and at Spanish speeds, you'll be there before you can say siesta.
Check-in is very simple (you fill in a short form) and then you are given your key (which is a tiny key on a giant piece of wood making it impossible to lose - yeah!).
There are two buildings at the Sol Timor and if you've ever stayed at a Sol Hotel before, you'll know exactly what to expect. They're exactly the same as all the others - tiled floors, large open spaces and thousands of rooms! You aren't getting luxury, but it is more than adequate for somewhere where you want to spend most of your time on the beach catching rays.
-The Rooms-
There are lots of different types of rooms - from family rooms that accomodate up to six, down to studios that accomodate two. I've stayed in most of the different kinds, but to be honest the studios are more than comfortable enough ...

FUTON? How 1970s, or was it '80s? I can never remember. Anyway I thought they were well out of fashion, perhaps they are making a comeback.
