We stayed at the Sol Timor from 6 Feb till 10 Feb. We booked it basically because it was cheap and near the beach. There were 2 of us going out to celebrate a birthday and decided on here as it is a bit further south and therefore should be a bit warmer. Both having never been before we didn't really know what to expect. The hotel itself has a lovely reception area. We had to wait quite a while to check in as there was a large party in front of us. Guy at reception was efficient enough but not exactly friendly or chatty. We were in Block 3 and on the 10th floor (studio room). It was clean & basic with a lovely view of the beach. If your going for 4 days or less i'm not that bothered about palatial rooms. It suited us fine. There wasn't much open by our hotel for us at night time. I can recommed Father O'Malley's across the road for brilliant food. The marina is nice to sit during the day in the afternoon and watch the world go by (as long as you won't complain about paying an extra euro on your drinks). At night we got a taxi to the 24 hour square (5 euros) and mostly spent our time in Times Square bar. Only a few bars were open but I suspect in the summer it would be really busy. Would I stay in the Sol Timor again - yes but if I was going back for a short break I would stay nearer the 24 hour square. Sol Timor is not a bad hotel for the price at all.

Just got back from a long weekend stopping at the Sol Timor apartments and were very disappointed by the standard of the accommodation.

Walking into what appears to be a newly refurbished reception area the hotel on face value looked lovely. We arrived in the room which was small and basic but expected that for the price we paid.
The room was musty smelling and dust everywhere like it hadn't been used for months. The toilet was dirty and the towels were stained and generally didn't feel very clean. We were only given two hand towels and after complaining at reception their response was "new towels every two days" after telling them the towels were dirty from the beginning they changed them.

The area surrounding the pool was ok- although the pool itself was filthy- not that you would go in it this time of year anyway.

Location is excellent close to marina, bars and restaurants-one to recommend is the carvery close to the hotel.

Weather was fabulous reaching 24 degrees making a lovely weekend.

As far as the hotel goes it appears to operate on skeleton staff this time of year and struggle to keep on top of things- I'm sure it's a totally different picture in the height of summer when they are much busier- I wouldn't however stay here again to find out!

The Sol Timor Apartments provided adequate accommodation for a short break. Kitchen not very well equipped although we only ever make a cup of tea and pour a glass of wine but if you wanted to truly self cater you'd struggle. No hair dryer in the room but you could rent one if required. Another downside was that the beds were hard with hard pillows. Having said all that, the apartment was spacious enough and had plenty of wardrobe space and it was clean. For us it was more about the location and that was great. We had a beautiful sea view which was lovely for sitting with a cuppa and watching the sun rise.

Stayed in Sol Timor in May/June 2012. Very basic accomodation but great location for beach and restaurants, Charge of €2.50 for sun loungers round pool. Went self catering so cannot comment on hotel food, Great restaurant called The Carvery (out front of hotel and go left about 200yards),marvellous food and very accomodating. Marina is out back of hotel along boardwalk and is beautiful. I would also recommend the old quarter of Carhuela which is along the boardwalk(turn left out back of hotel and walk approximately 1 mile, fantastic restaurants and shops in great setting. I would go again but stay in a different hotel in same region.
