    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    At the Gran Hotel Sol y Mar, you’re a stone’s throw from a treacle-coloured sandy beach and the iconic Penon d’Ifach rock that rises majestically from the sea.

    This place is just for adults, and it’s good looking inside and out. The two restaurants have got floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the ocean. There’s an infinity pool with a neat beach bar for food, as well.

    Stay here, and you’ll be right by the restaurants, bars and open-fronted shops of Calpe. And if you head south, you’ll reach Benidorm’s neon lights in half an hour.

    First Time in Calpe
    10 Jun , 2019 JT2118, 186565
    We have been visiting all the Costa's in Spain to decide which we like best and having picked this hotel we have high hopes for this Costa. Staff are warm and friendly and willing to help with any situation, the room is large and always cleaned to a high standard with lovely big towels replaced every day if you choose. The restaurant and pool areas are lovely with no problems locating a comfortable sun bed. Some of the balconies should be advertised as a limited sea view but the area around the hotel is kept clean and tidy with very little noise. Some of the facilities were not available as slightly out of season but this did not hamper our stay.

    Wonderful Hotel!

    We just came back from our trip to Calpe and stayed at the Gran Hotel Sol y Mar. The hotel was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay! The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived, everyone is really genuine and friendly. Near the reception, fruit and sweets are on offer as well as some snacks and drinks near the stairs and lift area. We did not know this at first and searched a long time for a shop to get some water as everything is closed on Sunday, but when we returned we discovered that snacks and drinks were on offer for no extra cost! Really a lovely touch from the hotel! As for dinner and breakfast itself, it was to die for! Very great international breakfast all with good quality, there really is something for everyone. Same goes for dinner. We've gained a couple kilo's from our one week stay just because the food was so good! The hotel is situated near a wonderful beach, a beautiful promenade and some really great restaurants nearby. This being our first time visiting Calpe, we were greatly surprised with how lush and green everything was! The room we booked was great as well and we got little treats such as pillow spray and various creams! We will definitely return again! 5*!

    We haven’t been to Calpe before, and what a lovely place it has turned out to be. Our hotel was situated by the beach ,and near a lovely promenade, with lots of bars and restaurants , serving all types of different food. It isn’t really a place to have stag does as it is on the quiet side. We prefer it anyway. Not a lot of English is being spoken by the locals, but we got by. The hotel is amazing, I couldn’t fault it at all. Breakfast was international, if you expect bacon like you have at home don’t . But the choice was vast, with real orange juice in the mornings, you could see the oranges turning in the machine, very nice. The staff. Are very friendly, but again most of them only spoke Spanish. The rooms were very clean, and spacious, there are different levels, some with balcony and some with courtyard view, depending how much you are willing to pay. The once with see view are the most expensive, but the view is amazing. There are little extras you get from the hotel, which is a nice touch. Would I recommend this hotel yes, we had a lovely time, and are definitely going back.
