Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park

Huge hotel. Can’t imagine in peak season that said our kids have grown up. Lots here for kids. Bit out of the way. Need a car! Maria Jose in bar was delightful. Friendly and bubbly. Give this woman a raise in salary! 10/10 at her job . Every hotel needs her! Food good. Staff good some not so much. Hotel clean and cleaning staff so good!

A nice hotel but wouldn't come back for a number of reasons.... Half board - food is nice can't complain however, the waitresses are so extremely rude. It depends which one you get whether you get charged for your water (so be prepared to pay £7 for two small bottles of water with your meals eveytimeyou eat. The half board does NOT include water it seems. Pool Bar prices - around £7 per spirit drink and €2.70 for a can of coke so not cheap. You won't want to have a pool day paying that everytime you want an alcoholic drink, plus there's this coin system and if you forget or lose your coins, it's game over for a drink because they will refuse to serve you! The hotel itself is nice and very clean. There's nothing at all around it though so be prepared for the extortionate local taxi prices (already €4.50 added to the meter before you even tell the driver where you are going). We've been averaging £50 to £60 a day on taxis and thats just to Puerto Banus (each taxi will charge you a completely different fair). Maids are brilliant and very friendly and do change your towels daily. There's no kettle in your room but you do get a small fridge. The hotel shop is expensive for water etc but there's an Aldi a walk up back to the main motorway and a handful of restaurants. A nice hotel but I wouldn't come back due to its location. We also paid for a sea view room which was pointless as you can't see anything lol. The local beach is full of stones so you can't get into the sea. Pic of 'sea view' provided.

We booked a 10 night all inclusive holiday at this resort costing over £6k for the whole family from end of July to first week of August 2024. We really needed this holiday as our daughter had finished her GCSEs, we lost my father and both work very stressful jobs, myself within the NHS, so felt we deserved something really special. However, this holiday I feel should have cost more like £100 for the whole holiday if not lower. We booked via easy jet website 2 double room, expecting two double beds in a room. Nope, to my horror it was two separate rooms so my family holiday ended up with my children being split with one of us parents in with them. Our daughter whom a has Autism, was very distressed about this and then when told our rooms were separate double rooms not two doubles in the one room, I was absolutely mortified. We had paid for a balcony / terrace and ended up over looking the area where they have the deliveries and rubbish. Not a lovely view of anything. You could see the sea, just if you leant over the balcony careful not to fall over the top and the smell of warm rotting bags in the evening was disgusting, you couldn’t have the door open. There was a permanent bright light on going into the yard below, which lit our room at night and the continuous noise from the units which I think is probably for the whole hotel was unbearable. I literally slept 2 hours on the day we arrived and cried as I just wanted to go home. I have never had a view like that or been mislead with the rooms before when I’ve booked a family holiday. As the holiday went on it was more and more disappointing. We complained 3 times about the air con not working in one of the rooms and each time told the engineer is going to look at it now. Never did. Then told its the whole hotel air con that’s gone down and is being sorted, yet we’d complained about this from day 1 of our holiday. On one eve we had to try and sleep in heat of 30.5 which as you can imagine not being able to open the door due to the smell and noise of the staff and deliveries was ridiculous. The room next door to us seemed to be the cleaners room where all the trollies etc were kept too so clearly our two rooms were the worst rooms of the entire row and to be perfectly honest, should NOT be booked for paying customers! We slept a max of 4 hours a night every night, as we’d have the staff wheeling the trollies with barrels, rubbish etc from 11 till 12. Then from 4 am every morning pretty much every hour after there were rubbish collections and deliveries. The staff would be talking so loud and smoking it was disgusting and very inconsiderate to the customers having to sleep directly over them.this area should have a permanent roof structure to dull the noise and smell not a few sail like pieces draped particially across. The bathroom door handle was falling off and again never fixed so had to be careful not to close the door for fear of being trapped. Beds were typical cheap mattresses, so hard and

The only good thing about this resort is the day time entertainment! Lots going on for children and adults Other than that it's not the best! Rooms smell and mini fridges empty Staff are quite rude especially pool staff and restaurant evening staff Food ok nothing great Evening entertainment was very boring Nothing great for kids or adults in honesty Beach is not great but useable Splash pool is fine and was empty most the time Huge foot ball pitch next to it for kids was used in day time for children playing football All inclusive does not include ice creams and certain drinks or snacks, it also finishes at 10 for food no local shops to get snacks from nearest shop is roughly 10 min walk which does sell everything you need Found reception staff unhelpful and not pleasant Grounds were clean Drinks were awful they had a nasty taste to every cocktail we tried I would only go back here if the price was much cheaper as it's really not worth a 4 * price

Hotel is located in quite place .15 minutes walk to bus stops to Marbella or Estepona (bus 79 for about 2.5 euro one way).Buses are going about every 40 minutes or more(sometimes is better to take Uber).hotel has nice sea view.hotel is clean.Food is good .Hotel beach is nasty and not really suitable for swimming.Main swimming pool was closed because out of season. Entertainment was minimum but very good Halloween show and general Halloween decorations.Good for small kids /toddlers.Mainly Spanish tourists or French.

Rooms were clean modern and refurbished. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, especially the front desk staff who helped myself in my group out with a couple of situations, which were not of their doing , with great thanks from the entire group
