My mother and father used the Crown Plaza not to far away from this hotel when I was in Vilamoura. I see in the reviews that people think the hotel is "Basic". The only difference between the Crown Plaza and this hotel is that the Crown Plaza is probably a bit more modern in their furnishing. Praia Sol is a touch dated, but still very very much acceptable. Other than that no difference. The place was bloody SPOTLESS, room cleaned daily, friendly staff, the room was really big (Bigger than the Crown Plaza Rooms) balcony was huge, breakfast was grand, filled a spot. Pool and lounge area was really really nice. I am 6ft 1 and 132 Kilos, not a small chap, and the beds were just fine. Genuinely have zero complaints about this place, a real find, great value for money and close to everything. Would 100% recommend. I asked the receptionist, was there any chance I could check out at 12 instead of 11? He didn't bat an eyelid, it was no issue. My room was also ready really early at 11am for check in. If you are looking for something a bit more modern, sure go to Crown Plaza or equivalent, but this place for the price you are paying is fantastic. Couldn't recommend more. In a really nice quiet area too.

Absolutely nothing.

We spent 6nights at Praia Sol last week on a little last minute getaway before our baby arrives. From the moment we checked in we felt like we were staying at a 5star hotel. The staff were all so helpful & friendly (Especially Andre) this guy will definitely be running his own hotel in the future. Always the biggest smile on his face, chatting with guests, tidying around, making sure everything was perfect. He even brought us an extra fresh piece of fruit every morning. The hotel itself was so clean, rooms cleaned daily, complimentary fresh biscuits/ sweets & water in the lobby for guests, bar area that also served pizzas/toasties, beautiful pool area with smaller jet pool & even brand new sun loungers. I am so looking forward to coming back to enjoy their new outdoor bar area that was being finished while we were there. I can't recommend this place enough it was incredible value for money & within 5-7 min walk to beach / quarteira & Villamoura marina

I honestly can't say a bad word about this place

I was travelling with friends and stayed here as a stopover for 1 night (20min from the airport) before we continued our journey, it was perfect location for us so we stayed another night on our way back. Very friendly, helpfull staff, very clean rooms and hotel, good continental breakfast, with free parking, close to the sea front and restaurants. For a 3 star i would Highly recommend it ☆☆☆☆☆

Thank you to all who helped make our stay in this hotel very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay in Hotel Praia Sol and this is due in part to the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, they made us feel very welcome. And the comfort of the bed, our room was basic and acceptable but the bed was super comfortable. The overall cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms was excellent.The management should be very proud of the staff. The hotel is ideally located in a quite area with its own outdoor pool in a nice secluded setting and it's an 8 minute walk from beach, 3 min walk to restaurants and 8 min walk from Villamoura. We give this hotel a rating of 10 out of 10.

Not enough sockets or charging points in the room

The property was in a great location , lovely breakfast , lots of choice , eggs cooked on request , , bright foyer area , nice bar area with toasties and snacks available throughout the day . The staff were friendly and very accommodating .

The bedroom was dark as the curtains didn’t drawback completely from the window which was a pity as they stopped the natural light getting into the room . The shower was over the bath which was fine but there was no non slip mat available so the area was very slippery . It probably would have been available on request but we didn’t ask

Location, bar, breakfast and parking. Hotel has two lifts, comfortable bar for a nightcap or afternoon drink and fast food though you wouldn't class it as a restaurant. Nice swimming pool area outside though we didn't try it on this visit. 5 minute walk to Vilamoura and same to beach if you're fit and no hills.

Mattress two singles together and a little on the firm side for my liking. If they get round to updating the rooms I would recommend walk in showers instead of over the bath

Loved our stay at Hotel Praia Sol. The staff were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. Had a family feel to it. The rooms were spacious and clean. The rooms were cleaned everyday if you allowed which was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of sun beds and a very clean pool area. The breakfast bonus was lovely. The options were mostly the same everyday but just what is needed. Finally the location was great. It was a 25/30 min journey from the airport and a 10/15 min walk to Quarteira and the Vilamoura marina. Would highly recommend especially with the cost for the location.

Nothing at all.

Arrived with my son for a 4 night break and absolutely loved this small hotel. Beach, shops,restaurants, everything you need is only 10 min walk. Hotel it's self is very clean and well maintained, especially the pool area. Always able to get a sunbed as not too busy but a really nice atmosphere with the pool bar and music on... a proper relaxing area. Our room was on the ground floor with balcony,facing the carpark which was a shame but no trouble at all for us. Bed were comfortable, nice warm shower and aircon worked really well. Maids clean your room everyday too with clean towels provided. If travelling out for the day then definitely book an uber as its so much cheaper. All in all this hotel is wonderful and so glad I booked here

Nothing

The hotel was ideally placed for us, being a 10 minute walk from the hullabaloo of Vilamoura Marina and a 5 minute walk from Quarteira town and promenade. It was wonderfully clean, the staff were friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The pool area was nice and the pool itself was clean and inviting. The outside bar was being refurbished during our stay, but this didn't affect us at all. Breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice and healthy options. The whole hotel was a real gem.

The fridge was missing in our room, although this didn't bother us at all. (I suspect the hotel was in the process of obtaining new ones.) It would have been nice, however, to have had some tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Rooms pretty basic, but clean and everything you need. Breakfast is decent - continental style, you can order your eggs however you want, but I wish they had FRESH FRUIT at the breakfast bar instead of a couple big bowls of canned fruit... and a few sad little apples. Portugal has excellent fresh produce - really would be great to have some fresh melon, kiwi, etc out there.

No complaints other than the canned fruit!
