The Algarve is the destination of choice again today as we continue to check out the top hotels that offer guests the chance to enjoy waterpark access as part of the package.
The Albufeira Sol Suite Hotel & Spa is a 4* complex that sits in the heart of one of Portugal’s most popular destinations for overseas visitors, and is close to both the famous Old Town and also the nearest beach – where you can relax on the sand and top up the tan.
The friendly atmosphere, wide ranging facilities and peaceful surroundings make the hotel perfect for a family break, with spacious accommodation comprising of a mixture of junior suites and suites.
The All Inclusive resort provides a choice of dining options that include the main buffet and an a la carte restaurant on the poolside, with snacks also available during the day.
Guests have access to both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, including one for children, with plenty of space in which to relax on the many sunbeds that sit poolside.
Entertainment runs both during the day and into the evening, and is designed to cater for all ages – with separate daytime facilities for young children at the kid’s club, which is open for those aged from 4 to 8. There’s also a children’s playground with swings and slides.
Those who want to keep fit can make use of an air conditioned gym, with a spa providing an alternative for those who prefer (probably quite rightly) to simply take it easy whilst away from home.
Guests will also benefit from access for three days fo their trip to the Zoomarine Park, with free shuttle service to and from the park being available.
The water-based theme park includes a splash zone for small children alongside a selection of slides and animal shows – providing entertainment for all the family.
It only serves to increase the appeal of a hotel that, in itself, is worth considering for your time away in the sun.
