Nice hotel
Nice hotel, january not the time to go to Portugal but found this hotel comfortable, about a 15 minute walk from old town, shopping centre near bye which does food and a mcdonalds not too far away. Old town was mainly closed, there were 350000 there new year apparently.

The rooms feel outdated. This must have been a great hotel years ago but it is an OK property today.
I don’t think think it is worth the price paid.

The staff are super friendly and worked very hard to make it a great stay for their guest. We stayed in off season but I recommend this hotel for a great sleep very close to a grocery store. Indoor pool was about 27.5 degree which was cool when you first get in but you can stay in for a couple hours.

Walkable to old town, really clean hotel and friendly staff.
The beds were really comfy and we slept well every night.
The little kitchen is fine for small snacks. We didn't use it except the fridge for drinks which was handy to have. The Wi-Fi was free and really good.
The pool bar was expensive for beers although we did use it for convenience but after a day or so we decided to go to the supermarket across the road for drinks and snacks and we noticed a lot of people doing the same.
It was our 10 year anniversary and reception bought us a bottle of champagne to our room which was very well received.
The hotel has a spa with very reasonable prices, it also offers excursions bookable at reception. It offers a shuttle into town every hour free of charge which we didn't find out until our last day and 2 taxis a day later..
Room service is available at a small charge too.
You can also borrow a iron from reception and the safe is charged per day and has a 10 euro deposit required.
The hair dryers in the room are really good!
Tip - make sure you use the card on your door for cleaning required or DND as we had a maid walk in on us twice we had forgotten to use it! 😆

Hotel location is excellent
When we arrived the gentleman who checked us in was very polite and professional.
The room was lovely and clean.
However the only thing that lets the hotel down a little is the blonde haired lady on reception she’s not very pleasant to deal with she’s abrupt, rolls her eyes and most defiantly doesn’t make u feel like she is willing to help. But all other staff seemed to go over and beyond to help. So maybe she could brush up on her customer care a little. I noticed she was abrupt to other guests as well. Would go back but just hope we don’t have to deal with that lady.

Nice hotel but wifi is a problem
Wifi is not included and buying hotspot cards for very poor wifi is something that can be fixed very easily. Except for this one issue, a nice hotel, clean and great location .

Fab hotel , lovely pool close to everywhere
I really enjoyed my stay here for the past week, the pool was lovely and the rooms were so clean and great air conditioning in the hotel.
It is about a 15 minute walk to old town, we did this walk every evening and it was fine, hotel is located next door to a shopping centre also

Solaqua Apartments
Excellent hotel great facilities (snack bar, outdoor and indoor pool) and location, just a 10 minute walk to the old town beach and square. Rooms clean and spacious, great pool side view from balcony. Staff always helpful and polite. My fifth visit to Albufeira but my first stay in Solaqua but hopefully not my last. One of the best hotels of the 5 I have stayed in in Albufeira

Apartments were spotless throughout, rooms cleaned every single day and fresh towels provided. The pool bar was nice with resonabley priced food and drinks. could do with some more parasols around the pool. We enjoyed our stay and would give the staff top marks however would not return due to very poor soundproofing of the apartments we could hear every single sound from apartment above us which disturbed many a nights sleep.

Nice hotel close to supermarket & old town.
Ideal holiday location & can't fault the hotel amenities, staff & cleanliness. However, the mattress for the single bed a little worn & needed replacing & size of bed small. Main bedroom perfect.
