My stay at Sol Guadalmar had its ups and downs. While the location right by the beach was fantastic, and the staff were generally friendly and accommodating, there were issues with room cleanliness and the overall dining experience. The breakfast options were decent, though not really good, and the pool area could use better maintenance. Overall, it met my expectations but didn’t quite exceed them.

I found the family room quite small, and needed to ask for the bunks to be removed for safety. Although the rooms were clean, there was a damp smell from the AC that was noticeable at first. Overall, the comfort and amenities were satisfactory.

The staff members at the front desk and restaurant were friendly and helpful, responding to my requests promptly. However, there were times when I found the reception a bit rushed and unhelpful with specific information, which could be frustrating.
Location

Located right on the beach, the hotel was close to the sea and had easy access to the airport, which was convenient for my short stay. Nonetheless, being somewhat isolated from local attractions meant I had to depend on a 30-minute bus ride or taxi for dining options, which was a bit of a hassle.

Breakfast had a good variety, including fresh fruit and pastries, but could be better. I found bar food to be overpriced and lacking in choice. Unfortunately, dinner options were limited, especially during winter when local restaurants closed early.

Facilities like the gardens and pool area were nice, but the pool could use better maintenance. I did enjoy the outdoor seating areas for relaxation, though, and appreciated the activities provided for children.

My stay at Sol Guadalmar was pretty chill, thanks to its beachfront location and friendly staff, but the overall vibe was too quiet for my taste. The room was clean, and the amenities were decent, but nothing wowed me. I wouldn’t want to come back just for the lack of evening entertainment, but if you're looking to sunbathe and do nothing else, it's not a bad pick.
