Sol y Mar Aparthotel * * *

Pleasant and attractive apartment property offering half-board and all-inclusive board as well as self-catering. There is more attention to detail in the grounds and exterior than many similar offerings. The grounds are rather restricted but the sandy beach is literally across the road. It is mainly used by a variety of international guests but virtually no English. It suits those wanting to be right in the heart of the resort and near the beach, with a good bar onsite for the evenings. The programme of entertainment is in German only.

Exterior

Unusually attractive exterior for this area with a curved facade, balustrade balconies and tiled roof sections. Two 5-storey cream buildings linked by a greenery-covered walkway. The ground floor has glass-fronted facilities wrapped around the street corner. All apartments have a balcony.

Grounds

A pleasant wood-decked pool surround has rock walls and a waterfall plus a rock feature at one end of the pool. Plastic seating is available on a terrace by the pool, which has a tiny plastic bar hut. The pool has a sloping 'beach-style' entrance but there is little space for sunbeds around the cramped pool.

Location

Area Type: On a junction, on the inland side of the coastal street and just off the seafront promenade. Amenities are available in all directions and the heart of the resort is less than a 5-minute walk away. A local bus service around the island and locally stops on the same street, as does the resort mini-train.
