Friendly team, nice location, just set back far enough to not be in the noisy night life of the old town, but close enough to walk within in a few minutes. Breakfast was pretty standard, but worked for us. Rooms were a good size, plenty of space, balcony over looking the ocean was a nice touch.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Sol e Mar and would definitely come back. Service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We got there early and our room was already ready, which made the start of the trip so much easier. The staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The room was clean and spacious, with a balcony and a beautiful view of the beach. Falling asleep to the sound of the sea and waking up to that view was one of the best parts of the stay. The location is hard to beat. The hotel elevator gives easy access down to the beach, and the tunnel from the beach up to the Old Town is extremely convenient. You can be on the sand one minute and in the restaurants and shops a few minutes later. Breakfast was included and truly top notch — a great selection and a lovely way to start the day. We also enjoyed the nightly entertainment in the hotel. It was a nice, relaxed way to end the evening without having to go far. Clean rooms, excellent service, a superb location, and a breakfast we looked forward to every morning. Highly recommended.

Disliked: Amenities
Beach umbrellas were not included and it was not at all clear in the description. Toilet paper was hard as sandpaper. Bath towels are dingy, old and hard. No tissue paper, no lotions, one bottle of water. Coffee pods that did not work. I was given a room on floor 1 with an obstructed view with two big flags blocking my view. Noisy as hell in the morning and evening with the restaurant workers dragging chairs into and out of the restaurant. Coinvent location, breakfast buffet great but beach towels require a deposit and many had holes in them. For an expensive hotel these faults should not exist. The fridge in the room is a chiller and does not do much to get the drinks cold (I was there when another guest complained about this as well). Jorge and Jorge were very informative and helpful.

Great location in Old Town. Roof top room overlooked the ocean. Room was very clean and big. The included breakfast was wonderful as we looked out on the water and beach. We were able to check in early after an overnight flight and have breakfast too. We enjoyed the adults only atmosphere. Would easily stay here again.
