SOLYMAR Gran Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a beachfront 4-star with a spa and a highly rated team, and plan to spend time by the sea rather than hiking. If you are on a tight budget, the Budget pick scores almost as well for well under half the price.

This is our Best Value pick in Calpe. It suits couples and beach lovers who want to walk straight onto the promenade and use a spa and gym between swims. Its breakfast list is broad: continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and buffet are all listed, which helps if you have dietary needs.
Skip it if you want a quiet sunbed by the pool in busy periods, as guests say the pool area gets crowded. Walkers who plan to visit the Penyal d'Ifac every day may also prefer to stay nearer the port.
Location and getting around
The address is Benidorm, 3, in Calpe City Centre. The location score is 9.7 out of 10. Beachfront is among the listed facilities, and guests describe a beachfront position near shops and restaurants with direct access to the promenade.
Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park is about 2.5 km away, roughly 31 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. That is far for a casual stroll, so a taxi or public transport is the easier option, or plan it as a proper walk.
Parking is not listed among the facilities. If you arrive by car, ask the hotel about options and cost.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 1,503 reviews, joint third among the 7 hotels we compared. Staff come out well: guests describe the team as friendly, helpful and attentive, with a warm welcome. The location gets equal praise for its beachfront spot and easy access to the promenade, shops and restaurants.
The complaint is the pool. Guests like the infinity design with sea views, but say it is often crowded and there are not enough sunbeds. In November that may matter less, but it is not confirmed.
Price compared with our Budget and Luxury picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €194.98 per night, about €390 in total. The sample median was €129.11, so this is well above average for Calpe. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Porto Calpe, our Budget pick, was €73.80 per night with a score of 9.0 and 3 stars. ESTIMAR Calpe Suitopia, our Luxury pick, was €204.10 with a score of 9.3 and 4 stars. SOLYMAR costs almost as much as the Luxury pick, so the label needs explaining. You pay for a beachfront position, a spa, gym, pool, restaurant and terrace. If those matter little to you, Porto Calpe is the better deal.
Why it made our top 3
Our Best Value choice balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not necessarily the cheapest hotel. Out of 7 eligible hotels in Calpe, SOLYMAR combined a 9.2 score with over 1,500 reviews and a confirmed beachfront listing, which few rivals matched.
