Nothing to complain about here. The pool was a bit cold. The location was too far from Albufeira for a walk, but we had a car. I recommend others to choose a car too. They have great offers at the airport More

My husband and I stayed here from 17 - 24 April. It was our first time in Portugal and we loved it. The Hotel was imazing , the people very friendly and Portugal very cheap. We loved it that much that we have booked to go back again in September this year to the same Hotel. Would really recommend. More

Very pleasant staff and the standard of cleanliness cannot be faulted. Rooms serviced on a daily basis with towels and bedding regularly changed. Very nice outlook to Breakfast Room and full range of fruits,meats and cheeses available for Continental breakfast. Corridors rather dark and dingy and lighting could do with upgrading but overall very pleasant 3 star hotel and very... More

We arrived late on a Saturday night and found the hotel very welcoming. Check in was swift and pleasant, the room was what I had requested on my booking. Clean, warm with extra blankets and pillows. The bathroom was spotless, with complimentary toiletries. There was a decent sized tv and even a fridge for fruit, water and snacks. Brekfast was... More

We stayed at the Velamar for the 3rd year in a row in the first week of May and nothing has changed. It is still as good as the 2 previous years we have stayed and most of the staff are the same, which says a lot in the hotel industry where staff generally move around frequently. I don't think...

Booked extra night in hotel because we were happy with the hotel. It is about a 5 to 10 minute drive from albufeira beaches, restaurants etc. Staff were polite and helpful.... More

Just spent 5 days at this hotel and we weren't disappointed, it deserves all its good reviews. The room we were given initially smelt really badly of stale smoke (even though smoking is banned in hotels) and we were immediately moved to another room without any fuss after requesting a change. Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean with a nice... More
