Sol Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park

Yes the parking was excellent

The hotel is a very large one sitting in large grounds. Everything is perfectly maintained, we were early in the season and things were being cleaned, repaired and painted ready for the main season. The staff are all well dressed, friendly and helpful. The room we had on the 6th floor was fantastic and we had a good view of the sea and got every sunset. The cleaning staff were very good at their jobs and I never felt that anything would go missing. Plenty of hot water, good shower, bath too, pair of sinks. We had hired a car at the airport and we had been informed there would be plenty of parking, unfortunately they didnt mention the cost. I think we paid just under £80 for 7 nights parking which I was not happy about. Also upon arrival we were offered an upgrade from half board to all inclusive for the price of £480, we declined and they didnt push it again. The drinks were not cheap, the local beers were not particularly great, we ended up drinking very little all week and was pleased we had not gone all inclusive. The breakfasts were pretty much the same every day, something that vaguely looked like bacon, beans, eggs, mushrooms, etc as well as cereal, toast, meats, cheese, coffee and juices, the main issue we had here was that everything was just warm or cold!! In the end we discovered the microwave and sat near that so we could nuke our food so it was hot. Evening meals were different every night, there was a choice.

Good

Large room, good location for the purpose of trip

I had two bookings and only stayed one night before going to another hotel for two nights, then returned for three more nights under the other booking. This one night stay was fine, but I have some complaints about the all inclusive upgrade on my second booking, but that is for that review. It’s not worth it. Great one nighter though.

Hotel rooms are in poor conditions. Air conditioning does not cool properly and there is a strong bad rotten odor coming from the vents. Toilet seat was broken and the drain of water is poor. Beds are not comfortable.

Very enjoyable stay

Food was great.

The buffets are amazing, endless choices, tasty food, menu well put together, great for everyone (with or without diet restictions, kids, old people, picky people,etc). Ive never seen so many choices for milk, some 10 kinds! Great salads, great fruits, too. Spacious rooms. Convenience stores. Activities for all ages (zoomba, flamenco show, pilates, etc). Helpful and upbeat staff. My only negative comment: the upholstered chairs in buffet area are in dire need of cleaning. Note: in that area the beach is rocky, no fine sand, but better beach 100m away.

This hotel is good for family with lots of kids and want to stay in Marbella area without spending lots of money. The lobby, restaurant, and the pool area are very good. The conditions of the rooms are terrible. Terrace dirty and doors are broke. The beds and bellows are very old and bad. The whole room and bathroom are old and outdated. And the room someone would have very bad smell. This should be around $120 a night hotel not $225 . I would not stay there again.

Bonjour ! Le parking un calvaire puis c est payant. Pour une femme de ménage qui rentre le premier matin sans permission et en lui refusant de rentrer à 8h du matin mon mari était encore endormi et moi allongée! Le pire elle m’annonce s’il ne le faisait pas elle ne pourra le faire que jusqu’au lendemain ! J’étais sidérée par son audace et impolitesse ! Je n’ai jamais vu ceci de ma vie. Ensuite, je me suis plainte au près de la réceptionniste, elle était choquée et elle a immédiatement envoyé quelqu’un pour faire la chambre. Autrement on auraient quitté l’hôtel immédiatement.

Great place to go with family ! Food is so good, a lot of activities to do in the hotel

Very nice Hotel lucky there was a group of Swedish Golfers who put on a band with singers

The room we had was nice. Everything was in good repair, modern, updated, spacious with good linens. The lobby is enormous, with a bar/restaurant, but no room service. The hotel has three pools, but none are heated.

Excellent

Generally very good

We had very bad service, the staff were not helptul at all, the bedsheets were not changed throughout our whole stay which was 5 days. We were a couple with a child, they gave us twin beds put next to eachother even though we requested a king or double bed , they said they "dont" have this in the hotel which was very odd. Our daughters bed was a sofa bed that opens up, it was not safe, she hurt her head had to be taken to the hospital and get stiches because of the spacing in between, her bed was not even made, we called reception and they told us there is no room service now you have to wait until tomorrow, they expected us to do our own bed. The staff were so unprofessional. I will never go back to that hotel again. I hated my entire holiday because of this hotel.

Best luck. I love it I enjoyed it

Nice hotel for families. there were almost no veg options in the meals, the AC didn't work properly after it got "fixed". our room was clean and comfertable to stay in. do note that the parking isn't free.

Good value for money and great for families.
