The hotel is very clean and modern, a lovely swimming pool area with bar serving a good range of food and drinks.
The buffet breakfast also has a great range of options.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and sorted us out when our transfer let us down.
The hotel is located a short walk from a beach, and a few nice bars serving until late.
If I come back to Albufeira I would definitely ayah here again. Read Less

Read MoreHotel lovely. Very clear in all areas of hotel, comfiest beds we've ever had on holiday, all staff friendly and excellent to deal with, pool small but adequate to cool off, prices for snacks and drinks at pool bar very reasonable, lovely rooftop breakfast area, free safe and fridge in room, supermarket 3 mins away 4/5 nice restaurants on doorstep, olhos beach and little bars at least 20 min walk away, pool towels provided by the hotel, maybe the only slight downside of hotel is soundproofing could be better between rooms and floors depending who your neighbours are, would definitely go back to this hotel but would probably try for a room on the 3rd floor, if you choose this hotel I've no doubt you will not be disappointed.

Our first visit to Portugal and we enjoyed it very much. We arrived at the hotel at about 9.30pm. Luckily we had our Sat Nav so managed to find the way fairly easily.
The staff on the reception were very helpful and we checked into room 113. The room albeit a little on the small side, had everything you needed and a small balcony with table and 2 chairs. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The beds extremely comfortable, slept like a log all week.
The breakfast was a mixture of continental and cooked breakfast. My partner who had the cooked breakfast the first couple of mornings was very disappointed. The bacon was some sort of streaky overcooked ham slices ( Not good quality bacon) the sausages were the cheapest around and he thinks the scrambled egg was powdered egg. I found the continental breakfast fairly good and enough choice.
We were on half board and the 'Chef's sample menu' in the restaurant was on another level. The food was excellent and very imaginative, could not fault it all. The restaurant staff were excellent, very professional, including the young lady (with glasses) who only started the first/second day we were there.
The only minor point (which did not affect us, was that you need a car to get out and about.The hotel runs a mini bus down to town about 15 mins away, but the last bus back was 5.30? I think.
All in all a great week and would certainly come back. Read Less

Read MoreFantastic hotel, this was our 4th family holiday here and it did not disappoint. The hotel is modern, spacious and clean. Our room was excellent, decorated to high a standard, again exceptionally clean, air con was faultless and the bed was absolutely massive (and comfortable). The grounds and main pool were superb - the area around the pool would have benefited from a few extra umbrellas to shade the midday sun and some of the gym equipment was looking a bit tired. The staff were supremely helpful and accomodating - particularly Ana Felix who assisted with our booking and room choice and the main barman who employed our son to help making drinks. The food in the restaurant was to a very high standard from a fixed menu and in a very comfortable dining environment - one thing is that every year we have been it is always a bit of surprise if it will be the fixed menu or buffet.
In summary: absolutely superb and we will be back. Read Less

Room was very small however-just enough space to walk around the bed. Shower was fabulous with a massive shower head and great water pressure. Pool area is lovely and relaxing however we found the music quite loud and could have been turned down slightly. All the staff in the poolside restaurant were very friendly and professional. We didn’t include breakfast in our package and ate here 2 mornings-it was nice if not a bit pricey at €12 per person however to eat in some of the local restaurants for breakfast it was similar money. Coffee machine wouldn’t be to our tastes. The bean bag loungers and indeed the double bed style loungers were very comfortable. We used the spa which we were led to believe was complimentary as we received passes at check in only to be charged €15 each at check out.wasnt worth €15 each-very small area. Hotel is within walking distance of the old town so ideally located however the noise from bar street and the square is heard in the rooms quite clearly. There are ear plugs provided and maybe a lower floor room might not be as bad. We were on the 7th floor. We had lunch in the restaurant on 2 days which was lovely. Would stay here again for the cleanliness, relaxation and location. However if the hotel was busier getting a lounger may prove difficult but your only a 5 min walk from the beach. Also special mention to Oleksinky I think is his name- the bar man at ground level - makes fabulous cocktails and so friendly!!! Read Less

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 time and would definitely recommend to anyone and stay again ourselves 🙂 Read Less

The only two negatives that I could come up with were - the noise from the hotel bar as they are playing music. Some of it we could hear in our room. And the second is that the rooftop terrace no longer operates as it is shown in the pictures.
We also went to a close 5 star hotel for breakfast and other occasion and we believe we prefered this hotel over the 5 star resort. Last, but not least, the beach is very close by and so are the restaurants. Read Less

Great Location Newly built hotel in a great location near to the beach, restaurants and bars. Great customer service and a outstanding rooftop pool. The rooms were very clean and have excellent strong showers. Would definitely stay again if given the chance

POSITIVES:
Hotel is pretty smart and well looked after.
The staff are all lovely (John behind the bar is a real asset to this place & deserves a special mention!).
Virus Milho bar next to hotel (turn right after leaving hotel) is wonderful-a friendly little suntrap with €1 pints & wine!
A BEAUTIFUL beach is a 15 min walk away & well worth the trip.
Cheap supermarket to left of hotel (10 min walk).
Breakfast is spot on, plenty of choices.
NEGATIVES:
Pool is a little crowded & sunbeds rarely available (unless you reserve by 9am - I kid you not!!).
Hot water in showers seems to be in short supply in the afternoon.
Dogs opposite can be quite noisy (i like dogs so didn't mind, but u may wish to request a room on the front).
Olhas d'agua is VERY Quiet. Great for relaxation but if you want lively, then look nearer Albufeira. taxis are only €6 to the very lively new town (strip) or €10 to the old town. Staff are more than happy to order taxis for you.
Enjoyed my holiday, thanks to all the staff at the Velamar! Read Less

The rooms are modern and spacious and the apartments are even more spacious. The air con was fab. Tbh it was home from home. As soon as we got the rooms we made it our home for the 4 nights we were there. The pool was lovely and cold and it was never a problem getting a sunbed only on the first day when we arrived after 2pm, but we found a table n chairs and set up our own little area. The breakfast is lovely and there is something for everyone. I loved the scrambled egg it was really nice and cokes to perfection (normally sloppy everywhere I have been)
The kiss disco that opens at weekends never caused us a problem at all and the front door is locked up each night and you can only enter with your key, which means no one can wander in from over the road (great security). All 9 of us would meet in the hens room for a few drinks before we went out. Once it hit 10 o clock the security guard came to tell us to keep the noise down. This wasn’t a problem at all and we respected the other residents and the security guards wishes. We found the food for lunch n tea really nice and tbh a lot cheaper than a lot of the bars n restaurants. The location is good too and just a few minutes walk to the strip where the night life is. Also the beach is within walking distance. The shops over the road are reasonably priced too for drinks etc. The reception staff are so helpful and helped us to find numerous nice restaurants (thank you).I have to praise the management and staff because this hotel is beautiful and clean and very well kept. I would definitely return and I would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for your hospitality🙂 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

The room was fantastic, really spacious and well presented. There was loads of wardrobe and drawer space, unlike many hotels we’ve stayed in. The bathroom was large and very clean and the shower was really powerful. The only downside was the shower curtain which wasn’t ideal, a glass curtain is preferable. Whilst the room was cleaned every day, you could choose to not have it cleaned and towels changed whenever you wanted in return for a €5 voucher to be used in the bars and restaurant.
Outdoor areas were well maintained and frequently swept and cleaned. The gardens are extensive and enable you to get away from other guests and have time to yourself if you wish to. The main pool area is well looked after and there are plenty of beds. The pool itself is really clean and well maintained, with great views over the hotel grounds. Our son loved playing in the pool all day.
Whilst there is a ‘kids club’, this is really low key. Children can come and go as they please depending upon whether they fancy joining the activities on offer. This means that you don’t have to sign them over for the day. There is no loud music or irritating stuff going on to annoy those trying to relax by the pool. For example, they may do some painting, make a cake, go for a picnic in the grounds, go and play tennis in the grounds etc. We’ve never used a kids club before because we don’t like to sign our son over for the morning / afternoon / day but he did enjoy popping in and out to suit himself.
The pool bar serves a good range of lunchtime snacks which are of a good quality. Service is quite slow, but that didn’t really bother us because we were on holiday and not in a rush. One major downside for us was the cost of drinks and ice creams etc. We found it really expensive. For example, a small can of Pepsi Max was €3.50 and a large bottle of water was €3.
We were half board. We often swapped our evening meal for lunch and went out to eat most evenings. The set menu in the hotel is very limited. However, the food is excellent quality but portion sizes quite small if you have a big appetite. As already mentioned, drinks and wine to accompany your meal are very expensive.
We are out most evenings and found that Uber service was great to and from the hotel. There are some great little restaurants not too far from the hotel by taxi. Reception staff were always happy to ring ahead and book for us.
The staff at the hotel are a credit to the company. They are helpful, attentive and friendly. Our experience was that nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
We would definitely return, however probably on a B&B basis next time rather than half board in one of the villas. Read Less

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

It’s an excellent modern hotel in a fantastic location. We weren’t disturbed by any noise, and the hotel is set back far enough away from the strip, however it’s only less than a 10 minute walk. There are some really nice bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel, including an Italian and a Tappenyaki. The hotel bedroom was spacious and clean and the double bed was massive and comfortable. There was an excellent choice at breakfast and there was a slight variation each day of some of the pastries and hot food. We had a hire car and there was always ample parking at the front of the hotel. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough and we will certainly be visiting it again in the future. Read Less

We had an amazing room that walked out onto the pool, and the staff couldn’t help you enough. We spent most days poolside with cocktails, with different types of loungers, food, and drinks available at reasonable prices! (Although would recommend adding more songs to the music playlist, and some more umbrellas)
The hotel is so central to the beach, all of the local restaurants, pubs, and clubs and is really easy to find at the end of the night!
I would like to say a special thank you to Oleksiy for his customer care, especially when he was running the Wine and Tapas night!
We would definitely stay here again! Read Less

The hotel is a 5 minutes walk to the strip, a short and cheap taxi ride to Old town.
Both places for nightlife were a great laugh and a friendly atmosphere.
The food was fantastic, the breakfast catered for everyone. The rooms were exactly what we needed and I love that the towels were changed daily and the room cleaned.
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.
This was the first time I’d visited Portugal and I’d definitely look to return with my family Read Less

But the drinks in the hotel were very expensive. One of the staff also was very rude to my husband, because he made a sandwich at breakfast time to take to his room to eat she came abruptly toward him also in front of under customers in the restaurant. They was no notice saying you could not take food out. The member of staff was a lady supervisor who work on Tuesday morning breakfast March up & down the tables she had a attitude problem.

It’s a shame the bar closes at 7pm,would be nice to have a little nightcap after being out and about. Had a lovely stay, beautiful little beach at the end of the road, within walking distance of all facilities. Downside: a few loud lads around the pool on the Saturday, but a lovely pool area (small but nice) excellent breakfast. 🌞👍🌞 Read Less

Read MoreI've been to Albuferia before,about 25 years ago,and its changed alot! The hotel was very clean and modern,with maid service every day,our apartment (for 3) was big enough,but didn't have enough storage space,there's also a lack of plug points,so drying and straightening your hair is a problem,as there is non near any mirror's.we had a TV in our apartment,which had all the English channels,but we didn't need to watch them,as we went out all the time.The pool is small and freezing and not many sunbeds,so we went to the nearest beach,not to far away.we were staying bed and breakfast,and couldn't fault the breakfast area all,buffet style,with everything from bacon and eggs and cereal to yogurt and fruit,something for everyone.The only down side to this hotel,is the noise,which comes from all the stag and hen parties,who think it's ok to make as much noise as possible! We never heard anything from the kiss disco,except for kicking out time,around 6am,then it was more shouting and screaming.Overall a very nice hotel,let down by certain guests,definitely not suitable for older people (as lots of steps) or young children( too much noise and no kids club etc) Read Less
