Marina Sol

Rent apartment 514. 4th floor without elevator for 3 years. Not reported in the booking.com ad, among others. Swimming pool not maintained when it is part of the selling point. In reality, it is not passable because the presence of mud, green water... Vacuum cleaner never passed in 15 days. It seems that it is a trustee problem that has lasted for 1 moment (info provided by a resident). Of course... But the fact is not reported on rental sites. On the other hand, the apartment is spacious, comfortable and clean.

Stayed for a week, in which this happened: - Lights went out six times in a matter of twenty minutes because someone 'cleaned the stove with water' therefore causing curt-circuits everytime I tried to cook; - Ran out of hot water more than a couple times because we, according to the tenant 'should know how it works. We're the ones who didn't knew how to use the shower'; - Minimum appliances to cook with'; - The towels (changed every 4 days) were never like the other, made me question the hotel's coherence and how they got them; - Bar by the pool ? What bar ? Never saw it open; - The apartment was never clean, the floors stayed dirty for the whole week; - They give you two roles of toilet paper, and that's it. Apart"hotel" ?!

Stayed for six nights at the Marina Sol and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Being honest, we decided to stay here because it was the cheapest we could find that was close to the Estadio de Municipal for the football. Our shuttle to the hotel from Faro airport was 45 minutes late and we arrived at 23.30, half an hour past the latest check-in time. The owner and her daughter however, waited on the balcony for us and warmly greeted us, ensuring that we knew our late arrival was not a problem in the slightest. The room we received was basic, but perfect for what we needed it for. From a glance, the majority of the rooms looked nicer than what we had, but like I said, ours was ideal for our needs and for what we paid. The pool was empty most days which gave us plenty of relaxation opportunity, and the owner and her daughter were lovely in hanging around the bar for if we needed a drink. Extremely friendly, dare I say the friendliest Portuguese people we came across all holiday! Would definitely stay here again.
