returned last week from 7 nights at the velamar-great value for money and we will definitely return. we have been to olhos d'agua before so knew exactly what to expect-quite lucky with the weather as there had been a bit of a heatwave while we there there!! Hotel very clean, staff helpful and breakfast plentiful-juice, bread, rolls, ham, cheese, fruit,... More

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

I stayed at this hotel during may 2012. Good breakfast. Very quiet area. The rooms were clean, not 5* but I thought it was great for what we paid. 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
