Stayed here last October when it was a late heatwave. We were not dissapointed. There is a supermarket about 5 mins walk if you turn right out of the main entrance doors. It sells dead cheap portugese wine which is very nice.. Try it. Especially the white varieties. In the old town our favourtie eatery was the mexican Mi Sombrero.... More

About an hour from Faro airport (transfers £12 return) and in a good location with shops and eateries nearby. The charming old town is about 10 minutes walk down a fairly easy hill, with the glitzier strip 15 minutes stroll in the opposite direction. The tourist train which does laps of the resort (2 euros) stops outside, as do many... More

Well equipt kitchen and comfy living room with sat tv which is excellent as we holiday in the winter we dont venture far at night time and if we do have a poor day now and again its nice.... More

As all the reviews says the Brisa Sol is in a great location. A short walk downhill brings you to the Old Town and a slightly longer walk will take you to the Strip. Hotel is surrounded by shops, a supermarket and bars/eateries. Carparking at hotel is limited and will be a real lottery in high season. Staff at the... More

January 2012 - I've just returned from a fantastic holiday spent with my Mum. I booked this back in august 2011 with the intention of just relaxing and spending time together. The hotel is approx 30-40 mins from the airport (without drop-offs) and the first thing I noticed was how clean everywhere looked. On arrival to the hotel (10.30pm) we... More

I stayed at this hotel in October 2011. It's situated between the Old and New towns of Albufeira which is perfect for exploring the area. I stayed on BB and found the breakfast to be fresh and plentiful. It was lovely to sit overlooking the pool whilst eating. The room had a great view looking over the pool on the... More

We stayed at the Brisa Sol again at the end of September/beginning of October for two weeks, and we had a studio apartment overlooking the carpark at the back. We had booked with Thomsons, and I asked for a poolside room, but when we arrived I was very disappointed to be put at the back. Apart from that there was... More

A good 3 star definitely not worthy of 4. In need of updating all over. Seaview overlooks the pool also and requires extra money - when requested they said they were full, though the hotel looked empty. Land view overseees the carpark and shopping centre. Rooms were spacious though includes a lounge with 2 sofa beds for the kids, separate... More

We have just returned from a 1 week stay at Brisa Sol, the weather was exceptional, which was good because there was no where to sit in the hotel and relax other than your room. Our room was a mass disappointment as we overlooked the staff/guests car park, on the side of the hotel and we never got any sun.... More
