Lovely hotel, nice big rooms comfortable beds and great staff Carlos and Sarah 😊 Did not like that you have to pay to use a safe in the room,it’s a 4 star hotel in my opinion using safe should be free of charge. We have stayed 2 weeks, same breakfast every day 🙁

Hotel warty polecenia. Fantastic Hotel👍👍👍
Hotel położony w dobrej lokalizacji. W niedalekiej odległości od hotelu znajdują się cztery bardzo ładne plaże. Hotel udostępnia darmowy bus na trasie Hotel-Miasto-Plaża👍. Do starego miasta w Albuferii jest 4km warto je odwiedzić - znajduje się na wzgórzu przy piękniej plaży. W mieście dużo lokali gastronomicznych, dyskoteki, puby... Warto wybrać się do Zoomarine w Algarve i Sand City, przejazd taksówką dla 6 osób na trasie Albuferia Sol Hotel&Spa - Zoomarine 22,50€, Zoomarine - Sand City 22€ i Sand City - Albufeira Sol Hotel&Spa 45€. Jak ktoś chce można poszukać transportu komunikacją miejską. Hotel czysty. Miła atmosfera. Bardzo pomocna obsługa w recepcji, restauracji i w barach. Opcja all inclusive zdecydowanie wystarczająca : pyszne jedzenie - każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Do dyspozycji gości jest jeden duży basen oraz mały kryty basen & jacuzzi,SPA dostępne za dodatkowymi opłatami. Pokoj przestronny z balkonem 👍 wyposażony w lodówkę, dwupalnikową płytę do gotowania, kuchenkę mikrofalową, czajnik oraz garnki etc... Są dwa wyjścia na balkon z pokoju i z salonu. W pokoju znajduje się jedno duże łóżko(można rozłączyć na dwa pojedyncze) a w salonie dwie rozkładane sofy(duża i mała) - jak dla nas 3 osoby +dzieco 8 lat wystarczająco i wygodnie. W łazience są zel do kąpieli i szampon... Transport z i na lotnisko w Faro od 40-48€ w zależności od ilości osób. HOTEL ZDECYDOWANIE WARTY POLECENIA ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

The facility had leaking A/C in the hallway the entire time we stayed - 2 separate locations in 30 yards and their solution was to place a small towel on the spot -- eventually the towel was saturated and water was everywhere. Food was mediocre at best -- Golden Coral is two steps above their buffet. The support staff clearly is used to complaining guests - because the front desk talked to me about several other complaining guests. Overall, I would qualify this location as a Pig with Lipstick. Beautiful building from 50 yards.

I cannot fault the hotel. We stayed from 03/05/19 to 06/05/19. For the price we paid I couldn't have asked for more. The pool was clean and the food and drink was of a high standard. If the opportunity presents itself I would return here with my family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back. When we arrived we were first put into a room that was a bit noisy as there was a motor outside, however the following day when speaking to the assistant manager we were promptly moved to another room with a pool view and was fantastic. The staff were all really friendly, the food was great and entertainment good also. Overall highly recommended!

Let us Down
The hotel is listed as 4 stars, but I will only give 3 stars. The room was larger than we thought. The staff could have been more friendlier. We went from England to Portugal to have Portuguese food, but we had breakfast on 4 days at the hotel and the only option was English Breakfast. Why we go to Portugal to have only English Breakfast as a option???? For Lunch and Dinner had a little variety, but all the food tasted the same. I end up eating only fruits on the last day because I was so fed up. The pool is smaller for the number of rooms. The entertainment team done a great job to keep everyone happy and they are the only ones had happy faces. 5 stars for them. They were in from early morning till late night and they have done a fantastic job. Other staff in the hotel rarely had happy faces and it clearly shown they were not happy with their jobs.

This hotel was in a perfect location - about 5 minute walk to the strip and 15 minute walk to the beach. The hotel staff were lovely. Room was cleaned everyday - we stayed in a suite for 3 people and it was a very good size and it looked exactly like the photos on the website. The food at the hotel was amazing - lots of selection and there were different choices every day. The mojitos in the all inclusive drinks were our favourite. Great hotel and would definitely recommend.

My daughter had come to the hotel last year and recommended it to us and we wasn't disappointed the food was great, my grandson loved the pool although it was a bit cold, the weather was extremely hot but was made enjoyable by the breeze, my only moan was the reception staff were not very helpful and could be rude, the rest of the staff ie the entertainment team and the restaurant staff were brilliant

Beautiful hotel, clean, great location & foos
Went with 2 friends (25-32yrs old). Wonderful hotel, can walk to the strip or beach or shops but when you are at the hotel its lovely and peaceful. Food was always fresh, varied with plenty of choice. The staff ALWAYS make sure they go above and beyond. The entertainment team were great - friendly but not in your face. Was lovely to see their interaction with the children especially those with disabilities - they were so caring. Would 100% go back here with friends again or family.

Great family holiday
Family of 4 with 17 and 11 year old. Room was very good with separate bedroom living area and kitchen all modern the only area that needs a bit of upgrading is the bathroom it's a bit tired looking and I really dislike shower curtains. Food was good a bit repetitive but always something to eat kids section could have been better. Bar area was not big enough to accommodate the very busy hotel so we often found ourselves sitting outside at night. evening entertainment was terrible we struggled to find a night we enjoyed. Pool was good always found somewhere to sit we had bad weather so it was great to have the indoor pool and jacuzzi. Animation staff were really good at there jobs and always so friendly. Most staff members were very nice and friendly.

Amazing! Would definitely stay again!
Amazing time at Albufeira Sol Hotel and Spa from start to finish! Stayed for a week with partner and wish we could have stayed longer! Arrived around 4pm in the afternoon and were immediately seen by reception staff who gave us our keys and our all inclusive bands. Room was lovely very clean and had a kettle, fridge and microwave also had a balcony which overlooked the pool and could sea the sea in the distance. Was surprised at how much choice there was for food and drink. Choice of wine, beer, sangria and spirits, also coffee, tea, hot chocolate and soft drinks which were available from the indoor bar and the poolside snack bar which also served sandwiches, burgers and ice cream. The food in the all inclusive buffet was outstanding! For breakfast there was choice of cereal, fruit, cooked breakfast, croissants, meat, cheese etc. with hot drinks and juice available. Lunch included plenty of choice, different salad choices, meats, potatoes and rice, with a variety of deserts. The evening meals were also lovely with plenty of choice for everyone, one evening there was even a Portuguese theme with traditional foods and dancers for entertainment! Entertainment in the day around the pool included many different activities for adults and children water polo was good fun! The entertainment team were very friendly! The evening entertainment was also varied, Parrot show, singers, karaoke. All inclusive finished at 11 but there is a bar next to hotel with karaoke and good atmosphere!

Algarve short break.
No problems to report at all. This trip went as planned. The hotel was great as was our room. Meals were very good always with plenty of choice and the bar had loads to chose from. Location was also pretty good as we could easily walk to the strip and back on a night. The old town is a bit further but easy to get to via taxi. I would have no problem booking this trip again.

Very disappointing Hotel
This hotel was described on the website as a recommended hotel. Its has got be said that this was a shocking overstatement and should not achieve a two star rating certainly not four!! Clever photography. None of the staff looked like they even enjoyed working there let alone staying there. The gym was charging 10 euro's per day, Ive never stayed in a hotel, especially an all inclusive where the cost of amenities is so high (If at all). The hotel was very dated, as was some of the entertainment (elvis nights and bingo).
