6. Only downside was that Jose in particular really didn't want to do any more than the bare minimum for us when asked to, which was a shame as it tainted our view of the hotel.

"Classy hotel great location but avoid rip off mini bar! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/5/2011 Vote

7. One downside to being in the room we received was that, as s room with a view of the pool, it was also a room with a view (and the sounds) of the bar/lounge at the pool, which could get a bit noisy on nights when there were lots of people partying.

"Great location, helpful staff " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/29/2011 Vote

"Funky rooms and fabulous roof terrace " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/27/2011 Vote

9. The only downside is that Solamar is pricier than what I am used to.

"Truly enjoyed my first stay at a Kimpton property " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/14/2011 Vote

10. The downside: You'll have to either order room service for coffee ($5 for a cup) or get your own in the lobby as there is NO in-room coffee pot -a shame for paying $300 a night.
