Bedømmelse af Cordial Mogan Solaz

Exceeded expectations

We stayed for two very enjoyable weeks in June in a one-bedroom superior apartment and also made use of facilities in the adjoining Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel. Overall we were very happy with the Solaz and would happily return in the future. We booked directly with the hotel after joining "Club Cordial" and received the discount (6 nights for the price of 7). We were also able to pick the exact room we wanted on a map!! Why don't more hotels do this? The Cordial Mogan Solaz is made up of three small blocks of apartments attached to the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel. Each block has 5-10 apartments, with one block on the grounds of the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel and the other two blocks just across a very quiet street next door (literally seconds from the hotel grounds). As far as we could tell, the standard (not superior) one-bed apartments are in an older block a few doors up the street and we did not see what these were like. Check in was at the Cordial Mogan Playa hotel reception. We received a very friendly welcome and a complementary drink. We had to pay a little extra for use of the safe (about €40 for two weeks which, as others have said, was a little much). After checking in, you can either walk through the hotel to the apartments or, if you have a car, drive around the hotel (and the whole town!!) to the apartments. Free, secure underground parking is available under the apartments and we found this very convenient. We stayed in a one-bedroom Superior apartment in a small block just across the side street from the back of the hotel. This is a small block of modern (ca. 2019) one- and two-bed superior apartments, each with a large sun terrace with private jacuzzi. The garage is in the basement and there is a lift to each floor. The private sun terrace for the one-bedroom superior apartments is on the roof of the one-bed superior apartments, which also have a large balcony off the living room and bedroom. The roof terrace with private jacuzzi can only be accessed by a private narrow spiral staircase, which may cause accessibility issues for some. Our apartment was exceptionally clean and serviced every day, if required. The communal areas were also kept really clean. The apartment was modern, bright and very comfortable – perfect for a two-week stay for a couple. There was also a sofa bed in the living area. Overall it lived up to the impression from the hotel website and virtual tour. The kitchen had a hob, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave large fridge-freezer and several ways to make coffee and tea. (No oven but this was not a problem for us.) Overall, it was very well equipped for a holiday where you might mix eating in and eating out. We had breakfast most mornings in the hotel (with family who were staying in the Cordial Mogan Playa). Breakfast was not too busy (low season in June) and overall good with plenty of options. There are two large pools in the Cordial Modal Playa, which residents of the Mogan Solaz can use. We felt the pool nearest the Mogan Solaz apartments was the most comfortable, with more space around loungers and a more open air vibe. The larger pool bar/restaurant at the other pool near reception was better for lunch. Both pools had a gentle slope which might be important for guests with mobility issues. We found the hotel staff really friendly and welcoming, with very few exceptions. The Cordial Moral Playa grounds are very pleasant to spend time in, with lots of seating and quiet, shady areas, for example around the small chapel. Other reviews have mentioned cockroaches. Yes, we came across two cockroaches in our apartment. They were fast, we were faster. Get over it! There were plenty of cats around but they didn't both us (even though we are really dog people!). Finally, it was low season in June when we were there so the town was unexpectedly quiet and many of the apartments were vacant. Playa/Puerto de Mogan might not be for you if you are looking for nightlife and late nights out. But if you want nice meals and maybe a drink or two afterwards, you will be pleased. Would return to the Cordial Mogan Solaz without hesitation.

Home from home

Large balcony and great location with excellent appliances. Facilities of the resort were excellent. The breakfast which was included was exceptional. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Underground parking included and lift as well. Outside shower to clean off before jumping in your own jacuzzi!

Lovely stay (some let downs)

Stayed for 7 nights in solaz room 205. Our 3rd visit to the hotel and second stay in solaz. We are a family of 5. The good points:- Underground car park, and lift to floors. Rooms were clean and water/ OJ there when we arrived. There is a coffee machine which is restocked . Kitchen area with dishwasher, fridge freezer . Plus Washer and drier and friendly daily maid service. The apartment was adequately sized for us, but I think the outside space was bigger than inside! Close walk to supermarket and short 5/7 min walk to the front. Ideally located. We had a absolutely vast terrace space I think being on the end of the row we had extra room which was lovely. The negatives:- 1. Two out of 5 of us had cold showers each evening…. Just not enough hot water 🤷‍♀️ 2. Stray cats left us a gift 💩 (sometimes 2) EVERY night on the terrace. There were in fact two greeting us on arrival! . We have a dog at home but hadn’t factored on ‘picking up’ on holiday 🤦‍♀️. Maids didn’t go outside so we just had to get on with it (despite reporting to the hotel). It took the luxury/ edge off the holiday stay. 3. Cockroaches 🪳 . We had a problem with these pesky things and again on arrival found one scuttling about the kitchen 😱. Seemed to be living under the cupboards. I reported this to the hotel the next morning (we arrived late) but nothing was done and I had to report it again the following day! The hotel did respond and sent workers out to spray the room down and remove the dead ones. We were offered to change room but I had unpacked so didn’t really want to move. By way of apology We were sent a gift voucher to use at the spa (but couldn’t take advantage as had no one to look after the kids ) , plus a bottle of fizz and fruit basket/ soft drinks. Again, the delay in hotel dealing with it and the fact it had happened took the edge off a little. Especially since one of the kids was sleeping not too far away. 4. Ants On day 5 we noticed a highway running from the patio right through the apartment along the walls round doors to the bathroom area. Reported this and was dealt with swiftly. Overall these were nuisance points and a little more care / attention could eliminate them. despite this we had a lovely stay. I would still come back (am sure we will ) as we love the hotel grounds/ puerto de mogan.

Frustrated

We are staying here atm, can’t fault the Solaz appt, hotel is very well keep, Blue Restaurant for breakfast is lovely, food good, staff very good. Main Restaurant need big changes, there is not enough staff doing the table’s service. To many staff not doing anything, waiting way to long just to order a drink with your meal….. It’s just a little frustrating

Mogan Solaz modern apartments

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was clean and modern. We loved the fact we were located in the beautiful grounds of the Mogan Playa Hotel. The swimming pools were lovely and warm. The hotel reception gave us a very welcoming greeting but when we checked out we were not asked if we had enjoyed our stay. I had assumed we would have been asked to complete a guest satisfaction form of some kind. I really enjoyed the whole ambience of the apartments and the hotel but I found breakfast to be very frustrating. The food was quite good but the plates were cold. You sometimes could not find a set table or get anyone to bring you coffee. The restaurant staff were run off their feet and I observed for most of the week the managers just stood and greeted the guests. That's great if they have enough people but they don't. They should have been helping the waiting staff, which they did on two days towards the end of our stay.I found myself irritated and annoyed ,frequently eating most of my hot breakfast (on a cold plate) by the time the coffee arrived. It must be soul destroying for the waiting staff as it is not their fault that guests like me becoming irritated. Breakfast was include and we didn't have the choice not to pay it. We really liked the Mogan Solaz and the hotel but they need more staff in the breakfast restaurant. Ian & Elaine Thompson
