Sol Príncipe

Stayed for 13 nights in June. Check-in was easy (waited 2-3 mins) but it does get busy when large parties arrive. Reception staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Rooms (Sol room with side seaview) are basic and tired but cleaned well every day. We had a double bed so not as big as we had expected. Often get a 6 foot bed (or 2 single 3 foot beds) in Spanish hotels. Our room overlooked the children's play area which was ok during the day but not so at good night with kids playing football and screaming until 11:30pm, every night. The food was fresh every day and had something for everyone. Eat on the terrace if you prefer a more peaceful dining experience. I would give the restaurant and facilities 4* but the rooms 3*. Location is great, with pedestrian gate at the front with great access to the promenade, beach and sea. In summary, choose this hotel if you travel with children but if you're looking for a more peaceful holiday, then go elsewhere.

Great spot for family vacation, many pools, many things to do for kids, buffet style restaurant, a few steps away from beach and dozens of restaurants and bars. Very lively atmosphere. Staff is just great from the front desk to the housekeeping. Interior and external bars, animation at night. All you need to be happy, you have everything you need if you want to do a family resort hotel experience and a lot to chose from if you wish to visit around.

We had the best 7nights holiday with our 3 year old. The hotel was fantastic, the staff were friendly, the kids club team were great. The food was amazing and the location of the hotel was just amazing! The whole feel is quite chilled and drinks included were nice. The room was a little snug but very clean and had everything you need. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Check in was fine, quite quick. Was surprised to have to leave credit or debit card details when checking in. When I asked what it was for I got told "incase" I asked what that meant, and got told "anything, incase". Strange! Food nice, could always find something to eat to our taste, although it was never very warm. The restaurant gets very busy. Pools were lovely but again very very busy. Never any sunbeds, even early morning. (although no one is supposed to reserve the beds until 9am) Entertainment good. The outside Entertainment area is very poorly lit, in the evening it's hard to see where you're walking to the toilets, bar, etc especially when the Entertainment screen goes off. There's palm trees planted in between the seating area with raised boarders around them. On the last night of our holiday my sister tripped over one of the raised boarders. She cut her leg badly. We asked for medical staff, first aid kit. They had nothing! No help at all! Security said they would get a wheelchair to get her to the room (which we later found out they didn't have any). If it hadn't have been for a lovely Irish family coming to our aid we would have been stuck. (Can't thank them enough). In summary - Hotel very clean. Rooms nice. Staff friendly. Not enough sunbeds. Restaurant very busy. Outdoor area poorly lit, dangerous.

21/06/2024 Review Just getting ready to leave our Holidays with 5 of us from Sol Principe, we had 2 rooms a double and triple, would of preferred 1 room but my children are over the age of 12 so not classed as kids for the family rooms, which is fine we got over that, so here is my true honest review, We had the best time ever, Hotel is spotless clean every inch of it, Pool areas are beautiful friendly and clean, There is a 2 kids pools and splash pool which are all covered with a sun shade amazing for families with young children, 2 big lakepools that are not very deep so also very save throughout. Then out the back of the hotel on the beach side is another pool which we call the quiet pool nice peaceful and calm out there, They also have a chair lift for people in wheelchairs to get in and out of the pool, Sunbed situation is completely fine there is plenty of beds for everybody, Yes people que at 9 o clock for beds but also people come down at 10 11 oclock still plenty of beds stacked, Also alot of thr morning people are gone by lunchtime so people wanted to sleep in and come down later there is always plenty. The rooms are fine basic but have everything you need. House cleaning staff come in Everyday to clean. Kids club is brilliant the staff are amazing and they take the kids in a shaded cool area for hour to hour and half every morning and another in the evening. Entertainment at night is very good they have a big stage with plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to sit at and no matter where you sit you can see the show, There is also a fine size arcade which is very affordable all games €1 not like other arcades being at €2, they also have laser tag in the arcade, Every staff member from house cleaning to reception are so lovely kind and friendly. We went all inclusive which works out brilliant especially when you have kids nearly everything was coveres which the expection of high premium drinks, Food from 7am to 10pm at night couldnt ask for more... The selection of food there is something for everyone including fussy eaters, There is also a kids corner with sweets slushies, chocolate fountain and make your own cones. Yes people have complained about uncooked food but these chefs are cooking for 1000s of people everyday and i can say we had no uncooked food. Location is great its not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle but out the beachside door and 10mins to your right you are in the thick of thing. Or you can get a taxi to San Miguel street €6.50 your in the heart of 100s of traditional shops,bars and restaurants. Also we got a taxi to Plaza Mayor what can i say is WOW it is absolutely huge outdoor but shaded shopping centre ive never seen anything so big. My only complaint is the windows and doors of rooms are paper thin,so me being a super light sleeper it took a few days to get used to the sounds and noise but few days in once i was tried enough i sleep perfectly especially with the beds being the comfiest i have e
