Hermosa zona y la habitacion muy comoda
Rui is een fantastische host, doet er alles aan om je verblijf onvergetelijk te maken. Heerlijk groot zwembad, ruime kamer met terras en zitje, zeer schoon en met een goede douche.

Saubere Unterkunft mit schönem Pool und freundlichem Personal. Betten waren gut, Kühlschrank und Fön vorhanden.
Ausstattung sehr dunkel und einfach gehalten.

Really relaxed accommodation. Not that many people can stay here so it’s not overfilled. Good location. Parking space. Overall great!
The staff were super kind and helpful! The facilities were great, and the pool is amazing.
The location is a bit far from things if you don’t have a car.
La pulizia e l’attenzione alla cura della camera
Niente
Tout: accueil et petites attentions du personnel
Rien
Tudo muito bom
Tout était parfait! À seulement 10 minutes à pied de la plage et des restaurants! Super propre! Le propriétaire est vraiment gentil et garde l’endroit super propre! Vraiment un plus d’avoir la piscine en sortant de la chambre, surtout après une longue journée chaude!
Stanza molto grande con terrazzo privato grazioso, pulizia impeccabile e letto molto comodo. A 15min a piedi dalla spiaggia e dal centro di Luz.
Un peu cher sans pt dej mais lieu top, piscine extra et personnel adorable
L’accueil du gérant, la propreté des lieux au top bravo au personnel Un lit King size très appréciable et assez rare La piscine très propre avec des transats confortables
Ce qui m’a le plus embêté a été la baie vitrée de mauvaise qualité car on entendait beaucoup la circulation (même avec des bouchons d’oreilles) et la climatisation qui avait à mon sens besoin d’une révision car l’atmosphère était moite
Todo muy limpio y el personal súper amable y atento
Beautiful setting, friendly helpful staff.
Loved everything.
Le personnel très gentil
Rui was very helpful and accommodating. He gave me great tips as to the local knowledge. It is close to a nice beach and good restaurants
The wifi in our room - we could not connect to it. So there was no fast internet.
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the family owned hotel. The location of the hotel was perfect for us to explore Salema, Luz and Lagos. The warm service and cleanliness are top notch. We felt like guests and not like customers. We highly recommend the stay at the Aurora Hotel.
Well maintained beautiful pool, comfortable spacious room, exceptionally clean, beach/pool towels provided, family, run, friendly staff, loved our private balcony, quiet residential area, wonderful restaurant recommendations, etc.

Ontzettend aardige eigenaar, was zelfs bereid ons op te halen in Monchique wanneer we geen taxi terug konden krijgen. Dacht altijd met ons mee zelfs op de dag van vertrek. Nog nooit zo een schoon hotel gehad. Geen zandkorrel te vinden, of stofjes, zelfs het douche gordijn wordt verschoond. Heerlijk rustige plek, groot zwembad waar altijd bedden beschikbaar zijn.
Niets aan te merken
Habitaciones amplias y limpias, cama muy cómoda, aparcamiento y la zona de la piscina y para tomar el sol.
Está en una zona algo retirada aunque era de fácil acceso en coche
Le café a disposition le matin en self-services es tres agreable. Le personnel tres tres gentil. Service impecable. Super joli hotel.
A simpatia/cortesia dos funcionários.
Não ter pequeno almoço.
Posizione, pulizia, staff gentilissimo, relax.
Het was erg schoon, prachtig groot zwembad waar je heerlijk kon relaxen
De afstand tot de zee is lopend te doen, maar toch wat ver. Daarom dat een scooter/auto of fiets wel handig is
Limpio, tranquilo, ordenado, fácil acceso y aparcamiento gratis, bien conectado.
Las almohadas.
Accueil très serviable et avenant, coin piscine au top, petit services de conso appréciable et café gentiment mis à disposition le matin, le gardien est un vrai plus. Chambre avec balcon, rien de spécial mais idéal pour visiter l’ouest de l’algarve!
Amplia habitación y accesibilidad a la piscina.
Muy limpio, amplio y tranquilidad
La ducha quizás algo más grande
Ideaal plekje, mooie kamer en schone badkamer, ruime kledingkast en heerlijk een eigen koelkast.
Jammer dat het kluisje geen slot had.
Camera este foarte curata si ne-a placut mult faptul ca in fiecare zi s-a facut curat, au fost aranjate lucrurile, patul, ne-au schimbat hartia igienica si prosoapele. In general cazarea arata mai bine decat in poze. Baia nu are mucegai si este foarte curata. Patul este confortabil, pernele nu au fost excelente, dar este o parere personala. Am avut o camera pozitionata mai in spate, de unde puteai iesi direct in curtea interioara cu piscina. A fost liniste, desi daca ai o camera cu privelistea la drumul principal este posibil sa se auda masinile care trec. Cazarea are o parcare generoasa, iar personalul a fost amabil. Recomand!
We had a great stay! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean, and our room had a nice balcony. The swimming pool area was beautiful, with plenty of sunbeds available. We also appreciated having glasses, mugs, plates, and cutlery in the room, as well as a refrigerator. There was also plenty of parking available. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend it.
The peaceful position and the beautiful pool side.
Nothing.
Struttura super pulita, con piscina e staff super cordiale
Piscina
Struttura con arredi un po datati
Sehr freundlich ,sind sehr spät angereist wurden angerufen um unsere Ankunftszeit zu bestätigen damit jemand am empang ist.Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Poolanlage top, zimmer top und sauber, kein Schimmel im bad wie bei anderen hotels im umkreis
Very clean everywhere and a nice pool and outdoor terrace (not used). Bed was reasonably comfortable as were the pillow. Park was good and free.
Location was a long walk into the centre and uphill back! Rooms a bit basic and not facilities and more like an series of apartments. No bar or food on site and no breakfast
It was so clean and the gentleman who greeted us was excellent.
No bar or restaurant and not close to a shop to but a basic like water
Das Zimmer, die hübsche, gepflegte Anlage. Tip Top.
Der Weg ins Zentrum ohne Auto, vorallemam Abend
Czysty i spory basen i bardzo miła obsługa!
Tolles Hotel mit einem wunderschönen Pool mit vielen Liegestühlen, im Schatten, in der Sonne....alles dabei und dabei supersauber. Das Zimmer war mit Kühlschrank und Wäscheständer ausgestattet, dazu Gläser und Besteck. Am Morgen wurde Kaffee angeboten, den konnten wir im Freien genießen. Das Zentrum von Luz mit vielen Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und dem Strand ist in ca. 12-15 min zu Fuß erreicht, eine Pizzeria sogar nur in 8-10 min. Auf dem Fishermanstrail ist dies eine tolle Auszeit zwischen den beiden letzten, nicht so weiten Etappen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Super freundlich, toller Pool, schöner Garten
Etwas nah an der Straße, aber nachts ruhig
Really nice pool. Friendly staff. I stayed one night while hiking the Fisherman's Trail. It was perfect for my needs.
Le réceptionniste est très accueillant et gentil
Pas de commodité pour la vaisselle sale
Great service, spacious room with a nice balcony
Krasny udrzovany a velkoryse reseny penzion. Kazdy pokoj ma velky balkon s posezenim, velke pohodlne postele, varna konvice a lednicka na pokoji, v recepci ranni kava a caj. Mily pan na recepci. Poloha na kopci s vyhlidkou na ocean.
Der Inhaber ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.
Exceptionally clean. Friendly staff. Good location. Nice size pool.
Traditionelle kakler over det hele, mild og venlig og sød vært. Dejligt sted, kan klart anbefales. Roligt kvarter med skøn poolområde.
Ingenting, alt godt
Zimmer Pool Personal
Keurig netjes en stijlvol. Heerlijke bedden, ruime kamer.
Bult oplopen na een bezoekje aan het centrum🥴uber genomen
Lovely building, very friendly host . Clean and well maintained facilities.
A little bit of a walk to Luz but not a problem.
Beautiful rooms and a very quiet pool area. The host was very helpful and even made coffee for me In the morning that I drank by the pool.

Very friendly staff. Super clean room. Room has balcony. Rooms was well furnished.
The property was beautiful! The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable! We would highly recommend this place.
Sehr netter Gastgeber, konnten schöne Unterkunft früher beziehen, sehr sauber (auch Balkonmöbel), Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank
L'emplacement est superbe, la chambre suite était magnifique et très grande, on se sent bien tout de suite dans cet établissement et le couple qui s'en occupe est très gentil. C'est propre, apaisant, parfait pour des vacances.
Balkon en de ruime kamer
Pænt, rent, balkon, dejlig pool og pool område, værten hjælpsom og meget høflig
Det ligger lidt i udkanten af byen i et villakvarter ud til en vej med en smule trafik støj, men ellers meget fredeligt og roligt. Kan anbefales at have bil for at kunne køre ind til byen og stranden.
Schöne Anlage in ruhiger Umgebung mit großem Poolbereich und gutem Service. Unser Zimmer wurde jeden Tag perfekt sauber gemacht, wirklich super. Auch Parkplätze sind direkt neben den Hotel dabei. Für uns ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für einen Urlaub an der Algarve.
Sehr schönes, großes und sauberes Zimmer mit Balkon und Ausblick auf die gepflegte Grünanlage und das Schwimmbad. Empfehlenswert!
Desayuno no había, la limpieza estaba bien pero podía mejorarse en la zona iscina pue en los laterales de la piscina estaba un poco verde. El sitio muy tranquilo.
Por el precio no entrar desayuno.
Super vriendelijke mensen en het gehele complex was super schoon en rook fris. Leuke locatie voor wat rust maar dichtbij het strand en restaurants.
Goed hotel. Ruime kamers. We verbleven er tijdens het wandelen van de Fisherman's trail.
Reken 20 minuten om naar het strand te wandelen.
Muy buena ubicación Sin desayuno
Muy cerrada la habitacion
Wir haben 6 Nächte im Aurora Sol übernachtet und waren rundum zufrieden. Von der Kontaktaufnahme, zum persönlichen check in lief bereits alles bestens. Die Sauberkeit dieses kleinen Hotels ist herausragend. Die täglich gereinigten Zimmer, sowie der Pool und alles rundherum. Es gibt kein Apeisenangebot vor Ort dennoch haben wir jeden Morgen auf dem Balkon ein Frühstück genossen, denn: - es wird morgens in der Lobby Kaffee angeboten - die Zimmer haben einen Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher und sogar Teller, Tassen, Gläser und Besteck Nach Luz hinein gibt es mehrere Wege zu laufen, die ca. 20 - 25 Min dauern. Ein Auto ist trotzdem empfehlenswert, denn an der Küste entlang gibt es viel zu entdecken. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team für den gelungenen Urlaubsstart und den erholsamen Aufenthalt.
Hemos estado 3 días y sin duda volveremos. Súper limpio todo, habitación muy confortable y tranquilo Sin duda volveremos. Muy recomendable.
Nos ha encantado el sitio. La habitación súper confortable, colchón perfecto y la limpieza impecable. Muy tranquilo y el personal muy amable y encantador. Nos ha encantado sin duda volveremos. Totalmente recomendable y lo que quieres es tranquilidad y confort.
Geräumige, schöne Zimmer in guter, ruhiger Lage. Kaffee in der Lobby am Morgen.
De grootte van de kamer, het privé terras, de koelkast en de receptionist! Ook nog eens verse koffie in de ochtend! Heel erg goed!
Afstand naar strand was wel wat ver lopen - 20 minuten- maar dat is het dan ook wel
The room and entire facility was spotless. I felt so relaxed and happy. Well maintained property. Staff friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Not too many tourist, just 11 minutes drive from Lagos. The entire area was great if you're looking for relaxation but also if you want to do sport and seek entertainment. Thank you Aurora-Sol for making our stay exceptional.
Allt var helt perfekt! Väldigt fina rum och poolområdet var trevligt med massor av solstolar och mysigt lounge område. Personalen var väldigt trevlig och service minded. Närmsta byn med massor av restauranger var max 15 minuters promenad ifrån vilket var super. Det fanns även en väldigt trevlig pizzeria med annat mat bara 5 minuter ifrån. Finns absolut ingenting att klaga på!! Rekommenderar starkt det här boendet :).
It was such a wonderful location! There’s parking available. The place was super clean, and the room smelled amazing. The host was incredibly kind and approachable—so sweet that he got up immediately to help us with our very heavy luggage! The women who cleaned the rooms were also very lovely. The garden was very pleasant, although the pool water was a bit cold—but we were there in October, so maybe that’s why. Apart from that, I had a really wonderful time here. Thank you!
Ein sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Hotel in besonderer Sauberkeit. Das schön bemöbelte und dekorierte Poolareal ist großzügig gestaltet und nachts romantisch beleuchtet. Die unteren Räumlichkeiten sind durch die Mauer und die gepflegten Pflanzen vom Straßenlärm geschützt.
Very kind and thoughtful staff. The room and bedding were very comfortable; there was a lovely private terrace where one could sit and which also had a small clothes drying rack (which was very convenient). Nice location, easy free parking, nice TV and streaming options for relaxing at night.
Marvelous facility with a superb host. It’s a beautiful hotel that is slightly strenuous walkable to the beach at Luz and the restaurants. I highly recommend.
La zona de la piscina, la amplitud de la habitación
Un poco lejos del centro del pueblo y el baño poco modernizado. Es hora de que pongan mamparas en lugar de cortinas en la ducha
De rust de gastvrijheid
Hyggeligt pool område. Mulighed for at købe drikkevarer. Gratis kaffe om morgenen. De var hjælpsomme med parkering af cykler i kælderen.
Sehr freundliches Personal, Pool, Große Handtücher, Extra Poolhandtücher, Extra Geschirr im Zimmer, Wäscheständer mit Klammern, Funktionierender Fön, Betten hübsch hergerichtet
Kühlschrank im Zimmer brummelt in Abständen
Kleinschalig. Heerlijk bed. Super schone kamers. Fijn balkon. Ijskast en serviesgoed op de kamer zodat je op het balkon kan ontbijten. Prachtig zwembad met ligbedden in de zon en een lounge deel in de schaduw. Ook zwembad area is mega schoon. Ontzettend aardige beheerder die tips geeft over de omgeving. Elke dag wordt de kamer schoongemaakt en alles keurig neergelegd. De lokatie is top. Op een kwartier loopafstand diverse restaurants en het strand. Met de auto talloze andere stranden en plaatsen aan te doen. Het voelen ons hier helemaal thuis. Graag tot volgend jaar!
Bij het zwembad hoor je de weg een beetje maar op de kamers niet.
The pool was great, even though we only used it once. The staff are very helpful. Coffee in the morning was a nice touch. A/C worked well, very clean, house keeping everyday. Close to Luz/Lagos and beaches for all your needs. Nice to have parking as well. Also the Bed was awesome.
Could have used an iron for clothes.
This was easy to find, the parking area large, and the pool was well maintained and clean. The hosts were welcoming and helpful.
Lovely property, nice rooms, beautiful pool area, comfortable beds. Easy parking! Friendly, helpful staff! Bright and airy rooms. Would stay here again!
Super Zimmer, mit Kühlschrank und etwas Geschirr. Morgens gab es gratis Kaffee. Am Pool hat man immer eine freie Liege gefunden. Die Anlage war allgemein sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Die angrenzende Straße war relativ stark befahren.
A lovely relaxing place, everything just perfect.
Nothing at all.
Ruime kamer, goede service, heerlijke buitenruimte met zwembad, rustige omgeving
Free coffee in the morning. Very friendly host. Very quiet.
