A week in february The hotel was lovely, clean, friendly and the staff were welcoming. Our rooms were tied and immaculate after the maid came in. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great when we were there so didn't have time to try out the pool,... Read More however lots of restaurants nearby to get food. The three Maria's is a lovely bar to get sandwiches in the eve and the barman was great. The restaurant served tasty food too. Read Less

Experiência 5* O dia começa de manhã e fomos surpreendidos por um excelente pequeno almoço com uma vista maravilhosa.

O objetivo era relaxar e os quartos apresentam grande nível de conforto, normalmente só encontrada em hotéis com 5* e alguns de 4.

O Staff... Read More era muito disponível e simpático, mesmo nós sendo portugueses (quem é português sabe do que estou a falar), logo aí, marcaram pela diferença.

Por fim, mas para mim o mais importante, a limpeza era excepcional, não só nos quartos mas também zona comum.

Recomendo a visita a quem procurar um serviço de excelência. Read Less

Warm welcome You can always be sure of a warm welcome and a pleasant smile from all the staff at Velamar. The rooms, breakfast and facilities are very good for a 3* hotel. This was our 25th visit and will not be... Read More the last Read Less

Great little hotel with excellent service We stayed at this hotel from Thursday night to Sunday night and we were very impressed with the service by the staff - they were all very attentive and helped us with car hire (you need a car really) and... Read More beach towels and also with booking our transfers to the airport. They speak very good English - our Portuguese is very limited so that helped enormously! The pool is unheated which is a shame as would have loved a swim. Breakfasts were plentiful and enough to choose from and the rooms were spacious and very clean. Would recommend and visit again if in area. Thanks Velamar Read Less

Fabulous Holiday! We have just returned from a 9 night stay at the Velamar, and we don’t think we could have had a better time! The hotel is located about 4-5 Km from Albufeira on a fairly main road, but because of... Read More the good double glazing we didn’t hear any road noise whatsoever. It is on a main bus route, and there is a bus stop a short distance from the hotel entrance so if using public transport there shouldn’t be any problems getting to and from the town centre bus station ( we hired a car for our holiday and used the free car park at the hotel..) Our room on the 2nd floor was very comfortable, with air conditioning if needed, and had a balcony. The breakfast room is on the 3rd floor, with views of the ocean, and there was always a good choice of food including cereals, several different kinds of breads and pastries, fresh fruit and a variety of hot foods, tea & coffee and juices. There are several restaurants and cafes very close by, and there are some excellent offers to be had (one offered a four course meal with drinks included for either €8.50 or €11.00 depending on the choice of food..) The service we received from all the staff at the Velamar was excellent, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone considering a break in the Albufeira area. We booked this break as an Easyjet holiday, and including flights, transfers, hold luggage and 9 nights B&B it cost us approx. £65.00 per night (total, not each..) which we consider an absolute bargain!

Just what we were looking for, a surprising gem with amenities close by We booked a package holiday where we did not have a choice of hotel. We were all pleasantly surprised with the standard of the hotel and rooms and it's quiet location. Breakfast was on the top floor with... Read More panaramic views, there was a good selection of continental and cooked food. The rooms were clean, with a fridge, tea and coffee facilities, a safe, the tv had some English channels which was a bonus, there was a hairdryer and toiletries. There were separate towels for the pool. All members of staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and would go out of their way to help arrange taxis, and booking golf times. My husband was particularly pleased when they were able to televise an important football match he wanted and drinks at the bar were very reasonably priced. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant there are a good selection of cafes and restaurants very close by and a good sized supermarket that sells everything you could need. There are two nice beaches in either direction from the hotel about 20 minutes walk away and there is a coastal undulating path between both beaches affording beautiful views but you need good walking shoes. All in all we would stay at this hotel again. Read Less

Great stay .... Just back from a short 3 night break in Olhos & stayed at the Velemar. Love this little hotel; so clean, modern & nice touches such as free safe, pool towels etc for a 3 star. Already booked for a... Read More few days next May as it’s such an easy place to stay. Lovely staff too. Read Less

Lovely hotel This hotel is very deceiving from the outside, once you walk in it’s a modern, friendly hotel. We have found the staff to be polite, friendly and helpful, we wanted to go to old town so they gave us a... Read More taxi company number and they were brilliant. We had a room overlooking the pool which made for a better view than the road. I found the hotel to be really quiet to the extent that at times you could believe it was a private hotel. The pool area though small was pleasant and well maintained. Breakfast was a standard buffet every day but the food was good, my only negative is the toaster is sooooo hot that a set of long handled tongs would be an asset rather than facing the heat of trying to get the toast with the tongs provided. In all very pleased with our stay here ️ More Read Less
