It appears there has been no review since April this year. Wonder why?
Altho there is major construction across the little road to the stony beach, the room was quiet and comfortable. The staff were helpful and pleasant.
We always look forward to breakfast, and this is the first time ever I feel I should complain. OK - no cereals is not the end of the world, but we just felt the lack of choice was really mean. It was as if the Hotel was going to close the next day. The good reviews of 2010 as far as breakfast was concerned made us choose Sole Mare over other possibilities.

Very friendly personnel, full attention, care, good recommendation for a dinner.
Good location. Easy access by car. Easy parking. Nice breakfast. Nice interior.
Impressed

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and in Ventimiglia. After a long day of travelling it was only a short walk from the train station to the hotel (Around 8 mins)

The staff and service was friendly and helpful, our room had a view of the beach which was across the road and we had a decent room size aswell.

Breakfast was included with our stay and we found it all to be very tasty. The hotel staff also recommended a nice restaurant for dinner which was only a 2 min walk from the hotel , the food was excellent.

I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. We wish we stayed longer.

Ventimiglia and Hotel Sole Mare both were not quite what we hoped for, but we still did enjoy our time there. We were looking for someplace on the Italian Rivera that wouldn't be filled with other Americans and allowed us to enjoy the beach and the area. Hotel Sole Mare is at the far end of town across the street from the water. Unfortunately, there was an unattractive vacant lot next door and the city was building a marina where the beach would have been directly across the street, so we looked out at heavy construction equipement and heard lots of dumping noise. We hadn't expected a beach of river rocks, but the kids did enjoy the clean water to swim in here. People were friendly, we never heard English spoken unless people attempted to converse with us (very gracious and patient people), and it was a relaxed beach town. Restaurants had great food and water views nearby. It was just on the border of France and we could be in Monaco in just about 40 minutes, which made for a great day trip. The hotel rooms were small standard European hotel rooms and met our needs. The staff was friendly and breakfast was good. We felt the value wasn't good compared to the rest of our Italy stay. I might consider other options if in Ventimiglia, but if you are here, the hotel is fine.
