Case in point that everyone's experience varies. We switched rooms at
the Royal Solaris several years ago after enduring the deliberate torture
of the front desk staff for three days. We went from the Royal Tower to
the Caribe tower. The A/C was pathetic in both rooms. In the Royal
Tower, the A/C did work, but there was an inadequate amount of [cool] air
being pumped out. The ambient room temperature was ~ 80F with 75%
humidity.

As we had other issues with the room in the Royal Tower, one was the fact
the room was literally right on top of the A/C duct and it was noisy as
the Indy. Most people on our first floor were cussing with their
displeasure with their rooms in the Royal Tower. The other room in the
Caribe tower was quieter but the A/C would only sometimes blow cool air,
most of the time it was just air. ambient temperature was 85F.
Complaining to the staff was futile. At least it cooled a lot at night.
The beds in the Caribe were a bit harder than in the Royal Tower, but
fine. For these reasons and more, I won't recommend the Royal Solaris.
If I recall correctly, some time-share owners were also very unhappy
with the RS at that time and may have taken some kind of action against
the hotel.
