Solymar Gran Hotel

This hotel was surprisingly good and out of my expectation....

Excellent Hotel, Excellent Location , Room was not ready so we chilled with a drink and a view! 2 pools one on rooftop floor 9 quieter and one across and under tunnel from hotel had to queue for sun beds so that was the only negative as the hotel is so big but just not enough beds , Breakfast is fabulous 2 places to eat we preferred-2 floor with outside terrace opens later, all in all could not fault the hotel

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in, nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff, the bed was very comfy and the view is amazing from the balcony. We stayed half board and took advantage of the great buffet every evening. Breakfast on the downstairs patio was also a nice touch. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel you will be pleased you did.

I had a lovely suite with a balcony, sea view & king size bed. Reception, bars & lounges very grand Breakfast buffet was very extensive, something for everyone Swimming pools (ground & roof top) were lovely. Great base to visit the old town, Roman excavations & fishing port Calpe was a great experience

An excellent hotel close to the beach in Calpe and Wheelchair friendly. Very friendly staff and the breakfast menu was amazing. The room we stayed in was in excellent condition and the general interior of the hotel was modern and impressive.

Perfect in every way We have just returned from a week in this hotel. We stayed in a double sea view room and the views were spectacular. The room was extremely comfortable/ spotlessly clean/ modern and had everything that you need. The hotel has thought of everything including complimentary toiletries/ bathrobes & slippers/ coffee machine/ safe/fridge and a hairdryer. Our bathroom had a double shower,all fixtures & fittings modern & efficient. The room was cleaned daily/ towels replenished as needed. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Cocktails available in the beautiful chill out area were particularly refreshing. The staff in this hotel are a credit to the hospitality industry. Each one of them always aimed to please and were friendly/ polite and attentive. Highly recommended and we will definitely return without a doubt 🥰 Thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay.

We spent two weeks here in September. First a couple of minor niggles. There wasn't great storage in our room. It could have done with a couple more drawers for clothes and a drawer in the bedside cabinet would have been nice, storing books, phone glasses etc on a small bedside table was difficult. Second niggle is there is a scramble for sunbeds at the pool area but I appreciate that happens everywhere. We stayed in SolyMar about 10 years ago, and it has got better. Our room was excellent, it is worth paying extra for a sea view. Huge very comfortable bed, nice bathroom with an excellent shower, TV with BBC1/2 and ITV 1/2/3/4. Small fridge and good size balcony. Decor and furnishings very nice. All the usual things you would expect in a 4 star hotel are there. Facilities are excellent. There is a big supermarket in the building, accessed by lift from reception. The hotel has its own cafe with outside space which is very good. The 360 bar is nice but the Sports bar was shut. The pool is separate from the hotel, it can be accessed from the promenade,or via a tunnel two floors below reception. There is a very nice poll bar and in the evenings the staff remove most of the sunbeds at one end and put sofas, chairs and tables out to create a beach club. We were B&B. The breakfast was fantastic with everything you could possibly want. There are two restaurants, the downstairs one has an outside terrace, right on the promenade. Special mention to Angelica, the chef. The hotel also does some excellent "extras". We went on an electric bike ride around Calpe (free) there was gin tasting and Agua Valencia tasting (look it up it isn't water), also a catamaran trip for €10. In the evening there is music. It rained one day and we were able to borrow umbrellas from reception! The location of the hotel is a major plus point. It is sited on the promenade right in the centre of the "real " town. The touristy bit of Calpe is a ten minute walk away. There is a steep hill to the old town (10 minute walk) where there are nice restaurants. 5 minutes away, there is a part of town with lots of restaurants. The beach is right in front of the hotel. Staff were all lovely and very helpful.
