Hotel Sol e Mar

The hotel is right on the beach, which offers no shade without an umbrella. Beach chairs and umbrellas were every day or dismantled and had to be paid extra. They didn't seem too clean on us, so we bought for 9.00 EUR an umbrella and bought us a free beach chair on the beach we were looking for. The sea was in our first week was warm, was built in the second week but always colder. Except one day sprinkle we always had hot sunny weather. The nearest "Fisherman's Beach" can book boat trips to the Felsengrotten, 1 hour for 15 EUR, is quite interesting and fun. From the beach you could go through the tunnel to the old town. The many restaurants and bars are not pushy there very close together and try to get on to drown out at night volume. The idea of the live music isn't bad, but if you from all sides on a einströmt is the no pleasure more. There is a large Mormonenplatz on the is nothing to do but in the adjacent local can sit is quieter and if live music, also enjoy them. This place esclator to the top, here, it was cozy and consolidation walk just above the sea, unfortunately there were almost no local. At the Algarve by car is an adventure, most of the time, through the bad signs misled. The highway is best traffic, but woe if you turn into smaller streets. You want to a beach, you have to first up the hill and shut down, then takes you to a huge hotel area and may take long drive in circles. If you are lucky you will find a parking lot, this is either very far from the beach, costs parking or full. On some beaches which leads you really can't because the huge resorts before the rest of the beach is built up and only guests. " Praia dos Tres Irmaos", one of the most beautiful beaches with lots of rocks was just over the gravel road, following the signs to reach you will never go back. at all the signs to the major tourist attractions is incomplete, following the signs brew lost on the intersections and met us in the opposite direction. With a lot of patience and research we ended up some nice places can visit: Sagres - Fort, Silves-Castell, Tavira and the last bratwurst prior to America. Beware of museums, these are often only three rooms with a few ridiculous objects or pictures.

- The extra costs for renting the safe is with 25 , - € extortionate! + Complained flaws was fixed immediately by the staff.

- The hot food at the buffet was very often cold. - The food going to be late refilled, if at all, another waiter would help. - It will be reserved tables for the guests anyway although their number is too small.

There is no own pool only a small indoor pool, viewable from Restaurantbesuchern, never saw someone swim. Showers on the beach. The bar area of the hotel is very big, with many leather armchairs and with a large TV on the constant football, specifically designed for the English guests running. However, we hardly any guests sit see most people at night in the old town.

+ The rooms of the hotel were kept clean by the staff properly. Throughout the night, the hotel area to the sea-side very brightly lit at night, it means that closed on the furniture on the bars and restaurants and these people retreat loudly behavior. - The a/c is too noisy and would not be advisable to use if you want to go to bed. - Fridge does continuously on full blast. Obviously the heat congested at the back because the machine is weirdly places in a closet without heat-to-& left is installed.

The (when you book a trip) hired car: on transfer of vessel by the car rental demanding that unusual thing of asking 100 , - € deposit as security that the later car including LIQUIDS returned. In addition the rental may require either 400, - € deposit or 94.50 € for a fully-insurance. The 400 € were in the brochure by the tour operator, but in a completely different spot for the day in the catalog and not when it comes to rent a rental car already home. For a lot of car rental by concurrent payment of the trip this is a bad! There is no parking, neither the hotel-own in close proximity. You have to park the car 500m from the hotel.
