We just spent two and a half weeks there. It is a fantastic location within comfortable walking distance to the beaches, the 'Old Town', etc. Two grocery stores ('Pingo Doce' and 'Continente'), the Albufiera Terrace shopping centre, restaurants, cafes, buses and taxis are extremely close by.
Our room (1 bedroom with pool view) was exactley as outlined in the photos, clean, safe and always a welcome to come back after bieng out all day.
Best of all were the staff at the hotel - front desk staff always on hand and helpful, the bar & restaurant staff are exceptionally efficient during 5pm to 6pm 'Happy Hour' ( half price on red and white house wine and 'Bock' beer....and can make a great cocktail, too. My Negronis were always perfect). The Housekeeping staff were great and seemed to be on always hand.
Would highly recommend the Solaqua and will stay there when we return to the region.

Great location away from the noise but less than a 20 minute walk from old town or the strip.
Good selection at breakfast and the indoor pool was a nice temperature and clean.
Next to a small shopping centre for supplies, great parking and bus stop at the end of the road.

Clean and well maintained hotel. In a Studio, which is a fair sized room with a kitchenette (small fridge/freezer, 2 burner hotplate, microwave and toaster). Beds are comfy. Good sized bathroom. Nice balcony to sit n enjoy the view w a bevererage
Location is very central to shops, groceries, restaurants. Area it is in might be a little sketchy at night.

A really really enjoyable stay.
Rooms were lovely and clean, incredibly spacious and the beds were comfy. We had a balcony facing away from the pool, not the greatest of views but was incredibly quiet on a night. Very nice rooms. Location is perfect, 15 min walk either way to old and new town and 2 mins walk to Albufeira Terrace for a very large supermarket. Had anything and everything you need, if you can get by the bossy charity workers at the gates which looked at me terribly when I refused to sign up to something I couldn't understand.
We have never been on holiday in november before and the quietness of the hotel was something we have never experienced before, we normally go all inclusive aswell but self catering meant there was nobody about the hotel on a night or on pool days. Most people round the pool was about 10-15 at one point which made the experience so relaxing. Outside pool was cold to get into but got used to it easily enough. Inside pool was nice and the hot tub was a joy.
Staff were great. Always nice and friendly and cleaning staff always made everything sparkly clean.
Would definitely return without a shadow of doubt. Great hotel.
