“Great family holiday!”

We have loved our stay at the Sol. It’s a budget complex that had everything our family of 5 (3 teenagers) needed.

We have loved our stay at the Sol. It’s a budget complex that had everything our family of 5 (3 teenagers) needed. In short, if you’re happy to use your apartment as more of a base (basic meals, chilling & sleeping) and you like to make your own entertainment / go out for evening meals etc, you can’t fault this place. The apartments are basic but spacious and with all the basics - 2 ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, pots, pans, plates etc. There’s a hairdryer and an iron & ironing board. Towels changed every other day and bedding once a week. I needed a change earlier than that and they were happy to oblige. We found the complex to be the perfect size for us. All rooms are a 1-2 min walk from the pool. You can sit in the bar area & see the kids in the pool. We never wanted for a lounger. People have come down early to reserve a lounger but if they’re not there and you need a lounger the receptionist will move their towels for you. (It might be better if they did this proactively but there’s plenty of space really). We stayed in rooms 327 (2 balconies!) & 337 (lovely private balcony). The 1st floor room didn’t require a fan but the 2nd floor room (337) did get quite hot. We rented one for €20 (plus €5 deposit) and that solved the problem. The pool bar does good food & drink (a pint of San Miguel is €3.50), the Weds BBQ (is bookable on a Tuesday) is great! Eva runs the bar most days and can’t help you enough. All the staff have been lovely… we had an issue in our room and the reception staff sorted it straight away. Lots of families so plenty of friends to make, everyone has been so friendly while we’ve been here. Theres a pool table for €2 and a commercial washing machine (€4 incl detergent), tumble dryer & steam iron in the laundrette (pay & get the key at reception). The beach and main areas for food & drink are a 10-15 min walk and there’s lots to explore. We found the beach to be pretty windy in August (great for windsurfing!) so it’s worth paying for the sun loungers with the windbreakers around. Great places to eat somewhere different every night if you want. Our particular recommendations are Spicy Affair (amazing curry!) Mi Piace (booking recommended) and Peskara. The ice cream shop Antiu xixona is fabulous & reasonably priced. Theres a Spar and some bars within 3-5 min walk, the Spar stocks pretty much everything!

“10 days in a lovely resort but not the right accommodation for me”

The apartments are cheap and cheerful. And you get what you pay for. The room was very dated and could do with an upgrade. It was however clean. We had 4 changes of towel in 10 days and 3 bed sheet changes. The room was also cleaned alternate days. Big balcony was nice, however the two sun loungers… more

The apartments are cheap and cheerful. And you get what you pay for. The room was very dated and could do with an upgrade. It was however clean. We had 4 changes of towel in 10 days and 3 bed sheet changes. The room was also cleaned alternate days. Big balcony was nice, however the two sun loungers needed a really good clean. The mattresses seemed very bold and when removed the plastic beds clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Outside to the pool area. The sun beds were really tightly packed together in places so you couldn’t get you legs in between. Not an issue we could move those. The green matting on the floor was stained in places and could do with renewing. The pool itself we only used once. It was very windy and debris from the trees blew into the pool. That couldn’t be helped but it sank to the bottom and was just left. We never saw anyone clean the pool at any time while we were there. The water felt greasy like it was just full of suncream residue. I don’t know if there was an issue with the filter but I have never come across that in a pool before. The staff we did interact with were pleasant. The pool bar we only used a couple of times. They only had san Miguel beer. Which I don’t like at all. That’s my choice and plenty people used it. The cooker has there was very nice. I don’t think I would go back, mainly because I do like to chill by the pool and cool off in the water. Which I chose not to do as it didn’t seem clean.
