Gran Hotel Sol y Mar

Bottled water in the fridge, with free refillable water fountains on every floor, super friendly staff, great hotel

We’ve just returned from our family holiday and wedding in Spain, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We spent the majority of our stay at Suitopia with our three children, and it was absolutely perfect for a family trip. We also stayed at the Sol y Mar Hotel on the night of our wedding as a newly married couple, and although our stay was short, it was truly stunning. It was the perfect way to end such a special day, and we will 100% be returning for a longer break in the future. A special mention must go to Yasmine. The night before our wedding we organised a pre-drinks evening at the Doreè, and she was nothing short of incredible. So attentive, kind, and honest—nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She was an absolute joy to work with and a real credit to the Estemar team. The wider team working at the Doreè that evening were also outstanding and helped make the night feel so special and seamless. If we could do it all again, we would in a heartbeat. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks and recognition to everyone involved—they truly deserve it.

Everything perfect

Recently returned from a 4 night stay. What a fabulous hotel. Wonderful room, with lovely little touches. Super comfy beds. The hotel is absolutely spotless and staff are caring and courteous. Food was very good with amazing choices. Location excellent. Two fabulous infinity pools and a great Beach Club. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thank you Sol y Mar.

Beachfront, adults-only hotel with views of the rock and stunning sunsets. Parking is difficult in the area, but hotel guests can park in the garage directly below for a fixed daily rate of €18. It's well worth the parking fee, as you can easily explore Calpe on foot while keeping your car protected from the sun! The hotel staff are very attentive at reception, in the restaurant, at the bar, and at the pools—everyone is very friendly. You're welcomed with a drink at the welcome bar. The rooms are very comfortable and clean (the pillows and the water pressure shower are the best!), and you'll find linens, toiletries, slippers, and a couple of welcome cookies with the Wi-Fi QR code printed on them! The pool area is always packed, but with luck, you can find a couple of sun loungers every day. Towels, sunscreen, and after-sun lotion are provided. The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious options!

My partner and I spent three days there, and it was spectacular. The views from every spot are incredible, and the customer service from the staff was outstanding, especially Jerry, who was the first to greet us upon arrival. He was very friendly and explained everything perfectly. We will definitely be back!

We had the best stay at Sol y Mar. We were originally booked to stay for 5 nights and planned to travel further along the coast. We enjoyed the facilities and the location so much, that we extended our stay at the hotel for the full duration of our trip. The staff are so friendly, Danielle at reception made us feel so welcome and definitely made our stay extra special. The hotel is spotlessly clean, we thank Luz for the great job she did on our rooms each day. We stayed in sea view rooms, which were just spectacular. The breakfast is amazing, there is something for everyone. We can’t recommend Sol y Mar enough. We hope to return again in September to this wonderful hotel.

A very nice hotel. The staff is very professional and attentive. The food is excellent. Really nothing negative to say. You can go there with complete peace of mind. The evening entertainment is of good quality.
