I could not fault the brisa sol, I found it to be in a good central location. My nephew who was then 9 loved it.
Maid service was excellent, towels changed every day.
I would visit this again.

We arrived home on Sunday and have to say that this hotel was lovely and clean. Maids always around doing something.
We were self catering so never tried the restaurant but had a few snacks around the pool and they were lovely, large selection of everything to be had.
The location was around 20-25 mins to the strip.o.k going but bit of a trek coming back so jump in a taxi, only 3.25 euros every time.
The old town was lovely and only took 10 mins to walk but down a fairly steep hill although we walked back a couple of nights and it wasn't too bad coming up if you took your time.
Staff were lovely and friendly and despite other reviews we didn

The hotel definitely warrants it's four star rating. It was extremely clean and of a high standard - our room was cleaned every day and bedding changed. Staff in general were very helpful and friendly.
We stayed in a studio for 2 people and it was plenty big enough for our son's cot as well. Only complaint was that we were put in a studio with steps leading down to our balcony. Obviously not ideal with an 18 month old! We enquired about being moved, but the hotel was fully booked. Unfortunately this meant that we had to keep the door to the balcony shut throughout our stay.
Didn't eat in the restaurant, but the food from the poolside snack bar was excellent and not really any more expensive than elsewhere.
Brisa Sol is halfway from the Old Town and the Strip, but it's a good 25 minute walk to either. We ended up getting taxis quite a lot, because it was difficult to push a buggy on the cobbled streets.
Outdoor pool was lovely, but very cold. We used the indoor pool a lot, which was like getting into a bath!
I wouldn't say it's a particularly good choice if you have children. There is not really any entertainment to keep them occupied either during the day or night. Definitely a more adult orientated hotel - hence the reason we probably wouldn't go there again, as our son will be more difficult to keep amused next year!

I spent 5 days here with my cousin and we loved every minute of it.
The Hotel was in a great location, the room was lovely (although we didn't have a great view), the bathroom was spotlessly clean and we found most of the staff to be friendly and helpful.
The pool area was excellent too as was the Hotel restaurant.
If I am ever lucky enough to travel to Portugal again I would not hesitate in staying here again.

The rooms were quite large,pool view highy recommended, but storage space for clothing limited.
The hotel/rooms kept clean and staff excellent.
The poolside snack bar good value with a decent menu.
The entertainment was limited but usually went to the bar for last drink as prices actually cheaper than the Strip and Old town.
Not to much of a problem to walk or taxi(always 5 Euros no matter where you go)to get to Old and new towns.
Try O Cacho restaurant about 150m to right as come out of the hotel, I guarantee you will not be disappointed .It is absolutely top notch and brilliant value.

We arrived thinking we had been booked into the wrong hotel!
Huge reception area with money exchange available at exactly the rate you got at home. Staff could not be more helpful.
Maid service was unbelievable, every day if you need it. We did say a couple of days just to leave it as nothing had been touched from the day before!
Fab restaurant you can go to even if self catering. You can also have breakfast in the hotel. (6 euros I think).
Poolside bar was great for a snack through the day. Pool very cold! Beware.
All in all would recommend this hotel to anyone. Could not find a fault.
Hope to return soon.

We have actually just returned from this Brisa Sol hotel yesterday. We found the hotel to be excellent value.
The location of the hotel was fantastic - 20/30 mins walk to strip & 10/15 mins to Old Town so pretty central for the busy bits and beaches too.
Room - 1 bed apartment, the only fault we could say was the need to invest in some new beds in the living room area. No way to get comfortable on the squeay couch thing!! We ended up taking the mattress off and sleeping on the floor!!
Maid service - again without sounding repeditive. The maid was in our room every day, making beds, changing towels excellent service.
Staff in general at this hotel were very friendly and assisted you whenever possible.
We would have no hesitation returning to this hotel and recommending it to our friends and family

This was our second visit in 3 years to the Brisa Sol. We found it absolutely delightful. We stayed in a room facing the dual cariageway at the front of the hotel and found this to be a very interesting outlook and the noise level did go down after midnight ( although we never did really find the noise a problem). The supermarket being almost next door was a boon and stocked everyting and at least 20% cheaper than at home. We cannot wait to make out next visit and perhaps will take the grandchildren as there is lots for them to do there. Cannot wait for our next visit in 2005!!

This is a well kept, clean hotel located half way between the old town and the strip, next to the Modelo supermarket. The rooms were quite spacious, balcony a bit small. We had a one bed apartment and the bedroom was on the front which overlooks a busy dual carriageway - the noise did keep me awake at night - despite a few cocktails! The other beds were 2 bed settees in the lounge. Didn't eat at the hotel, but there's a large restaurant. The pool area is large with plenty of sunbeds, but the outdoor pool was absolutely freezing. There is a heated indoor pool but it's not that big. Also games room with indoor mini golf, pool table and a couple of arcade machines. Because of it's location it was a bit of a walk whereever you went. There's a bar which did have entertainment on a couple of nights, but we usually went out.
