My stay at Solimar Aquamarine was a mixed experience. While I appreciated the modern suites and the beautiful decoration of the hotel, I was disappointed with the level of service and the dining options available. The staff was generally pleasant, but there were some organizational issues, especially regarding room availability and dining experiences. The meals frequently lacked variety and didn't meet the five-star expectations. Overall, it’s a pleasant place but not quite what I expected.

Our stay at the hotel was unfortunately filled with issues. While we encountered a few staff members who were pleasant, the overall experience was marred by poor service and inadequate food offerings. Moving rooms with children in tow was extremely inconvenient, and the limited drink options left much to be desired. However, a positive note was the friendly guy at the mini market who brightened our days. I'd suggest considering other options before booking here.
