Perfect family holiday
Just arrived home from an amazing holiday at this hotel - simply amazing! The location was perfect for us, only about 20 mins from the airport via coach and situated right by the beach. It was a quiet area but it was fine for what we were after. There are a few shops, bars and restaurants a short walk away but unable to comment on those as we didn’t personally use them but all looked very busy and lovely. The atmosphere at the hotel was great, there was always something going on and is perfectly aimed at families from games in the pool and aerobics to various different shows in the evening, my son was entertained all day. The politeness and cheerfulness from the staff was second to none, from the animation team to the bar and restaurant staff, the reception team and the cleaners. We could not fault anyone, nothing was ever too much and everyone always had a smile on their face. A shoutout to Jonny aka Jonny Boy from the animation team, he was amazing with every single person he met and was never without a smile on his face. He kept the atmosphere upbeat for the whole day, whether it was round the pool or the evening entertainment. The rooms were spotlessly clean as was the rest of the hotel. Beds and towels changed daily as well as a top up of toiletries. My only one small downside was that the room was slightly smaller than previous hotels we have stayed at but considering not much time is spent in there it didn’t change how we felt about the holiday. We would highly recommend and would happily come back to this hotel again!
Fantastic holiday 5 star experience
Travelled with my wife and 8 year old daughter , we arrived around midnight and check in was very fast. And they informed us they had kept the buffet open for us to grab some food and drink which was amazing. Everything about the hotel is fantastic. The pools are great, always managed to get a sunbed , always get the ones go down early still but I went down around 9 ish and managed to get one. The entertainment staff are the best I have ever had at an all inclusive. They got bundles of energy and are very friendly. The entertainment was brilliant. A light and fire show and also the African acrobatics was amazing! Other nights were good too. The food is very good too. Plenty of options, we always used the snack bar by the pool in the day. I had a massage in the spa which was amazing. A lady named salina done it she was fantastic. We went to the water park one day which is around €42 per person but that includes transport it’s definitely worth a visit. The reception are extremely helpful. Any issue you have its sorted immediately. We dealt with niki mainly and she was wonderful. Don’t listen to any bad reviews at all. For families it’s amazing value. Would say it’s definitely a family hotel . Would definitely return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Worth of all the good reviews!
Currently staying at the hotel as a family of 4 (kids 9 & 5)
I have to say the staff, food, cleanliness, kids activities and all amazing.
We are in room number 4 which is ideally positioned and has loads of room. Kids bunk beds (they are quite high, too high for the eldest so one of us has the mattress on the floor but that’s no issue as your only there for a few hours)
Food is really good and if you struggle to find anything in the main restaurant then the snack bar will have you covered for sure!
Thinking of booking for next year already and we haven’t finished this one yet!
Well done to all the staff and the entertainment team, keep up the great work!
Fantastic stay - we will definitely return
Fantastic hotel, location and entertainment team, kids loved Johnny who was always at the pool for the activities - he made their holiday. We used all the pools and certainly made use of the all inclusive food and drink. The hotel is directly opposite a private section of beach which was so handy, it was easy to pop onto the beach for a bit and come back. Thanks for a great holiday team Sol Marina, we hope to be back one day.
Great hotel and staff
