Hotel Pinhal do Sol

I liked the pool area and especially to have a choice between the small pool area which was quite and the large pool area which was very busy, Both pools were kept clean which was great.

I did't like that the hotel was so far out and required a taxi, I did not like the accommodation in the house adjoining the hotel and I asked for an up grade, which was fine the decor could be improved and the new bedspreads with brighter colors would improve things. But this hotel was very clean and staff worked hard to up keep this. Thank you

Our rooms were newly built and really nice, can’t complain on anything. Breakfast is nice and okay, I have had better breakfast in other hotels but it was alright for us. We didn’t eat at the restaurant in the evening so I can’t say anything about the dinner. Location is a little bit outside the town center and it’s too far to walk (3km)to the beach if you don’t want to come home sweaty . But the hotel have transfer several times a day to the town and beach. We liked the hotel and we could definitely come back sometime.

We were upgraded to a family room, which was large enough, with balcony and garden view. Extras - an iron, small fridge, kettle with cups, but no instant coffee packets or teabags. WIFI in the room was quite slow, better connection at the restaurant, bar area. The hotel is in a quiet location, away from the city centre. But it didn´t bother us because we had a car and we could visit wonderful Vilamoura and the nearby shopping malls. Supermarket Lidl and a market on Wednesdays are in a walking distance. We stayed all inclusive ( some weird rules will apply ), it was convenient and cheaper, cause the drinks are quite expensive. In general, the food was good, but a bit repetitive.

The staff on the whole were friendly and helpful, except for a unwelcoming lady who served at the restaurant and bar.
