Escape to Paradise: Club del Sol Aparthotel Awaits! – A Real, Honest Review (Plus, Can We Talk About My Sunburn?)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I'm about to give you the real deal on Club del Sol Aparthotel. Forget the airbrushed brochure, this is the stuff you actually need to know. I'm talking accessibility, those oh-so-important Wi-Fi details, the food (because let's be honest, that's crucial), and whether you'll survive the experience with your sanity… and maybe a decent tan. (Spoiler alert: I’m currently sporting a lobster-like shade of red. More on that later.)
First Things First: The Basics – Accessibility, and the Blessed Wi-Fi
Listen, I appreciate a hotel that gets accessibility. Club del Sol scores pretty well here. Wheelchair accessible is a big check, and I saw Elevators and Facilities for disabled guests clearly marked. Now, I wasn't personally using a wheelchair, but the layout looked thoughtfully considered. Access around the property felt pretty seamless. This is a big win for anyone needing that extra bit of help.
Internet access? Hallelujah! They shout it from the rooftops: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and, thankfully, it actually worked. No crawling at dial-up speeds. I’m talking streaming-the-entire-Marvel-Universe-while-sipping-a-cocktail speed. There was also Internet [LAN] for those old-schoolers (or people who, like me, sometimes distrust Wi-Fi and want a hardwire connection). Wi-Fi in public areas was also a good signal, so I could actually watch the news while I waited for my airport transfer. (See, even on holiday, I'm still a news junkie.)
Cleanliness and Safety – A Sigh of Relief
Okay, pandemic life. They clearly get it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer stations everywhere… it's reassuring. I honestly felt safe. They also had Staff trained in safety protocol and Rooms sanitized between stays. They actually had rooms sanitized between stays – that's a big tick in my book. Honestly, I appreciated the Safe dining setup and the fact the staff seemed genuinely committed to keeping things clean and safe. And the Hand sanitizer dispensers weren't just decorative; they were plentiful and easily accessible.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Great Buffet Debacle)
Right, let’s talk food. Because, let's face it, a bad meal can ruin an entire vacation. Club del Sol has a lot of options. They have Restaurants, a Poolside bar, and a Snack bar. There's a Coffee shop and Restaurants. I tried a few of the Restaurants, and the International cuisine was a definite highlight
The Breakfast [buffet] was… a mixed bag. Look, I'm a buffet enthusiast. I love the dizzying array of choices, the freedom to overeat in the name of "sampling." However, on day one, I made the mistake of going, early. And yeah, the Breakfast [buffet] was a bit… chaotic. It was like the Hunger Games, but with scrambled eggs and weak coffee. I'd probably have better luck trying the Breakfast in room or Breakfast takeaway service next time. Still, I have to give them props for the selection, they have an Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options.
I was SO relieved to see the Coffee/tea in restaurant and was able to grab a coffee and some cake at their Coffee shop.
(Side note: The coffee shop, as in, literally the reason I was so happy!)
Things to Do – From Chilling to… Well, More Chilling
Okay, let's be honest: Club del Sol is all about relaxation. They nailed it. I'm talking serious chill vibes.
- Swimming pool? Check. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Double-check. Including one with a Pool with view! (I spent approximately 75% of my time in that pool. No regrets).
- Massage? They have one! It was… divine. I literally melted into the massage table.
- They also have a Fitness center but I skipped that – I was on holiday.
- There's a Sauna, a Spa, and a Steamroom if you're into that sort of thing. (I am, but I was too busy napping in the sun.)
- Foot bath. Apparently it's a thing. I didn't try it. Maybe next time?
(Quirky observation: The sun loungers were comfy. Like, ridiculously comfy. I'm now considering buying one for my apartment.)
The Nitty-Gritty: Rooms, Services, and Those Little Things
My room? Decent. Nothing groundbreaking, but clean, comfortable, and crucially, the Air conditioning in public area worked. Air conditioning, Bathroom phone, Coffee/tea maker, and Free Wi-Fi AND Free Wi-Fi were all essentials. The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver. I’m a light sleeper, and those things were a godsend. No complaints about the Daily housekeeping, which I appreciated. They even had Slippers, which I thought was a nice touch. I’d take the Alarm clock over the Alarm clock anytime.
Services and Conveniences:
- Concierge? They had one. Helpful.
- Daily housekeeping? Yes. The room was always sparkling.
- Laundry service? Thank goodness. Because, again, I packed the wrong clothes.
- Cash withdrawal? Yup. Convenient.
- Safety deposit boxes? Yes, always a good idea.
For the Kids (and the Kid in Me):
They had Family/child friendly spaces, including a Babysitting service and Kids facilities. This might make this a great place for your family trip.
Getting Around:
They offer Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service, and Valet parking.
The Imperfections: (Because, You Know, Real Life)
Okay, nobody's perfect. The Room service [24-hour] was a little slow one night, but hey, I was on island time. The Bar seemed to get a bit lively on the weekends. I'm guessing it's the Happy hour.
(Anecdote: One day, I accidentally ordered a cocktail that tasted suspiciously like sunscreen. I'm still not sure what went wrong.)
The Sunburn Incident (and My Advice):
Okay, full disclosure: I underestimated the sun. I'm currently resembling a cooked lobster. Apply sunscreen. Reapply. Seriously. Learn from my mistakes. I'd recommend the Umbrella as essential too.
The Verdict (and Why You Should Book It)
Look, Club del Sol isn't a five-star, over-the-top luxury palace. But it's a solid, reliable choice for a relaxing vacation. It’s clean, safe, and has everything you need to unwind. The accessibility is a massive plus, the Wi-Fi is fast, and the staff are friendly. Definitely worth it for a relaxing break!

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your sanitized, bullet-point travel brochure. We're diving headfirst into the glorious, messy, and often hilarious reality that is a trip to Club del Sol Aparthotel, Spain. Let's go!
Club del Sol Aparthotel: My Brain Dump Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread by the Pool (with Bonus Sunburn)
- 06:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Why am I awake? Oh right, the airport shuttle. The anticipation is killing me. Killing me with the fear of forgetting my passport. Did I pack enough socks? Should I have brought that poncho?
- 07:00 AM: Airport mayhem. Successfully navigated check-in, security (miraculously didn’t set off the metal detector), and the overpriced airport coffee. Feeling strangely victorious, as if I’d just won a small battle against the forces of… air travel.
- 10:00 AM: Plane is delayed. Panic sets in. This is it. I'm trapped in an aluminum tube with forced air and the guy next to me is definitely going to snore.
- 13:00 PM: Landing! Spain! The heat hits me like a warm, slightly sweaty hug. God, I'm already regretting the layers.
- 14:00 PM: Found the shuttle. The driver has a glorious handlebar mustache and a complete lack of English. Perfect.
- 15:00 PM: Arrived at Club del Sol. Okay, the lobby is… functional. The reception lady seems a little jaded. Fair enough, I'd be jaded too if I had to deal with tourists all day. The key is plastic and… okay, the room is better than I expected. (Don't expect luxury. Expect clean-ish. And air-conditioning. That's the dream).
- 16:00 PM: Unpacked (or rather, threw my clothes everywhere). Attempted a quick dip in the pool. Immediately got sunburned. Tried to look graceful and glamorous while applying the sunscreen (key word: tried). Ended up looking like a lobster. Great start.
- 18:00 PM: Exploring the surroundings. Found a "local" bar (aka, the one closest to the hotel). Ordered a beer. Or two. Needed to calm down. The existential dread by the pool was starting to creep back in. Am I truly happy? Am I just… here?
- 20:00 PM: Dinner: Paella. It was… paella. Adequate. The wine, however, was flowing. Possibly too much. Started talking to the waiter about the philosophical implications of tapas. He just smiled and nodded. Probably heard it all before.
- 22:00 PM: Failed attempt at a night cap. The alcohol had won. Lights out.
Day 2: Market Mayhem and Coastal Dreams… with a side of Meltdown
- 09:00 AM: Woke up. Headache of epic proportions. Regret. Coffee. Needed.
- 10:00 AM: Ventured into town. The local market! Oh my God, the colors! The smells! The sheer volume of… stuff. Tried to haggle with a vegetable vendor. Failed miserably. Bought way too many oranges.
- 11:30 AM: Coastal walk. Finally, some serenity. The Mediterranean sparkles like a million tiny diamonds. Okay, I'm starting to see the appeal of this whole vacation thing.
- 12:30 PM: Found a tiny beach. Decided I needed to be one with the sea. Got stung by something. Probably a jellyfish. Started to panic. Why did no one tell me about the jellyfish?! This trip is going to be a disaster.
- 13:00 PM: Meltdown. Sat on a rock contemplating everything. Considered going home. But I came here for relaxation. This is not relaxing.
- 14:00 PM: Found a beach bar. Ordered a massive plate of fried fish. Suddenly, jellyfish, sunburn, and existential dread seemed manageable.
- 16:00 PM: Tried learning a few Spanish phrases. Managed to successfully order “una cerveza”. That's all I need, right?
- 18:00 PM: Back at the hotel. The pool beckoned. Cautiously approached the water. No jellyfish sightings. Took the plunge. Fell in love with floating.
- 19:00 PM: Attempted a relaxing evening by the pool. Got cornered by a loud family with no concept of personal space. Wished them well. Found a quiet bench in the corner.
- 20:00 PM: Dinner. Actually, pretty good pasta. The wine was excellent. Perhaps recovery is possible.
Day 3: The Beach, the Bar, and a Deep Dive into… Churros
- 09:00 AM: Coffee. Needed. Slightly better mood.
- 10:00 AM: Beach day! Armed with a book, sunscreen, and a healthy dose of optimism. Determined to conquer the waves!
- 11:00 AM: Got into the water. Big mistake. Cold. Waves that decided to throw me around..
- 12:00 AM: Gave up on the beach. Went back to the bar, the bar is always a good idea.
- 13:00 PM: Walked around (wasn't feeling very hungry). Found something great!
- 14:00 PM: Snack! Churros with chocolate. It was the most glorious experience of my life. It was warm, soft, crunchy on the outside, and dipped into the warm chocolate. Heaven! I stood here for a moment to enjoy the moment.
- 15:00 PM Sat in a park contemplating whether to go to museum, I decided to do something more appropriate for the afternoon, a nap.
- 18:00 PM: Attempted another stroll. Found a little cafe. Wrote some postcards. Attempted to explain my trip. Ended up saying "This is my moment" and "I am in love".
- 20:00 PM: Dinner. Something local. Food was okay, wine was good. People watching was better.
- 22:00 PM: Back in the hotel. Packing. The trip's almost over. I can still see the sun, the beach, and the churros.
- 23:00 PM: Good night.
Day 4: Farewell, Spain (and a Promise to Buy More Churros)
- 07:00 AM: Awake. Still alive. Surprisingly, I think I'll miss Club Del Sol Aparthotel. In a weird, slightly-sunburned, definitely-churros-influenced way.
- 08:00 AM: Breakfast. Grabbed one last croissant. And a coffee. And an orange. Stocked up for the journey.
- 09:00 AM: Final walk around the hotel. Said goodbye to the pool, the lobby, and the "local" bar.
- 10:00 AM: Shuttle to the airport. Same driver, same handlebar mustache (which, I must admit, I've grown quite fond of).
- 12:00 PM: Airport chaos. Again. But this time, I had a certain swagger. I had survived. I had lived. I had seen the sun, and I had eaten the churros.
- 13:00 PM: Plane is delayed. Of course. But I'm okay with it. I have a whole new appreciation for the small things: sunscreen, a good book, and a plate of fried deliciousness.
- 15:00 PM: Departure time! Looking forward to the flight.
- 18:00 PM: Landing back home. Already planning my return to Spain. And the first thing I'm going to do? Buy a mountain of churros. The end!
