Good choice of pools, good choice buffet breakfast but fruit juice machine gave out weak watery juices. Nice size room but took three attempts to get the four towels we asked for. There were four of us (family room) and only got two sets if towels initially.

Great place to stay! Food options are halal, themed buffet nights and a restaurant on site. Very clean and the spa is lovely with lots of treatments to choose from. Had one of the best facials there! Rooms were a little small considering we booked studio rooms. Rooms came with a spacious bathroom and a built in kitchen. Would have like more in room services such as water bottles and an iron.

Solana stay

The Solana is a good hotel, in a great location.Staff were amazing, very helpful , they went the extra mile! On the downside, their AC only works at to a certain temperature depending on the time of year, not great as our room was warm. We also had to swap rooms after two days due to the noise from a large flume vent outside our bedroom window, the hotel were more than happy to accommodate with a new room.

Clean, modern and spacious rooms and great service

The hotel is very nice, spacious rooms and great condition. The service was also gr at and reception was very helpful with any queries. The indoor swimming pool is a great feature and the family enjoyed it fully. Little things such as having shampoo in the room could be improved and the construction works are not great if you wanna rest but apart from that all was great, would love to stay again
