We were very impressed with the location of the hotel, as well as the roof top swimming pool. THIS HOTEL HAS NO SEA VIEW ROOMS IT IS ONLY POSSABLE TO SEE THE SEA IF ONE LEANS OUT OVER THE BALCONLY AND LOOKS TO THE LEFT PROBLEM 1/. The Sol e Praia are only a Residential establishment NOT a Hotel, so... more

We found the hotel on the web. Having stayed in and around the Algarve for the last 2 years - looking for a place for our children to buy. The hotel is basic, in that the Breakfast is as in all of Europe, with the most amazing toaster I have ever seen, just a 1 sided grill. The only fruit... more

We were on a camping tour in Portugal and booked a couple of nights in this hotel for some comfort. When we arrived, the hotel receptionists checked in all portuguese holiday makers before us, even though we arrived at least an hour before one couple, then they told us our room wasn't ready, so we waited another 2 hours. Receptionist... more

Just returned from a weeks stay at this hotel.The staff were friendly but that did not compensate for the shabby conditions of the rooms.We had two rooms in the dungeon,sorry the basement,both rooms had problems such as yellow/brown water -lights,doorlocks,TV,telephone,radio all either missing or not working.After complaining we were offered other rooms on the second floor but on inspection they... more

well then whee to start, we arrived at the hotel at about 1300 after a long transfer from the airport (although it was a minibus we seemed to have drop offs in every town on the way to lagos!) Upon arrival i was informed my room would not be ready untill 1600 even though they were informed we would be... more

While I was apprehensive about visiting the Algarve (not the kind of place I usually go), I must say I was very taken with the area and would go back again - but not to Sol e Praia. The location is good, just few steps from a really decent beach, and remarkably peaceful - BUT I booked the hotel because... more

Just returned from 10 day stay (24/06-04/07) in the beautiful town of lagos, staying at the Sol e Praia Hotel. The hotel is clean, friendly but does definitely not supersede it's 3 star status. We were met at reception at 11.30am by a friendly english speaking girl who allocated our rooms, she gave us some very basic information on hotel... more

The overall postitive reviews of this hotel surprised me. I used to work in a hotel and have traveled a fair amount and this was my worst experience ever. I'm going to be fair and say that it was late at night, my boyfriend and I made a walk-in reservation, and I asked for the cheapest room. The lobby looked... more

Fantastic location next to a wonderfully clean beach (Accessed by 30 or so steps) Pleasant 15 minute walk to town, take sensible / non slip shoes as the cobbled paths are slippy. Breakfast was nice consisting of cereals, breads meats and cheese (fruit and croissants on occaisions too) this was consistantly topped up by the kitchen staff and plenty for... more
