Luna Solaqua arvostelua

Very happy with my stay. Clean, friendly staff, and great location.

Lovely hotel in a decent location, but restaurant was not open

Booked a self-catering apartment for 2 for a week. From the reviews and photos it looks really nice but do check a lot of the more recent reviews. It seems to be a very popular hotel with certain large groups that like drinking heavily and it was dominated by this for all of our stay. The large groups of lads were noisy all the time. Forced to pay for the safe. Have to pay for pool towels as well. If you go as a family this is extra expense. Forced to pay tourist tax on check-in. No rugs in the rooms, all removed from the bedroom and the living room. No doubt because they now have more large hard-drinking groups , they can easily clean the floors. Other guest photos on Tripadvisor clearly show the rugs have been removed. The bedroom was also so dark, 10 watt light bulbs, that it was impossible to read a book. No carpeting in any of the hotels public areas or room corridors which makes it even louder at 3am when guests come back drunk. The comments about the noise by recent reviewers are spot on. Particularly on the ground floor facing the pool, the noise from the bar area carries very easily. Outside on the pool area there were no cushions on the chairs and the sun loungers hard. It would have been nice to sit outside on the balcony and have lunch by the room but it is very cold and does not get any sun. On the other hand the staff were great and the room was clean. But really a 2 Star hotel at most.

We just returned after a fabulous stay in the Luna Solaqua Albufeira. This was our first time visiting Portugal. We were blown away really by the experience. This hotel has something for everybody. Family’s, couples or Friends it’s perfect. We were given room 216. The gentleman who checked us in was so lovely and told us this room was one of the best. He was right. We got in and had a beautiful double balcony and so much space. It was a huge room. Well equipped with everything you need including a kitchen. The room and whole hotel was so clean and we were given fresh towels every day. We didn’t use the pool as we are more beach people but it looked great. In terms of location the hotel is conveniently located a 15/20 minute walk from the old town and the same the other way to the new town. The old town however is the best! There is also a shopping centre close by and McDonalds and KFC across the road. To sum it all up. It was a fantastic stay. The hotel is in a great location, it’s great for everybody and the staff are so lovely. Nothing was ever too much trouble. My only criticism (and it’s very small) is the lifts maybe could do with replacing as they shake a bit but literally who even cares about that. We highly recommend this hotel and would 100% come back. Thank you for a great stay!

This hotel is so handy! It’s bang in the middle of the old town and new town. We stayed here on a hen do, which we didn’t have any issues with. Unfortunately the weather was rubbish while we were there so didn’t make use of the pool or outside areas. Rooms were large and very spacious we were pleasantly surprised! Would stay here again.

We upgraded to a one bedroom apartment after we got there. It was a great move as it was quite roomy, and significantly less expensive than upgrading before we went. The kitchen was adequate, even with the bar size fridge as the supermarket and mall are at the end of the block. When we upgraded, we had a four burner stove top, instead of two which was handy, as I cooked some meals. There was an indoor pool and hot tub which we made use of. There also was a spa and outdoor pool, but we didn’t use those. We had a good sized balcony with a drying rack. Laundry was in the mall, so it was very close. The location is fantastic as ewe were able to walk to old town and new town with ease. The staff are amazing, from the housekeeping staff who keep it spotless, to the front desk representatives who will make reservations and call a cab for you, to the bar staff who make happy hour happen. We would come here again!

This is a good hotel in a convenient central location which could be very good with just a few improvements. We had a spacious self catering studio room with a sunny balcony overlooking the pool. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Staff were cheerful and almost always helpful. The interior decor is a little old fashioned/drab, especially the corridors. The indoor pool was useable, though the basement space it occupies seemed very dark. (Some photo's make it look bright and inviting but they were taken before the ceiling was painted black!). The Jacuzzi was warm and pleasant. The kitchenette was adequate for very simple catering, but minimally equipped; (there were no serving dishes, oven proof dishes, egg cups or beer glasses). I managed to prepare a few meals using plates and bowls to cook in the microwave, but even one oven proof dish would have been welcome. There was a good sized frying pan but no spatula. I did ask at reception, but was told they did not provide additional equipment. You have to provide your own washing up liquid and sponge for washing up. A key for the room safe costs 3 euros a day. Pool towels are 1.50 euros a day each. I was slightly surprised by these extra costs in a 4 star apart-hotel. We enjoyed our stay, but I would look for somewhere better next time, especially if self catering.

This is a very nice "resort hotel", located about 15 minutes' walk from the old town. Parking is available on street public parking (no meter) only, but we could always find parking spots during the one week stay there. A supermarket is located just across the street, and there are plenty of eateries just around the corner. The hotel itself provides all the facilities as you may expect, with a very beautiful outdoor pool (also a very good indoor pool too). The room size is very good and clean.

Very impressed with these apartments. Hotel/apartment in good location not far from shopping centre and public transport. I noticed as soon as you walk into the entrance it was very clean and tidy and smelled lovely. The apartment was massive with everything that you needed, even had a coffee maker to make fresh coffee. Outdoor pool was closed but you could sun bathe on the loungers which I saw a couple of people do. Didn’t use any of the hotel facilities so can’t comment on anything that the hotel offers. Staff were friendly and always said hello. I would definitely book here again.

Spotlessly clean and friendly, helpful staff. Spacious rooms with a nice view from the balconies. Beautiful south facing pool that gets sunshine all day. Nice location between old and new town and a nice shopping mall with a fully stocked grocery store a few minutes walk away.

Second time staying here and hopefully will be returning. Everything perfect from location to the apartment and especially all the staff. Old Town and new Town both aprox. 15 minute walk with taxi rank in front of the shopping centre. Special mention to the most comfortable beds we ever had on holidays.

Second time staying here. This time as a family. Can’t fault it really as supermarket 5min walk away. Old town 20 min walk but an easy one. Special mention to the cleaners they really do a great job and are very friendly great at their job. Not much given to you in the apartment so you will have to buy most things. No brush , cloths for cleaning etc not sure if this is normal may be. Bar over priced. Bar staff very friendly. We didn’t have book a pool view and not a great view from other side of the hotel as your looking at a run down apartment block across the way which looks worse when no sun.

Good location a little bit out of the busy centre. Room was very clean and had everything we needed. Ubers very quickly found from here. Sadly bar closes before 10 pm and barman was quite rude from 9.30 telling people to take drinks in plastic cups. Considering it was very quiet and no noise this was hard to understand

Great place to stay, lovely apartment with pool view. Not too sure about the street side rooms as views there are not that great. We had a problem with workmen in room next to us but this was quickly resolved and Manager moved us to a bigger and better apartment. All in all great customer service.
