We stayed at the Villas and boy was the view beautiful. I'll be honest the villas itself are outdated but wasn't a bummer for us. It was great for my lil family. We asked for a floor mattress for my son to sleep in because the bed in the \"master\" room is only a full size, and they brought it with no hesitations. Full kitchen and 2 different balconies. Super friendly and very helpful staff.

We stayed in a very simple villa room with a double bed and pullout couch. The resort is very helpful in getting you picked up from way up on the hill with their truck pick ups that run every 15 minutes. The resort also provides transportation directly to the beach. The beach was very nice and secluded, with several restaurants to choose from. Only drawback. Might be that the pick ups don’t run exactly on time, and we chose to walk up and down the resort a few times.

We arrived at 2:00PM and were told the room was not ready. We had to wait 4 hours, until 6:00PM until we were given a room key. Upon arriving in the room, which was dated, and showed obvious wear and tear, we attempted to take showers. The room had no hot water. Towel hanger was broken off the wall, overall old and worn. We asked to be moved to a different room, and the next day we did. The second room had a major electrical issue. No electricity the entire night. No Air Conditioning. Absolutely unacceptable, could not even open a window due to bugs and heat. The following day, we called to have the electricity fixed. Then the Air conditioner was still broken. A technician was sent to the room, and came up without a single tool. He did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue and seemed confused. We were stranded in a room with no working A/C for the next 3 nights.

Un lugar en franca desmejoría.... Primero la reservación con hoteles.com nunca indicó si incluía la pensión alimenticia Y antes siempre la incluía por default... Así que nomás de entrada la primer falla.. en segundo lugar la piscina principal cerrada en mantenimiento Y nunca informaron y dijeron nada ni hicieron ninguna variación en el precio.. tercero permiten entrar un montón de gente con pase del día que lo que hace es saturar la pequeña piscina en uso el estacionamiento los servicios la comida etc... La atención en el restaurante muy deficiente en ciertos turnos... Con excepción de Tamara que es sumamente servicial.. en conclusión después de muchos años de visitar este lugar la experiencia esta vez ha sido pésima

DO NOT STAY HERE
Our stay was booked from June 3rd to June 10th, and the problems started almost immediately. What should have been a relaxing anniversary trip turned into a week of complaints, room changes, and unresolved maintenance issues.
On June 3rd, we checked into our room and never even had the chance to fully unpack. Within hours, we found cockroaches, bugs, and spiders throughout the room. The lights were not functioning properly, and the refrigerator did not work. This was our first day at the resort. What followed was a week of ongoing issues. We were moved THREE separate times, yet every room seemed to have its own set of problems, including pests, cold showers, damaged windows, broken fixtures, lighting issues, and cleanliness concerns.One of the most concerning issues involved the doors and windows. Villas Sol posts notices throughout the resort warning guests not to leave doors or windows open, as raccoons and other wildlife are present on the property. We personally saw raccoons during our stay. Knowing that, how are guests being placed in rooms with broken windows that do not close or lock properly? Two of the three rooms we were moved to had windows that could not be properly secured. In another room, the front door did not seal to the ground, leaving a visible gap beneath it. Lizards, spiders, and insects entered our room through that opening. Maintenance was sent to “fix” it, but nothing meaningful was repaired. We ended up placing towels against the door

We had an amazing stay at Villa Sol Beach Resort! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed throughout our trip.

One of the best parts of the resort was the variety of amenities included with the stay. There were multiple pools, daily activities, convenient shuttles that transported guests throughout the property, and easy beach access with chairs available for guests. We also loved that kayaks were included at no extra cost, which made enjoying the beautiful coastline even better.

The resort offered plenty to do without feeling crowded, and there were also many great restaurants nearby if you wanted to explore the local area. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, and we made some wonderful memories during our stay. We would definitely return and highly recommend Villa Sol Beach Resort to anyone visiting the area.

Waited a while before actually leaving a review because i wanted to be as honest as possible without being biased. First and foremost the property is huge and well maintained. The property was boring, i don’t know if it was because of the season but it was absolutely boring nothing to do at all. By the 2nd night i was over it. The views are beautiful and my kids enjoyed the pool. Love going to the beach. The food was absolutely horrible. Minimal variety at the buffet and i was literally starving every day. I stayed 5nights and payed for the all inclusive package for 2days and i am glad i didn’t pay the whole time because i was left starving after each meal. Most of the times i had to leave property to get a meal because it was a no no at the buffet. I will not say not to purchase The all inclusive package because that would be biased but try it out for a day before going the whole stay if you know what i mean. Wasn’t worth it for me personally. All in all i would rate my experience at a 5/10 and the 5 was for the staff and how great they are. Subtract for food, boredom, etc. all in all i could have stayed 2 nights instead of 5 got the whole experience after 1 day ehhh

The resort was over all nice only issue we had was the day we needed to leave to the airport to depart the transportation to bring us down took an hour to come get us and almost made us late for our flight. The resort is up a hill and no walking is permitted for safety. So you are forced to wait. We called the office several times to get picked up and the phone would just ring and then they would answer and tell us to wait outside so we waited outside of our room for one hour before being picked up. Also, the room stated with the stay you only get two complementary bottles of water and one coffee you have to pay for the rest but other than that, it was a pretty decent day and the resort itself was very nice and close to the beach just keep in mind that you have to wait to go around the resort.

The staff came across as a bit unfriendly, and at times it felt like guests were being treated with suspicion over things like towels or wristbands. We arrived after dark, and the front desk wasn’t very helpful in guiding us to our room—they simply handed us a map and sent us out on our own. Given how large the resort is, this made for a frustrating start. Overall, this was not my favorite part of the trip.

Loved this property. And the price point you can’t beat. This is my second time coming the first was only 7 months ago! The views are amazing, staff so welcoming and kind and there is so much to do, or not do if you are looking for peace. The shuttle will take you right to the beach front where there are markets, food, and restaurants. You can stay past the most beautiful sunset and still feel so safe. There is a market in the main lobby with probably everything you would need or forget, and the best restaurant right Across the street. Coco beach and strip with is also amazing is only a 15 minutes drive, or uber, I felt very safe on overs and private transportation. And excursions will pick you up from this resort. Love love love.

The view was incredible from the whole hotel and all the staff very friendly. The wet bar was a great place to hang out. We hadn't booked the food and drink package ahead of time but realized when we got there that it would be good value so we were able to add it on. The food was fine (better than most all inclusives I've been to) and drinks were a good selection. The restaurant and bar area were really beautiful with a view across the bay. The hotel shuttle down to reception/gift shop and to the beach was super convenient. Apparently there are lots of great restaurants in walking distance too.

We saw howler monkeys right at the entrance to Playa Hermosa and it's a beautiful beach to walk along and swim at.

The only feedback we have is that the bed in our room was very hard and the daily activities can be a bit loud with the staff doing bingo on the microphone for an hour one of the days! It's a small area so they could do it without a mic.

Super close to Liberia airport and we got an Uber for about $45 CAD to the hotel. Also loads of car hire places around too.
