Velamar Boutique Hotel
Albufeira, Algarve

Miss N Pollard, Rayleigh

The hotel was great. Very clean and contemporary The staff were friendly. The rooms had everything that you need including a mini bar, safe, hairdryer. There were also beach towels provided.

Prices for food and drink were a bit pricey though. The downside was the pool was quite small and there was no room for us to get changed on our last day as the hotel was fully booked. We didn't leave until 17.45 and when we asked if there was anywhere we could shower, we were told to use the one at the pool and get changed in the toilet! Far from ideal!

Great quality and service just let down by occasional power cuts and lack of access to some TV channels.

Mrs R Akpan, London

The hotel was tastefully furnished, with modern facilities. Staff were very helpful and friendly and it was in close proximity to the beach and local restaurants. Top Tip - If you are a fan of tea, please be aware there is no dry milk included with your tea/making facilities in each room. Will have to purchase milk from the corner shop or buy half a glass of milk from the bar (1 EUR) - which is quite bizarre. All in all a top hotel, would definitely return!

Mr D Rowan, Ventnor

Excellent hotel, staff exceptionally helpful and friendly, especially Andre who was so very polite and helpful. Perhaps on a slight downside I would have liked to have had some evening meals in the hotel dining room, however, they did not cater for this.

Mr D Bryan, Sunderland

A great hotel, with great staff. Rooms excellent and good location. If you can find a better value hotel anywhere then book it.

Mr K Pinkerton, Glasgow

Excellent staff, every single one very friendly, smiling and happy to help. Breakfast was excellent, much better quality than expected. Room was quite basic, view was not very private, however, it was very clean and everything worked, towels changed regularly.

Mr B Pinson, Warminster

We used the Velamar as a base to explore the Algarve, it more than met our expectations. Nice room with everything one would expect. Cleaners did a good job. Good choice for breakfast every day, the views from the top floor breakfast room are fantastic. When we were there in February we were amazed how good the weather was. Just a few yards up the road were some great value restaurants. The weeks package we got through Sunshine was great value.

Mr A Green, Bangor

This was my second time at the Hotel Velamar everything is spotless from the lobby to the bedrooms. The pool is a little small but it is no problem as the beach is only a 5 minute walk. There are great restaurants all around the hotel and the staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. I would definitely return.

Mr K Smith, Hull

Stayed at the Velamar 4 times now. Hotel is very clean, staff very friendly and is excellent value for money. In a quiet location but with plenty of restaurants nearby. Breakfast is buffet style served on the third floor with some lovely views. Would not recommend for children as not much to keep them entertained.

Mr L Walker, Peterborough

Very friendly staff, great food and superb location.
