We had a fantastic week in this hotel. Good staff, very clean and nice looking place. The food was ok, but we quickly got comfortable at a restaurant just outside called Jollies. Very friendly, welcoming staff and really delicious food, we tried as much as we could from the menu during our stay. Avoid the 'Soft Cafe' (also close by),... more

Stayed in the Velamar for one week with my wife. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly. Location was a bit far from Albufiera (45mins walk to the strip or 1hr to the old town) Taxis ranged from 5 to 7euro and the bus was 3.80 for two caught near the hotel. Hotel was very clean and... more

Pool is small,... more

Myself and a friend have just got back from visiting Albufiera in Portugal. We stayed at Hotel Velamar in Holos De Agua, we both found this hotel to be very nice and in a good location we paid £300 incl transfer fees for 7 days. Breakfast was good, very healthy. The only complaint is the neighbourhood's barking dogs. Not nice... more

We have just returned from this hotel after a weeks stay. The hotel is very very nice and the staff are very freindly. The hotel is clean, modern and well looked after, along with the pool. However, this hotel is in the middle of nowhere, just outside a very small town called Olos D'agua. The Old Town is a good... more
