4.0 star rating | The distance from 'town' was offset for those who did not fancy a walk by the hotel service bus. On any occasion it was full on a journey, a second bus was made available promptly. The Hotel was a huge bargain , given the low rates for this time of year. We upgraded to a 'superior room', (including a small fridge) and it was the size of an appartment-excellent value The staff were friendly and efficient , with a very good standard of cleanliness. We'd recommend here again | Some of the food was cool , depending on the time , e.g. eating at 8pm when some food was on display from 7 pm. Although this is a great spot for families, given the distance to the larger towns , it might not be so good for families with teenagers. | 06 October 2008 | |
4.0 star rating | Everything in the hotel was very nice and the staff were very friendly | 06 October 2008 | ||
4.5 star rating | We both really enjoyed our stay at this property. We hired a car for the two weeks stay, I think we may have not enjoyed it as much if we'd relied on the shuttle bus. The facilities were excellent and the staff were always really friendly especially Pedro in the bar! Our room was enormous and was always very cool, we didn't need to use the air conditioning once. | The swimming pool was freezing! | 27 October 2008 | |
3.5 star rating | Peace and quiet and location.Probably would go back again.Closeness to Quarteria and Villamoura. | Needs a refurb to bring in up to modern standards. There seemed a dampness about the room,windows had condensation every morning.No place to hang clothes to dry!! | 10 November 2008 | |
3.5 star rating | Staff friendly & helpful | Hotel very dated, only suitable to groups or families that enjoy butlin type holidays. not suitable to non smokers as rules were broken all the time. very noisy. children running up and down hallways banging on doors and shouting. | 13 December 2008 | |
2.5 star rating | In general the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. | The toilets were disgraceful having sick all over the toilet in the bar and in reception from the evening of our visit to the following morning. This needs addressing urgently. The food was ok, however it was very basic and very little choice and if you weren't the first to eat there was no choice and no deserts. I can't really comment more as we only stayed for one night, however the atmostphere from other holiday makers was very negative and this will result in non-repeat business. | 02 January 2009 | |
3.0 star rating | Peaceful location & very clean | Extremely cold rooms, no tea/coffee making facilities had to ask for kettle etc. | 19 January 2009 | |
3.5 star rating | Friendly staff and a quiet relaxing location for a family. Pool not too busy and excellent for toddlers. | Need a grill to rest your tray on while you are getting your breakfast. Plenty of spilt beans and smashed eggs due to balancing a full tray and trying to get food. | 01 September 2009 | |
4.0 star rating | This hotel we have visited a number of times before and have always found the staff very very proffesional and the cleanliness se3cond to none. | The only negative regarding this hotel is the lack of English speaking TV. (Just BBC world news!) | 01 December 2009 | |
4.0 star rating | Bem situado, ambiente calmo | Ar condicionado antiquado e barulhento. | 19 August 2010 | |
1.0 star rating | foi tudo muito mau, mas o pior é a falta de higiéne e das condições dos quartos | 13 September 2010 | ||
3.0 star rating | gutes Frühstück, geräumige Zimmer | leider sehr hellhörig; die Fassade muà unbedingt gestrichen werden | 29 December 2010 | |
3.0 star rating | Boa recepçao. boa piscina, bom atendimento no restaurante, | Instalaçoes um pouco antiquadas, nao troca diaria da cama e toalhas, variaçao frequente da temperatura da agua durante o duche. | 22 March 2011 | |
4.5 star rating | Encontrei muitos mosquitos no quarto talvez devido à zona de localização, o meu conselho é a colocação de redes mosqueteiras pois com crianças torna-se complicado a estadia. | 16 April 2011 | ||
3.0 star rating | O pequeno almoço era bastante bom. O espaço envolvente é muito agradável. | As instalações (os quartos) necessitam de intervenções urgente a limpeza dos mesmos deveria ser feita de melhor forma, os tapetes são desnecessários e as toalhas precisam ser trocadas abundantemente. | 10 July 2011 | |
4.0 star rating | A localização, a disponibilização de mini-bus para praias, a limpeza | A água do chuveiro é de "saÃda" muito irregular, ora fria, ora quente, para quem tem crianças pode até ser perigoso | 02 August 2011 | |
3.0 star rating | We were not expecting too much from the hotel as we only used it for two one night stays. The hotel is very quiet and the staff were very good, the main drawback is with the room quality as they seem a little bit tired i.e. decor and style and the rough nature of the bathrooms. As it stands due to our short stay we accepted the level as overall it was quite reasonable for what we paid, however both my wife and myself would be very disapointed if we had booked the hotel for a week as some people had. | 06 September 2011 | ||
4.0 star rating | Uma boa relação preço qualidade | Comparando o serviço de jantar com o pequeno almoço, o serviço de jantar não tem a mesma qualidade que o de pequeno almoço. O horário para a piscina é desadequado um vez que se inicia pelas 10h e termina às 19h, na minha opinião o horário da piscina deveria ser das 07h às 20h. | 29 September 2011 | |
4.0 star rating | A minha avaliação é positiva, consideramos o serviço óptimo e económico. | Na parte da Restauração devia de haver pensão completa, atendendo à zona que ainda fica dispersa do Centro da Vila. | 11 October 2011 | |
5.0 star rating | Situation, prix, qualité de la nourriture, personnel très attentif, hôtel à recommander. | 03 April 2012 | ||
5.0 star rating | Wir waren öfter da und besuchen das Hotel immer sehr gerne. Schöne Lage und für uns alles super. Es gibt Leute, die immer was zum meckeren haben, aber wir sind sehr und sehr zufrieden. Ich gehe weiter nicht in details, aber wir kommen mindestens 2 Mahl pro Jahr da und das sagt genug. Wir lieben Spaziergänge in die Umgebung und plauderen met die lokale Bevölkerung in eine Kneipe, u.s.w. Das Hotel bekommt von uns die beste Punkte!!!! | 30 March 2012 | ||
4.0 star rating | Quartos espaçosos em sÃtio muito calmo. Boa localização, especialmente no que respeita ao acesso ao Aquashow. | Restaurante pequeno se hotel estiver com muita gente. Localização dos aparelhos exteriores do ar condicionado pois o barulho pode incomodar ouvidos mais sensÃveis (no meu caso optei por dormir com tampões e assim resolvi o problema). | 17 April 2012 | |
5.0 star rating | Well, we´re coming there mostly 3 times a year and, what have I more to tell. We love this place. Every time, we feel us like coming home. Sounds maybe, but that´s our feeling. We like this hotel very much and we hope to visit it a lot of times more. | Leonarda | 25 May 2012 | |
5.0 star rating | We´re visiting this hotel 2 or more times a year. It´s far away from tourism and so a nice and quiet place for going out and we´re walking almost every day. | Leonarda | 13 November 2012 | |
5.0 star rating | Well, What can I write more, than it was the fourth time this year. We´re coming there for years and years and we hope fore a lot af times more. We like this hotel and the Portugese people and f.e. a taxi driver was so enthousiastic and we talked a lot. Three times he was thanking us for our visit and told us that Pinhal do Sol must be a good place, because of the lot of tourists are coming there. We´re Dutch, so my English is not so very well, but I would recommanded this hotel to everyone, who likes a quiet place, in the nature. We love it to be between the locals. We walk a lot every day. Lovely sitting on the boulevard in Quarteira before the shuttletaxi is coming, Well, for us is PinhaL Do Sol, with all the personal, like coming back home. We love this place and the team and that`s why we´re coming again and again. | Leonne | 26 December 2012 | |
5.0 star rating | Well, we´re visiting this hotel 4 times a year and we hope to go there a lot of times more. We´re just home and booked again. | Leonarda | 04 March 2013 | |
5.0 star rating | As always, fine to be back at our second home. | Nothing. | Leonarda | 21 May 2013 |
3.0 star rating | A telvisão apenas com o 1º canal da RTP O comando não dava acesso aos canais nacionais. Barulho das pessoas ao caminhar no acesso aos quartos. As portas dos quartos fazem barulho. Este comentário é apenas de um dia no hotel e por esse motivo é suprficial. Julgo que as notas aqui deixadas podem sêr melhoradas sem grandes despezas! | 12 September 2013 | ||
4.5 star rating | Tudo 5* | Nada acrescentar | 12 October 2013 | |
5.0 star rating | Every time, we´re seeing that the management tries to change one or another. We were there so many times and sometimes, 4 times a year and so you all know, that we´re very happy with this location, the atmosphere, the personal etc. etc. | No negative things about the hotel, but about some of the visitors. I can´t understand that a lot of visitors leaving the breakfast table, with ....a lot of food they took, but the eyes were greater than the mouth. Further not thinking about cleaning the table a little bit or something like that? No, walking away and leave everything, as it was during eating. I´m so pity with te girls, working there. The same story outside on the terrace. Having a cup of coffee and walking away. Why not bring it back to the diners room. Smoking a cigaret and well, for taking an ashtray, you have to walk a few meters.So, you´re throwing every thing on the floor, because? I can´t understand this mentality and I don`t like it. | 04 December 2013 | |
A very good living, you get value for money. | No access to Internet in the room. | Stefans | 05 May 2014 |
