Velamar Boutique Hotel - Adults Friendly

I enjoyed my stay at Velamar Boutique Hotel, it is well located within walking distance to some great beaches and restaurants nearby but also not deep in the heavy tourist areas where noise could have been an issue during busy season. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfasts were great and with a large variety to choose from. Also great to have on site private parking for guests. The water saving program where you could choose to give up a room cleaning day in exchange for a €5 voucher to use at the hotel bar for food or drinks was also a great idea.

From the time we arrived until leaving all the staff are so helpful and looked after us so well. Lovely room had everything you need on a holiday. Breakfast was lovely particularly when you can sit outside on the balcony and enjoy the view and sun, and staff always on hand to help out if needed with coffee machines. Will definitely go back.

Very nice staff during breakfast and dinner. Great view from the breakfast Terrance. They removed the towels from people who blocked sun beds in the morning at least once - afterwards everyone could usually always find a free sun bed - i appreciate it a lot and I know most hotels never go through the trouble.

I decided on this hotel, mainly based on previous reviews and they certainly didn’t disappoint! I did a lot of research on previous reviews for several hotels and whilst there are hotels with better facilities, this hotels ratings on 3 particular aspects impressed me, these were: • It’s quieter location, just outside of the main Albufeira area, which can be quite busy and loud at night, but we preferred a quieter location, so this fitted the bill for us • The 2nd reason was the ratings that the staff received, they were nothing short of exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble and reception is manned 24/7, so there is always someone available, even when we checked out at 5am. The staff are an absolute credit to this place • The 3rd reason were the breakfast reviews, again an outstanding breakfast offering with a buffet style breakfast, including ‘full English’ options, a huge continental breakfast selection of meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed OJ, huge selection of breads, GF options, cereals, yoghurts, fresh honey (actually dripping from a honeycomb into a pot), huge selection of fresh pastries (custard tarts, mini croissants, pancakes, pain au choc, pecan slice. *Some options above are rotated daily, to mix up the selection, ie: the cooked breakfast will rotate between mushrooms, tomatoes or quiche, but constant selection is scrambled egg, sausages, bacon, baked beans and boiled eggs. Same with the pastry and cheeses selections Finally, the breakfast clearing staff are simply outstanding, the clearing of tables is literally constant, I’ve rarely witnessed such attentive staff at breakfast and no sooner are you finished with a plate, cup or glass and it is gone, empty tables cleared very quickly. It also has an outstanding outside breakfast terrace, which although it can be a bit windy, in the summer heat, this is most welcome, we sat outside every single day

Extremely large and comfortable bed, we had no complaints in relation to the comfort and size of the room. Spacious balcony was handy to have to be able to dry swimwear and pool towels everyday. The pool was very relaxing and the poolside bar had everything you could need, with an extensive drinks list and lots of great, affordable lunch options. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included and could not fault it, absolutely delicious every day, with plenty of options. Location was great, as taxis are very cheap if you wanted to travel into Albufeira or Vilamoura. About a 15 minute walk down to the beach, there are plenty of restaurant options. We are in the local area 4 times out of 7 nights and always had a great meal. It was nice to be away from the noise of Albufeira and so I would recommend staying in this area if you enjoy a more relaxing holiday.
