Great resort

The hotel and grounds were very clean and well looked after. We didn't try the restaurants, the buffet was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful, but the water could get very rough, but the life guards were right there making sure everyone stayed safe. The lady at the omelette station was amazing.

GR Caribe

We were supposed to stay at GR Solaris, but due to the 24-hour flight delay by Sunwing, our room was no longer available for this Sunwing all-inclusive package. They 'upgraded' us to the quieter GR Caribe. Some may prefer the Spanish style architecture to the more modern hotels. My one issue was the food in all of their restaurants - all the ingredients were there, but the dishes were not tasty nor flavourful. Made me wonder if there was a head chef.

Good but some problems

The solaris attempted giving us 2 different rooms that were below our paid booking, but offered ocianview rooms for an additional $280.00 US. Not acceptable since the place was not full. For the second offer, we were given a coded card, hauled our bags up to 4th floor room, entered and walked in on someone asleep in the room. It was 1:00 in the morning. Not secure, not professional, not acceptable. We are 2 seniors, arriving 4 hours late, due to flight and airport delays. They finally gave u [... read more]s an oceanview room. Food is pretty good, but the main buffet is sometimes closed, sending you to the "ballroom" where everyone sits a 10 person tables. Table -mates can very. As for ale carte bookings, they will "squeese" you in, make you wait 30 minutes, then you fine the place is half empty. Weird. Lovely staff. Great sandwich deli. Beautiful beach. Safe area for bussing around. We enjoyed our stay, but would probably give the gr solaris 31/2 stars.

Lovely resort

This was our second year in a row to spend time at the same resort. This itself proves that the resort is excellent. Not only we were the repeats, but we met with quite a few visitors who come to the same resort year after year.. Our room was large, very comfortable bed with ocean view. Our pleasant surprise each day was to see beautiful animal sculptures made from towels that adorned our bed. These were made by the fellow who looked after the upkeep of our room. Food selection was excellent, [... read more] in spite of us being vegetarians. Excellent Night shows with sit down dinners is the high light of this resort. The whole resort is kept very clean and one can notice that the dedicated staff is always cleaning. Pools are lovely with pool bar. Snacks around the pool are fresh and available in unlimited quantities so are various drinks. Servers do appreciate tips but unlike some other resorts where if servers are not tipped, they tend to neglect visitors...not at this resort. Overall we give this resort 5 stars.

Excellent Resort

We travel often and found this hotel to be very clean and comfortable. The staff were incredibly attentive and thorough. The adults only pool is strategically placed so that you truly feel isolated from the party pool and kids area. We enjoyed our 7 nights at this resort and made sure to walk the beautiful white sand beach daily. The only one downfall of the resort is the food selection at lunch and supper. Most days there seemed to be ample to choose from but on a couple of days I felt th [... read more]e buffet was lacking. No worries though, there are lots of places to snack and I certainly never went to bed hungry. The views from the ocean side and the lagoon side were amazing. If you are taking a room on the lagoon side I would suggest you keep your money in your pocket for an upgrade to ocean side. The lagoon side is peaceful as you don’t get the noise from the party pool and entertainment. All in all, a beautiful resort, great staff and above average kindness and cleanliness throughout.

GR Solaris is very good resort

Hotel is very nice, lot of amenities, entertainment was good, rooms very clean and beautiful ocean view, service very good, staff very polite and friendly. Overall very good experience. The only thing I was not happy about: ocean water was not good for swimming and there was a lot of see weed.
