RETURN OF THE JEDI — 1983, Richard Marquand
Solaz Offer to Owners is UNACCEPTABLE
If you are an owner at Solaz you have probably received an email with some options asking you make a choice for “reparations.” What we do not know is the scope of the issues nor how long it will take to do whatever repair work must be done.
The email states, “Olarena Hospitality Group, owner of Solaz Resort, have decided to close the resort due to unanticipated and immediate infrastructure and rehabilitation needs and also in order to begin building new rooms, residences and, in general, expanding the resort to start a new phase of Solaz, always with the intention of providing unmatched experiences to our members, residents and guests.”
The resort is not even 3 years old, so it is clear that this is little to do with expansion.
The following options were given to us:
We would like to present the following options and ask that you advise us which best suits your needs:
Free accommodations for stays this year 2021 and 2022 in our sister property Hacienda del Mar Resort, Villas and Golf, plus 50% discount F&B and free transportation to and from the airport.
Free 7-night accommodations in Hacienda del Mar, in a standard hotel room, with flexibility on how to distribute the given days.
Waive of 2022 annual maintenance fee.
Extension of contract for the period of inconvenience
Personally, I paid extra to move my 2020 week to 2021 and planned a trip using both weeks in October. Given that we do not even know WHEN this repair work will be complete, nor how severe it is, this offer is less than acceptable even if it were ALL 4 OPTIONS! We owned at Hacienda del Mar prior to buying at Solaz - it truly is an incomparable property from the eyes of the suite owners. I’ve spent 15 years visiting and enjoying HdM, but it’s better days are behind them and it is not really a 1:1 substitute for Solaz.
I believe we are all owed a refund of the maintenance fees for those who have NOT used their weeks in 2021 (and 2020 if you bumped it up to 2021) along with a suspension of maintenance fees until we are able to see a verifiable Certificate of Occupancy. Additionally, our contracts should be extended for the year(s) we are unable to use the property in any capacity.
Solaz is a beautiful property that we have enjoyed using and look forward to using again, hopefully sooner than later. But as owners, who have continued to pay for a property we cannot use or benefit from, we are owed much more than the short, less-than-adequate explanation a DAY AFTER CLOSING THE PROPERTY. I understand not wanting to be alarmist, but it is clear there are bigger problems afoot than they are wanting to share.
Stay tuned….
July 13, 2021
Yesterday, on 7/12/21, I received a message from a third party that my reservations for Solaz were cancelled - Solaz had closed its doors indefinitely. I immediately launched into full on research mode to see what I could find. The only article I found here: https://onemileatatime.com/news/marriott-solaz-los-cabos-closes/ I also found some posts from travelers who arrived for their sunny Cabo vacay only to be turned away at the door and left mercilessly to fend for themselves (owners) or led to long lines for the JW Marriott as a replacement for the hotel.
As an owner of a property at Solaz, I tried many of the numerous contacts and numbers I have to reach someone. I spoke with a lady who could only tell me the there were “infrastructure issues” and she would need to transfer me to someone else for more info. After hours on hold with a variety of numbers, I got nowhere. I reached out to some locals to find out more information. My sister researched the possibility of sand issues in the Cabo area and erosion. I looked at the ATP tournament being held there next week. Nothing.
Today I received emails from a local developer and an inspector. The developer said the word on the street is structural issues. The inspector was a tad more revealing:
“I haven’t heard anything about Solaz as you mentioned it is a big hush hush. Last year I was wondering why I didn’t get any requests for inspections in this new project & 1 Sales Rep told me that they weren’t allowing any outside Home Inspectors into the project, just in-house architects to generate the punch lists. I will definitely ask around to find out what is going on.”
This is from Marriott, from friends who had hotel reservations for October:
“The hotel has been closed due to unanticipated work that needs to be done throughout the entire 30+ acre complex and to enable that work to efficiently proceed. Our guests have been relocated to other luxury hotels in the Marriott portfolio located in Los Cabos.”
SOOOOOO….three of us are set to arrive in Cabo on Thursday to do our own investigating to try to get to the bottom of this. I have secured a website - SolazLosCabos.co - as a means to provide further info should us owners need to file a class action lawsuit. I will report back here as we find more info.
Should you have any information to share or that you’d like me to post, please let me know.
