What we didn't like is the condition of the rooms, very dated and old, the tv was 20 inches (laughable), they allow smoking in all the common areas (terrible). Although the hotel has it's pluses I would not return here nor reccommend this hotel.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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).

A good 3 star

The reception staff are very helpful and got our holiday off to a good start. The rooms are basic and our room on the 3rd floor was in need of renovation. Each floor is serviced by a very slow, very small lift a hefty walk away from our room, not good with a baby and buggy. The food was very basic with little variety. On several occasions we decided to eat out rather than stay and eat the buffet. The small bar was always busy, understaffed and had a limited amount of choice. the staff worked hard through the hotel but we felt they had limited resources to work with. Not an unpleasant stay but not what I would consider a 4*. Taxis into the old town I would recommend, €5 each way.

Excellent holiday

We booked our holiday just days before departure and had a fabulous time. Expedia as always a very efficient and easy to use site. Flights and airport meet and greet parking very smooth, slight hiccup with the prebooked taxi transfer as no one waiting with a named card as was on our paperwork - helpful man from another company pointed us to a desk where the lady informed us just one passenger was booked for the transfer but didn't grumble or try and charge more when I showed her it was for the three of us. Pleasant driver and nice roomy vehicle for our journey. Hotel lovely appearance, polite friendly check in and we were able to go straight to our room. Brilliant room, pool and sea view on the 5th (top) floor 520. Well furnished and recently decorated room. Paid extra for use of the in room safe. Suite had a lovely fitted kitchen which was pointless as an all inclusive hotel, nice to have a fridge though. Comfortable bed, TV has some English channels. Nice balcony and air conditioning if you need it. Pool I imagine is great in summer season when sun has warmed up a bit, large pool ranging from 1.2m - 3.3m so would of been a bonus to have been heated. Indoor pool accessible from terrace and is heated which is nice. Massage in the spa (paid extra for) was worth it. All inclusive drinks excellent, no complaints with beer, wine or soft drinks, good measure of rum too. Food, breakfast excellent, lunch and dinner - very good, choice can be a bit repetitive but all in all tasty
