We stayed at the hotel Praia Sol, Vilamoura for the last week in July and first week of August 2009. It is clean, fresh and more than adequate. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they all speak English. To address points people have made and we have experienced first hand. Yes the back alley is not very... more

If you are looking for a smaller, friendly hotel, then the Praia Sol is where you need to go. This was our first time in Portugal. The hotel is not obviously sign posted but is only a short walk from Vilamoura (especially if you use the alleyway behind the hotel) and from Quarteria. The beach is only minutes away. The... more

Having read previous reviews after booking this hotel, I was a little worried about its location and the rear exit which is a shortcut to Vilamoura Marina. I needn't have worried. The hotel is a lovely place to stay. It does take a little finding the first time, if you have a hire car like we did, but after that... more

I was a little concerned about this hotel having read previous reviews and comments about the location. It is a short way away from the marina, but there are definite benefits - very little noise from traffic or people that is always present arount Vilamoura marina. The walk to the marina takes about 8 minutes using the alley at the... more

Myself and 3 friends (all early 20s) stayed in this hotel for a week in August 2009. Having read reviews just before we travelled, we were aware of the inconvenient location of this hotel and how it could possibly be dangerous. On arrival early in the morning, our rooms were not ready so we left our luggage in what can... more

I stayed in the beautifull Hotel Praia Sol for one week in August. It is a beautifull, modern, quiet hotel. Rooms are very good equiped, with airco and a nice balcony as well. The staff is great, working very hard to make their guests feel at home. The pool is very nice, and most important, you can always find a... more

Before I write my review can I please request that when anyone returns from a late night that you are quiet as you go to your room? One or two people were not on one or two days. I have returned from a weeks half board from 20 to 27th July with a teenager and a near teenager. Having read... more

We returned from Vilamoura two weeks ago after enjoying a relaxing 11 night stay at the Praia Sol hotel. The hotel is very clean, comfortable and modern - the pool area was lovely and quiet - you could get a sun lounger/parasol at any time of the day - we were probably the first around the pool at 10am -... more
