Albufeira

This luxurious apart hotel is conveniently situated in the centre of the popular holiday resort of Albufeira on the breathtaking coastline of the Algarve. The historic old town and the famous strip with its large variety of restaurants, bars, pubs and nightclubs are within a few steps, the beach is just a short stroll away. The international airport of Faro can be reached within 30 minutes by car.

Family trip to Albufeira

We have just returned from a 10 day stay at the Brisa Sol. The hotel location is fabulous, a ten minute walk to the old town and far enough away from the strip not to be disturbed of an evening. There is a supermarket 2 minutes away, where you can get everything you need for a self catering holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean in every area, the rooms are cleaned daily and the pool and snack bar are very clean. The hotel pool is great and very relaxed. They allow inflatables and balls. It doesn’t open til 9am so there is not that horrible rush for sun beds. There was always plenty of spare sun beds ( we did go before school holiday though). We visited a local waterpark called slide and splash, which was one of the best water parks we have ever been to (and we’ve been to lots). We booked the tickets for the waterpark through our Jet2 rep and got an uber there. The journey was about 25mins and cost €20. I recommend you use Ubers rather than taxis for all trips out there. It is a much cheaper option. We got an uber to the marina one evening and it cost us under €5. Now just a couple of negative points but they should in no way put you off booking here, just some things to be aware of. The hotel likes you to pay in cash at the bar and snack bar. If you don’t have cash, you have to put it on your room account and settle later, reception is the only place that takes cards. It is not really a problem but take plenty of cash with you. While the staff at the hotel are all very professional, informative when asked something and polite, I would not say they were friendly, almost stand off ish at times. We made it a daily game of ours to make eye contact with reception to get a hello. It didn’t distract from the wonderful time we had but more friendly interaction with staff would have been nice. We would 100% go back again to the Brisa sol.

Great week

Just back from our week's holiday. We had a one bedroom apartment facing the pool. The apartment was really clean and spacious. Cleaners came every day. The whole place is very clean. We had no issues getting sunbeds but it was getting busier towards the end of our stay and there are lots of people putting towels down at 9 as soon as the pool opens. Really nice pool, poolside snack bar and reception area. Two comments but not complaints, for both bars it's cash only (or you can charge bill to your room and pay when leaving) and the balconies on one side of the building are not very private. You can see into the next door balcony and chat if you wanted. Would definitely recommend this hotel. When we stayed there was no entertainment during the day and no lifeguard. I don't know if this changes at busier times.

Brisa Sol the place to go

This is a great hotel, been going there for 26years and in 3 weeks time will be back, clean rooms cleaned every day, good pool and great snack bar, staff are all very nice, some have been there as long as we have been going, location is good for either strip or old town, also next to Brisa is a very good cake shop, in all a good hotel for a great holiday.

A Fantastic Stay – So Glad We Switched Hotels!

After arriving at another hotel in Albufeira that simply wasn’t for us, we checked out within 20 minutes and booked Brisa Sol instead. It turned out to be the best decision we made during our holiday. From the moment we arrived, the difference was obvious. The hotel is absolutely spotless throughout, with housekeeping maintaining a very high standard. Although the rooms are a little dated in terms of décor, they are immaculately clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a ground-floor pool-view room and couldn’t recommend it enough. The views were lovely, and it was great having easy access to the pool area. One thing that may be useful for families is the excellent selection of English TV channels available. If you’re travelling with children, this is a nice touch and gives them something familiar to watch in the evenings. The location was perfect for us. The Old Town was only around a 7-minute walk away, making it easy to enjoy the restaurants, shops and atmosphere without being right in the middle of the noise and crowds. If you’re looking for somewhere a little more relaxed for an evening out, I’d highly recommend a trip to Vilamoura. It’s only around €10 by taxi and offers a beautiful marina, fantastic restaurants and bars, and a much more laid-back atmosphere than some of the busier party areas. We found it a great alternative and enjoyed several evenings there. Overall, Brisa Sol exceeded our expectations. Clean, comfortable, well-located and excellent value for money. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the Algarve.
