Sol Príncipe

During my long weekend stay we initially found the hotels front entrance looking like a staff entrance or delivery gate rather than an inviting hotel entrance, the other side of the hotel had a single sliver Crome gate on the beach side which can only be accessed by using a hotel card provided upon staying in the hotel however the gate is prone to static shocks. The staff were friendly, attentive & polite. The rooms were lacking in cleanliness, under the bed was a woman’s pink fake nail & crumbs, the balcony glass consisted of stains & smear marks from previous guests. The rooms only had 2 sockets with one in the shower room & the other in the main. The fridge was super small & didn’t chill drinks inside. Branding wasn’t on point in the room either. Housekeeping was daily with maids changing towels & making the beds. The outside pool with sun loungers gets closed off to guests really early which is baffling. The location of the hotel is surrounded by restaurants serving mostly fish with the smell being very atomic, walking to the town centre takes about 25 minutes with heavy hills / stairs however there is an elevator costing 50 cent further along the away from the hotel which can be tricky to find. It’s not ideal for those who wish to explore as it would consist of lots of walking. The hotel had 3 elevators just along from the front desk which according to the stickers inside hadn’t had their routine service that was due in 2023. The hotel requires you to place down your credit card or debit card upon staying along with your passport, this is usually standard procedure in most hotels however it’s also a fly way for hotels to charge additional charges it finds especially when there’s some that don’t require it. Overall its lobby does look tidy & rather posh with friendly staff but is lacking in the rooms, branding & odd closer of the pool in the late afternoon.

Went with family and friends, and it was "alright." It's not a place I will rush back to. The rooms, although clean and tidy, were hot. and when we asked about the a/c to be turned on, we were told, "It wasn't time for a/c to be on." The following day, all the outdoor swimming pools were cold, including the toddler's pool. When we asked at reception, we were told that because we requested the a/c to be on the heating for the pools, it had to be switched off. The food was nice, and the service was good, but I won't be rushing back again .

I've stayed in Sol Principe a couple of times for a business event and it was good. Rooms are a little bit tired, but you have everything you need there. Big plus for me was that they have a lot of gluten free options in the restaurant, even gf churros 🙂 Nice pool areas for a bit of relaxing and fantastic beach right in front of the hotel. Overall good experience.

Overall the stay was ok. Wasn’t the worst but wasn’t the best. Stayed here for 7 nights and had a good time but we didn’t stay in the hotel for the majority of it which is probably why it was still good. Rooms aren’t described as the photos, they are outdated and small. We requested a double bed upon booking but got two single bed's pushed together - this was extremely inconvenient as the beds kept moving around creating a gap. We basically slept in two single beds separately. The pools was cold for this time of year which would’ve been great if there was some sort of heating in the outdoor pool as the indoor pool was too small to accommodate all guests to go in. We couldn’t get breakfast as the line for this was crazy, at one point the line went out the door from reception. Staff were overall ok except for one member of the bar staff who was extremely rude and agitated when we asked him a question. It is a good location and the rooms have a good view of the beach, this is very much a family hotel and if you’re not getting the all inclusive I would avoid staying here.

The hotel was good. The rooms were clean and the service was good. Also a really good location( by the sea). There were some downgrades also. The food was not the best quality and the open doors to the smoking area. The doors were open almost all the day and the odour of cigarettes was absolutely terrible. I hope those things will improve. Despite those I enjoyed my stay on this hotel
