Hotel Pinhal Do Sol
Pool and tennis court six minutes from Loulé
About this stay
Hotel Pinhal Do Sol covers more ground than most of the town's guesthouses, with an outdoor pool and a tennis court alongside a bar, restaurant and an all-inclusive option for travellers who'd rather not think about meals during the stay. Simple, straightforward rooms keep the focus on the grounds rather than the interiors, and free parking and an airport shuttle option cover the practical side of getting around. Central Loulé is a six-minute taxi ride, close enough for an old-town day trip without staying in the middle of it. Monteiro's Snack-bar/Restaurant, nine minutes on foot, adds a casual option beyond the hotel's own restaurant. Accessible rooms and full-service laundry round out a stay built for families and longer visits.

Our take
This suits families wanting a pool, a tennis court and an all-inclusive option without staying directly in central Loulé. The 3-star, 7.4 rating suggests a solid, unpretentious stay rather than a polished resort. Travellers wanting to walk to the Castelo de Loulé or the Mercado Municipal should book closer to the old town instead, since this sits a short taxi ride out.
- Try the all-inclusive option if planning to spend most days by the pool and tennis court.
- Book the six-minute taxi into central Loulé for at least one old-town day.
- Walk to Monteiro's for a casual meal as a change from the hotel restaurant.

Why guests love itThe tennis court alongside the outdoor pool gave the kids something to do beyond swimming, which made the all-inclusive option worth choosing over cooking or eating out every night. The six-minute taxi into central Loulé worked well as a single day trip rather than a daily habit. Monteiro's, nine minutes on foot, made for an easy change of pace from the hotel's own restaurant a couple of nights in.
