My stay was quite a mixed bag. The hotel offers great value for money with engaging entertainment staff and several fun family activities, but I had some issues regarding staff service and room cleanliness. The food variety also left something to be desired. Overall, it's nice for families looking for budget-friendly options, but customer service needs improvement.

The room was of good size, featuring a separate kitchen, large bathroom, and separate bedroom with a pull-out sofa bed for the kids. However, it was quite cold at night, and we were next to the road, which meant dealing with barking dogs.

The entertainment team was amazing, keeping everyone engaged and happy throughout the day and into the evening. However, the dining options weren't as varied as I hoped, and there were a few hiccups with the service during busy times. Overall, it's great for families looking for a fun holiday experience.

This hotel offers a stellar family-friendly environment with engaging entertainment and a large pool area. The staff is friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. However, the rooms could use some modernization and the dining options fell short in variety and taste. Despite these minor setbacks, the convenient shuttle service and cleanliness make it a solid choice for families looking for a value-packed holiday.

I had a fantastic week at the Albufeira Sol, enjoying the spacious rooms and great entertainment. The food was varied and tasty, but the cocktail quality could be improved as they were made from a machine. The location was perfect for a relaxing holiday, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by shops. Overall, a great experience but with a couple of areas needing attention.
