Situated right slap bang in the middle of old town. Located on the beach with fantastic views. The hotel retro to the extreme. Don't expect a corporate hotel think more traditional 70's with a bar that would be well placed in an Austin Powers film - superb More

My hubby & i in our late 40's had a really lovely stay at the Sol e mar. Perfect location. Fantastic views with nice big balcony. Weather lovely while the sun shone every day from 9 till 4. Would highly recommend. More

Initially very impressed with the location but there was a disgusting smell in the bathrooms of ours and our neighbours and the offer to change rooms was not forthcoming until towards the end of our holiday when the food, although adequate, also became boring and unappealing. More

I was last in this hotel 14 years ago. I thought its location was superb, and always meant to return. Its location is still superb. Every room has a balcony facing the sea, because it is built into the cliff. It is on the edge of the beach. The reception area, bar, and restaurant are on the fifth floor, with... More

We stayed here for 7 nights, 2nd/9th January at a cost of £137 each H/B. Each room has a sea view and fridge and we had the best weather ever for this time of year. The sunrise/sets were beautiful. Must be so hot in the summer. This hotel has NO car parking but we did not find it a problem... More

Just spent our second Christmas at the Sol E Mar. Just as good as our first visit. Fantastic seaview, large warm comfortable room. Cleaned everyday including Xmas day! As returning guests we were given a basket of fruit and a bottle of water. A really nice gesture. Ideal location for the Old Town, a two minute walk to the square... More

Excellent location right on beach front. Rooms are basic but does mater if you have a room with a sea view. The balcony give the impression that your litterly over the sea. Location meant that we never eat in the hotel as there's an amazing selection of restaurants within 2 minutes walk. The bar at night was good, would recommend... More
