Villas Sol Beach Resort

Villas Sol Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"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."
