Al llegar al hotel se ve peligroso por la noche porque no hay iluminación. hicimos el check in nos dieron dos cuartos que estaban ocupados por otros huéspedes. El tercer cuartos que nos dieron estaba sucio y al segundo día de la estadía llegamos al cuarto y estaba inundado por filtraciones en el área del baño así que nos mudan a una cuarta habitación y para colmo esa misma noche se fue el agua y no llegó hasta la 1 am del otro día. Es una pena porque el hotel está ubicado en un área bonita pero lamentablemente el hotel es muy viejo, no lo mantienen y el servicio de los empleados fue terrible.

This is a run down cheap motel not a hotel. Pool area was dirty. The beach is not within walking distance as advertised. Also there’s no fridge or microwave in the rooms. No ice vending machine. This is by far the worst place I’ve been & did not feel save at all.

It seems that you are entering an abandoned hotel, we had a bad night, the air conditioning stopped cooling and with a constant noise you could only see a local channel, not cable TV, it needs urgent renovation and more cleaning.

The hotel is in VERY BAD condition, neglected, there are many dogs loose in the areas, the pool is hot, and there was no water after 6 pm, the restaurant closed at 6 because of the water, there are no options for dinner, beds very hard, not at all comfortable, there is NO wifi, there are a lot of mosquitoes, I really don't recommend it, there are better options for the price.

Solace cancelled my stay the day before, and transferred us to another hotel, it was very upsetting for me and my family, my sister came from New Jersey, I had paid for a 3 bed, bedroom and was transferred to a 2 bedroom, so we were uncomfortable with everything… I will never try to stay at Solace again!
