Terrible shower, broken beds, old fashion fridge - you have to
turn of night time because of noise,
staff dosn't speak english and is not able help at all

I reserved this hotel through ---.com, and I can't believe they actually do business with this hotel. The staff acted as though they resented Americans being there, especially the Manager. The place was over 50 years old and had not been properly maintained or remodeled, it was very old and run down. It had 7 floors maintained by 2 old elevators, one of the elevators would not go to the first floor at all, so I had to go to the 2nd floor and go down a floor to get to my room everytime, I was really worried about getting stuck in these elevators. There were small roaches in the room, they would run accross the floor when you turned the light on in the morning. Oh yes, when I first checked in, they put me in a room that had no hot water in the shower, I found this out after I got in the shower and had already got set up in the room, so I complained and had to move to another room, that took another hour of my vacation time. The house cleaning staff was nice but very slow to clean your room daily, usually it was 4 PM, until they got around to cleaning my room, I don't think it was their fault, they were just overloaded with work. The mattress on the bed was badly stained and pretty hard, the pillows were very old, the floors were dirty. There was no ice machines as you would normally expect in a hotel. Everyday at 8 AM there was hammering going on to greet you, so if you wanted to sleep in past 8 you can forget it at Club DEl Sol. I also was told that I could not bring guests to my room by the Manager of the hotel, I think it was because I was an American and these ladies were Mexican. I have stayed in many hotels in my life time and have never been told I could not have a guest in my room.

Myself and 2 of my girlfriends stayed at the Club Del Sol for 2 weeks in Feb/March, 2006. From what I was reading about this hotel, we were honestly expecting the worst, but it was in our price range. I can say, without a doubt, that all the write ups I read were greatly exagerated. We had a wonderful time. The room was fantastic and the location of the hotel was perfect for 3 females in their mid 20's. The staff was super friendly and helpful, granted not alot of the front desk staff spoke much english, but it wasn't a big issue. It was actully pretty funny!
The adult only roof top pools are beautiful and the view is spectacular.
Everything about the hotel was great. I cannot say anything bad about it. Sure, it is over 30 years old, but it is amazing!!

I last stayed at Club del Sol for 2 weeks in mid-December 2005, but have stayed at this hotel 2-4 times a year since 1993.
Yes, currently the hotel is being upgraded --the 4th. and 5th. floors of the main building have had complete renos of the bathrooms, kitchens and A/C systems, and the " Coral" 2 bedroom/2 bathroom suites will be completed by early February/06. The sports bar, 'Referees" was under complete renovation and was scheduled to re-open by the end of January/06 in time for the Superbowl. This is an economy hotel, 2-2 1/2 stars, and has really great room rates for the economy-minded traveller. I've always found the rooms to be clean and the staff very friendly, but yes, there can be problems ... I've had refrigerators and TV's that haven't worked correctly ...but the problems were quickly fixed/replaced.

Other reviews which are critical of changing of bed linens " daily " , or bath towels which must be " left on the floor" to be changed. Do these people change their beds daily at home? Yes, if a bed is obviously soiled, it will be changed! And there are signs in 3 languages explaining the " towel policy".
In order to save on water/detergent/electricity, guests are requested to choose whether they desire to change their towels daily.

There are 5 bars at the Club, but during the off season 2 or 3 of the bars can be closed. ( only 3 were open when I was there a month ago.)

My only negative comment is relevant only for Canadian all-inclusive "package tours". The difference in price between this 2 star hotel and a 4 star hotel can at times be less than $100 for one week, and that additional cost may be well worth it to be in a newer hotel on the beach, with better food.
