Villa Solanas

The pool was large and nice, breakfast was tasty with excellent coffee, and the property had a pleasant atmosphere. We stayed in connected rooms 21 and 22. The hotel was clean throughout, and the staff were friendly and helpful, but quite a few things got in the way of enjoying the stay. Wi-Fi only worked near reception, not even by the pool, and the elevator was out of order. The air conditioning barely cooled our rooms. Room 22 had no mosquito net despite the listing on Booking.com, and we had mosquitoes at night. We also had to keep its window shut because an AC inverter from another room just outside was noisy. In Room 21, the safe was broken with wires hanging loose, and using the bathroom in the room above brought a strong sewage smell into our bathroom. The terrace was shared with the neighbors, so it wasn’t private. There were only two chairs and no table, making it hard to sit comfortably outside in the evening. There was no electric kettle in the room either. For kids, it would have been nice to have toys or pool floats. The poolside music was louder than we liked, and we would have preferred a quieter atmosphere. This place has potential and some very good points, but with the price and all the problems we ran into, the stay felt mixed. I think some investment and a few small changes could make it incredible.

The hotel is close to the beach and provides umbrellas to take there. The rooms were clean, though ours had a bad smell coming from the AC, and towels unfortunately weren’t changed every day. Liza deserves a special thank you for her amazing service. She was polite, shared lots of information about things to do nearby, and recommended good places to visit. Her outstanding help is what brought us back to the hotel.

The place feels like a faded old motel, not a beach town hotel, and badly needs renovation. There was no Wi-Fi in the rooms, which felt hard to believe in 2024, and reception closed at 8 pm, leaving the place abandoned afterward. The pool was bare and not somewhere I wanted to spend time. The rooms looked worn, the corridor smelled terrible, and the bright fluorescent lamps were unpleasant. Shower pressure kept changing. Getting to the rooms meant climbing endless stairs past empty function rooms and strange art. The air conditioning was too weak to cool the room properly. Balconies were rusty and moldy from AC water, and partly shared with a neighbor. The sheets were rough and faded.

We were five minutes on foot from a nice beach, and free sun umbrellas were available at reception. The pool was very good, open from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and breakfast was good. There was no dinner at the hotel in August 2022. The connecting rooms worked really well for our family, giving us time together while still having separate rooms. Thanks to Sofia, Eleonora, and Alain for their support during our stay. The staff were friendly, and it’s a nice hotel.
