Albufeira Sol Hotel & Spa

À primeira vista, melhor do que esperava, no entanto, com o decorrer da estadia encontramos pontos negativos: o tempo de espera na recepção é de loucos, parece um serviço público português. Não é admissível que com tantos hóspedes haja apenas uma pessoa a atender de cada vez... O jacuzzi do hotel, que está incluído no preço, tem a água gelada e so fumcionam 2 saídas de ar. Logo, é quase impossível la estar. Bonito mas sem utilidade... No SPA que é pago, há tb aspetos a melhorar por isso mesmo, porque ao ser pago e dentro de um 4 estrelas, não pode ter portas a arrastar pelo chão, por exemplo, como tem no wc das mulheres. Tb existem portas de segurança que não abrem nas barras o que é muito estranho e mais estranho ainda é não haver equipamento de segurança na cozinha como extintor ou manta uma vez que tem fogão. No entanto, a remodelação foi bem conseguida e espero que estes aspectos sejam rapidamente melhorados porque queria regressar ao hotel.

Booked via Love Holiday for 6 of us, we stayed in 2 self catering apartments for 4 nights. Overall an okay hotel, staff were nice and attentive, well located with Aldi only a 10min walk away and lots of amenities on site. I would say the apartments were fit for purpose but not overwhelmingly nice, just okay. Towels replaced daily and apartments cleaned. They do take a €100 deposit per room payable by card or cash. Also be aware spa is NOT INCLUDED and needs to be booked on the day for €7.50 which was a real shame as we thought this came with the hotel. Breakfast buffet was €10 and was okay, again not the best but did the job. The indoor pool was good and heated and we spent every day using this pool. Lots of space to sit and relax around the hotel which we utilised. Also note that the free shuttle service to the old town only runs in summer but they can order taxis for you instead which we did. I would say overall it does the job but if I were to visit Portugal again I would not book this hotel personally

We stayed with our 2 girls aged 5 and 9years for 5 nights from 5th of May, our room was spacious and spotless. Each day we had no problem getting sun loungers and the pool was were our girls spent most of their days. The food was good, lots of variety, lovely fresh rolls and salads each day. I didn't find it hard to feed the kids. The entertainment team were great all day, engaged with everyone and actively tried to get people involved. My girls were particularly taken with Joana and Pedro they both had a great way with the kids and gave alot of energy to their job, especially when dancing 😁😁There were activities through the day, like water polo, darts, tennis for both adults and children, a kids club, mini disco in the evening and shows at night. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely visit again.

Hotel was very clean, food was amazing something different every night. Drinks all inclusive were good . Can't fault anything, hotel room was wonderful and cleaned every day. Suite with pool view was fantastic. Definitely returning next year.

I cannot fault this hotel at all. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left it was perfect. The staff were so helpful and friendly and would do anything for you. The cleanliness was immaculate it was as if they were cleaning 24/7. We went AI and the room was perfect plenty of room with also the ability to cook your own. Was an amazing suprise to see 2 complimentary bottles of prosecco on arrival a nice touch! The food was really nice with plenty of options for everyone. There wasn't one thing on the menu that me it my husband didn't like it was all yummy!! I would definitely return with no hesitation.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our holiday with this hotel. There were daily activities that staff set up, so we were never bored. We thought the food and drinks selection was really nice as well as the staff that served us. The entertainment staff were amazing, interacted with both children and adults with activities. The cleanliness of the room was good thanks to the daily service of maids who came in everyday. Will definitely be back to this hotel.

Been to worse all inclusive, but definitely been to better. Our room got no sun all day,balcony very narrow, just enough room for small table and 2 chairs. Electrical socket by bed was hanging off the headboard. Maid service changed towels and maid bed,but do not sweep or mop the floors daily. Avoid the al la carte restaurant, it looks like an old shed, couldn't even find the door to get in, its just a black panelled wooden sliding door,doesn't even say way in, we walked around the building 3 times trying to find how to get in, eventually the waiter saw us and opened the door for us. Now the waiter was the only reason we left a tip,he was fun and tried to make the evening for us, but the chef, omg can't cook at all. Soup was luke warm, our bbq chicken tasted like it had been incinerated, very dry,overcooked,on a bed of overcooked soggy veg,we never bothered with dessert, we just wanted to get out . I can see why most nights they had one maybe three tables at most with customers, and they want you to sit in the window seats to make it look busy from the outside. Would not return to this hotel, not 5 star as advertised .

Went for Easter at the end of March. Arrived around 11am room typically not ready until 4 but they made sure our room was ready earlier. The room was large and spacious although I believe we were the first to use it as it was a bit stale at first. We had an issue with the window that was mentioned at reception and fixed that day. All the staff made a fuss of our daughter even though she got embarrassed by it. Food was great, always something to eat. Yes they reuse food but I’d rather that than waste it. Bus down to town was brilliant but doesn’t run on Fridays but the train is only a street away. Indoor pool was great on a rainy day. Would definitely come back. No issues.

I was so excited to be back to Albufeira, only to visit Albufeira Sol for the second time. But it wasn’t as expected. Reception got some improvements since my last stay in 2019, and it looks nice and fresh. I can say that the food is a little better than last time, but that’s all. Everything else got a downgrade. There was this lady in the reception, who was really rude to me and my fiancé, called Sollage. The staff is not cherish as it used to be. And we’ve noticed that the biggest difference comes from the animation team. Leo was very sweet, but in general, the entertainment wasn’t good as it used to be. After 2 nights we’ve decided to spend our nights out, cause there’s no entertainment for adults or any kind of shows, only kids discos. Not a holiday that we want to repeat.
