Hotel Sol e Mar - Adults Only

Do not eat the dinner buffet! Horrible dry chicken. The rice was dry and crunchy. The shrimp tasted like it was bad. I didn’t eat it after the first bite. Such a rip off! Hoping breakfast is better.

We have just returned from a 9 night stay at the Hotel Sol e Mar on a half board basis and we found our stay so relaxing due to the atmosphere, location and the super friendly helpful staff. On arrival we were met and checked in by one of the very helpful and friendly Reception staff. All the bedrooms have a fantastic sea view which is beautiful and spotless clean and are freshened with clean towels every day and bed sheets changed every couple of days. The breakfast and dinner are excellent with a very large selection of food to suit every taste. The Rainbow Bar is open every evening with music and a Dance Show on Sunday evenings. There is a fabulous balcony and view of the beach off the bar. There is a lovely relaxing atmosphere in the bar in the evenings after dinner and the bar staff are so friendly and welcoming. We have been staying at Hotel Sol e Mar twice every year for many years now and we can’t wait to return again in October

Overall: highly recommended this hotel if you like nature and wonderful sea views 🥳

Loved the location and the ocean view of the hotel. Breakfast and dinner were good but not great. In addition, we were able to walk 10 minutes to the Flixbus to go back to Lisbon.

From checking in to checking out the traveller experience was great. Very friendly staff greeted us. Our room (410) was very comfortable and had a great sea view. The food was very good - apart possibly from the Christmas Gala dinner which was served over 2 hours and not really my taste. Breakfasts cannot be faulted - plenty of choice of food - as were the 2 other dinners we had.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at the Hotel Sol e Mar and couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. The sea - veiw room was stunning the staff were warm and welcoming. With the location - right on the beach and close to the old town - was unbeatable. Everything was spotless, relaxing, and beautifully presented. A truly memorable place to celebrate such a memorable milestone . I did order a bottle of bubble and chocolates before arriving but sadly they got lost in translation. Highly recommend this adult only hotel

Excellent hotel. Staff are very friendly and breakfast is fantastic. Great choice. Lovely bright rooms and cleaned every day. Great location and all rooms with sea view. Second time staying and would definitely return

Good hotel with great view. Very good food great atmosphere and very good and pleasant service and live music every evening.

First class location with beach frontage. Access to local restaurants was five minutes at most. Staff very professional and attentive. Room with balcony of high standard. We had our evening meals in town but breakfast in the hotel was a treat. We were well served in the evenings when we used the hotel bar.

We're so happy we've stayed in this hote.All the rooms overlook the beach.It's located within the Old City of Albugeria so it's very convenient if you're looking for things to buy & where to eat.The room is spacious,clean & cozy.Having a beach within your sight and within your reach is relaxing & refreshing.The breakfast is so good.So many choices for breakfast plus you get to see the beach while eating.The staff are nice,good & friendly.I will stay in this hotel again if I ever go back.

Just come back from this lovely hotel set right on the beach, the views are amazing. The rooms are lovely with a really nice balcony, lovely bathroom with large hot shower, fridge a large TV, the restaurant was really nice and we thought the food was really nice something different every night which we really enjoyed, the bar area had a pianist on in the evening which was nice and chilled, and the staff throughout the hotel were always friendly and helpfu
Great location for restaurants and bars too!!

Just got back from a long weekend at the hotel.
From arrival onwards it was excellent, it is situated right on the beach, incredible views from the room, all of which have balconies and face the sea.
The rooms are very modern and well presented, the large smart tv had so many channels,the hotel is upside down in that the reception the breakfast and evening meals were in the restaurant on the 5th floor with the rooms on the floors below.
Lunch is at the restaurant on the ground floor.
The food was lovely, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Excellent location, very nice rooms, good breakfast. The hotel has amazing location with almost privare beach and still walkable from down town. Excellent stay in the city.

perfect location.
lovely updated rooms
food excellent
bar prices have increased since we went last sadly
reception little man with bold head very rude on arrival with little help or explanation
enjoyed the show in Sunday with the dancers and was super great to see a completely different show to when we were there last
organ man was good but just got boring seeing the same guy all week apart from dancing girls
highly recommend the hotel and location
im coming back for a solo break in December over Christmas.

Wow what a lovely stay we had here!
The hotel is amazing! Each room has a sea view a balcony with furniture.
The rooms are really spacious and spotlessly clean. On arrival you are checked in and shown around.
The bar/ lounge area are lovely with a lovely balcony area to see the sunset from. The buffet breakfast was amazing. The cocktails are something else thank you Luis! There a lift down to the beach which is so convenient.
The thing I loved most about the hotel was the staff!! Everyone was so lovely but especially the lady who cleaned our room. I am not sure of her name but she is a tiny little thing who as always smiling I know her days off are 29th and 30th October as I mentioned my last day and she wished my a safe journey home.
I can’t recommend this place enough it’s amazing!!

Great location, chilled atmosphere, room was comfortable with great shower. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Stayed on 1st floor. Breath taking view of the beach and see. The sound of the ocean was wonderful. Breakfast was pretty good with lots of choices, evening meal terrible. Hot choices were cold and inedible. We ate out and the ground floor restaurant was great.Small but perfectly adequate pool. We were the only people in there on the 2 occasions we used it. Entertainment was poor but plenty going on in the town. Friendly staff. Sun beds very pricey €20 per day. We had a 4 night stay 16th to 20th October and had a wonderful time. Despite the negatives we would stay here again but not half board.

The view is spectacular, you're right on the beach. Staff attentive and friendly. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean. Buffet breakfast is good, I liked the fresh fruit ,my husband liked everything else. Easy access to beach, restaurants and shopping. Top floor bar is great, friendly bar tender, piano player/singer was great and great drinks. Gellato was amazing at beach level. Had lunch at beach bar, food was good and plentaful. Bed and linens are great, has good air conditioning. Modern shower, spacious room with safe, hangers and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. No body lotion, but not a issue. Great place to stay
