Having to leave it!

This was an absolute gem! After a stressful year we needed a peaceful and soothing place. Solgarve did not disappoint. It is located in a quiet & peaceful area but only a 10 minutes walk away from the beachfront with the promenade, restaurants, bars and shops. The apartments were very clean & had everything we needed. We loved the spacious South facing balconies overlooking the pool area. The pool was lovely & warm & at no time was it ever too busy for me to swim laps up & down, and there were always enough sunbeds for anyone who wanted them. There is a small bar area where you can chill with a few beers & enjoy chats with Miguel or other guests. However what really made it so special was Miguel and his staff. We cannot praise them enough. From the minute we booked, Miguel set out to make it a pleasant and relaxed break for us, organising airport pick ups /drop off, and anything else we needed. We arrived at night, more than 2 hours late due to our plane breaking down. Miguel re-organised our airport pick up, and waited for us. He provided us with any information we might need and was so welcoming despite the late hour. Throughout our stay he made a point of connecting with everyone, chatting & telling us local stories & news and more. He is fluent in 4 languages making it easier for those of us with no Portuguese! We also want to give Edmundo & Diego, our taxi drivers, a shout out. Edmundo did the airport trips and was in touch with us even before we took off, with information about the current strike by handling crew and didn't seem to mind having to reschedule last minute, for our late arrival. He gave us lots of information on the area and was extremely pleasant & helpful. Diego was similarly kind & helpful. We would like to thank Miguel & his team, for providing us with such a great experience.

May be they will need a restaurant there to be a completo hotel.

The place is really nice, especially for families with children, the rooms are spacious, the living room is very bright, a fully equipped kitchen, a terrace overlooking the pool that makes eating there pleasant, the bathroom has good water pressure which although you may not believe it is essential when showering, there are two pools, one for small children and another larger one, the depth is very good 1.70 mt. The deeper area makes children feel safer swimming as well as parents, and the most important thing is the attention of the manager Miguel, a super friendly person and attentive to help you in everything, we really would repeat our stay there. Another thing is there is a supermarket about 400 meters from there and down that same street you can reach the beach, it is very close and you can walk ..

The staff couldn’t do enough for us all, so friendly and kind. Pool was clean and safe. Nice to spend time around and the on site shop was handy for cold drinks and ice cream.

A washing machine would have been very useful. The pull out couch was very noisey, it squeaked and not good if you are a light sleeper.

Miguel was super helpful and quick to respond. It was very basic but had everything you need. The pool area is amazing. And it is in a great location. You can walk to a grocery store or the beach. Loved that.

The staff here are excellent, very welcoming and friendly. They even offered to arrange transfers to and from the airport. Approximately 15 minute stroll into strip and beach. Nearby shops, restaurants. The accommodation is great for families - 2 pools and everything we needed in our apartment. Bar available and bbqs on site. No restaurant but we were happy to eat out or bring in shopping from local shops.

Very clean, nice pool and everything you could need in the apartment.

The room is basic. Personally I would have preferred more privacy on the balcony.

Miguel is a wonderful host, welcoming, efficient and so very helpful and informative. The room is clean and comfortable. Everything is in walking distance, you can walk the length of the beach to the Marina. There is also a free bus and Uber is inexpensive. The pool gets sunshine all day long.

No towels for swimming pool but we were offered a clean old hotel towels.

The hotel was great! We were welcomed and checked in early. Everything was clean – rooms, corridors, and pools. Perfect for kids, with space to play and swim. There’s a small bar by the pool for drinks and ice cream. Bolt to the beach or fish market costs 3–4 euros, and free city buses are available. The room had all we needed: fridge, freezer, cooking stuff, dishes, wine glasses, and a coffee machine.

The apartment could do with a bit of an upgrade overall. But this was good value for money and the accommodation was priced well for what we got for our money.

Very clean, fantastic host who couldn't do enough for you. Nicely proportioned apartment.

- We had a car so were able to do day trips and explore the Algarve but without a car, you may feel a bit limited. However, there is public transport nearby and Ubers are very cheap so it shouldn't be a deterrent for staying here. We loved this location and felt very safe and relaxed throughout our visit

We loved our stay at Solgarve! It was the perfect base to relax and explore the Algarve. - The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They arranged a rental car for us at a competitive price (same as Booking.com) but with more flexibility around drop-off times and location - plus we were supporting a Portuguese business. Best of all, the car was delivered directly to the property. - Free parking on-site was a huge bonus. - The pool was fantastic and there were enough sun beds and umbrellas for everyone staying at the property. - It had a very relaxed, safe, family-friendly feeling. - Convenient location within walking distance to a grocery store and the beach. We also walked to the promenade, but there’s a free bus available too. - The room was very clean and the beds were made daily. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. - The bedroom had air conditioning but we just slept with the windows open as there was a strong breeze that kept us cool. - Although checkout was at noon, we didn't need to leave for the airport until the evening and were welcome to enjoy the facilities all day. We were able to leave our luggage in reception so could spend the afternoon swimming before our flight.

Everything was perfect. The staff, the room and the location.

It did not have a laundry machine.

The host Miguel was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The apartment was spacious and clean. There was a swimming pool but it was a bit too cold to swim. The location was good if you had a car to go to Algarve.

Little bit faraway from the beach. But you can use bolt/uber and go to the restaurants, bars and shops.

Very nice and clean hotel. Lovely attmosphere and nice room and specially the balcony, big and sunny.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt cared for. For the money we paid you couldn’t ask for better. Samuel and Miguel were fantastic and the facilities were everything we expected and needed. Will be returning without doubt.

We were there during the big blackout and Miquel and staff could not do enough to ensure our comfort. Thank you for your kindness.

The hotel is spotlessly clean but the shelf holding the microwave was starting to crumble on to the counter and could be replaced. But otherwise it's a really lovely hotel and very good value.

Miguel stayed open late to let us in after a late flight, he was so helpful. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and The Green Bus line which is free.

Convient, clean, spacious self catering apartment and good price per night. Adequate secure car parking and with easy walking distance of seafront and shops. Friendly and helpful reception even with late arrival.

The apartment was pretty big but the overall impression was that the whole hotel should be renovated - the building and interior looks a little bit like something from the XX century. But it was clean and sufficient even for more than one night

2nd visit to Solgarve. Updates & improvements since first vist are noticeable. Even though entire Country (along with Spain) suffered power outage, the staff supplied food & organised a barbecue for all guests.
