Just spent a week at the albufeira sol over-all it was pretty good. The room was huge ( studio ) and had great aircon two actually but they do take half the balcony up and blow hot air on you if you sit out . The food was a little bit limited compared to most all inclusives but was very nice. Location was very close to the main strip and the hotel does have quite a lot of youths staying but it never got to rowdy to be fair .Free shuttle bus to the old town which is handy , We did have ants in the room which although we did report to reception day one they were there for the week around the bed . Drinks are served in flimsy plastic or paper cups at all times ( beers cocktails and coffee ) if you want to sit outside and unless you ask you will get it indoors too . You can get a meal in the speciality restaurant which was nice but for some reason you have to pay for your drinks in there even though its all inclusive makes no sense .
Just these little things let it down it would be nice to sit out in the evening without the nasty plastic cups or in the morning with a brew .
Rooms are a nice size although seem rather dated but are very clean. Aircon could be a bit hit and miss, bedroom one could only be turned on manually as the remote didn’t seem to turn it on / off but the living room one was fine.
When first arriving there were puddles of water on the floor which seemed to be from a leak in the ceiling however this was cleared by the morning. Reception staff not particularly friendly, wasn’t sure we’d arrived at the correct hotel at first as they didn’t even look up when we first approached.
Food for all inclusive is okay, good choice throughout the stay however some of the male staff are very rude. Sergio (one of the staff in the dining room) noticed we were sat at a larger table rather than a table for 2 so instead of asking us to relocate he dragged the table while I was still sat at it saying loudly this is a table for more people. He couldn’t even wait for me to get up and stop eating. Just seemed unnecessary.
Drinks package for the all inclusive isn’t great, cocktails are far too sweet.
The pool area although clean is very cramped and has huge umbrellas for everyone to share so if you want to sunbathe you don’t have a choice if the brolly happens to be in the way as it can’t be moved. Not enough sun beds for the amount of people and people were going down super early to claim a sunbed and then disappeared for most of the day.
Location although states 10mins walk to the beach is more of a 15-20min walk.
Overall would not stay again.
Absolute Perfection - Highly Recommend!
I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights, and it was hands down the best hotel experience I've ever had. My package included breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all drinks at the bar, and I was blown away by the quality of the food everything was delicious.
The hotel was incredibly clean and well maintained. What impressed me most was the staff. Despite the high number of guests, the service was seamless and efficient. Every single staff member was exceptionally kind, especially the bartenders who always had a smile on their faces despite being so busy. I was so impressed by the management that I even wondered who the owner was. If you're looking for a flawless stay, this is the place!
Hotel is lovely. About an hour from the airport. Staff are friendly and helpful. We are in a 1 bedroom apartment/junior suite. Rooms are bit dated but tidy and in good repair. WiFi, kitchenette, bathroom all functional. Bed was comfortable.
All inclusive restaurant has excellent food, good selection available dinner doesn't open until 7pm but snacks available through out day. Pool was warm, small park for the kids along with a kids club.
Definitely worth a visit and would stay again. A little ways from the beach but they have shuttle available daily to and from. But that seems to be the only downside. Plenty of loungers available on our visit but maybe a little limited in peak season.
My girlfriend and I stayed at Albufeira Sol Hotel and Spa, and we had a great time. We are both in our twenties, and the hotel had a really relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout our stay.
The animation team were friendly and made the experience fun, but one of the biggest highlights was definitely the homemade pancakes and crêpes. They were absolutely amazing, and the lady who made them was fantastic.
The all-you-can-eat food was perfect for us, the drinks were decent, and overall the hotel had great vibes. The location was also excellent, making it easy to enjoy the local area.
I would definitely recommend Albufeira Sol Hotel and Spa for young couples looking for a fun, relaxed holiday in a great location.
