Read MoreIt is easy to see why the Velamar receives so many excellent reviews from satisfied customers. The peaceful village setting is largely reflected in the tranquil and relaxed atmosphere of the hotel. There are excellent local restaurants, cafes and bars in the local area and two lovely beaches are about 20 minutes walk away. The hotel staff are utterly charming and delightful, notably the reception team, Joao and Mauro on the bar, and the room cleaners. The rooms are stylish with a modern blue/ grey colour palette and very clean, and the included breakfast is very good, especially when you can sit on the outside terrace enjoying the sea views in the sun. We had just a couple of minor gripes. Rooms are just a little too spartan and could be enlivened with some local Portuguese art and ceramics. The room pictures were bizarre to say the least, resembling the kind of thing you get when you buy empty picture frames from a chain store! The sound proofing was great at shutting out exterior noise, but poor at excluding interior noise; in Room 1, at times we were disturbed by conversations by the lifts, through the walls (especially in the bathroom), and noise from the public rooms (glass bottles in the bar and people playing pool, sometimes very late at night). Our main gripe though was, as other clients have commented; anti social behaviour from single sex groups. Though it is claimed the hotel does not accept Stag or hen groups, they clearly do. One group of middle aged women proved to be particularly loud and uncouth during our stay, at times selfishly monopolising the pool, bar or breakfast room. The hotel is quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of Albufeira, totally unsuitable for large, loutish groups who want to party. Clearly no one is happy; the groups who have to be asked to be quiet, the hotel staff who clearly feel uncomfortable with the bad behaviour or the guests on holiday who just want to soak up the sun, tranquil atmosphere and Algarve charm.

Già dalle foto ci sembrava una bellissima struttura ma da vicino abbiamo avuto la conferma! Stanze grandi e luminose. Pulite in ogni angolo. Personale gentile e disponibile.

Read MoreThe hotel has only been open for 2 months and so it is beautifully presented, fantastic central location and a sense of relaxation. The staff were very friendly, particularly around the poolside restaurant. There were however a few problems that we noticed, which could easily be rectified to make this a truly 5 star hotel it is aspiring to be. When we arrived our tv hadn't even been programmed, it took 24 hours of asking before this was rectified. The safe still had the cable hanging out the back, with no where to plug it in, the table on our balcony was dangerous as the top hadn't been fixed to the base. I narrowly missed burning myself when I lent on it with a cup of tea and the table top flipped towards me. The rooms were not cleaned every day which was a shame as the floors are white and so look quite dirty quickly. The noise from the street outside is very loud until 3am, the hotel provide ear plugs but we only had one pair in our room. The room had a great coffee machine with a space for 4 pods, only 2 of these were filled, and if the room wasnt cleaned these were not replaced. The fire alarm went off in the night due to guests smoking in their rooms, but the staff were sat at reception on the 8th floor and not letting guests know that there wasnt an issue, some of which were leaving the hotel looking very scared, a better plan needs to be established if this happens again. Our bed was huge, but the metal frame needed to be tightened or something as it squeaked everytime one of us moved in the night, my husband had little sleep and I had asked the hotel if someone could address this problem but unfortunately never did. When we checked in there was an issue with getting our room key and so they let us in our room and brought this along when it had been issued, however due to the distraction we were not provided with any of the information about the hotel or leaflets about booking activities around the area. I do really want this hotel to do really well as it was such a relaxing place to stay , and break from our busy lives, just a few teething problems need to be resolved to make it a truly five star experience. We would definitely love to stay again, especially when the spa is finished. Read Less

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur cet hôtel au cours de notre visite de l'Algarve. Nous sommes arrivés un peu tard et avons directement réservé la chambre sur place avec une très charmante et très accueillante réceptionniste. Elle nous a tout expliqué en détails: piscines, horaires du spa, petit-déjeuner... la chambre double est spacieuse, propre, avec un joli balcon et une très bonne literie. Le petit-déjeuner est complet et avec un délicieux jus d'orange frais. Le temps était fantastique au mois de février et avons pu profiter des extérieurs et d'une baignade dans la seconde piscine qui était chauffée. Nous avons également demandé à rendre la chambre une heure plus tard, sans aucun problème. La cerise sur le gâteau: une bouteille de vin pétillant et des fruits avec du chocolat dans la chambre, le second jour. Nous n'avons rien à redire, tout était parfait !

Very good breakfast, pool area very clean, great pool lots of beds but towels on too many not used, no fault of hotel just selfish tourists. Good area for bars and dining not too mad but "the strip" is very lively 1k away, excellent hotel would definitely recommend, nice friendly staff in the main, some people smile more than others? does anyone know the Portuguese for "Fog" because we saw plenty of it in late June but it did burn off, the path / STEPS to beach can be arduous so take your time be very careful of the sea on this beach has many rocks and is very rough on weak swimmers.

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.

The staff were friendly and efficient and immediately upgraded us to a suite at the back of the hotel. This was a great room, with a good refrigerator, comfortable bed and plenty of room, including a kitchen. However, the move was perhaps inspired by a need to get us away from the disco that operated across the road. This was very noisy all night till it closed at 7.00 am. The staff efficiently organised a transfer to the airport and found us a great fish restaurant. I would recommend this hotel. Read Less

Read MoreOn initial check in we were provided a room on the ground floor next to the lift and no view from the balcony, obviously this was very disappointing, however the check in staff were helpful and managed to move us to a higher floor but it was at an extra cost which was not entirely ideal. Once this had been sorted I could not fault the hotel, the facilities were brilliant very modern and clean, the breakfast was delicious with a very wide range of choice and we even ate on the evenings where the food was to a high standard and very affordable. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The staff had even provided my girlfriend with a surprise birthday cake and free cocktail which was greatly appreciated and made our stay that extra bit special. The bar and restaurant staff in particular were very friendly and attentitive. The facilities were excellent and the surrounding area was ideal as it was not too close to the mad strip but had other bars and restaurants around more suited to families and couples. The old town was a 5 min taxi ride and less than 5 euro. One of the only faults I would give is that at the pool area, which is very nice, all the preferred spots for sun loungers were always reserved by guests putting towels out in the morning despite not using the loungers until later in the afternoon. This meant there was often empty loungers in the good spots that had umberrellas for shade that went unused most the day just because guests had put their towels down. Guests should not able to 'reserve' loungers with towels all day if they are not being used. Overall we thought this was a very high end hotel and very welcoming with very friendly staff who made our stay one of the best in Portugal. Read Less

I’ve seen some poor feedback on here that I quite frankly find ridiculous, I personally received comments from 4 couples saying we made there weekend else it would of been boring for them, we received no negative vibes or sign of complaint I spoke to staff and asked if we were ok and they suggested it was good to have us.
The hotel is amazing the staff exceptional and the couples there didn’t prevent our enjoyment
I give this hotel the complete thumbs up

We were in a studio apartment and the room was lovely and spacious! Room cleaned every day with fresh towels, breakfast lovely with great variety, and all staff were very helpful and friendly!
Great location with 2 shops across the road, and new town strip just under 10 minute walk and old town around 20 minute walk although quick taxi for around €6! As for nightclub across the road although we were out most nights the nights we did stay in even though we could hear a bit of noise it didn’t really bother us! Pool area always clean and tidy, pool a bit cold but didn’t bother us as it was nice when it got too warm!
Only downside would be there was no kettle or toaster for self catering and there was one long mirror in the room but had no plugs near it so would advise people to bring extension lead but neither of these things were a big deal or affected our stay!

Overall we had a great stay and for the reasonable price of the hotel I have to say it’s a great choice of location in Albufeira with all the necessary amenities you would expect or a 4 star hotel.
The hotel is located between Santa Eulalia beach and the main strip in Albufeira, with a short taxi ride to the Old Town between €6/7 euros. The hotel is of a modern design but could probably do with a little bit of TLC here & then with in the room we stopped. There were no issues getting a sun lounger around the pool although busier over the weekend.
Many reviews have complained of rowdy stag/hen groups during their stay but we had no such issues. Although it does beg the question if you are anti larges groups etc why would you chose Albufeira for a relaxing break?
. Food and drinks are good enough in the hotel, €4 for a beer and roughly €8 for a burger although outside the hotel food and drink are half the price.
Nearby eateries are poor, stack them high well the cheap types accommodating stag/hens more than anything apart from a nearby by Italian we found. Id recommend this he old town for nicer meals etc.
Ultimately no faults or complaints from our group during our stay! Read Less

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.
Around the pool was quiet and we respected the other guests. To be honest after a night of cheap sugary shots and too much vodka, the quiet was a welcome break needed for us all.

The hotel is spotless and the rooms are cleaned every morning to a high standard.
The pool area is lovely and your never fighting for sun beds. There's some toliets and showers next to the pool so if you check out and your flight is later you can still use all the facilities and lounge around the pool side and grab a shower..there's also a luggage room too.
The rooms are lovely and the roof terrace is amazing with some spectacular views...defiantly worth a look.
The food is really good. Breakfast is lovely and there's something for everyone even if your really fussy. We went half board so the evening meal you pick from three choices from a set menu...it was amazing.
The staff are polite and helpful and arranged our transfer to the airport no problem at all.
The beach is exsessable from the back gate near the pool you have to use your key card which is a good thing. You simply follow the road down to some steps then your on the beautiful beach.
The strip is literally 5 minutes up the road where your find bars and restaurants galore.
I'm sad to be going home but I will 100% be staying here again...it was just lovely. Read Less

Overall it was a good holiday. Positives were a very clean hotel and the staff were all very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The location was pretty good although too close to The Strip for us. About a 25 min walk to the old town which was much better. We walked along the main road to the old town but were told about another route where you could walk along the boardwalks on the beach which was much nicer. Plenty of restaurants to chose from. The negatives were not enough storage in our room just a small hanging space. That’s it! So more or less lived out of suitcase. Not enough sun beds at times for the size of hotel. So unfortunately had to reserve our beds early in the morning. Which we really didn’t want to do. Be warned this hotel allows stag and hen parties so this can be a bit rowdy at times. Smoking allowed in all outside areas even where you can eat. Not ideal. Showers ran hot and cold which was a shock to the system!! No courtesy room or shower available if you have a late return flight. Read Less

Mention spéciale pour le restaurant: plats originaux, cuisine simple mais raffinée, quantités raisonnables et suffisantes, serveurs très accueillants et souriants.
La plage est à 5 min à pieds, centre ville accessible en 5 min par taxi (entre 5 et 6€ la course).
Chambre spacieuse avec tout le confort nécessaire. Personnel très agréable.
Petit bémol pour la piscine non chauffée, donc difficile d'y entrer malgré la chaleur ambiante. Read Less
