate Cake Day," and of course, we celebrate at Solaris by tasting this extraordinary dessert, but do you know where the classic Chocolate Cake originates from?

Here is a bit of its history:

Chocolate cake became popular at the end of the 19th century, since until then, chocolate did not exist as we know it today.

As you may know, chocolate is a derivative of cocoa. And it was the Dutch chemist Casparus Van Houten who, around the year 1928, developed a method to extract from cocoa liquor, thus obtaining cocoa butter.

However, it was in the mid-19th century when Henry Nestlé, a Swiss national, came up with the idea of mixing cocoa butter with sweetened condensed milk, achieving a much creamier texture. At that moment, chocolate as we know it today was born.

Did you know... At Solaris, our Pastry Staff prepares up to 6000 cakes per year?



And what better way to celebrate this day than by sharing with you the recipe for the classic chocolate cake, take note:

Ingredients

- 2 eggs

- 1 cup of water

- 1 cup of milk

- 1/2 cup of sunflower oil

- 2 cups of regular sugar

- 2 cups of flour

- 1 cup of cocoa powder

- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence

Preparation Method:

In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Once these ingredients are well mixed, we will form a hole in the center of the mixture and add the eggs, milk, sunflower oil, and vanilla essence.

Proceed to beat the mixture for at least two minutes. The more the mixture is beaten, the finer the final result will be.

Finally, we will preheat the oven for about ten minutes at 180ºC. Meanwhile, grease the mold in which we are going to bake the mixture with butter. Lastly, flour the mold. We will pour the batter into the mold, which at this moment will be a bit runny. This is normal at this stage of the process.

Bake at 180ºC for 30 to 35 minutes.

A trick to know if our chocolate cake is fully cooked is to insert a thin knife into the center of the cake. We will see that when the chocolate cake still needs more cooking, the knife will come out stained. Once it comes out clean, we can turn off the oven.

Keep in mind that we should not take the chocolate cake out immediately, since if it has not cooled a little, it may happen that everything that has risen thanks to the baking soda might collapse and lose all its presentation.

We invite you to share the result you have obtained from this recipe on our social media!

A traditional, delicious, and very Mexican dish!
20/01/2017

A traditional, delicious, and very Mexican dish!

The quesadilla is a Mexican dish consisting of a folded corn or flour tortilla filled with any cheese that melts when heated (Oaxaca cheese or quesillo, Chihuahua cheese, Manchego cheese, etc.), or with many other ingredients.

Did you know that a quesadilla must be folded in half in the shape of a half-moon? Because if they are not folded and the cheese (and extras) are placed between two open tortillas, they are called sincronizadas. These can also be made with either flour or corn tortillas.

Quesadillas in Mexico

In northwestern and northern Mexico, quesadillas (preferably with flour tortillas) are griddled or grilled, and in addition to melted cheese, they are usually accompanied by various ingredients. Meanwhile, in the center and south of the country, they are made almost exclusively with corn tortillas.

In the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico, they are one of the most popular street foods, and the most common varieties are quesadillas with squash blossoms, potatoes, mushrooms, huitlacoche, chorizo, sliced jalapeño peppers, quelites, chicharrón, beef brains, picadillo made with ground beef or pork, tinga, etc.

In the states of northwestern Mexico, battered fish or seafood quesadillas are common, prepared in the style of Ensenada, Baja California, which are usually served with salsas, lettuce, onion, and guacamole.

In Sinaloa, there is a special variety called taco gobernador, which consists of a grilled quesadilla made with a corn tortilla, heated until toasted, and filled with shrimp machaca.
