Adults OnlyClub Solaris

GR Solaris Caribe is a 199-room adults-only all-inclusive in the Cancun Hotel Zone, the couples-and-friends side of the Club Solaris complex it shares with the family-focused Royal Solaris Cancun. It switched to adults only in late 2025 and now markets itself as a social adults-only resort: pool chill DJ sets, sunset lounge sessions and Sass & Chill pool parties by night, yoga, sound healing and singing bowl therapy by day. The beach is the main event, a classic stretch of hotel zone white sand and turquoise water, and guests also get access to Royal Solaris's spa, gym and production shows next door.

Traveler Insights

Pros

+Direct access to one of Cancun's best stretches of hotel zone beach, with soft white sand, clear turquoise water and lounge chairs with towel service
+Guests can use the neighboring Royal Solaris Cancun, including its full spa, gym and nightly production shows, which adds a lot of variety to a small resort
+Adults only since late 2025, so the pools and beach are calmer than they were in the family era, and the evening program leans toward couples and groups of friends
+An ocean-view infinity pool with a swim-up bar, plus oceanfront Jacuzzis open in the evening for a soak after dinner
+A beach Palapa Spa does ocean-view massages on site, and daytime wellness covers sunrise yoga, breathwork, sound healing and singing bowl sessions by the sea
+A private marina on the lagoon side runs guided kayak tours, and kayaks and paddleboards are included for calm-water paddling
+A hospitality room lets you freshen up and start the all-inclusive before your room is ready, which helps with early Cancun arrivals
+The Cancun Hotel Zone location puts you minutes from the Nichupte Lagoon, Plaza La Isla, the Isla Mujeres ferries and the nightlife strip

Cons

−Food quality is the most consistent complaint, with travelers describing buffet dishes that arrive lukewarm and a menu that feels basic next to similarly priced Cancun all-inclusives
−Alcohol quality draws repeated criticism: travelers say the house liquor is low end, beer options are limited and wine drinkers tend to be disappointed
−Chair saving is entrenched, and the resort's own guest reviews mention books and towels on poolside beds early in the morning that rarely free up
−Wi-Fi is included in common areas only, so in-room connection is weak and anyone working remotely ends up in the lobby
−The gym and full spa are at Royal Solaris next door rather than on site, so a workout means a walk across the complex
−Room service runs into the night but carries a small fee for each delivery
−It is a small resort, so dining, bar and pool variety on its own side is limited, and peak weeks (December to January and spring break) strain chairs and service

On its own side you get an ocean-view infinity pool with a swim-up bar, the Activities Pool (9am to 5pm), oceanfront Jacuzzis open from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, a beach Palapa Spa for massages, the Lobby Lounge for cocktails and a private marina with guided kayak tours. Rooms come in four types: Deluxe, Ocean View, Ocean Front and Lagoon View. Food is where expectations should stay modest: travelers describe a rotating themed buffet that can run lukewarm and a drinks list that sits at the lower end, and Wi-Fi is included in common areas only. Room service is available with a small per-delivery fee.

This is a fit for adults who want the Cancun hotel zone beach and a relaxed social pool scene without paying Nizuc or Hyatt Zilara prices, and who will happily trade a food-led stay for time on the sand. It is smaller and more intimate than Moon Palace or Riu Cancun, and the Royal Solaris access fills the gaps in facilities. Plaza La Isla, the lagoon and the Isla Mujeres ferries are all close. Cancun's municipality (Benito Juarez) charges a lodging tax of 82.11 pesos per room per night in 2026, usually collected at check-in.

Common Questions

What can I use at Royal Solaris Cancun next door?

Club Solaris says GR Solaris Caribe guests get full access to the spa, gym and nightly shows at the neighboring Royal Solaris Cancun. Royal Solaris is the family side of the complex, so expect kids around its pools; the adults-only atmosphere is on the GR Solaris Caribe side.

Are there water slides or a kids club?

Not at GR Solaris Caribe, which has been adults only since late 2025 and lists no kids club or water slides among its own facilities. Older reviews that mention a kids water park or mini golf describe the family era or Royal Solaris next door. Confirm at check-in exactly which Royal Solaris facilities your wristband covers.

Now that it's adults only, how has the vibe changed?

Travelers describe a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere since the switch, with less chaotic pools and entertainment aimed at couples and groups of friends. It is social rather than quiet: expect DJ sets by the pool, sunset lounge sessions and pool parties, alongside laid-back live music and themed performances in the evening. The activities and entertainment staff come up often in positive reviews.

How is the Wi-Fi?

The all-inclusive covers Wi-Fi in common areas, and guests on the resort's own review page say in-room connection is weak enough that they moved to the main areas. If you need to work, plan on the lobby or Lobby Lounge.

How does the drinks and food program compare to other all-inclusives?

Travelers put it at the lower end for Cancun. The buffet theme changes nightly and the pizzeria gets good mentions, but complaints about lukewarm dishes, limited liquor brands and average wine are common. If cocktails and food are a priority, look at Hyatt Zilara Cancun or Nizuc instead.
