Solimar Dias Hotel

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Do not believe the reviews. Myself and my partner booked this as our summer getaway and to say we were disappointed was an understatement. The shower didn’t attach to the wall so we had to hold it whilst we showered, the shower curtain was too short so water went everywhere! The air conditioning was set facing the balcony and hardly worked! The bed was like the floor resulted in aching bodies every night. Very suspicious stains on walls and seat. The balcony was very old had laminate flooring over the top to hide the breaking wood. Furniture very old, chairs in bar rickety and broken - very unsafe! Someone sat and fell off the seat whilst we were there! When we arrived the toilet had a disinfected sticker on when we opened the water was brown with a odour - we found we would start to smell odours in the middle of the night even with doors closed - presumably from the room next doors bathroom. Drinks and food were 2 stars at best! Pool was dirty, flowers leaves and dirt left in the pool the whole week, plus very potent smell around the pool. Sun beds at the pool were broken with screws hanging out. Staff were kind but sparse we had to wait at reception a few times for help. Floors were scratched. Two nights of entertainment out of 7. The death elevator - very fast and jolts a lot and the door makes a lot of banging which you can hear in your room. Stated on live holidays it was a sandy beach but was quite the opposite- most shops sold sea shoes due to the stones and the coral reef you have to walk over to get into the sea. DO NOT COME!

The room is appropriate, the hotel is nice, the staff is friendly, the food is very delicious. The bus stops are in front of the hotel, this way public transport is easy. The water in the swimming pool is crystal clear and not very cold. I absolutely recommend the place. :-)
