Hotel Praia Sol, Quarteira

The hotel is brilliantly located, just a short walk to the marina for the evening, the beach, cafes, and the leisure center. The rooms were fairly basic but clean and comfortable, with plentiful hot water. The service was exceptional, with hard-working and helpful staff. However, the dining experience was rather odd, mainly consisting of bread rolls and poor-quality coffee. The location is fantastic in Portugal with equal distance from the beach and the marina, although some sunbeds were limited and broken. The price for four nights was 133 euros, which is amazing value for the facilities provided.

The hotel was a decent choice for a short stay. The rooms were basic and adequate for sleeping and washing, but the strong smell of cigarettes and lights hanging from the ceiling were off-putting. The service was friendly but lacking in experience, with one staff member multitasking between roles. The location was conveniently situated near the beach and marina but suffered from chilly evenings. The dining options were acceptable but could have been improved. Overall, it served its purpose for a quick visit.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with its old rooms and subpar furniture, but the balcony view overlooking the entrance on a B&B basis adds a nice touch. Some renovation work in the bathroom is needed. The service excels in making the best out of a challenging situation, although one staff member could be more cheerful. The location is brilliant with easy access to the marina, beach, cafes, and leisure center but suffers slightly from graffiti in the area. The dining menu is limited but includes fresh products. The hotel boasts a friendly atmosphere despite outdated facilities.
