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.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Just returned from a very relaxing week staying at Hotel Brisa Sol. As a family we had a lovely stay and I wanted to give you an insight into a couple of areas within the hotel. RECEPTION On arrival the reception area is spotlessly cleaned and a great amount of seating. There is a small shop within reception which was handy. There is also a small bar which was a great asset. We paid for a safe of which was 20 Euros, You got this payment back on your departure when returning the key. The reception team were always extremely helpful. ROOMS We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was such a spacious area. The main bedroom had two single beds together, there is ample wardrobe space and there is a safe in this room. A TV is also on the wall with British Channels. BATHROOM The bathroom was a great size with a very powerful shower. There was ample towels of which were provided daily. LOUNGE AREA/KITCHEN Such a big space spotlessly cleaned. There was a TV and sofa bed which was comfortable. The cleaners came in every day and were very friendly. POOL AREA Always plenty of sunlounges available. The pool was cleaned every night. The pool bar was excellent with a good menu. Please be aware that they do not accept cards you have to pay at the pool bar by cash. CAKE SHOP NEXT DOOR Not great for the diet but wow a wonderful selection of cakes at very good prices. LOCATION The hotel is in a wonderful location, 10 mins from the old town and the strip. Opposite the hotel is KFC and McDonalds. There is a great bar called Net @ Cafe which does great breakfasts and this is opposite Brisa Sol. As a family we spent the majority of our time in the old town as there was plenty of bars and restaurants. We also got a taxi to the Marina and ate at Fat Cats which was lovely. All in all, A great week. I would have no hesitation in staying and recommending Brisa Sol. Well done to all the Brisa Sol team.
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.
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.
Here at the moment pool view one bedroom apartment facing pool and sea.Amazing room spotless, pool area and snack bar spot on, staff very friendly 2nd visit will be back. Prime location😎🤗
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.
