The Best Hotel in Calp by Far
This was our third visit to this lovely hotel in 2 years, we stayed for 9 nights from the 11th of July. we are returning in 8 weeks with some friends to make it the fourth visit. We are also planning to return twice next year 💪 The staff are all great and very helpful and friendly, a BIG shout out to Esteban on reception 👍 we had a small issue with our room 142 and he sorted it straight away, the view from the room is amazing 🤩 the breakfast area outside is amazing, the food choices are huge, there is nothing to want, fresh omelette and eggs available, cooked to order. Rooms are well equipped, aircon works well, lovely walk in shower, coffee and tea facilities, mini bar with a few free drinks included. Very clean hotel, there is cleaners all day around all areas, keeping the place spotless. The pool bar staff are friendly, efficient and attentive, not badly priced beer and wine, complementary nuts and crisps, top tip sunbathe in the plastic grass area on the lower level it’s much more pleasant, the area around the pool bar is a bit to busy. Can’t understand why people que before 9 outside and inside to get a sunbed 🤔 we never failed to get 3 sunbeds on the lower level. Counting down to our next visit, can’t come soon enough. Keep up the great work 💪

Solymar Hotel Calpe – 5⭐️
Loved my stay here. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. The hotel is modern, spotless, and right on the beach. Breakfast was a highlight: great food and absolutely amazing views every morning. Already planning my next visit.
The best luxury cycling hotel
This is a great hotel for an adults only escape. Located right in the middle of town, direct access to the beach, a pool club with great music and live DJs, a rooftop pool (both infinity pools), good gym. This hotel has it all and I’m pretty picky.
The rooms are a good size, plenty of amenities and good air con.
But what you all want to hear about is the cycling facilities. I was here for a purely cycling holiday in July and the facilities were great. Two dedicated secure attended bike garages with storage racks for about 20 bikes, a help yourself workshop with all the tools and work stand, dedicated washing machines for your jerseys and bibshorts, a washing bay, chargers for e-bikes. There are two big lifts from garage to street level. The only thing I would add is combination locks or similar on the racks to further secure your individual bike, but at no point did it feel unsafe leaving my bike there. No more bikes on balconies, this is the place of you’re here for cycling and a bit of luxury.

Fabulous 3rd Holiday.
Just returned from our third stay at this fabulous hotel, and once again it exceeded our expectations.
We stayed in a sea view room on the 5th floor (Room 536), and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the rooms are spacious with an incredibly comfortable, huge bed. The bathroom is luxurious, with two showers, and every amenity you could need is provided, including robes, slippers, a beach bag, a sun hat, and even a lovely nightly treat.
Breakfast was absolutely brilliant, with everything you could possibly want. There was an amazing selection of freshly baked bread, made-to-order omelettes, cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, pastries and cakes, along with so much more. If you wanted to start your day with a glass of fizz or even a beer, that was available too!
Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming, and always smiling, making you feel valued from the moment you arrived.
We loved spending time at the beach club and relaxing by the fantastic pool. The bar had a great atmosphere, and in the evenings we enjoyed strolling just a few streets away where there was a huge choice of excellent restaurants.
To round off each evening, we headed back to the pool bar where there was live music from fantastic bands. It was the perfect way to end the night with a drink in such a lovely atmosphere.
A real bonus is the large supermarket directly underneath the hotel, which stocks absolutely everything you could need during your stay.
If you’re thinking of booking Hotel Solymar, don’t hesitate you won’t be disappointed. We can’t wait to return for our fourth visit!
Thank you, Solymar, for another wonderful holiday

Treat yourself
Super location and hotel. The sea view room is exquisite. This is a 4 star hotel which should be 5 star. The staff go the extra mile for you. The food is fabulous and the entire hotel gives that touch of class. 2nd stay and it won’t be the last. 10/10 thank you 👌🥂
