Overall Ratings & Reviews Sintra Sol - Apartamentos Turisticos

This place is a dump. Do not stay here, and don’t trust the reviews that say otherwise! This place might have been great in the 90s, but that’s the last time anything was maintained and/or cleaned thoroughly. Our first room was dark and filthy, and located on the maintenance side of the property. So we went to the front desk to ask to get moved since most rooms were sitting empty. The second room was just as bad. Shower doors were falling off and the shower head was broken. The wooden closet smelled like it had been generously sprayed with fungicides, so we kept the windows open all day and all night. I swept the floor and picked up piles of hair and dirt. So nasty. Pillows were home made lumpy mystery bags and the mattress was easily from the 80s. The pool area is gross and falling apart. Looks like a hepatitis breeding ground. I repeat: Do not stay here.

Reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The room was pretty basic, kitchenette although no tea cups, no air con, small shower and shower head was broken it dribbled water constantly so we had to leave a towel to stop the sound. The hotel is based in an extremely quiet area so if you’re looking for nightlife or a tourist area this is not the place for you! We stayed for 3 nights which in this particular area was enough. View from balcony was lovely - overlooked the pool area and had a sea view. Pool was very large and clean with a water slide and a poolside bar. Best to pre-book a taxi as it cost €84 one way using the airport taxi but only €57 when pre-booking.

Great location and the front desk staff was exceptional!

Overall there was no issues on our stay however, when we initially entered the room the first impression was "this is tiny!" So pictures were quite deceiving. Putting that aside the general facilities and staff attitude was great. Going forward I'm 50/50 whether I'd go there again but if I do I think it would be for the staff and facilities and not the room itself

Reception staff really friendly and helpful. Upgraded from studio to apartment so very grateful but whilst meticulously clean, the apartment and whole complex needs modernizing as its age showing as looking tired and too many botch up jobs ie. Tape around cracked unit, leaking loo and mattress on its last legs and no bounce. Paid fair price as out of season but folk might be disappointed paying full price.

Not as close to the beach as we thought. Walking distance to town. Nice view from the room. Beautiful Olympic size pool and an area for children. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay in Praia de Macas, the sea was beautiful and there were nice cafes and restaurants in the town. The host at the accommodation was incredibly kind and helpful in advising us how to get around and things to see. She made our visit very easy. The accommodation was clean and located very close to the beach. Unfortunately as it was May the pool wasn’t quite yet open so worth checking this before you stay. However they did kindly offer to let us swim at the sister hotel.

These apartments are quite dated but comfortable enough. The resort pools were drained for maintenance and there was no restaurant open. We had a slight view of the ocean from our balcony. Nearby was a touristy tram to Sintra.... good fun.... but be really careful of the times both ways as they vary for the season and the actual day of the week. All in all, the whole beach suburb seemed run down.

reception was very pleasant, although we arrived late and in fog, but everyone was still attentive. The appartment was very nicely located right above the big swimming pool.

Overall a nice little place with pool and ocean views, but definitely seems more summertime oriented. It is in what we thought was quite a sleepy little area, in February. There was some confusion as they didn't have our reservation info from hotels.com despite having booked it 3 hours before. He checked all the emails again. They did honor the hotels.com price, however, and in the morning they said it came through in the middle of the night. It just delayed the check-in a bit. Their card reader wasn't working so I had to go to the ATM to pay the room. We were the only ones staying here this night, so we had the resort grounds all to ourselves and joked that we could have finished the album we are working on without disturbing anyone. Overall, despite some small hiccups with checkin, we liked it just fine.

Reception helpful and friendly. Condition of the property was well dated, inexpensive treatments, and needed upgrades

The apartment was nice but a little small

On the upside our kids loved the swimming pools and the large slide. Also the apartment was clean and the beds comfortable. However, the site overall is a bit tired. The most annoying thing was loud club music thumped most of the night and stopped us sleeping. Glad it was a one night stay.

Not as luxurious as photos show but excellent if you are looking for a simple relaxing family holiday with fantastic staff to help you.

The hotel was located close to the ocean but with an awesome view if the surrounding countryside.The pool is huge with a diving board and water slide. A plus is that there are life guards. The unit is good for two adults, as it has one double bed and a place for two children to sleep on the couch in the living room. The bathroom is very small-bring your own toiletries-no hair blower. We had a kitchenette unit supplied with dishes and pots and frying pan. The balcony is small but a table and chairs, umbrella and two lounge chairs were provided.The best part is that the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful- most eager to help in any way-spoke English as well. We had no car and walked everywhere we went-grocery shopping,dinning out and the bus service was good.

It was a short stay, the staff was friendly,curtious and helpful. The food at the local restaurants were great. I had the one bedroom off the pool, I enjoyed the view, the breeze everything.

Lovely place to stay. Nice staff and really clean appartments. Bit expensive. But close to beach and lots of shops and places to eat. Pool could do with hands on cleaning!

Apartamento muito espaçoso, limpo e confortável, com cozinha equipada. Corresponde bem às fotos e descrições. Há um Continente Bom Dia na mesma rua. Alguns detalhes negativos: no quarto há apenas uma tomada; na pia do banheiro não havia água fria, apenas muito quente (mas na pia da cozinha há ambas); quando chegamos havia uma toalha pendurada atrás da porta do banheiro.

Debiera estar cerrado Es un lugar vacacional de verano. En octubre está desierto, la piscina ya está verde. Sin mantenimiento

Les photos de la description d’expedia ne sont pas à jours ce qui crée une très grande déception. Besoin de rénovation majeure. Trop cher payé pour l’état des lieux. Désuet, vieille hotel de type appartement qui date des années 80 avec le même cachet !!! Piscine avec eau verte et peinture décapée par le manque d’entretien.
