The Navigator - Solaqua

Clean and great location . No sun bed wars

Groups of stags and hens sometimes

Location and very friendly staff

Hotel could do with a face life Too many large groups drinking in the pool and no staff visible to stop them.

Very clean. Nice location. Mall with a few stores within 3 min walking distance. Pool area nice. Food good.

A bit noisy young lads in the pool area and although hotel is clean and well kept it could do good with a few modern upgrades.

Habitación grande, vistas

Había un cumpleaños en el spa.

Great location, close to the shopping centre and within easy walking distance of the old town and the beach. The room and bathroom were clean, with a good shower and the added convenience of a coffee machine in the room. Bedding was changed twice during our 7-night stay, and fresh towels were provided every other day.

We have stayed at this hotel several times and have always loved it, which makes this visit particularly disappointing. The hotel now allows stag and hen groups, and some were very noisy around the pool during the day and late at night, taking away from the relaxing atmosphere we had previously enjoyed. The pool area was not as clean as before, there were not enough umbrellas, and some were in poor condition. The beds, once very comfortable, were now hard and the pillows lumpy. Our arrival experience was also disappointing due to the male receptionist on duty, who was unfriendly and lacked a welcoming attitude. However, all other reception staff we encountered were lovely and helpful. Sadly, we feel the hotel, like Albufeira in general, has changed and become more of a party destination. This may suit younger groups looking for nightlife, but it is no longer the peaceful retreat we once enjoyed as a couple.

Beautiful location, spacious rooms with the basic kitchen equipment

No complaints

The ease of pace

A slightly later bar to finish off the nights would be good
