We used Villas Sol as a result of a special for 5 days and 4 nights with the all-inclusive to trade off for a few dollars and a 90 minute(2 hour) Vacation Ownership presentation. Given our low investment into this deal, we can't be too unhappy. We stayed in the hotel portion of the resort and ate at the buffet... More

We went in May which is NOT high season, which was awesome. We got Villa #22 which at first I was bummed because there was no view, but once we settled in we realized why this was such a favorite villa. It was 1 story and had its own pool. We had our 4 and 6 year old with us... More

We traveled to Villas Sol on a Yuupon deal and were not sure of what to expect. Everything was very nice! Food was good, staff was friendly and the swim up bar was nice. We had a few excursions so we were not on the property every day, but it was nice for the money! More

After reading the reviews on this site... we were leary of making this trip. However, we got a good deal.. and decided how bad can an all inclusive on the beach be?? Turns out.... VERY GOOD!! We had a wonderful view from our third floor room, and the room was VERY clean, and the staff EXCEPTIONAL!! We thought the food... More

Villas Sol is great in theory but there are some major kinks that detract from it's potential. First, the good. We had a room on the fourth floor in the main hotel. We had gorgeous views of the lovely Pacific and the balcony was a nice size. The king size bed in the room was quite comfy and very clean.... More

The resort itself is nice, the rooms were fine, area and scenery were wonderful, the problem here lies in the food provided with the all inclusive rate , it was quite substandard low quality everywhere and bugs flying near the food, I know some will say that you need to meter expectations at an all inclusive however I have been...

Villas Sol is a time share/points development located nearby the Gulf of Papagayo touristic area. This development lacks of a strong in-site activity program. This means that, unless you have planned to visit nearby attractions, you will find yourself bored by the second day. If you travel with your family, I recommend a villa. By doing this, you will have... More

My boyfriend, his sister and I stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! This is the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We stayed in a two bedroom villa and the concierge treated us like royalty. We received the best customer service and we will definitely be staying here again. The views were perfect and we even...
