Albufeira Sol Hotel Apartamento & Spa

Would never stay here again. The atmosphere wasn’t great and there were a lot of things that went wrong during a 5 day stay?! I was expecting more from this hotel. They ask you for a €100 deposit and they never gave our deposit back as we paid by card they said it would be refunded but it wasn’t. I found a fly in my food on the first night (photo included), it crawled out of my olives, definitely not the start I was hoping for. After a long journey it was really disappointing. A few days later we also spotted a cockroach near the food and drinks area. This made us feel uneasy about the overall cleanliness and it put me off eating at the hotel for most of the stay. In general, the experience wasn’t great — the staff weren’t particularly friendly, and although the bar staff were polite, some of their comments came off as inappropriate at times. The pool area was always overcrowded, and we could never find a free sunbed. On top of that, our bed sheets had a musty smell, which added to the feeling that things weren’t being properly maintained. Overall, the stay didn’t live up to our expectations, and we wouldn’t return.

Overall good hotel. The room could do with an upgrade but was nice, clean and spacious in the suite. Outdoor and indoor pools (great as there were rain showers) were good. The animators were fantastic, friendly and active and the kids enjoyed their activities. Hotel shuttle bus to beach and town was great. Food and drinks was good; especially if staying with kids. Desserts could be better as it was mostly differnt flavour mousse. We visited in Apr2025, so it was not too busy and we were well attended to. Would choose this hotel again.

Very pleasant stay. Spacious twin room, with a balcony and kitchenette. Lovely spa area with steam, sauna and relaxation room. Unfortunately the jacuzzi wasn't hot enough even after asking staff to check. Large pool area, both indoor and outdoor. Hotel had a lovely smell and was well maintained and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Buffet style food, plenty of options and other places to eat locally. Close to Maria Luisa beach and the strip- if you're into partying! Only gripe was that we had several issues with the key cards not being programmed for the accurate amount of days. Overall very good, would stay again. Great value for money.

Hotel has many pluses but also many negatives. The common areas are great, food was excellent, service good. The bad is the fact that they allow smoking around the pool and other common areas. Rooms are badly dated and in need of refurbishing. They charge extra to use the safe in the room. The TV's are 20 yrs. old and smaller than a computer monitor. We spent two weeks here and although we enjoyed our stay, I would not go back here.

Lovely clean hotel. Staff pleasant, food lovely, would be nice if they had more gluten free choices. Arrived late morning but had to wait until 4pm for room. Entertainment team was brilliant. Jonathan, Jonny, Vinny, Brenda, Joanna and the rest were brilliant especially doing Mama Mia
