We actually booked Unit 123 (a remodeled 1-bedroom oceanfront unit) in Dec. 2007 through Rockstar Rentals – a full nine months in advance. The day before we left for Cabo, Timmy at Rockstar called us to tell us the unit was double-booked and that he moved us to Unit 121, a three-bedroom oceanfront unit that was two doors down from Unit 123. Upon arrival, we discovered that, although Unit 121 had a beautifully remodeled kitchen, everything else was original and in pretty sad shape, including the furniture. Also, the A/C never got below 80 degrees. The unit also smelled like a sewer – the smell was coming from the vents in the shower floors. We went to the front desk and had them call Timmy who promised to move us the following day.

Day 2, we were moved to Unit 118, which is a 2-bedroom unit. Although it is not oceanfront, it still had a great view past the main pool and to the ocean. The balcony is very small, but the tile was nicely redone and the furniture very nice and also comfortable. There is also a BBQ grill there for guest use. The week we were there, it was so hot/humid that we didn't spend any time on the balcony at all.

Unit 118 has been completely remodeled and is exceptionally beautiful. All of the furniture is very nice and comfortable, with the exception of the two couches in the living room. They are quite odd – they are so low to the floor that when you sit on them, your behind is practically on the floor.

The owner of this Unit keeps it well supplied. We didn’t have to purchase anything at all (other than our own food). Last year, we stayed in Unit 212, and we had to buy everything... even toilet paper! So, this was a very nice change. The kitchen had a full set of the normal condiments already provided. Also, all of the appliances were very upscale, including the blender, coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, etc. There is a full wet bar in the kitchen area in case you like making your own drinks. There just wasn't a single thing that wasn't provided and/or well stocked in this Unit. Clearly, the owner of this unit is very thoughtful and considerate of its renters.

Tons of storage available in this unit, too, which was really nice. There was a big flat screen TV with full satellite access in the living room and bedroom. There was also a computer in the second bedroom, but we couldn’t get it to work. There were two storms coming in, and so I think they may have interfered with the wireless network. No worries, because at the bottom of the hill from Terrasol, there is a little coffee shop that has two computers you can use for free if you buy something from them (and their fruit smoothies were awesome!).

The master bedroom has a very comfortable king-size bed. The second bedroom had two twin beds and plenty of closet space. Both bathrooms were very posh and very tastefully updated, and had these cool vessel sinks. We definitely felt quite spoiled in this unit.

We ate down at the little palapa restaurant/bar next to the main pool on several days. We brought the tuna we caught to the restaurant and had it grilled up for tacos. For two of us, it cost a total of only $10.00 and it was really delicious.

We’ve stayed at Terrasol before (in unit 212) and I have to say that the staff there is the absolute best. Always extremely friendly, and they always go way out of their way to help you with anything that you need.

My recommendation: Try to rent directly from an owner instead of going through a broker. No one needs to be bumped to another unit the day before they arrive, especially when they rent the unit nine months in advance. Also, make sure you see photos of the unit you’re renting – not all Terrasol units have been updated. Some are in pretty bad shape. Avoid these issues and you’ll absolutely love Terrasol. It’s a nice, quiet resort on a vendorless beach. The management and staff are the best. And Terrasol is walking distance to town. Since it’s sandwiched in between two resorts, you have resort amenities available to you next door. We will definitely stay at Terrasol again.

We stopped at Costco on our way to the condo to stock up on drinks and some food for the week. We scheduled a shuttle through Transcabo and they charged a little more to stop for groceries but it was worth it.
We arrived at Terrasol and unpacked all our stuff at the front office then had to haul it all down to the condo, there are only paths with steps down to the units. When checking in we only got one key which was a pain since there was 5 of us. We asked for more but the owner only left one with the front desk. We ended up hiding the key outside by the front door all week so we all could access it and come and go as we pleased. The complex is very safe so we didn’t see any issues with doing this.
We stayed in Terrasol unit 212 from November 2-9, 2007. This unit is very nice with 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, full kitchen, nice balcony on the second story overlooking the pool and beach. The condo is nicely decorated and the kitchen is remodeled, with full size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, gas stove and washer/dryer unit. The kitchen and living room are in the main room. There is a dining table for 4 people, hide-a-bed and satellite television. There is a large sliding door out to the patio which wraps around to the master bedroom. The master bedroom has a king size bed, television, dresser and closets for plenty of storage. There is a bathroom connected to the master bedroom this bathroom has dual vanity and a tiled shower/tub. Both the shower and the toilet worked great. I stayed in the master bedroom so I never used the guest shower or toilet but I remember the shower leaking and the floor always being wet. Fortunately from reading other reviews I knew that we need to provide our own toilet paper, not a problem, we all pack a few rolls from home and had plenty all week.
Terrasol is on Sol Mar Beach on the Pacific side. The complex has Sol Mar Resort to the North and Playa Grande to the South. It is a beautiful area within walking distance to town. There are two pool at the complex, one with a restaurant and swim up bar. Both pools are very quiet with only the condo guest using them. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast our last two days because we ran out of food. It was all very good and convenient and moderately priced.
We walked to town every day or evening for entertainment and dinner. This was my 5th trip to Cabo and one of favorite. It was nice to be so close to everything and not have to take any taxis! We even climbed the rocks over to Lovers Beach one day. I would recommend this condo complex and I will defiantly be back to Terrasol.
Please let me know if you have any questions. jeepgurlz@aol.com.

Just a quick review.
Loved the Terrasol complex. Very quiet resort. It has 2 swimming pools, one that has a restaurant and bar. The restaurant and bar are only open from 9-6.

The view from our patio was incredible. Beautiful ocean view from the first bedroom as well.

The condo itself had a number of problems. When we arrived 2 out of 3 A/C didn't work. When I contacted the person who owns the condo,she told me that 2 should work and the 3rd will be fixed next month. Well only 1 worked and it would have been nice to know before I arrived that one of the AC was non functional. 1 out of the 2 toilets was also broken. When we asked the property manager to help us with the AC's we were told that the owner was told a number of times that the AC can not be fixed and should be replaced.
The patio door didn't lock properly. Neither did the window in the second bedroom. Which means that anytime you went out someone could have just walked into our condo.
The last thing is that I have been waiting for 2 months to get my damage deposit back and I'm not even getting responses from the owner.
I will definately be going back to the Terrasol resort just never to condo 162

I included a view from our Patio. 95% of all condos would have a view close to this one.

I have read your review and will specifically address each item. I was there in Aug 2008 to do a maintenance check of all items that I rountinely check on every 6 months. Two air conditioners were replaced - master bedroom plus living room. The toilets were not broken in August 2008. The jacuzzi was working great! The laundry was working great. I used it everyday in August.

All security deposits are returned promptly as long as there is no damage.

The unit was completely remodeled in Nov 2005.

Condo #150 was just okay. From beginning to end it was hard to communicate with the person we rented from. The condo was not the cleanest or friendliest place to stay. To finish the experience off.....when we got home, our credit card co called us with suspicious activity. The only place we used our cc was at Terrasol. After we left somebody at the front desk charged over 300.00 worth of airline tickets and itunes on our cc(nice). Needless to say we will never go back to Mexico.

We just returned from a week trip to Cabo staying at Terrasol. It is a great scenic place for peace and quiet with the Marina and downtown hustle and bustle just steps away. Our two sons(26 and 31) came and also enjoyed the location.
We rented through VRBO.com. We rented a 2 bedroom 2B condo which had a pool and ocean view. The condo was updated and large. Plenty of room both inside and out on the lanai. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and had lots of supplies, i.e.pots, pans, foil, wrap. baggies , mustard, ketchup, spices, etc., so you didn't have to buy everything! It even had a washer/dryer. It could have been more comfortable with better couches and more lighting. I like to read a lot and couldn't at night.
Terrasol itself is a big complex. We found that the main area was built in'66 and now many owners are renovating...but not all so be careful if you go there. Some common areas need minor repairs. The pool by the Palapa Bar could use repairs as tiles are getting loose . The pool area needs more chaise lounges and tables both small and large.
The Palapa Bar serves drinks, breakfast and lunch. The tacos and fajitas are fantastic! You can't beat the price. DO NOT get the hamburger ...it is just a frozen patty.
All in all it is a nice quiet resort and we would return. The flowers and cacti are beautiful.
The 3 boys fished for 3 days and relaxed the rest. The fishing was fantastic! Our family has fished all over and this was THE place to fish. They fished on a 38 foot for 2 days and a panga for one day. They enjoyed each trip and caught tons of fish. We are a "catch and release" family so we were disappointed when our charters with ABY were more interested in just catching. We caught 4 billfish in the 2 days and made them release 3. We took some mahi and yellowfin and gave them the rest. We saw too many billfish brought to the dock.
Adios!
