Waiting for your drinks to arrive as you laze on white sands, shaded by a coconut palm. Taking a dip in a lagoon pool among tropical plants and dining and drinking terraces. Stepping out on your balcony to soak in endless sea views before heading out for dinner. This may be the stuff of daydreams, but it’s the true island experience guests come to enjoy when staying at the adults-only Solana Beach. It does deliver a delicious cliché, but this hotel also comes with its own unique twists, like the nod to the sixties and seventies in your spacious guestroom, which is otherwise thoroughly modern. It also gives you the option to do absolutely nothing – or to pack your days with cycling, diving, snorkelling, and even complimentary glass-bottom boat trips, and your nights with island entertainment and meals in three delectable restaurants.

We went to Solana for our Honeymoon 2 weeks ago. what a lovely room and view! We were however very unhappy with their drinks. The cocktails are premixed and just poured into a plain small glass. No garnish. It’s dull and nealy damped out our whole honeymoon. I would suggest you take more time to make your guests feel like they are in paradise. It fealt more like a hostel. The Buffet everyday is mostly the same, although they give each night’s buffet another theme name. The starters and mains were good, but the dessert was not great at all. The little puddings are really tasteless, we however enjoyed the icecream. Please can you look into making the experience feel more dreamy than just feeling like, oh well they paid for all inclusive so what’s the point in making each drink look like they actually want to drink it. Here are some pictures of our drinks

Disappointed experience

This was once probably a good hotel
The sea views are amazing and the layout is good however the prices of everything are ridiculous
We went all inclusive so some drinks etc were included including what would have been £10 pints of lager
The buffet was so so and they were very slow to replenish things

We went all inclusive so some drinks etc were included including what would have been £10 pints of lager
The buffet was so so and they were very slow to replenish things
There is an a la carte restaurant which we used once our main course was served over an hour forty five minutes after we arrived and we were in there three hours in total
The staff are trained to sell up ie seafood nights or barbecues that cost around £60
We had a bad leak through the ceiling that we reported at 4-30 one evening when we went to bed that evening nothing had been done they put towels on the floor we were eventually moved at 3 o’clock the next day
It seems to specialise in cruise passengers and so usually busy
I would suggest trying elsewhere

Solana beach hotel

Had the best time at Solana Beach Hotel thanks to Yovana who made our stay here so comfortable and enjoyable. She was very attentive, hospitable and made our stay here such a lovely experience! Wouldn't have been the same without her bubbly personality here at the hotel.
Yovana is the best person in this hotel!
