Prior to arriving in Cabo, I heard from other reviewers of the Grand Solmar Playa Grande that there was a shortcut from the hotel to the large Divorce Beach and Lover's Beach. One problem is no one explained how to do so. I have pictures and video on how to get to Lover's Beach from the Grand Solmar Resort here.
Before embarking on the shortcut over the rocks, I asked a few hotel staff how to get over there. One explained there were guides that would take you over the rocks. I didn't see any guides any of the half dozen times I climbed the rocks to get to Divorce Beach.
My guess is the guides are off the clock hotel staff trying to make extra money because only registered guests have access to the resort and private beach which rules out locals from walking onto the facility. I don't see that a local would pay the fee at the marina plus the cost of the glass bottom boat ride hoping to make enough money to cover those expenses unless they had a kayak or boat and paddled to Lover's Beach and left it there.

The rock formation labeled with a red 1 is what you have to go over to get to Divorce Beach.
A quick frame of reference: I met two collegiate volleyball players on scholarship that explained they paid US$15.00 to a guide to send them over the rocks. Both young ladies were physically fit, but explained that the guide helped them over some challenging spots.

A few tips to enjoy the water experience at the Atlantis:
I strongly recommend wearing aqua socks, sandals, or some type of water sandals. I tore up my feet on some sand in the pool and water rides. This oversight and subsequent sore feet made it difficult for me to get around during my stay.
I would get sunglass lanyards to hold the glasses. The velocity of some of these rides could cause you to lose your sunglasses. This happened to me and the person right behind me on a ride and fortunately one of the employees found mine about 20 minutes later. They made me take my sunglasses off on slides as you will see in some of the videos.
