Sol Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park

Nice and fun

Everything was amazing aside from the terrible smell in the room

Large room, good location for the purpose of trip

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.
