GR Solaris Lighthouse is a reasonable budget all-inclusive option for staying in San Jose Del Cabo, however, several things could have been improved. For starters, the lighthouse part of the hotel (arguably the coolest aspect of the hotel and one of the reasons we chose this place) was closed for renovations and this was not advertised prior to booking. To go along with this, the hotel hid this fact by stating 'the elevator is broken so the lighthouse is closed until it is fixed'. We stayed for a week and the elevator never got fixed so they openly lied there. Our room was a deluxe room with ocean view which was very clean and had a great bath tub... until we tried it on our third day to which the hot water tap was brown. Upon calling about this, they suggested to run the tap until it was clear but it never became clear and had a yellow-ish tint, highly disappointing considering we upgraded deliberately to use the tub. The main buffet restaurant was also not great regarding the food but probably as expected as budget all-inclusives go. The Mexican and Italian restaurants were better but the required dress code enforcement was inconsistent (I was refused entry wearing open-toe sandals only to come back with 'correct' footwear to see that the hostess had let in numerous groups with flip flops on, extremely infuriating!) Overall, not a terrible stay but certainly not a 4-star experience in which it is advertised for. We won't be staying again.
