We both come from the 5 * dining and were desegen rather sceptically which the 3* Sol y Mar expected. But this hotel has our expectations by far exceeded! The complex itself is very nicely laid out and maintained. The rooms are rather small, but very clean and are every day nicely decorated. The hotel-owned beach is very clean, and you never get the feeling towel to towel! The food is okay,of course no stars cuisine but you always find something what tastes and is for certain never starving. You shouldn't forget, that the kitchen 3 times per day buffet style charms must, … read more
