We arrived after a 220 mile drive and after locating hotel parked just outside on a no parking area ......nowhere else to park. The hotel recpetionst was at the entrance telling me i couldnt park there. I told her we were booking in. After a wait of at lease 30 mins including a 10 min walk after parking the car we were given the room key. The view from the room was excellent but that was the high point. The decor & fixtures in the room were dated, the bath taps felt like they would come of if you used them, the ceiling had water marks as had the b'room walls.The entire hotel was in dire need of a complete refurbish. This hotel is rated 4* how i dont no, i would give it a 1* for the view. We decided not to stay. We went and paid our bill in full as the recpetionist insisted they had already paid the company we had booked through. We stayed at the excellent 3* roc e mar instead.

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 at this time of year, always found a place about 250 yards away UP a hill past the church.
At first we found the breakfast/dinner to be excellent but it seemed to deteriate, don't know why. Very sameness with little choice. Raw burgers! tinned veg! jelly desert! no cheese and biscuits.
Lovely staff though. Bar had a different cocktail of the day each day but they always tasted the same with a wedge of kiwi on the side? (poor bar man!)
There was a man playing a keyboard most evenings and some older couples used to take to the floor. This was the only entertainment or a TV screen.
This hotel has a 4* location but only just passes as a 3*.

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 and the eateries and bars. Walk out of the rear entrance straight on to the beach(which is cleaned every night) Only had bed and breakfast which was adequate with plenty of selection. Friendly welcoming staff and a special mention to Louis the barman who's always laughing and joking and makes a fantastic Bloody Mary!!
