Totul este superb, recomand cu mare drag

Cons:

Foarte multa galagie pe plaja, pana la 6 dimineata, as evita vederea pe plaja, chiar daca vederea este superba.

Prima hotel, maar wel in drukke buurt gelegen.
Pros:

Ontbijt en avondeten waren prima in orde. Veel keuze.
Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
De bedden waren zeer goed en er was keuze van type kussens, zo gewenst.

Cons:

De ligging viel wat tegen, was in drukke buurt met straatlawaai.
We wilden de zee horen en slapen met het raam open, maar dat kon niet wegens te veel lawaai.

Cons:

La explicación de una chica en recepción sobre como controlaban la entrega de toallas, en ningún momento nos tomaron nota de la habitación cuando devolvimos las tarjetas que canjearon cuando las devolvimos. Por lo que nos quedó la duda de si constaría como que nuestra habitación si las había entregado.

Amazing experiance
Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The perfect place to celebrate my 30th birthday!

I chose SOLYMAR Gran Hotel to celebrate my 30th birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have made a better choice. I spent a long time looking for the perfect place for such a special occasion, and I can say without any doubt that I have absolutely no regrets – it was even better than I imagined.

We were incredibly happy and surprised to receive an even better room than we expected, with an absolutely breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. It made my birthday and our entire stay feel truly special and unforgettable.

Everything about this hotel was exceptional. The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish and perfectly maintained, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every meal we had was excellent.

The staff deserve a special mention as well. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming and professional. We felt very well taken care of throughout our entire stay.

I wanted my 30th birthday to be something I would remember for a long time, and SOLYMAR made it exactly that. The incredible room, spectacular sea view, fantastic food, beautiful surroundings and outstanding service created an experience that exceeded all of our expectations.

Thank you to the entire SOLYMAR team for making such an important occasion so memorable.

We will definitely be coming back. One of the best hotel experiences we have ever had – highly recommended! ❤️

Hotel, donde he estado muy a gusto
Pros:

La habitación tenía unas vistas preciosas

Cons:

La piscina muy llena de gente y difícilmente quede algún sitio libre desde las 9:00 de la mañana hasta las 3:00 de la tarde difícil poder coger las hamacas en la parte de arriba.
Yo pondría un alquiler de las hamacas por horas para que todos lo pudieran disfrutar
