Belver Boa Vista Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

We stayed on the 5th floor, very nice sea view. No pegs in the room og bathroom. You have to pay for the safe, 2,6 euro/day in cash, If you pay in the evening, the time Will run out 11 am till the day you paid. Bed is noisy. There is cable TV and option for Screen mirroring which does not work on the 5th floor. The staff is tired, especially one elderly lady with light hair. Very unpleasant, she was nice in the beginning but if you asked her something or had a problem she was totally stressed out. Breakfast is average. Hotel is on a hill. At least 10 min stairs to the Beach.

Old style hotel the whole place needs a refurb. Room was clean but the bathroom has seen better days. Shower head I don’t think has ever been cleaned and the wood on the sides of the sink look worn. Old style air con and furniture was old looking. Breakfast was awful. Cheeses/cold meats all left out with no ice underneath so the cheeses/meats looked sweaty and flies flying around. The orange juice was glowing orange more like squash, awful flavour. The pool didn’t look clean and there seemed to be a resident seagull flying around all the time. The only positive was the staff on reception. I would not recommend this hotel.

Disappointing Room Quality in a Potentially Great Hotel. This hotel has a lot going for it, but unfortunately, the room quality significantly detracts from the overall experience. While the hotel is rated 4 stars, the rooms felt more like a 2-star accommodation (We stayed at a 2 star the night before and it had nicer rooms). We were consistently woken up by the sound of doors opening and closing throughout the night due to a complete lack of soundproofing. The room itself was small, and the bed was quite uncomfortable. On the positive side, the breakfast was great, offering a good variety and quality. The pool area was also fantastic, providing a relaxing space to unwind. The staff were excellent—friendly, helpful, and attentive. The location was superb, making it easy to explore the area. If this hotel were to renovate its rooms and address the soundproofing issues, it absolutely has the potential to be a true 4-star experience. However, as it stands, I would rate it closer to a 2.5-star hotel due to the poor room quality.

This hotel is old but it is clean and in a good location. They were nice enough to upgrade us so we had a very spacious room. The pool is ice cold and not very inviting. All the staff were helpful. The library is a great edition to swap books with a wide variety in many languages. Able to walk both to the old town and marina although the walk back could be challenging in regard to hills and stairs if you were not fit. The only really disappointing thing was you had to pay extra to use the safe in your room, I have never had to do this before.

Not as good as expected. Lack of wardrobe space for 2, nowhere to hang your towel for coming out of shower, awkward navigation of the hotel especially as higher level lift not operational. The front desk staff were a bit stuffy and rarely had a smile on their face, except one of the younger lads who was the only one who seemed to be enjoying working there.

Lovely hotel, great location. Friendly staff

A really cozy hotel but quite worn out. A lot that didn't work. The elevator to the 5th floor was out of order. The shower by the pool only had one small jet. The bed in the room was so old and uncomfortable, you could feel all the springs when you moved. The room had a fantastic view of Albufeira, the pool and the sea. The air conditioning didn't work for the four nights we stayed there. Close to 40 degrees without air conditioning made the room like a sauna. The reception staff kept claiming that everything was fixed and that it only took half an hour for the cold to come, which it didn't during the whole time we stayed there.

A Trip Back in Time – The Worst Kind! My recent stay was a truly dismal experience, feeling less like a hotel visit and more like an unfortunate journey to the past – and not in a charming, nostalgic way. This place is woefully outdated, but without any of the character that might make an older establishment appealing. Every corner screams "neglect," making you feel like you've stepped into a forgotten era for all the wrong reasons. The issues started right in the room, particularly with the abysmal bathroom design. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea, but the toilet was positioned so awkwardly that a wall was practically in front of you. You literally couldn't sit properly, making a basic necessity an uncomfortable and frankly, ridiculous ordeal. However, the worst part of my stay was undoubtedly the service, or lack thereof. The receptionist was incredibly rude and seemed to have no concept of customer care. On my departure day, with a flight to catch, a task that should take less than five minutes. Instead, he left me waiting for over 30 minutes while he leisurely chatted with newly arrived guests. His complete disregard for my time meant I was overcharged by the taxi due to the excessive waiting and, consequently, had to rush to the airport, adding immense stress to what should have been a straightforward departure.

An amazing location high atop hill overlooking Albufiera old town and beach. Room was adequate and we enjoyed the balcony, pool area and especially the excellent breakfast bar. Self-parking was very convenient. Cons would be the broken elevator, bathroom was dated and the bed was quite uncomfortable. Front desk very friendly and helpful.

After a slight mishap with being given the wrong room, we were able to move the second day. The hotel is old but charming. The staff was very friendly. The location is perfect, 10 (or less) to old town and about 10 minutes to the marina.
