Amazing hotel in the lively seaside town. Rooms are stunning, view is incredible. Hotel is in a prime location and thankfully at night is very quiet compared to other areas. We was celebrating a birthday and the hotel staff picked up on birthday cards in the room and we come back to a little gift from the staff. Could not recommend this hotel enough, we will be back.

Construction taking place in hotel

Unfortunately we were not made aware of construction taking place in the hotel. We would not have booked this hotel if we were made aware. Really disappointed as our restful break wasn't very relaxing.

Our stay at sol e mar was great. The location is great, right on the beach and a few minutes walk to the old town. The staff are lovely and the food was nice. Not a lot of entertainment in the evening but plenty of places to go to in oldtown but sometimes it’s nice to stay in hotel. Maybe a quiz night and a bit more entertainment but I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again
