Hotel Sol E Mar - Adults Only

“A place to feel spoiled!”

Such a lovely 10 day stay. The staff are friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotlessly clean, linens changed every day. The view from our room was stunning (304).

Such a lovely 10 day stay. The staff are friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotlessly clean, linens changed every day. The view from our room was stunning (304). The breakfast was buffet and the choice astounding. We also ate a few times in the ground floor restaurant and of course used the ice cream parlour! We spent a few evenings in the bar, with Noonoo at the piano ( except for Sundays when we were entertained by "Presumed Innocent") fantastic place to watch the sun go down and served in luxury. We loved it. Thank you all. PS. To contradict an earlier reviewer. There IS a swimming pool, but we didn't use it as the beach is on the doorstep!

Hotel is perfectly situated right on the beach front, it is less than 5 minutes walk from the centre square in the old town, so just outside the noise level of the strip. The room was a great size with a beautiful balcony facing the sea. It was very clean and comfortable. The room has a small fridge which was very handy and also an nespresso coffee machine. Rooms are cleaned everyday and the cleaning staff were exceptional nice. The reception area and bar are nice, a bit old fashioned but clean and comfortable, there is music most nights, it does finish early enough but if you want a more lively scene you dont have to go too far. We were distrubed on three of the nights at 4am by people returning back to their rooms, making quite alot of noise talking and playing music which was a pity. Our big negative about this holet was the food. We went half board so breakfast and dinner were included. I would not go half board again. The breakfast was nice, they had everything you need for breakfast either continental or cooked. Fresh omelettes could be ordered from your table. However Dinner was very very poor. The quality of the food was bad, it was not nice. I know that you are cathering for alot of people, but that is not an excuse to serve chewy, unedable food. There is a restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel on the beach front run by the hotel (this in not where you get your dinner on the half board package) and the food here was execellent. There are absolutely loads and loads of nice restaruants in the area, so there is a choice. The hotel did provide a food bag, sandwich, apple, water and juice, in our room on arrival the first night as we did not arrive at hotel until 10.30pm, which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this hotel but on a bed and breakfast basis only.

“Great September holiday in the sun”

The hotel was in a great location. We loved having access to the beach and the sea so easily. Staff were very friendly. The only negative was the breakfast which wasn’t very good, maybe they could invest some money in a new and better coffee machine as the coffee wasn’t very nice
