Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We booked an accommodation and specifically stated that we wanted 2 interconnecting rooms and a kitchenette. We even contacted the front desk and they confirmed this. Upon arrival we were told that the hotel did not have any interconnecting rooms. The room given to us also did not a kitchenette. We had young kids so we could not leave them alone in seperate rooms.Therefore we had to leave solana hotel. The hotel refused to issue our regund for a 9 days stay considering the circumstances. Their customer desk lied to us and they refused to take responsibility for the error by thr front desk representative.

Wonderful buffet breakfast, live music in lobby when we arrived, wonderful rooftop pool and rooftop bar. Heated outdoor and indoor at ground level, lovely sauna and small gym. Did not try the Spa but heard it was excellent. Lots of excellent restaurants very close by. The walk down to the beach is an excellent workout especially the uphill hike back (or grab a frequent bus or the Bolt rideshare which are abundant and inexpensive). Loved this hotel, our room was great, balcony was big and staff were amazing. Highly recommend.

The staff were really welcoming especially at the front desk. The food was excellent and the amenities were spot on. However our morning coffee mugs in our room was not washed and every day on our return to the room we had to wash them ourselves. Also on two occasions we had to asked for toilet paper as the cleaner did not restock with a spare apart from the one that was already being used.

Room was spacious and comfortable except for the patio which directly looks into the adjacent rooms. Had a peak a view of the water. Level 4. Paid for “panoramic” view - not the case. The property was 5 min walk to the main church and across was a bus stop. Convenient. My room key failed 4 times. And staff was busy with check ins so I couldn’t get into my room for half an hour. Frustrating. Heated indoor pool and sauna was nice as it was too cold to enjoy the many rooftop outdoor pools. Views from rooftop was lovely.
