SolMates was terrific. The set up works perfectly for two couples, with two bedrooms and bathrooms. We enjoyed cocktails by the pool every night and marveled at the beauty of the night sky.

We Love Our Guests!
We love hearing from our guests to SolMates — it helps us to know what they like, what we could do better to make them comfortable, and they always share great tips for restaurants, shopping, or other fun activities. They also help us live a little vicariously — if we can’t be there, we’re glad […]
