"The worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Do NOT book this place! The bed and pillows were infested with bedbugs — I woke up covered in bites. There was visible mold on the walls and a musty, disgusting smell throughout the room. Everything felt dirty and neglected. This place is a health hazard, not a hotel. Stay far, far away!"

"Pros : oceanfront ,nice staff .New furniture in Level rooms.Level receptionist tries to help but facing many objective obstacles . Cons : old and noisy AC with mold in the rooms , No AC at reception and hallways . Old balcony doors. Parking system is a nightmare causing traffic jam at entry. Guests who wants to check in face get a negative first impression. No guest garage !! Room service menu is a joke a dining option are limited. Renovation of former Sol hotel was done poorly and the hotel needs new managment."

"Stayed at an apartment (old hotel Sol apartments) for a week. The room was spacious and very clean. We asked and paid for a sea view and that's what we got. It was so quiet and calm, not often you can lay on your bed or sit on your balcony listening just the waves and birds (including roosters in the banana farms :) ), no sounds of traffic. Well, if a person passes by the room, you will hear it... But the hotel was far from crowded, so no problems about the human voices either! The kitchen was enough for us, although rather minimally equipped. I missed especially a cutting board. Also dish washing is not a job of housekeeping, but they don't provide dish washing detergents, sponge, cloth or anything. That's about the only minus in the apartment: why do they push people to buy all this for some days of holiday, unless you were clever enough to bring your own in your luggage? There is a small Spar in Puerto Naos and with the very limited selection of the Spar and kitchen equipment, some imagination and creativity is needed to fix meals, but we managed just fine! The hotel area is very nice, two great pools and sun areas, everywhere superclean. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurants. Also in April most restaurants were closed (due to CO2 restrictions, but was it also an end of the season?). We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Beautiful Charco Verde beach is a short walk away, and the bus connection to Los Llanos runs often."
