Solar De Sao Joao, Albufeira

Despite dealing with cockroaches in the room, which was double-locked for security, the hotel's air conditioning was a plus for my stay. The service provided by the lovely woman at the pool bar, offering tasty snacks and cold drinks, stood out. The location, while nice, was marred by loud and unruly guests. The dining experience was quite simple and slow. Overall, a stay with some challenges but also some highlights.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and had great self-catering kitchen facilities, but unfortunately, there was a cockroach issue that was quite off-putting. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some staff being incredibly friendly while others were shockingly rude. The location was convenient for accessing the strip but was marred by loud and disrespectful guests. The dining options were subpar, with long waits and poor quality food, but the facilities overall were decent.
