We have stayed in hotel at the beginning of March 2010. Unfortunately the weather was not great as mostly was raining. However the town itself was great to explore, as Albufeira in March is much quieter place than in season. The hotel was incredible value for money, as we paid only £18 per room per night (inc. Breakfast). Other good... more

We had a week in February at this hotel. It was like walking into a 1980s film set! There were various certificates on the walls of the awards it had won, but nothing in the last decade. It was all a little tired and dated. The positive thing the hotel has is its location, with stunning sea views from the... more

This is a clean comfortable hotel, based on fishermans beach smack bang in the centre of albufeira. The view from the balconies is breathtaking, wonderful views of one of the best beaches anywhere! The food here is dreadful but can be forgiven for the location and forementioned views. Be sure to take plenty of euros as u will need them... more

I think that anyone who says that this Hotel is poor needs to spend five times as much in a four star in London to get some perspective (tiny room /no view). The location is priceless - I will not forget that view in a hurry. The rooms might need an update, it might look a bit 1970's but it's... more

The hotel is built into the cliff and all the rooms have a great sea view. You can go to sleep to the sound of the waves and this is the best thing about the hotel. Apparently it was the very first hotel to be built here in the old town and I don't think they would be allowed to... more

Close to bus station. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They also speak English. The other vacationers were elderly but still had a great time. The room was huge for Europe standards - not very modern but clean. Great view of the beach. Good breakfast in the morning. The lobby is on the top level with the rooms below... more

Most fellow holiday makers we met have returned to the Sol e Mar year after year and we know why, you are made... more
