Albufeira Sol Hotel and Spa

TripAdvisor Review
Portugal, Europe
Albufeira

Surrounded by delightful gardens, this modern hotel is situated in a great setting, only a 10-minute walk from the beaches of Praia da Oura and Praia da Santa Eulália, two of the most beautiful beaches of the area. The famous Albufeira strip with its countless restaurants, bars, pubs, shops and nightclubs is only minutes away, the historic old town of Albufeira can be easily reached.

Clean Hotel

As titled this is a very clean hotel, However like all establishments there are good & bad points, so I'll list them.

BAD POINTS, Teabags are horrid bring your own. Very small Plastic cups for beer. Poor bacon & cuts of meat. Loungers not great & fixed sun parasols. Slow WiFi. Poor entertainment for adults. No TV in bedroom "studio rooms" lounge only.

GOOD POINTS, Salad selection very good. All inclusive "Superbock beer" good. Free transport to old town beach. Good location. Staff generally polite. Good aircon. Great entertainment for kids.

Excellent Hotel. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this hotel. Location was amazing. 5 min walk to the strip. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was excellent, good quality and a lot of variety. My only negatives would be that for an all inclusive hotel the bar closes too early, 11pm. Seeing that the World Cup games are so late they would switch the big screen off at 11pm even if the game was at half time. You should be able to extend hours for events like this

Amazing Staff, fantastic food,and a wonderful birthday surprise!

We had a wonderful stay at Albufeira hotel. The Staff are absolutely excellent-then incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always attractive to every detail. On top of that, the food was delicious.Every meal was a highlight of the trip. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. They even surprised me with a celebration for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch. Will definitely be back!

Very Disappointing Experience

I have stayed in many 4* hotels and this is hotel is certainly not 4* standard . There was a mandatory 150 euros (all be it refundable on departure) on top of the tourist tax requested by reception on arrival I can not understand why this 150 euros was necessary in a 4* hotel Rooms clean and tidy as you would expect from a hotel. On the downside you are asked to pay 3 euros a day if you want to use the safe no bottles water suplied in the fridge no bath robes or slippers . In the cocktail bar as they call it cocktails served in plastic cups poured out from a drinks dispenser and had no taste whatsoever. If you wanted a coffee they were served in paper cups you don't expect this in a 4hotel. The all inclusive drinks were local quality if you wanted better quality you had to pay for them. The dining room breakfast was the best meal of the day. Lunch and dinner other than salads the cooked food left a lot to be desired. The entertainment in the evening was the worst I have encountered in all my holidays abroad it was like sitting in an old folks home. Now for the pool side plenty sunbeds and shades or places to sit in the sunshine. On the downside music blaring most of the day on Sunday they just set the music going on a loop and left it going for best part of 6 hours and it was loud. Most of the staff friendly enough but some in the cocktail bar had no idea what they were doing. On the whole this was a very disappointing experience and Jet2 need to look at how they sell this hotel as 4 as it is bordering on false advertising .
