I stayed at the Solmar 10 years ago this October for our honeymoon. Solmar is on the Pacific side, right on the beach. Nice hotel inside and out. Ocean was very rough, when we were there anyway. We would have rather stayed in a hotel on the Sea of Cortez side. Solmar is a short taxi or long walk to town. After dark, don't wander away from the tourist area.......The fishing is world class. They have an almost year round marlin season, also lots of tunas, dorados and wahoo off shore. Roosters and snappers closer to shore. We booked our fishing trips ahead of time through Fishing International....BIG MISTAKE....We paid 50% more than we should have....There were plenty of boats available every morning from small center consoles to large fly-bridges that were eager to take us out for much less than we paid. Back then, catch and release was unheard of.....If it got near the boat it got killed!!!!Granted, not much went to waste as the locals are below poverty level and they pick the bones clean for meals. It was sad seeing all the billfish hung on the scales each day... From what I have heard, they are much better now tagging and releasing the billfish at least........My wife and I often reminisced about that trip and although it was nice, we would try some other places before running back to Cabo. We have been to several islands in the Caribbean and also the east coast of Mexico and they were just as nice and the fishing was just as good and we saved over a thousand dollars compared to Cabo....
