Sol Pinet Playa Hotel

Excellent value for money, room a good size for me and my wife, maid service very good cleaned every day, hotel public areas also very clean, food good although no english breakfast. View from balcony was brilliant, straight across the bay to San Antonio. Right on the beach,ferries across to San Antonio every 30 minutes outside the hotel for 3 euros return. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Stayed during the volcanic ash crisis, they didn't hike their prices and were very very helpful. Plenty of bars near to hotel. Got a good nights sleep every night. Only downsides are in the summer possibly pool area maybe crowded and walls between rooms thin. I would definately recommend this hotel especially considering we paid just £38 per night half board for a double room.

Sol Pinet Playa was a wonderful place to stay. It is about a 20 minute walk to the main party part of San Antonio. This meant that the noise level was fairly low and there were more Spanish speaking people to practice my spanish on!! The hotel has a great pool and its own beach, so you can sunbathe in peace. All the staff were extremely helpful.
San Antonio is not a place to bring the kids ordinarily, but this part of the town was perfect. The little restaurants around the hotel were all reasonably priced, as were the shops.
The taxi from the airport is quite expensive (20-30 euros) so if you can organise a bus then it saves a lot of money.
If you don't want to walk the 20 minutes to the main clubbing area, then as a cheaper alternative, there are water taxis only costing a couple of euros.
I would recommend it if you don't mind a touristy, tacky holiday.

Having been moved here from Es Cana due to overbooking we were not very happy, and then to find that most of guests were Spanish served only to fill us with dread. However hotel was first class, rooms were clean and tidy. Situated right on the beach plenty of room around pool. Entertainments staff during day and night were simply the best and as one of very few Brits staying here made us feel very welcome, worked really hard to ensure everyone was catered for. Bar / restaurant staff were very pleasant, cheerful and helpful.
Food was varied and something for all tastes even if a bit slanted towards a continental style.
Would definitely visit again but would probably book direct next time. At the end of 2 weeks realised we had not seen a Tour rep and it didn't bother us at all.
