My husband and I visited the Sol Costa Atlantis Hotel for a week in April 2024. We were very much looking forward to our stay at this particular hotel as having viewed it online, we thought it looked rather nice. Our arrival at the hotel was quite late due to having experienced a flight delay therefore, we were feeling quite tired, however, we found that the reception staff were not very welcoming or friendly, they just went through the process of getting us checked in, there was no ‘Welcome to our hotel, have you stayed with us before’, nothing of that nature, no welcome drink was offered. Once checked in, we went to our room which considering it was a 4* hotel, we were surprised at how basic the room was. We unpacked and tried to open the Safe to store our valuables. We were unable to open it so being tired, we decided to deal with everything the following morning. We were booked on a half board basis so, we got up the next morning to go for breakfast and both said how incredibly warm the room was and, because of the room temperature neither of us had slept well. We checked the air conditioning but were unable to deal with whatever the issue was. We then went for breakfast which, unfortunately, wasn’t great. We absolutely appreciate that with buffet food, due to it sitting, it can get cold quickly but, having said that, there were a lot of people staying at the hotel if the dining room was anything to go by which meant that the turnover of food from the buffet was quick so, I wouldn’t have expected the food to be as as cold as it was. Also, the toasters which were in the dining room, there just wasn’t enough of them and then, to make matters worse, when you put a slice of bread through the toaster you had to repeat the process 2 to 3 times as the bread wasn’t toasting!! Then we had the coffee machines of which you had to queue for a considerable length of time to get a coffee as again, for the amount of people, there weren’t enough coffee machines. After breakfast we went to reception to report the air conditioning issue. The chap with whom we spoke said he would get a maintenance person to fix whatever the issue was. We informed him we were out for the day so the technician could go into our room at any stage. We also asked about the Safe in our room to which the chap on reception advised that we would have to pay to use the safe. I was appalled to hear this saying to him ‘That’s daft, surely if there’s a safe in the room, it forms part of the room, it’s a bit like saying, there’s a wardrobe but you can’t hang your clothes in it until you pay to use it’. My view is if you’ve paid for a room, then you should have access to everything in that room especially the safe as it doesn’t cost the hotel any extra to allow guests access to the safe in their room!! After our day out, we came back to our room only to find that the air conditioning hadn’t been fixed much to our disappoin**ent and to make matters worse, when we reported it

Having stayed here several times before, we came back for Christmas. The staff could not faulted and the room was great. Clean, comfortable, and generally relatively quiet at night, apart from two noisy families, in rooms either side of us for our two final nights. We regretted not bringing earplugs, being kept awake by their loud conversations until well past midnight. The food was not as good as we had remembered it. We found out this time there was almost zero choice of hot food for vegetarians. So we lived mainly on salads throughout our stay. Some hot vegetable dishes like chickpeas actually contain meat. There were no signs as to exactly what was suitable for vegans/vegetarians, so we had to take potluck. We then made the mistake of booking one all-inclusive a la carte meal and found that most of that particular menu was not suitable for people who do not eat fish or meat. The goats cheese starter was delicious, but fatty and very rich. The main course choice was limited to pizza or pasta. Unfortunately, one of us was ill with vomiting within a few hours after that particular meal. We were told there was a nasty virus circulating, and that would have been responsible. A number of days later, the other person suffered several days of projectile vomiting and diarrhoea, apparently again due to the virus circulating within the hotel. Neither of us could eat much for about a week, so we lived on vegetable broth. It was not a great experience, considering we had paid for all-inclusive! We missed several meals because we were feeling so poorly and did not want to infect other guests and staff. Generally speaking, we tried to avoid the huge queues outside the restaurant at breakfast time and again during the evening. The final straw was having booked a specific timed sitting for Christmas dinner and queueing for half an hour outside the restaurant, only to be told it was full and that we had to return later. The choice of food on that day was particularly disappointing. We ended up having to make do the only vegetarian option of couscous with pumpkin in blue cheese sauce, which wasn't that great for a Christmas Day gala dinner. As we had to go in so late, most of the other options had already disappeared, hence our limited choice of just these two items.

Very successful stay at the hotel. Rooms very comfortable Service at the highest level Breakfast the best we have eaten so far in hotels, everything fresh, very good quality and beautifully served. Lunch in the hotel restaurant also good. Spa beautiful, massage good - although it lasted shorter than the purchased package, hairdresser also good. Subtracts a star for the bill at the end. I wasn't going to check, but I was thrown by an extra massage service in the spa that I didn't have. I do not know if it was done on purpose to pay more, but in a hotel like this it should not happen, especially since the signed bills did not include such a massage. Additional time unnecessarily spent at the reception. Distaste remains.

Would not recommend to anyone, on the second day after arriving back from the hotel pool we were shocked to realise that the cleaner had taken all our money it had been taken out of my zipped jumper pocket hung up in the wardrobe completely out of sight the hotel were useless in helping us stating that there was nothing they could do unless they had 3-5 reports in a short space of time, the manager said that we were robbed however the balcony door was locked and the catch on making it impossible to get in also the hotel manager stated that “it was probably the cleaner” stay well away

Highly recommend, this hotel is very clean.. breakfast was included and the pool ontop of the roof was pretty small but I used the public pool, the reception staff helped me whenever and gave me directions and information, it's very central and I would stay again. I have no complaints what so ever... only thing I can suggest is having air con which the fan wasn't the best but still didn't effect my stay. Very lovely hotel with lovely friendly staff. Went solo and room was really small but I didn't mind

This is a really good hotel. The breakfast is fantastic, and we took evening meals as well, when we realised what a bargain they were. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is a short walk from the town, an easy flat-ish walk, and near to a lot of interesting places. A lot of Germans choose to stay in this hotel for the winter months, which we saw as a good sign - they expect a lot from holidays. We found them very pleasant and friendly.

I stayed in this hotel for 10 days in mid September with my siblings, my parents, my partner and my toddler. Upon arriving late in the evening we were very grateful to see how spacious, clean and comfortable the rooms are. We slept really well. The one thing to note is that all the beds are singles pushed together which can be an issue if you like to cuddle with your partner to sleep as the beds kept moving apart, but they were very comfortable and we slept well. The rooms are all air conditioned which is very welcome on stickier days. We stayed in a room with a sea view and it was really wonderful to wake up to the view every morning. In the evening there is live music at the bars outside which can be a little loud - if you like to sleep early I recommend ear plugs - however all the music stops by 11pm and we enjoyed many an evening sitting on the balcony and enjoying the music below. I think it's worth noting that if you do have any issues the hotel is very quick to respond. On our first night we noted that the lock on the door did not work, and the seal on the door of the shower was missing. Within half an hour the hotel maintenance had come up to the room to rectify the issues, and they did so quickly. The hotel has WiFi which can be a little patchy at certain times of the day when it is lost used but is otherwise reliable. There is a TV in the rooms with a good selection of channels - I will note that the English channels didn't work and did need reprogramming but it wasn't an issue as as we didn't have time to watch TV anyway! There is a mini fridge in each room which is very handy. There is a charge of €2 a day for personal use which really isn't bad at all. The selection of food available at the hotel is really wonderful. Every night there is a different theme. My favourites were Spanish and canarian nights. But there is so much on offer you should find something for even the pickiest of eaters. Every member of staff working in the restaurant was so friendly and lovely. As there were 7 of us travelling together they reserved a table for us each morning and evening so that we didn't have trouble to eat together. I will however note that one particular member of staff didn't appear to want to accommodate this - a woman with dark hair, glasses and waistcoat and green tie (different levels of staff wore slightly different uniform) for some reason whenever this particular lady was on staff she would remove our reservation. Initially we thought this was a mistake but it happened like clockwork on her shifts and never happened when she wasn't in. I'm not sure why she took issue with our group. She was also quite rude to me one day when I was trying to go to our usual table (which had been dressed for breakfast already) to retrieve the high chair for my son. I tried to explain to her several times I was just going to get the chair but she didn't seem to understand and was insisting on directing me to another area of the restaurant. The re
