“The Hotel Sol Dor was a basic hotel, very clean, good...”

★★★★☆

written by on 16/09/2011

The Hotel Sol Dor was a basic hotel, very clean, good evening entertainment, most staff were friendly except for the ones in the restaurant. The choice of food was fantastic couldnt fault it at all. The only bad thing was the restaurant was like a cattle market, there was lots of ignorant eastern europeans, germans etc you would of thought it was there last meal. I was pushed and shoved out the way had numerious elbows in the side of my face and when you asked them to be careful they just ignored you. But dont let this put you off as it was very good value for money

★★★★☆

written by on 25/08/2011

Very spacious , clean with loads of excellent entertainment laid on . My husband , I and 2 children went all inclusive for 10 days and found it very relaxing. Queing in the Restaurant a pain at some times but the food was excellent. A 2 min walk to the beach which was brill. Would go there again ! The children loved all the daily entertainment- very family orientated! Travelled from Ireland.

“Value for Money and enjoyable holiday”

★★★★☆

written by hellsbells001 on 13/08/2011

We throughly enjoyed our 10 day stay in Best Sol Dor and La Pineda. An excellent 3 star hotel, a pleasant resort, not overcrowded with a beautiful beach which is only a few minutes walk from the hotel. When we first arrived at the hotel we were disappointed as we were put in a very noisy room over the entertainment area and pool. But the staff were very helpful we we were moved to another room on the other side of the hotel which was fine. Although beautifully clean and maintained, the rooms in the older block could do with updating. We had a musty smell in our room! The pool was great and again beautifully clean, there is a life guard on duty and was attentive in not allowing inflatables in the pool, but the children could bomb and chuck each other in, which sometimes was very dangerous. The restaurant was great with a good selection of food and very plentiful! There can be queing by the grill for the freshly cooked food, but it was lovely. You also have time your arrival to avoid the queue into the restaurant, which we always seemed to manage! The hotel is good location for aquapolis water park and Porta Aventura and the water park which are all excellent trips. We also went on two trips to Barcelona organised through Bus Plana (found on the main promenade). We went on the Barcelona panoramic and Nou camp/magic fountains trips. They were well organised and cheaper and easier than trying to do it independantly. We found there was a good mix of nationalities and the children made friends with other English children. The evening entertainment was a bit hit and mix, but the animation team worked really hard, were not in your faces and helped to make an excellent atmosphere. All in all we had an excellent break, enjoyed our food and was very happy and would go back again.

Have just returned from 2 weeks in Pineda. Hotel very clean and staff very helpful. Can't fault it at all for a cheap 2 week break. Unfortunately no kids club for british children only spanish, which spoilt it a little.

La Pineda, Best Hotel Sol D'or is excellent in every way! Try it for yourselves! The resort is probably the best in Spain! The hotel has lots of nationalities, the Spanish choose it for their vacations so it must be good! Food is varied and fresh, hotel is spotless, all inclusive option is faultless!

“Stayed in Hotel Sol Dor in May 2009 with my 8 year old...”

★★★★★

written by T Gilligan on 22/06/2009

Stayed in Hotel Sol Dor in May 2009 with my 8 year old daughter. Read some reviews before we went and admit some made me quite nervous, but it was brilliant. The Hotel location was perfect, a few minutes walk from a beautiful beach and the shops and restaurants. The Hotel wasnt overly fancy but catered perfectly for all our needs, the rooms were cleaned every day and any staff i met were very friendly and helpful. Our room wasnt over looking the pool and entertainment area which was great if we fancied an early night. Some guest staying in rooms overlooking that area found it quite noisy. There was a small kids club but my daughter didnt bother with it as we didnt spend much time in the Hotel during the day. She loved the pool which was spotless and never too busy and the Lifeguard was so friendly and had endless patience with the kids. The food in the restaurant was fine with a very good selection for all. For a change we went to the Dubliner Bar which was right beside the Hotel, lovely food and really friendly staff. We are going back to the Sol Dor next year.

“After reading other comments about this hotel we were...”

★★★★★

written by kbtracy on 19/08/2008

After reading other comments about this hotel we were not sure what to expect, driving through Salou and it was just like Blackpool on arrival to La Pineda what a difference, lovely clean safe beach perfect for younger children, hotel lovely and clean, rooms could do with update of deco but spacious. We went half board and the food is the same every night so we eat out some nights just for a change. The local buses run to Port Adventura which is a great day out and go in the evening for the firework display. Not much going on in the hotel at night for older children, but nightly discos for younger children. Pool also has a lifeguard on duty - dont buy lilos as these not allowed in the pool - we found out after we bought ours but take this to the beach to surf the waves. Beautiful weather and lovely harbour - would definately go back.

I would go back again in the morning. I travelled with a 3 year old. I had no problems, and I received great service and staff at Best Hotel Sol D'or were very friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and resort.

★★★★★

written by Patricia Flint on 25/08/2005

I would recommend Best Hotel Sol D'or to friends and family. Most people I spoke to liked the hotel. I'm on my own with teenage daughter and younger daughter and they love it, they got on well with the staff and who were also there last year 2004, we're hoping that it will be the same third year running in 2006. We booked half board last year and again this year, but upgraded to all inclusive this time and will be next year too. The resort is lovely not too noisy and we went to the theme park this year which is highly recommended. Water park in La Pineda is good and also the dolphin show. My opinion is anyone complaining and putting this hotel down is because they want to keep it for themselves and not let anyone new to try it. Like I said this is our third year.

“I stayed at the Best Hotel Sol D'or from 26 July to 09...”

★★★★☆

written by grant28 on 10/08/2004

I stayed at the Best Hotel Sol D'or from 26 July to 09 august 2004 with my wife and 7yr old son. I booked this trip independently and hired a car as they say they have a car park for guests, which is under the hotel, when I asked about using it I was told that it was full, however my room was above the entry/exit (which was locked shut) and in 2 weeks I didn't see one car go in or out. I had to drive round the block numerous times searching for a space, on one occasion the car got damaged on the street.

I am a big man and like my food, but after 4 days decided to give breakfast a miss, it was just gross. but on the other hand the evening meal was quite pleasant with lots of choice.

My other grumble is the cleaning of the very basic rooms (that I would rate as a 2* at most). The bedding wasn't changed in 2 weeks, windows of balcony doors haven't been cleaned in a long time and I ended up sweeping the floors myself as they didn't bother to do it.

Fairly good location near a nice beach and various shops good for young family or older couples, those looking for a lively resort would be better off at the nearby "Blackpool in the sun", sorry I mean Salou!!!

Most of the staff speak good English, with the exception of one of the bar girls, who just grunts at people even if they speak Spanish to her, but we just avoided her. The bar can get very busy in the evening as there isn't much to do in the area.

In the 2 weeks we were there the music didn't start before 3pm but did go on until midnight but at the end of the day you're on holiday and is midnight really that late!!! the man and woman who do the entertainment are very very good, they go out of there way to get the kids involved I can't praise them enough!!!

Pool area is very good although the pool is a little small, always a life guard on duty, and plenty of beds and chairs to go round.

As regards people being robbed from there room, get a safe, surely if you have valuables you would lock them away not leave them out to tempt people.

Worth a visit, universal mediterana and Costa caribe, don't bother with the water park in la Pinada, it was very poor compared to Costa caribe.

“We stayed at the Best Hotel Sol D'or for 7 nights in...”

★★☆☆☆

written by lissw on 07/07/2004

We stayed at the Best Hotel Sol D'or for 7 nights in June/July 2004 and on the first day our hotel room was robbed, leaving us without almost €500, mobile phones, wallets or duty-free cigarettes. The theft was immediately reported to the hotel reception where we were told to go to the police station- about 15 minutes away by taxi.
Our main concern (other than losing our belongings) was that because there was no evidence of the door to our room being forced in, the thief was someone who had access to a key. Outside our room was a CCTV camera so we were initially confident that the culprit would be caught and were told the next day that the police had collected the tape.
We were appalled and disgusted by the way the hotel management dealt with this incident and although we asked each day if there had been an update we heard nothing. Later during the week the manager implied that the robbery wasn't a big deal because we had insurance!
A family we spoke with during our stay had packets of cigarettes go missing from their room while they were out and another woman was missing an expensive ankle bracelet she was positive she'd left on a table!
We made it clear as we were checking out that we were not happy with the handling of it and the lack of communication, only to be told that the cleaning staff had been called to the office to be asked about the theft earlier in the week! Of course no one is going to stand up and say they did it!
Other less major grumbles we had were the loud music, which starts at 10.30am and goes until midnight every day! No chance of getting to sleep before then if planning an early night! Also the food was pretty average and got boring after seven days- breakfast was disgusting, but lunch and dinner were slightly better with a good selection of meats, fish, salads and vegetables, although too oily for the health-conscious.
Generally Hotel Sol d'Or was clean and the bar/terrace/pool area was pleasant. La Pineda was lovely and the beaches fantastic. We definitely would not return to this hotel and recommend other holiday- makers don't either!
