Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden

8/10 Good

"Property was nice with good amenities good price friendly staff but we had ants if you left food out"

ETHOS Bertolina Wellness Urban Living.

8/10 Good

"Lovely vibe at this property, friendly staff and if there was a problem they sort it out for you. Our kettle didn’t work, they replaced it with a brand new one on the same day. It’s a bit noisy on a night as the property overlooks the square but it didn’t cause us too much of a problem. It has a small pool and sun terrace where we spent quite a bit of time. Would definitely go back!"

Hotel Sol e Mar - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Sol e Mar and would definitely come back. Service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We got there early and our room was already ready, which made the start of the trip so much easier. The staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The room was clean and spacious, with a balcony and a beautiful view of the beach. Falling asleep to the sound of the sea and waking up to that view was one of the best parts of the stay. The location is hard to beat. The hotel elevator gives easy access down to the beach, and the tunnel from the beach up to the Old Town is extremely convenient. You can be on the sand one minute and in the restaurants and shops a few minutes later. Breakfast was included and truly top notch — a great selection and a lovely way to start the day. We also enjoyed the nightly entertainment in the hotel. It was a nice, relaxed way to end the evening without having to go far. Clean rooms, excellent service, a superb location, and a breakfast we looked forward to every morning. Highly recommended."
