SOL by Meliá Pelícanos Ocas

I stayed in this hotel 2 years ago and that it was good,the food was good and rooms were the usual Spanish hotel room.. However,this time I can see a difference,there are to sides to the hotel,it looks like one side has had an update,but they need to improve on the other side,it's shabby and dated,the toilets in the reception area are so badly in need of some kind of update,the rooms are reasonably ok ,clean and comfy bed,the food is shocking,the dinner is poor quality,nothing is hot,really you shouldn't have to put your food in the microwave,I had to give up going to the restaurant as it's not worth the disappoinment.

Stayed here for the 2nd year running, but will not stay here again. Very expensive, I know prices rise in half term. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms basic and dated need a refurb. Shabby decor and fittings, balcony very small. On the plus side beds comfy and clean. Air con useless and mouldy fridge. Bathroom fitments in bad condition but you do get a bath and a shower. Saving grace is the lovely pool area very large. Never went to the entertainment as so close to so much more outside the hotel so cannot comment. Food lukewarm and not much choice, we got by but had a couple of meals out. Have had a lot better food in Benidorm would not recommend. Plus side weather was great and hotel is very central.

LAS COMIDAS ESTUVIERON ESTUPENDAS

Todo muy bn, buen hotel

Beautiful pool area lovely clean room and a well positioned hotel. Went half board and the food was lovely. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Everything was lovely.

We had a great time here. Hotel was spotless, the cleaners worked all day. The room was cleaned every day with new towels provided. The reception area/bar/pool area was always clean. Room was good, comfortable beds and sofa bed. Shower was really good. Air con was slow but did the job. Location is great, 7 min walk to beach. Lots of shops, pubs, restaurants. There’s a lot of choice in restaurant but we struggled to find something for evening meal so went to restaurants outside. Snack bar was great for kids. Staff were all friendly.

Room was good, pool was good, food was shocking, not a single clean glass for 2 days in a row at breakfast. The plates were dirty and you’re lucky if you can get a lift, prepare to walk the stairs a lot. Charge you for a cup at the bar if you forget your tokens. Lives off the show, staff very friendly however. Stinks of weed

Room: The room was great my only niggle is that the AC could be a bit stronger. Cleanliness: The hotel is clean and have now complaints. Noise: If you are on the entertainment side of the hotel you can hear it up until 10:30ish but its not bad as its pretty decent music. Food: Right.... this is my first BIG complaint. We were there for 1 week and EVERY NIGHT it was chicken and vegetables or fish. There was no variety so we ended up going out for food. Elevators: The other complaint. The lifts took forever. They would go to the bottom floor, then the top floor before coming to your floor. Then it would stop on every floor below yours before reaching the lobby. Overall: Room Is good, friendly staff. Pool is nice.
