What guests think

Hotel Pinhal do Sol offers a quiet, budget-friendly base with a nice pool and generally friendly staff, but its remote location means a car or shuttle is often needed; breakfast and restaurant feedback ranges from good to disappointing.

Many note clean rooms and well-kept areas, though some report dingy linens, ants or bugs, and housekeeping that could improve. Rooms are spacious for a three-star but dated, with occasional uncomfortable beds, noisy doors, weak Wi-Fi, and maintenance issues. Overall, expect a simple stay that works best for travelers with transport.

Facilities

The outdoor pool is repeatedly praised, and the bar area feels modern with good drinks. Parking is convenient and a limited-schedule shuttle helps reach beaches/town, though some maintenance issues, poor playground condition, or renovations affected facilities at times.

They need to improve the breakfast. They bring all things with the lowest quality. The coffee machine bearly gives you hot coffee or hot water for tea. the tea was very low quality and foods in general are not the best for kids. Another thing was good. The room was spacious and clean. Parking is available and the swimming pool was lovely but for adults or babies. Not for 8 to 10 years non-swimmer yet.

An absolute gem of a little place! Sadly, only got to stay for one day and night but had a great experience. Welcomed by Ana, who was friendly and very helpful. Left our cases in the luggage room and spent a very hot but relaxing afternoon by the pool. The pool was surprisingly large and appreciated in the heat. Thoroughly enjoyed the buffet style food in the restaurant in the evening, plenty of choice - fresh salads, hot options of fish, chicken and pasta and tasty desserts. A bargain at €17 each! As we had a very early start for the airport, a packed lunch was ready and waiting for us when we checked out at 3.00am - much appreciated. Would recommend!

I am never a complainer but please read the points below before booking here: 1. Terrible location: The location of this hotel is legit close to nothing at all so be prepared to spend a lot of money on Ubers and taxis. Also to get to your room it’s like a 10 min walk from reception going through the crystal maze. 2. Unfriendly staff: The reception and kitchen staff are very unfriendly I went to go ask for cutlery and the man chased me out the restaurant telling me I have to pay for some food to use the cutlery. 3. Hygiene: Upon entering all the towels were dirty they had makeup on them and there were ants crawling around on the floor in the room. Our bed was also broken and the fridge was not working. After telling the staff about this they told us to come the following day at 9am to check if any different rooms were available and there was none. The pictures on here also look nothing like the hotel I would never even tell my worst enemy to stay here

Das Hotel ist ein gutes 3* Hotel. Man sieht, dass es in den 80ern erbaut wurde und erinnerte uns an ein Krankenhaus Flur. Die Zimmer aber ganz oke, einzig die Toilette hat etwas gerochen. Generell sehr ruhige Lage, aber ein Stück vom Strand entfernt. Frühstück und Abendessen waren oke. Beim Abendessen wurden wir leider etwas verarscht. Er hieß es, unsere 3 jährige Tochter zahlt nix. Nachdem wir gegessen haben, wurden uns 11 Eur für sie berechnet..
