    1. In compliance with this new requirement, Solmar Hotels & Resorts and the Los Cabos Tourism Board are working alongside the public and private sector to ensure all international travelers visiting Los Cabos are able to access and take the viral test ahead of their return to the USA. At this moment we are making agreements with laboratories to provide accessible pricing for tests to our guests. By this afternoon or tomorrow, we will let you know the confirmed pricing that we will have for the viral test.The tourism board is also working with the Los Cabos International Airport and several airlines to streamline this process and provide a pleasant travel experience to all tourists visiting the destination during this time. Shortly we will communicate to all members and guest all details and options to facilitate this requirement
