It claims to have a gymnasium and heated pool, but these belong to the hotel next door. Upon arrival the reception staff gave us a ticket and said if you want to use next doors facilities show them this ticket. My Husband and friend wanted to use the gym but was met by staff that were rude and they took no notice of the ticket given to us and told him to pay for the usage of the gym. The staff back at Dominio do Sol couldn't care less and remained complacent about everything. The kitchen area had no facility to plug in the toaster or kettle. We had to place them on the floor which is not child friendly. Our room was never cleaned during our whole stay, despite asking the reception staff twice! The pool bar is again really belonging to the hotel next door. You have access to a tiny corner of it. You can use the little pool side shop but you have to gain full access by walking through the actual pool side bar. Only use this hotel if you are used to roughing it!.

I wish I knew about this website when I booked because I would have avoided this hotel. It was closing at the end of October 2005 for refurbishment and I would say not before time. We were unlucky and had a lot of rain, this meant buckets and towels laid out in reception due to a leaky roof. The apartment we had was tired and dated, the bathroom had mould covering the ceiling and was not what we expected. The bedding felt damp and the wardrobe was damp. There were only a few people staying at the hotel - it resembled the Mary Celest most of the time. The bar and restaurant were understaffed - one lady worked day and night to man the pool bar, restaurant and indoor bar - she was fantastic.

All in all I think this hotel would have been great when it was built and I can only hope that it gets a complete make-over to bring it to an acceptable standard.

These have to be the worst apartments we have ever stayed in. Furniture falling apart. Tiles cracked and broken. Rust on baths, and mildew on shower curtains. Pool area just as bad, with tiles missing from bottom of pool, which had debris floating in it. Pool shower, rusted solid, with cobwebs hanging off it. Jacuzzi empty, (looked as if it hadn't been used in years). Large cracks on outside of building and steps. Wooden balcony rails rotted through. I'd advise anyone to give this place a wide berth.

Well past its sell by date good 10 minutes from town. Needs complete refurbishment.Peculiar fencing of pool from adjacent Hotel with shared bar? Air conditioning didnt work plastic chairs were broken(promptly replaced) and one of the showers was useless.On the plus side rooms were large and there vwere three balconies
