Wish we’d booked for longer
This was our first trip to Portugal and we are so pleased we picked this hotel. Having stayed in many package tour type hotels in the past it would be fair to say this hotel is way above the normal. From start to finish this hotel impressed at every turn. The rooms were excellent with a massive bed. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast on the roof terrace was delicious with so many choices. Thank you for making our stay perfect
Great stay once again
Have just returned from our second stay at the Velamar.
The exterior has started to look tatty and something that a lick of paint would easily sort.
Had a really good stay as previously, room clean, comfy bed and great breakfast.
One afternoon was Karaoke around the pool which clearly wasn't working as no guests were interested. I don't think it's the kind of hotel where you would expect Karaoke.
Hotel is in a great central location, with excellent restaurants within five minutes walk. The snack bar next door is excellent.
Had a really good stay and wouldn't hesitate to come again.
Home from home
Stayed for 11 nights from June 28th to July 9th. Dropped off at a bus stop 5 minutes walk away & I have to admit the outside isn't great & could do with a refresh but when we got inside we were warmly greeted by João Costa who checked us in gave us information about breakfast / pool times etc , all the staff were very friendly & helpful & couldn't do enough for us Special mentions to Anderson in the restaurant who gave us lots of information about the area & Antonio & Filipa in the bar who felt like friends by the time we left. The hotel is spotlessly clean & nicely decorated . The pool is small but we always managed to get a sunbed & the food is exceptional Shops & restaurants a 15 to 20 minute walk away. Can't wait to visit again
Another stay ….
Stayed here for 8 nights & it was lovely. Couldn’t leave a review for my April visit as too close to a previous one. Not going to lie after lots of lovely visits April left me disappointed with leaking shower, poor communication etc. However; kept the faith & just had 8 nights in a lovely room with no issues. All the staff are great & the view from the breakfast room is just beautiful. Lovely lady called Rebecca in there who was so engaging.
One thing despite all the positives is that I really feel there should be a shower room for check outs. Most hotels offer these & particularly with late flights & in 35c heat it’s disappointing there is no facility. Luggage storage but no where other than the toilets to freshen up.
Location is great in my opinion & even though hotel was full we had no trouble getting a sunbed despite how busy the hotel was.

A lovely stay
Loved this hotel. It was extremrly clean, staff were so helpful and lovely and I enjoyed my stay so much. I was travelling solo and felt safe both in the hotel and the area. I can highly recommend it. The pool area is a bit small but I always managed to get a space. The reception staff were particularly helpful. Thank you Diane
