I have just returned from the Carvoeiro Sol, and I have read the latest review of the hotel.I do not agree with most of the reviewers comments of 13 Oct 2009. I traveled with my wife and two close friends. I agree that by UK standards it may not measure up to our standard of four star, but by comparing... more

This hotel is not a 4* it is barely a 2* the rooms leave a lot ot be desired!!! the service is poor, the breakfast I think you will have better in prison!! chewy and stale cereal, and dont bother with the hot breakfast, we went out for ours after suffering for the first few days, there is no where... more

We arrived at the hotel in Carvoeiro and were speedily checked in by a very friendly receptionist and directed to our room. The room was clean and pleasant but when we opened the curtains the french windows opened out directly onto the pool patio. Whilst this would suit some people we were a little concerned about our privacy. We spoke... more

We booked this hotel as a last min get away, were told it was a 4star and read the reviews which were a bit mixed. Dont believe all you read, our problems started as soon as got off the plane..... not on transfer list had towait an hour.... not off to a good start. Once we finally arrived at the... more

enjoyed our visit immensely. the staff were very freindly and helpful. breakfast was splendid. lovely room had 2 balconies. wish we had eaten dinner there but so much choice in village. more

Carvoeiro is a lovely, peaceful town, with a wide variety of bars and restaurants, and great views from both clifftops which surround the sheltered beach. My wife thought we were going to the Tivoli, just along the coast, which goes to show that men should not be allowed to perform simple tasks like booking the right hotel. We arrived at... more
