Reviews for Hotel Praia Sol
Review 1:When walking around Vilamoura mariner at night all of the "touts" trying to get you to go to "their" restaurant
Review 2:The weather, so warm and the walks and beaches. Local transport was good and inexpensive,as well as food and drink
Review 3:The hotel is in a good location, only a 10 minute walk to the marina, it is clean, the staff are friendly, they serve a standard breakfast, but something for everyone, the hotel has a good swimming pool, a simple bar, 24 hour reception, value for money.
Review 4:Breakfast not up to general hotel standards. Very bad cafe! Mediocre bread /pastry selection. Staff slow on cleaning the tables. Bathroom- poor lighting.
Review 5:Nice spacious room, full of light. Balcony to relax.
Review 6:Clean. It is in Quartera but only 10 minutes walk to Villamoura marina when you use the back gate. Just check the times that you can use the gate. Only 5 euros in a taxi anyway
Review 7:Air conditioning In bedrooms very poor breakfast a joke
Review 8:The rooms are spacious and clean . The location is a little dodgy as in graffiti everywhere . The entrance to the hotel from the back door has a very unreliable buzzer . The front entrance the the hotel is a bit of a trex from the marina and althought through a residential area the lighting is not great .
Review 9:No wifi available in room, was told we could pay for it but it doesn't work well anyway. Bed really basic and hard, lumpy pillows. Dust under bed and behind doors. No room safe.
Review 10:Quiet outlook, not too busy and free wifi available in reception
Review 11:Drunk Aged Brits at bar... Too far away from centre...
Review 12:Staff (lovely woman with daughter on night shift couldn't be more helpful) was the only plus
Review 13:The staff were the most welcoming, helpful and thoughtful we have ever encountered in any hotel. Three comfortable chairs in the room is unusual and much appreciated. We only stayed one night but would definitely return, a very pleasant experience.
Review 14:Would have liked Wifi to be available in bedrooms. Would have liked Tea to be available in bedrooms.
Review 15:The friendliness of the staff. The bar area was very comfortable and welcoming. Quietness of location.
Review 16:In particular breakfast in the morning was very bad...There was moldy bread offered ... on the machine instead of juice there was tap water coming down .The room are not clean every day( not on saturday and not on wednsday) and this is not somethingh expected for a 3 star hotel
Review 17:Staff was kind. In particular the girl at the reception.
Review 18:Only one grumble and this Hotel is not unique when it comes to stained and dirty grouting in the Shower/Bath area. There are simple solutions so there are no excuses.....
Review 19:Praia Sol. Is an independent Hotel that offers 3 star facilities in a great location at very reasonable prices. I mention the location. The Hotels address is Quarteira, but if you use the rear gate, you can be in Vilamoura Marina in 10 mins on foot. Facilities are as you would expect. Food and drink are very well priced at the Hotel and the staff are friendly. Overall I can definitely recommend this Hotel.

Review 65:Reception forgot to give me my bill at checkout and now I have to chase the hotel to have the necessary document for my expense report
Review 66:EXtremely good value for money and friendly staff
Review 67:Terrible staff. Will never stay in this hotel again and do not recommendit to anyone:Before coming on holidays we called the staff of the hotel saying we were 3 persons and not 2. Everything was settled and we were told a price for the 3 persons. At arrival, we did the check in - the 3 people in front of the staff, who said "Maybe the room is small for you but go ahead and check it". We paid the total price for the accommodation and went upstairs. 15 min later one of the staff member (Rui) called us very unpolitely: "Or you pay more or you leave the hotel". We went downstairs to try to understand the situation and explained that we had already paid what was agreed on the phone call and during check in. Without taking it back, another member of the staff (Isabel) started shouting at us, as if we had done anything ilegal. We asked for the complaints book, WHICH WAS DENIED. They asked if we wanted to solve this with the police and we said "absolutely". This was a way to try to scare us, because they made a fake phone call. We stayed in the lobby waiting for a long time. When we asked "is the police coming or not? We want to go to the beach" they replied "should be coming" and made the "real" call and the police arrived in less than 10 min. The policemen agreed we were right. This was the worst accommodation experience ever.
Review 68:No wifi in rooms, only wired internet (15€)
Review 69:Great hotel with 40 or so rooms. Spacious rooms, great beds, lot ofspace, nice bathroom. Great swimming pool. Nice buffet all-u-can-eatbreakfast. Free wifi in lobby. Location is ok but back gate whichprovides easy access to city centre is being closed at 22.00 which issometimes a problem and you have to walk like 10m extra. Perfect valuefor money.
Review 70:Too much noise. We stayed for 1 night , impossible to sleep the walls seem made of paper, it is possible to ear everything that happens in the near rooms..
