Rooms were big and clean with hangers, bath towels and they provide beach towels. Breakfast on the terrace was something we looked forward to every morning. Two amazing beaches within a 15 minute walk. Ten minute drive to the old town and new town. Drinks were lovely around the pool. Staff were excellent couldn’t do enough to help. Will be returning.

Area reasonably quiet, restuarants and bars very near the Hotel.Supermarket 10 mins walk, as for the beaches,sone reviews say 15 mins(must have been sir Mo), it took us half a hour to get to the two closest beaches.
two hen parties came while we were there, one after the other, definitely not the Hotel for Hen Parties,quiet Hotel,no were near any Hen/Stag type entertainment.
Only one small gripe, not with the Hotel but Jet2 - booked a room only to find when we arrived that there was no balcony, rooms with balconys cost extra 30E, not the Hotels fault but Come on Jet2 make it clearer when booking please!!
Weather lovely, but found there was a cold breeze at night,which was suprising due to the fact it was mid summer.
would I stay again in this Hotel --YES.
would I Recommend this Hotel ---YES. Read Less

Rooms were spacious and very clean. Bar prices were very good €2 for a wine €3 for large Estrella beer. Bar food was also very good. Pool was on the small side but we always managed to get a sunbed.
The hotel was near to bars and restaurants and the beach was about 15 min walk away.
We chose this place for its quiet location and had a lovely relaxing holiday. Thank you to the Velamar Hotel and all the staff. We will certainly return. Read Less

Very pleasant stay! Super helpful and friendly staff. Clean and lovely rooms.

Lovely and quiet of an evening possibly due to carpeted hallway!! Pool is very small and so quiet out there you feel that everyone can hear you having a conversation! Although website says no hen parties there were a couple there which was not much fun when you fancy a lazy afternoon around the pool, as they were so loud and talking filth which is fine in private but I don't think everyone wanted to hear all about their
sex lives!!! Breakfast was nice quite a lot of choice. If you prefer the beach it is fantastic but its a good half hour walk away. There is one closer but not as nice as the big one. Decent collection of bars and restaurants but again twenty minutes walk away although there are a few within 10 minutes walk. On our last day as we had an evening flight we paid 5 euros each to hire a room for an hour to shower and change. Overall a nice hotel just a bit too far away from beach and bars in my opinion.

The pool area is small but very nice. At busy times it is hard to get a sunbed.
The hotel let itself down slightly though. On two consecutive weekends, the area we used to relax in, was taken over by large groups, of stags, hens and birthday parties.
The problem with these large groups is that they want to be together at all times. Is it too much to ask that they respect other guests? Quite honestly, I don't understand why they weren't in hotels nearer the Strip - there is nothing for them in Olhos d' Agua.
Had it not been for this oversight, I'd have given the hotel five, and I really think the staff deserve it. The management need to watch those big bookings though, it is definitely something that would put me off going back. Read Less

We checked in late on Sun night and were given a lovely, quiet balcony room (108) overlooking the swimming pool. The room was spacious with a huge bed, a lovely en-suite bathroom and all the other facilities you need including a small fridge/ minibar, flat screen TV ( with loads of English channels including BBC and ITV) and tea and coffee making facilities. Some reviews have mentioned that the hotel has a problem with "noise" internally but we honestly didn't notice it during our stay. Breakfast is served in the dining room on the third floor which has floor to ceiling windows on three sides and an outside seating area. There was a large selection of hot and cold food on offer each day with choices available to satisfy anyone. All the staff we dealt with were lovely and helpful and worked extremely hard.
The hotel also provides you with a beach/ pool towel to be used for the duration of your stay. We didn't really use the pool but did visit the two lovely beaches near to the hotel ( turn left out of the hotel for Olhos de Agua and right for Maria Luisa) which are both a 15 minute stroll away. There are a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Turn right out of the hotel and you'll find The Three Marias which offers a three course set menu including a drink for 12.5 euros per person, excellent value for money!
I recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Read Less

We arrived late morning, and the staff were most helpful, allowing us to check in pretty much immediately .
We had booked a ‘ standard room’ which did not have a balcony , for a 3 night stay , this was not an issue . The room was huge , lovely comfy beds , great quality bed linens and towels , excellent toiletries in the shower room , mini bar , tv with English channels and SPOTLESSLY clean !
The hotel has a small garden with a pretty pool and an outdoor bar area , plenty of sun beds , the pool though , was freezing cold !
There is an indoor bar area too , with a happy hour , breakfast is served on the top floor, with the opportunity to sit outside , as we did to enjoy the views .
Excellent breakfast selection , good coffee, fresh orange juice , fresh fruit selection , cold meats and cheeses , cereals ,fabulous bread and pastry offerings , as well as the ‘ usual suspects ‘ , bacon , sausages , beans , scrambled eggs etc .
The staff here were delightful , friendly , helpful and welcoming .
Just outside the hotel , turning either left or right , will lead you to a choice of bars and restaurants , and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the lovely beach area too !
The only slight downside is , the road it’s situated on is a relatively busy road , not at the time , but there is traffic noise, in our room , without a balcony, the triple glazing was very , very effective and we could not hear a thing, if you opened the window though , it could be heard at times , but don’t let this put you off, we would certainly return in a heartbeat !

We arrived early but check in wasn't until 2. The lady checked to see if our room was ready but it was still being cleaned. We waited about 15 minutes then were given access to our room, great customer service. Room was lovely 217, over looking the pool area and was everything we wanted. Buffet breakfast was nice, cereal fruit hot buffet , pastries and yoghurt. Unfortunately due to the corona virus measures were put in place, and on our last day restrictions were put in place to restrict 10 people in the dining room at any one time with tables being a distance apart. The pool area was also closed.
As our flight was late evening I asked if we could keep our room for an extra 4 hrs. The reception lady let us due to the situation at no extra cost.
Area is very nice and safe. A few nice bars and eateries which are very reasonable.
Will definitely return to this hotel. Fantastic staff and great customer service. Keep up the fabulous work. Read Less

Read MoreWe had swopped our timeshare for a hotel close to the strip but when we arrived it was disgusting so went onto Tripadvisor/Booking.com and were lucky enough to find this gem and they could accomodate us for 7 nights! From the time of our arrival to our checking out, we found everything about this hotel amazing! During our stay we received a parking ticket for 5 euros which we were unable to pay as we could not access the system being an international visitor - we asked the hotel for assistance and they even offered to pay it for us as the fine would have increased to 150 euros if not paid within 3 days!
The breakfasts were lovely - more than adequate and staff in the restaurant always pleasant and helpful.
Our room was lovely - it was on the road, but we never heard any noise - we were more than happy.
This hotel is way more than a 3 star establishment and we would stay again. Our only tiny negative is that the walls are quite thin and you can hear conversations, TV, hairdryers etc in the other rooms. Read Less

Set in a quiet area 6km from Old Town Albufeira.
Rooms cleaned daily, this very clean hotel has lovely rooms and terrific and friendly staff.
On either side of the hotel there are a few restaurant/bars and their prices have to be seen to be believed. Two of them offer a 4 course meal with wine or a beer for 12.50! A snack bar right beside the hotel sells a pint for 2 euros and a glass of wine for 1. These places close at about 11 or 11:30 pm as does the hotel bar.
Less than a 20 minute walk away will take you to the beach and the main part of Olhos de Agua. Plenty of good bars and restaurants with later closing times.
For 2.35 on the bus or an 8 euro taxi ride you can go to Old Town Albufeira with its heaving nightlife. there's something there for eveybody.

From check in till check out, I cannot fault the place whatsoever. An immaculately spotless place with a lovely pool and bar area that does great bar snacks in the afternoon and a great breakfast area with stunning views in the morning. The hotel is situated 5 mins from the strip in a taxi and 10 minutes from the old town. There are some very nice restaurants very close to the hotel, the Indian and Thai places the standouts. There is also a great bar only a few minutes walk from the hotel called the New York Bar that must be tried! All in all, it was one of the best holidays my girlfriend and I had and we will have no hesitation in coming back to this hotel when we return to Albufeira. Thanks again! Read Less

The staff are curtious and efficient in what they all do. However the cleaners were not on parr this visit, bath tub not cleaned until Wednesday when we must have had a different clesner as the whole bathroom and bedroom had been thoroughly cleaned however Thursday was back to a basic wipe around-a bit disapointing, but didnt spoil our holiday.
A suggestion for breakfast room to have 2 coffee machines as always a que for this.
The hotel bar is very reasonable for drinks and even a pool table.
Never used the pool in all the 15 years visiting this hotel, however you can hire beach/pool towels for 3€ each and each change-saves suitcase space.
Car park is safe and secure with a code to get in and a sensor to get out.
All in all a very resonably priced hotel for a week in the sunshine. Read Less

The air con works well. You don't need a degree in technology to operate the free safe.
Breakfast fantastic, served from 7.30 to 10.30 am.
TV has lots of English speaking channels. There were quite a few English books left behind by other holiday makers. Look on the tables near the lifts on each floor and in the bookcase near the bar.
The only thing missing for me was a clothes drying rack on the balcony.
We saw only 3 children in the hotel and other than the small pool, there's not much for them to do.
Afternoon tea can be purchased. It was OK but needs some refinements.

Read MoreWe have visited this hotel several times in the past, but for one reason or another, not for the last five years. In the meantime, the hotel had become a boutique hotel. After parking the car in the hotel car park, we were checked in quickly and efficiently by the staff and supplied with electronic room cards that worked first time, every time. Not always the case with some hotel’s room cards.
In the bedroom the air-con worked well and was fully adjustable. The bedroom was of a good size, as was the fully equipped en-suite. Tea and coffee making facilities were all available and a very good choice of TV channels to watch, along with a good internet connection.
One or two issues arose, the most noticeable was that the bathroom hand basin was stuck closed, that meant that after the first use of it, one was left with a basin full of dirty water and no way to get rid of it. Upon notifying reception, the matter was quickly sorted while we were having breakfast. Another issue was that the water flow into the basin was very slow, hardly more than a trickle. This did not appear to be improved over the course of our stay.
The breakfast was comprehensive, as it has been in the past, but the coffee making machine while it offers quite a range of coffees, needs to use a better brand of coffee in my opinion. The breakfast room is located on the top floor and affords uninterrupted panoramic views of the sea and countryside. You can enjoy your breakfast inside the room, or, on the terrace just outside.
Albufeira, with all that it offers, is a quick trip of 6km from the hotel and there are paid car parks that will enable you to walk directly into the middle of town. At 1 euro an hour, that’s inexpensive parking.
We would like to say that all the staff were most pleasant and eager to help. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. Read Less

First of all the staff from the guys on reception to the cleaners to the bar staff couldn't do enough for you. The hotel is located not far from the beach which is worth the 10min walk,If you visit the beach call into the Sleep Donkey lovely food and fantastic service,The restaurants close to the hotel especially the Thai restaurant to the right of the hotel and the pizzeria across the road are the standout favourites. The breakfast selection and the views from the breakfast veranda are amazing. We travelled to Loule on the Saturday with its markets and beautiful buildings it's worth the visit. Myself and my wife are already planning are next holiday to the velamar hotel Read Less
