Sol Dunas Resort

Stayed here last week for a duration of a week, very impressed with the resort and facilities available. The hotel appears to be newly built is impressive, it is a large complex shared with another hotel - Melia Dunas on one end. Had a two bedroom apartment which was very spacious and clean, but was a long walk to the lobby. The cleaners are good but can often forget things but will try their best. There are multiple pools to use which are good, and there is a beach with dedicated sun loungers for the hotel as well. There is also a gym, and if you are all inclusive you have access to a buffet restaurant as well two served restaurants (The Grille and la Terrazzo) but you have to book these in advance. If you are all inclusive with Sol Dunas however you do not get access to all restaurants on the beach (ones on the Boulevard you have to pay for). For evenings there are multiple bars to go to, as well as an ampitheatre with a show on every evening, the production is good but obviously in-line with a hotel so do not expect west end level. There is a nearby town Santa Maria which I recommend, short taxi ride or shuttle bus with a good beach and fish market, going in the evening to local bars is worth it as well. Also recommend doing a day tour trip around the island, which is very well priced at 25 euros pp, but this is through some local tour operators on the beach rather than through an resort rep which is more expensive.

Just returned from a 2 week stay....was sceptical about going especially after reading reviews, however, where to start, wouldn’t listen to reviews!!! Was in a party of 10 including 2 children (15 & 9) Check in went well ( thank you to Gracelina) we upgraded to a 2 bed apartment- block 6 which was well situated, apartment was very spacious, cleaned everyday, requested tea/coffee facilities and iron & board which arrived promptly. Complex is very large however only took couple of days to find our bearings, Plenty of pools to choose from, we opted for pool at Sal bar, which had fab entertainment throughout the day for both adults and children, activity staff do a great job (Big thank you & mention to Elvis & Antionette) night time shows were excellent especially Mamma Mia & Lion King..... Plenty of choice for food, we ate at Spices, The Grille and the Italian, all excellent. Good nights spent at both Odyssey Bar & Sal Bar Short walk through complex to beach, which is fabulous. Took a trip around the island (booked at beach which saved a lot of money) excellent day!!! Do take your own inflatables for pool with you though as can be expensive to buy. Fantastic holiday from start to finish, Weather was hot,,,,, Beautiful unspoiled island and will definitely be returning to the Sol Dunas.

Stayed here for a week Sept18. The hotel is nice and the rooms are clean,unfortunately due inconsiderate noisy people we had to move out apartment after an all night party kept us awake.We were in block9 and the phone in the room was broken so we could not call security for help.They moved us to block10 which was fine until my hubby took ill he needed a doctor again the phone in this apartment was broken.I walked all the way to 'reception to ask for help and receptionist said he would call the doctor .We waited 4hrs no doctor the receptionist forgot !!!! By the time the Doctor came she had to get an ambulance to transport my husband to the clinic.The medical service was good when he did eventually get help.The doctor also spoke to housekeeping as we had been left all day in an apartment with no towels and no sheets on the bed whilst waiting for medical help.The doctor and the nurse were very kind. We did receive help from Jose (from the level)who drives a buggy he was excellent help to transport is around the resort .Also Graceilna on the front desk who was very kind and tried her best to help us sort out apartment move.Marcello at guest services was also helpful sorting out a room in our departure day. We did not have the best holiday would we return? No but the food was fine the weather was lovely.We were unfortunate our week was spoiled with noisy neighbours illness and broken phones.
