I recently stayed at Sol Guadalmar, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I had high expectations based on the photos and reviews on Booking.com, but the reality did not match up. It is NOT 4 stars.
The only highlights of the stay were the breakfast and the amazing view, but beyond that, there was little to appreciate. The staff was kind too and parking was not expensive.
My problem was the room, it was dusty and had a strong musty odor, making it feel unclean and poorly maintained. The mattresses were terribly old, uncomfortable, and had an unpleasant smell, which caused us back pain throughout our stay. Additionally, the curtains were broken, and the AC was outdated and extremely loud, making it difficult to sleep.
I was particularly disappointed because I did not expect this from the Meliá Hotels chain. I had just come from a trip where I stayed in other 4-star hotels, and all of them were far better in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and service. The experience at Sol Guadalmar did not live up to the standard I associate with a reputable hotel chain like Meliá.
For the price, I expected cleaner rooms, better beds, but it was far from that. It was definitely not worth the money, and I would not stay here again. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing or comfortable experience unless you're only here for the view and closeness to the airport.

We stayed here a few weeks ago and although it is a beautiful location on the beach everything else was definitely not 4 stars. We booked a sea view room and they put us in a connecting room for some reason, they were not busy so not sure why they put us in there. We scanned the room quickly, the view was beautiful but the room was outdated, musty and the beds felt old and lumpy. We were so tired from travelling and just wanted to relax for a bit so we just dropped our bags and went to the beach to chill for awhile. When we returned we noticed some things were different. We realized the connector door only had a chain lock on it and if someone else was to open it from the other side they could literally stick their arm through it and look at you -it was such a huge gap. No other way to lock it either. We felt as though someone might have been in there. This was creepy, made us feel extremely uncomfortable and freaked out. We actually didn’t even stay that night, we went with our gut feeling and left. Most definitely won’t be back to this place.

Very nice hotel. Excellent facilities and really nice staff. A room with sea view is highly recommended, and make sure to wake up early enough to see the sun rise from thd sea
In the neighbourhood make sure you go to the local grocery stores and the Italian restaurant with tables outside

Update: Yes, you took my laundry and re-washed it in the same commercial detergent and the laundry came back smelling horrible for the second time. Everyone I came in contact with could smell my undergarments through my clothing. This is after you agreed to simply rinse.
Original Post: The mattresses feel like a one star motel. I promise you will not be able to sleep on the pillows that they provide. I gave them my laundry and it came back wreaking of detergent.
I rinsed my laundered clothes in the sink to remove the strong detergent smell and observed a large amount of chalky soap coming off of my just-laundered clothing. I brought the bag of wet clothes back down to the front desk and ask them to rinse my clothes properly. They did not rinse my clothes because when they brought them back up, they smelled just the same.
The hotel is located on the beach so that was good. However, it is not located near anything else so if you need to go anywhere other than down the street to the café, you are getting an Uber or a taxi, every time.
The breakfast is serviceable, but the dinner buffet is bad. I do not recommend staying at this hotel. I own a business so I am very careful about giving low reviews, but I have been here for one week and this was not a good experience.

We had a great stay at Sol Guadalmar Hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a modern, spotless bathroom. The hotel’s facilities were excellent, and the location right by the sea offered stunning views from our spacious balcony. The restaurant served delicious food. However, the beds made a squeaky noise, which was a bit distracting. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’d consider coming back!
Not so many restaurants around the hotel though, you need to go to the city center for that
