Hotel Sol D'or belongs to the Best Hotels. As a result, we were not very happy with them. The hotel is located 50 meters from del Raco beach. From the photos on the Internet, it seemed to us what we needed. But photographs can be deceiving. From the outside, the hotel is beautiful, both from photographs and live. The inner area is small. They write 2 pools. One is an adult, the other is a child. It's hard to call it a pool. It looks huge in the photos, but in fact it is small and knee-deep! The children's pool is a puddle. The gym is terrible. A small glassed-in room on the first floor overlooking the courtyard. There are a couple of trainers. Some of them are broken. There is a stage in the courtyard for evening performances. There are tables with chairs. Animation consists of two guys and one girl. No animation. They really don't know how to entertain kids. All day long they sit in the hotel and do nothing. In the evenings, they often install large screens and speakers, turn on loud music. The screens show the performances of famous singers. Once we stayed in the hotel in the evening to watch a live performance of the Beatles. . We really enjoyed. They played and sang very well and looked like the Beatles. The audience sang and danced. It was fun. Another time we watched flamenco. I also liked it very much. They danced very well. For more than 2 weeks of rest, there were no interesting performances in the evenings in the program. We got a good number, on the 3rd floor, for three people, with room 333. Everything is as it should be. Overlooking the street. Evening music from the territory of our hotel reached us, but did not annoy. We slept peacefully. We had a triple room, spacious. There was a loggia. The room had 3 wide beds, 3 bedside tables (2 small, 1 long), a table with an old TV (1 Russian channel, Channel One), a large mirror, a wardrobe (1 large compartment with 1 shelf and hangers, and 1 narrow compartment with 3 shelves (a safe weighs under the bottom shelf, we had it broken)), air conditioning (good), telephone. We did not use the safe. Everything was hidden in suitcases. They are on our locks. The lighting in the room is not strong. 3 light bulbs (2 above beds, 1 above TV). The bathroom consisted of a bath, sink, toilet, bidet, large mirror, there was a hair dryer (good). The lighting in the bathroom is good. Our room was cleaned every day. Washed floors, changed towels, bed linen gave disposable shampoos, soap, shower gels, bath caps, threw out the trash. Cleaned up great. Nothing is missing. We were well received at the reception. There was always a Russian-speaking girl and a guy. All questions were answered. They gave complete information. There was free Wi-Fi on the first floor of the hotel. We were on a laptop. It works for us only connected to the charger. Out of all the outlets there, only one works. And it is located next to their computers. Internet they cost 6 euros per hour. Only one of the two computers works. Next to the room where the computers are, there is a conference room. Hotel guides meet their tourists there. In the same room there is a large plasma TV that can be watched at any time. Well, let's talk about the dining room. Breakfast starts at 8 to 10:15, lunch from 13:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 19:00 to 20:00. At the entrance to the dining room, they stand and note who has come. The dining room is not designed for all guests in the hotel. Therefore, if you are late, by about an hour, you will stand in line. The dining room is located on the second floor of the hotel. The line stretches to the first floor. The staff of the dining room all seated himself. The girls who clean the tables work very slowly. Especially in the first room. All girls are from South Africa. Russian is not understood at all. You need to speak to them in English. You can order white, rose, sparkling wine, beer, water, juices from them. Naturally for a fee. Grab and try the Sangria for sure. This is the national wine of the Spaniards. Serve it in a jug, like compote. At the bottom are pieces of fruit. Good tasting. Half a liter costs 5 euros (if you take for three, then this is 2 glasses each). And there is 1 liter. It costs 10 euros. Nutrition. Of the whole buffet, we really liked their pastries and fruits. Everything else is not tasty. We had half board (breakfast and dinner). Breakfast for 2 weeks was monotonous. We had to choose from fried eggs, french fries, sandwiches (which you can make yourself), terrible-tasting small sausages or an omelette that was cooked in front of us on the stove (very not tasty). In the second week, we were terribly tired of it all. There is no baby food. Children can only be fed cereal with milk. Good thing you could have coffee, tea or juice for breakfast. There were 4 cars. 2 poured coffee, hot water or milk and 2 poured juices. There were problems with milk. The car gave him very little. The juices were delicious. You could also drink champagne. Dinner is not meant for that. And this is a minus. Because you still want something to drink for dinner. I had to order. Extra waste. The dinner menu was better than the breakfast menu. The menu changed every day. There was a fish day, a meat, vegetable, Mexican (everything was spicy) day, etc. Anyway, some dish was undersalted, some oversalted, tasteless, with some incomprehensible taste, old, etc. Salads are terrible . The first day was a fresh seafood salad. Not tasty. And it seemed to me very coarsely chopped. On the second day, the same salad was under mayonnaise. Generally crap. For 2 weeks I ate only a fresh salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. Sprinkled them with grated cheese, and it turned out delicious. If you come to the beginning of dinner, you will have to push around and stand in line for food, because there is not enough space. We had to stand in line at the stove for a long time. It is forbidden to take anything from the dining room. They can make a comment. We still carried fruit. The fruits were all juicy, except for the watermelon. Watermelon isn't in season yet. Apples, peaches, grapes, plums, melons, oranges, tangerines are all delicious. And their ice cream is delicious too.
