Still exceptional hotel, we love it here, away from all the hustle & bustle but you will need a car if you want to get around.
Breakfast is as much as you can eat from full English to fresh fruit etc.
Poolside towels provided. Very helpful staff on reception. Nothing is too much trouble, always willing to help. Read Less

The views from the room were vast across both hotel grounds and distant towns and villages.
Food was fab, we stayed half board and the evening meals were well above what you expect from a hotel.
The staff were very polite and attrntive. Raquel was very friendly and always full of advice for where to go and see. Bernardo was humorous and charming throughout, you have a great team!
It was also the wife's birthday while we were there and a surprise of cake and fizz was put in the room, a real nice touch
Will visit again soon 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

Habitaciones con terraza, excelente minibar y aire acondicionado de lujo. Amenities de rituals y cafetera Nespresso.
Zona de terraza y piscina con camas y muy buenas vistas. Cocina espléndida para picar algo y cócteles de campeonato.
En definitiva un hotel moderno en pleno centro de la ciudad vieja de Albufeira, a 2 minutos de la playa y con servicios 4 estrellas superior muy diferente a la oferta hotelera y de ocio de la zona. Totalmente recomendado!

We like this area compared to old Albufeira because the strip offers so much and is busier , and easier to get around. The hotel has direct beach access,and surrounded by condos called Quinta Pedra dos Bicos . The reception for both accommodation is located in the hotel. You can either rent the apartments or the hotel rooms , either way you eat breakfast in same restaurant. We stayed in the hotel but asked to view the apartments, and were impressed by the size of apartments (same price as hotel rooms but sea view better in hotel).
The reviews reflect exactly our expectations...no surprises.
There is construction next to the complex but did not bother us.
Cleaning service was great, so was reception, and breakfast was excellent.
The restaurant is surrounded by glass so you feel outside while you eat. Also you can eat on the patio or simply finish your breakfast on the patio with a coffee.
Parking was directly in front of hotel and the street utilized by complex guests only.
Rooms are sized ok but balcony is too small. We chose a sea view room and glad we did because the front rooms face the apartments, and ours were overlooking a lush forest with views of ocean and Falésia.
Food for us meant breakfast in hotel and out to restaurants for evening meals. You will find about 20 different restaurants within 500 yards of the hotel. Our favourites were Ribeiro, Pauli’s, and the Casa Velma next to the Old House bar.
Happy hour was at the Old House (best sangria for 7 euros/jug) ,and Coyote bar right in front.
The Inter Marché grocery is 300 feet away so you can load up with all your needs and walk back to your room in 10 minutes.
We took time to go visit other resorts we had contemplated before booking the Aqua hotel, but the environment at our place was the best. Read Less

Read MoreEl hotel está en una zona muy tranquila, si no te importa coger el coche, es el lugar perfecto desde el que visitar el Algarve, ya que no está a mucha distancia de casi todos los puntos de interés. Si por lo contrario buscas un lugar en el que no coger el coche para todo, este no es tu Hotel.
El entorno del hotel es muy silencioso, las piscinas son geniales, hay dos rodeadas de mucho espacio verde.
Me alojé en una villa que tenía dos dormitorios dobles, con baños en cada uno de ellos. Una cocina y salón-comedor bastante grande. La zona de las habitaciones están muy bien, tienen terrazas, están muy limpias y son cómodas. En cuanto al salón, les vendría bien cambiar los sofás, están ya bastante viejos/usados.
El desayuno está muy bien, muy completo y todo rico. Además el comedor está junto a la piscina, muy buenas vistas
Solo tengo un punto negativo, y es que el hotel admite mascotas, pagando un suplemento importante por ellas. Yo llevaba un perro pequeño, y no me parece bien que no dejen una pequeña zona en la terraza del bar en donde se sirven los desayunos, las comidas y puedes tomar algo tranquilamente.
En cualquier otro restaurante nunca nos pusieron problema para estar en la calle con el... menos deberían ponerle en un lugar en el que pagas 25 EUROS al día por poder tener al perro. (Prácticamente pagué más por el perro que por una persona con desayuno para que luego tengamos que turnarnos para hacer las comidas ya que, como es lógico, si le dejas solo en un sitio que no conoce va a ladrar y molestar a las villas contiguas).
Es cierto que en la información sobre mascotas pone que no dejan tenerle en la piscina y en el bar, pero a continuación pone que salvo en las zonas donde específicamente lo señale (no he visto ninguna zona así señalada y con eso das a entender que hay zonas donde lo puedes tener).
Solo dejan pasearle por las zonas alrededor de las villas, pero no dejan por ejemplo tener en el jardín que hay junto a la zona de la piscina. No me parece bien cuando no es simplemente un hotel que te haga el favor de dejarte tener a tu mascota sino que la mascota paga más que un persona!
En definitiva, mi valoración del hotel es buena, porque en cuanto a las instalaciones, al personal y demás no puedo decir nada malo. Pero si planeas ir con mascota, su política al respecto me parece pésima. Read Less

Der Kleiderschrank hätte mehr Ablageflächen haben können, im Bad haben wir einen Klorollenhalter vermisst.
Das Frühstück war gut, allerdings wenig abwechslungsreich, da ist noch Luft nach oben. Des Weiteren waren bereits morgens um 7:30 Liegestühle reserviert, wogegen das Hotel scheinbar auch nichts unternimmt. Wer sich also einen guten Platz sichern möchte sollte früh aufstehen. Die Lage ist ansonsten gut, man kommt überall gut und es war auch sehr ruhig. 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 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.
All in all, a great place to stay. Read Less

Albufeira no seu melhor. Muito bem situado, com uma decoração muito agradável, onde desde a simpatia do staff aos quartos tudo é agradável.

We arrived on our wedding anniversary to a bottle of bubbly and strawberries. Check in was quick and our bags were taken to our sea view room. A large bed, wardrobe, free safe and well equipped bathroom as well as small balcony with table and chairs. Room cleaned and towels changed daily. One set of pool towels . All rooms near lifts, some have pool view and larger balconies. Pool area looks small but plenty of loungers and umbrellas. We were concerned about reports of hen/stag groups however it was very quiet. Two groups of ladies came for a few days but conducted themselves perfectly. We walked to beach (about 5 to 10 min ) with sunbeds for hire and a nice beach café. Pool bar has a varied lunch menu. Breakfast is excellent. A la carte dinner , a 20euro 3course dinner and bbq on Wednesdays. .Nice guitar music one night. However it is very convenient and very worthwhile to take a short walk to the local restaurants. The hotel recommended Churrasqueira Beira - a friendly, tasty and very reasonable place where the locals eat too!. The Sizzling Stone was very tasty with good staff and lovely surroundings.There are a few supermarkets, gift shops and bars. A short 5 or 6 euro taxi ride to the Old Town. The bar was quiet with gentle music and closed around 11.30. Finally, as advertised there are no children. Just as we wanted it. A quiet relaxing holiday with good food and nice people. 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

Read MoreThe friendliest & most helpful staff we've encountered. From the moment we arrived, to be greeted by Daniel, to the relaxed extension on our leaving day, they made us all so comfortable and welcome. The villa was spacious, well equipped & spotlessly clean. The heated pool at the bottom of the garden, was a delight (Maybe a little too warm, when the weather is as perfect as it was for us).
Reception booked excursions for us & we would definitely recommend the boat trip to see the spectacularly beautiful caves & cliffs along the coast. The hotel operates a handy free shuttle service (though at limited times) to nearby Carvoeiro, with its shops, restaurants, bars & lovely beaches. Superb breakfast by the pool each morning, including a wide range of hot & cold options, fresh juice & great coffee.
Self catering options probably best to have a car; 2 very good supermarkets in nearby Lagoa.
Spa was lovely, but superfluous in such great weather, but outdoor gym & tennis facilities were good.
Would not hesitate to return or to recommend. Read Less

The location is good. The beaches are nearby. 15 minutes walk to Oura Beach and 5-7 minutes to Praia dos Aveiros which is very nice small beach and not too crowded. But wouldn’t say it the the cleanest beach in the area. To Praia dos Pescadores you need to get a taxi, which is 5 Euros.
The hotel is clean, comfy. The bed was great! Very comfortable for me and big ! I loved the balcony!
There is supermarket just nearby and it closes at 12 am if I’m not mistaken.
Staff is mostly very friendly and helpful.
The only thing I didn’t like is the breakfast. Very poor breakfast and it was the same during the whole 4 days! And I didn’t like when we went down for breakfast at 10:28 am, the lady approached us saying that they are taking away the food. We know that the breakfast ends at 10:30, so no need to be rude. She could just take it away. By all means most of the food was already finished. And we could be there 10 minutes earlier and it would be the same.
And most of the reviews are about Kiss. So this club wasn’t open until Thursday. That night we could hear the music of course, because our room was on the street side. But actually after closing the balcony doors, that was not that loud anymore.
Next time when in Albufeira, I think I’ll again choose this hotel. 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 !

The Hotel is immaculate both in public areas and the bedrooms which are cleaned with towel change daily. There is a hairdryer and good sized safe in the room & ample wardrobe space with many coat hangers provided The Beach is a public one which you access via the back gate of the Hotel and is a little way down a lane - and a lot of steps. The Beach itself is lovely.
We were Bed & Breakfast but ate an evening meal in the Hotel the 1st night - it was like a comedy sketch - poor service & inconsistent portion size between the different diners which culminated in the smallest sliver of cheesecake ever which was still frozen which we and other residents there were not able to eat! The breakfasts however were consistently good with an amazing amount of choice and the breakfast staff were efficient and friendly. The pool area was small and overcrowded - we never visited it but noticed no one used the pool so guess the water was cold. This is an Adult only Hotel, a plus point for me. It is also ideally placed just 5 minutes walk from 'the Strip' with plenty of Bars, Restaurants and Shops (mostly selling the same 'holiday' wares). It is about a gentle 40 minute, very pleasant walk to Albufeira. There is a Supermarket for all you could need closeby to the Hotel and a very good Italian Restaurant called Paulus Pizzeria. On the Strip we particularly liked The Market Restaurant at the end closest the Seafront. Overall we were very pleased with this Hotel and would recommend others to visit. Read Less

L’hotel est idéalement situé, tout proche de la plage juste à côté d’une rue pleine de restaurants dans laquelle vous trouverez forcément votre bonheur. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut à proximité : Intermarché, pharmacie, distributeur, petites boutiques pour les souvenirs etc..
Nous avons pris le uber pour nos déplacements pendant tout le voyage ce qui était très pratique. Comptez environ 30 euros pour un aller jusqu’a/ depuis l'aéroport, 6 euros pour aller jusqu’a La marina.
L’hotel est magnifique, les chambres sont suffisamment grandes pour deux, il y a un mini bar payant, une bouteille d’eau et une bouilloire avec thé et café mis à disposition gratuitement.
La salle de bain est fonctionnelle.
Nous avions une chambre côté rue mais nous avions quand même la vue sur la mer et nous avons trouvé ce côté plus tranquille que si nous avions la vue sur la piscine. Le balcon est un vrai plus, il est aménagé avec une table et deux chaises.
Les chambres sont climatisés, attention la climatisation s'éteint si vous laissez la porte-fenêtre ouverte.
L'hôtel est très propre, le ménage dans la chambre est fait 1x/3j sauf demande de votre part.
Le personnel est très gentil, serviable et accueillant.
Très bonne communication en anglais, quelques mots de français pour certains.
Le petit déjeuné est extra, vous trouverez votre bonheur à coup sûr ! Il est copieux et bon. Nous étions servis à table à cause du coronavirus, il est agréable qu’on se souvienne de nos habitudes dès le 2 eme jour.
Le jardin et la piscine sont beaux et très propres.
Les cocktails servis au bord de la piscine sont bons et à des prix inférieurs aux bars en ville.
Nous nous sommes fait masser et c’était parfait, la vue est splendide, le massage était super et le prix très correct.

We were unfortunately (for all) at the hotel when Coronavirus restrictions kicked in. Everyone, staff included were not sure what would unfurl but dealt with it a brilliant. It was my birthday and when i returned to my room there was a bottle of fizz, a lovely cake and a lovely note. What a great touch.
Hope to return, hang on in there x

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

Estadia maravilhosa Mais uma estadia maravilhosa de 3 dias onde o sossego e a tranquilidade reinou neste paraiso algarvio longe da confusão.. ficamos instalados numa vila com toda a segurança e comodidade.. Ansioso por lá voltar outra vez..

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

The hotel was modern and clean. The Pool is small but for the size of the hotel and the amount of guests it is perfect and looks exactly like the pictures. We had a room without a balcony which we knew when we booked, however as we did not have a balcony it was a bit difficult to dry swimwear and towels, would be handy to have some sort of dryer that could be hung out of the window. The bathroom was very clean and fresh towels were provided as needed along with additional towels that could be used at the beach or pool. if you enjoy a bath however, it is difficult to fill as it did not have a tap only the shower, however this was quite soothing due to the water falling noise. There are two stunning beaches within a 15 minute walk, and a supermarket 2 minutes down the road. Very nice hotel, would definatley book again. Read Less

Good stay The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The rooms were clean. There were extra beachtowels you were allowed to use at the beach or swimmingpool. They also had a lovely garden.

Nice hotel, but no bar in the evening! My mum and myself visit albufeira every year and try to stay at different accommodations as there are so many to chose from!

Read MoreMy mum and myself visit albufeira every year and try to stay at different accommodations as there are so many to chose from! This hotel is situated in the new town opposite KISS nightclub, which was quiet at the moment due to the season not yet starting, though I imagine it could get quite noisy in the summer months. The rooms were lovely and clean with everything you needed, beds comfortable and great service. The lady on reception (I think she was called Diva but apologies if that's wrong!) was helpful and friendly both upon checking in and checking out. Only downside would be that there is no bar at the hotel in the evening which we would have made use of! Overall though, a pleasant stay and would recommend. Read Less

* Absolutely fantastic hotel, unsure why it’s only rated 3* we are just back from a 4 night stay, short walk to shops/restaurants, looking forward to returning to Albufeira in the future. Staff were very friendly!
