Buffet Breakfast Delight

“I really enjoyed the buffet meals that were offered. The selection, although simple, featured dishes like eggs, beans, rice, carrots, and potatoes, which became my go-to breakfast favorites. Each day the food was fresh, and I appreciated the variety, even if it echoed some of the previous meals.” view full review

Comfy Accommodations

“Our room had a beautiful view of the bay, and I found it comfortable and very clean. The tiny balcony was a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Although the room amenities could use improvement, I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a tranquil vacation.” view full review

I had a mixed experience at Villas Sol Beach Resort. On one hand, I loved the very nice views and the friendly staff members like Harley and Diego. However, the room itself was quite disappointing with many broken items and issues that needed attention. Overall, while there were positives, the negatives kept me from fully enjoying my stay.

Villas Sol Beach Resort had beautiful views and friendly staff, but my overall experience was disappointing. The all-inclusive aspect was misleading, as I found myself paying for basic necessities like bottled water. The buffet was poorly maintained, with flies buzzing around the food, which was quite unappetizing. Unfortunately, I had to cut my stay short due to these issues. 🌴😔

I had a lovely stay at Villas Sol Beach Resort, enjoying the lovely views and friendly staff. However, the check-in process was a bit rigid, and I found the facilities somewhat dated. The food was delicious overall, but the all-inclusive aspect could use some enhancement, especially regarding drink-service on the beach.

I stayed in a Premium Villa with Ocean View. While I loved the spaciousness and the amazing view from my porch, the furniture felt a bit outdated, and I faced low water pressure in the sink and shower.

Service

8.0

The staff was really good, always helpful and fluent in English, which made communication easy. However, the front desk was quite strict with check-in times, even when I explained my situation.

Location

The location of the resort is fantastic, perched on a hill with amazing ocean views. It’s close to the beach but a bit far from the nearest restaurants, which makes the shuttle service quite handy.

Dining

6.0

I was quite pleased with the breakfast options, but the all-inclusive dining experience left something to be desired, especially in terms of access to drinks while at the beach.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities include good amenities like a full kitchen in my villa, and the shuttle service around the hotel was very convenient. Still, I think some investment in the decor and room quality could elevate the experience.

I had a great time at Villas Sol Beach Resort, but there were definitely some bumps along the way. The stunning ocean views and friendly staff made my stay enjoyable, though my room had several maintenance issues that marred the experience. Overall, I appreciated the shuttle service and the free paddle boarding, but the dining area could use better airflow on hot nights.

I stayed in a Premium Family Villa with a Private Pool, and unfortunately, it had several broken items, including a chair with broken legs and dirty water in the patio pool. The lighting was also mostly flickering or dim, which was disappointing given the price I paid.

The wait staff, especially Harley and Diego, were really good and truly made my experience better. However, the office staff could have been more responsive to the maintenance issues I faced with my room.

The available facilities were generally good with regular shuttle service, and the free paddle boarding was a fun perk. However, some areas could benefit from additional upkeep.

Honestly, the food quality was disappointing, with unhygienic conditions at the buffet. I felt like I had to rely on purchasing groceries for decent meals.

The resort had nice pools and organized activities at the swim-up bar, but the shuttles were often in short supply. Plus, I noticed a lack of loungers on the beach.
