Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The only good thing was the room and on a holiday you don’t spend that much time in your room. Even the pool was shut down. Would not recommended but your choice I guess.
Location n spacious
Great location, service n hospitality was very nice. Love the free breakfast, great coffee machines but I missed the reg American drip coffe. The towels could have been softer. We had the 4th floor w balcony. But all the rooms might have the balcony. It was very private n spacious. The noise level was high, could hear the punzo player in the dancers in Sunday but stopped at around 11pm which was nice. Definitely recommend

Sol e Mar
Returned from Sol e Mar on the 26.5.26. Firstly, the positives - the hotel is in a lovely position on the beach and within close proximity to the Old Town. Breakfast is excellent and the staff and cleanliness is very good. However, there is a considerable amount of construction work immediately outside the hotel on the beach. Heavy plant is running from 6 or 7 am until 7.30pm. We were unable to use our balcony to sit out and relax because of the considerable noise outside. We were in fact unable to even have our balcony door open. The work has been going on for several months and is likely to continue for some time to come. I made formal complaint to the hotel and my tour operator and am awaiting the outcome.

Fantastic location
Just returned from a 3 night break at this hotel. We loved it. Location was amazing, what a view. Breakfast was so good, plenty of choice. Staff at breakfast were so friendly and helpful. Rooms modern and clean. I would definitely go back to this hotel.
