Let me start by saying, if you don't rent a car, staying in this hotel will be a challenge. The village is a long and difficult journey. It is not for the elderly or for people with young children. The building is old and the decor is old as well. It suffers from an distinct lack of ventination. Walking through... more

We went in May so still kind of out of season. There must have only been a handfull of other people staying in the hotel. However, no complaints (apart from the extremley noisey people next to our room). Room was clean and spacious with lovely large balcony. Pool area and gardens get sun all day with stunning views of the... more

This hotel was very cheap as we went totally out season in April, i think there might have been 6 other guests in what is a gigantic hotel. However the hotel staff were very nice especially the friendly barman. So all in all very hard to judge as very quite, but you really really do need a car to explore... more

We have visited Carvoeiro many times before and also stayed at other parts of the Algarve. We stayed at Colina Sol Apartamentos for 3 weeks (room 606). After booking a 2-bed apartment via our travel comapny, we arrived at Colina Sol and we're sent to a 1-bed apartment, but after the mix-up by reception staff it was recified immediately. So... more

We booked to stay here because we found a cheap break and we know the area very well having stayed in the Carvoeiro area many times before. Reception staff were friendly enough, we didn't ask for anything so can't rate their helpfulness. We stayed self catering and the apartment we had was very large. Furniture was basic but functional. The... more

Just back from week half board in Colina Sol. We agree with everything said by the last reviewer. The meals in the restaurant were good although chips most nights became boring, also the salad choices became confined to a teaplate size portion but you could have as many as you want. The staff were fantastic especially the two waiters in... more

Just returned from our first trip to Portugal and the Colina Sol. Our party ranged from our 9 month old baby to my parents in their late 60's. We all had a terrific time and the hotel food on the half board basis was second to none. A fish or meat dish every night with 2 starters and a dessert.... more

Colina Sol Apartments were in a good position with fantastic views and we had a good deal booking a week in a 2 bedroom peak season for £500 for 4 of us. Downside the apartments although clean were old fashioned and definately needed refurb and the outside could do with painting. The biggest worry we would have if our children... more

I went with my fella April 2008 for one week. We paid just £201 each for hotel/flight/transfer all in the price. We knew it was 3* Self Catering for the money and thought for £201 even if we just holiday on the cheap - at least its some sun and a week away. But i was pleasantly surprised. Portugal is... more
