Excellent hotel and service.
Excellent hotel! I stayed here with two friends for our first ever visit to Portugal for my 40th birthday and after reading other reviews, it exceeded my expectations! There are many reviews complaining about the furniture being out of date and uncomfortable beds. But honestly, as we aren't that shallow, my friends and I personally can confirm that while the rooms are dated along with tired kitchen, the hotel was fantastic! Yes beds a little hard but just put a blanket down as a pllowtop and its fine. VERY clean. Clean swimming pool. Great little games room. Superior customer service with very friendly and helpful staff. I especially liked Elena who gave me a health and wellbeing massage in their spa. She went above and beyond, asking questions and answering anything I wanted to know regarding my health etc. Absolutely brilliant. Food was good. Just a great hotel in a very central location for a good price. Perfect for old town or the 'Strip'. Peaceful too. At least it was while we were there. Even though the World Cup was on! Just a great hotel. So if you're superficial regarding furniture. Not the hotel for you. If you're normal this is a best hotel. I am not easily impressed but this was very good. Thank you to all the staff. You made my stay and birthday a very happy one.

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.
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.

Long earned rest
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😎🤗
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.
