Belver Boa Vista Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

This was our third visit in 7 years. Staff are friendly and the hotel clean. However, it is not 4 star. I understand the competitive edge and the need to cut corners however I do feel this hotel is likely to fall along the wayside unless they invest in itself. No longer a basket in the bathroom with toiletries, old hard towels and bathrobes. When we spent time around the pool the bar wasn’t being run by anyone most of the time and when it was could only deal in cash. We love the quietness and location but please if you’re stating 4 star then offer 4 star.

My partner and I had a fantastic time in Albufeira, celebrating our 25th year anniversary! Jorge at the hotel gave a 5 star service, always very helpful and jovial who gave us room 509 with an absolute magnificent sea view! They served very fresh and varied buffet breakfast, with both English and continental choices and more. The hotel is about 12-15 minutes walk from the old town center. It is a bit up hill going back to the hotel, but Uber cars are very cheap and always readily available. We would not hesitate to go back again! Claudia and Paul

Super location, great amenities and clean comfortable rooms. Having a balcony with seaview was exceptional.

We had room 519, one of two suites on the roof (6th floor). Aka "Deluxe double room, sea view". Wonderful! The secluded outside terrace was as large as the apartment itself, fully private for sunbathing or just enjoying the expansive views of Albufeira. The interior of the apartment itself was a little tired, with loose wood segments of the parquet flooring going click-clacj as we tried on them. Bed was very firm, but we asked for a mattress topper, which softened things nicely. Two complaints: the sliding glass doors to the terrace need new wheels/bearings, and the external sun shutters rattled loudly in the wind, all night long on our final night. Like sleeping inside a steel drum. Staff were considerate and excellent all around. Parking was free and easy. The hotel garage was available (free except during the summer), but we used on-street parking just outside the hotel entrance. The breakfasts were excellent, with a large selection of items and two good automatic coffee machines. Off-seasob dinner was offered from a set menu, which we took for one of the evenings. The food was nice, but pricier than nearby (excellent) restaurants. Access down to the town and beach was easy, beginning with the steps from the hotel pool, and ending with the village elevator to the beach. Would stay here again, in the same room. Amazing.

Would definitely recommend staying here if you want some peace and quiet with amazing staff.

Everything was good but understaffed at busy times at breakfast.

I travelled all the way from Delhi to be with a friend, who was celebrating her 40th birthday. I booked accommodation at the same hotel and booked a ‘Deluxe Suite’ on the topmost floor. AI reached the property at about 9 PM on a Friday evening. After checking in, 'Anna' the lady at the Front Office, helped me lug my rather heavy suitcase the last two floors and unlocked the door for me. The suite was lavish as lavish can be and from another era. The washroom reminded me of ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’. The terrace was mindbogglingly huge with two sets of loungers and tea tables for two at both end for a cosy conversation and was just the place to soak in the sun and the surf, with endless views of the ocean stretching across the horizon. The video that I am posting along with, hardly does justice to the opulence. After a quick wash up, I reached the in-house restaurant past 10 PM, the closing time. 'Martin', the Barman who happened to be my age exactly, ensured that I get a bite while sipping my drink. Next day was her birthday. At 9.30 PM, after a sumptuous dinner, I realised I had forgotten to let the Property to arrange a small cake for the occasion. I called Jorge, at the Front Office and explained my predicament. He had quietly slipped in the Cake in my room and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you ‘Belver Boa Vista Hotel & Spa’, for being so understanding and allow us to make the most of the occasion. Can’t wait to get back!!

Clean, great location, great breakfast and above all very friendly and helpful staff.

All staff we encountered were accommodating and friendly. Special shout out to the night desk….Lionel. The room could use a refresh, some of the furnishings are growing very tired.

5 night stay. Average $ 175 a night. They call them selves 4 star. In my opinion a 2 star AT BEST Good : location view from our room. Excellent ! Bad : wait for it : 1) 2 steps in the MIDDLE of the room heading to the bathroom ( yellow hazard tape on steps that DOES NOT glow in the dark) … not a problem … since 2) THE DARK CURTAINS DID NOT WORK . So steps not a problem could see them 3 ) THERE IS NO A/C … they say this is a 1968? Property “ acqua cooled”. Water running thru pipes cools the room. Complained about it to management. Room is too hot. Sent mechanics. Could not fix it. Day 4 : sent us a table fan. They say only 1 in the building. Does NOT WORK IN THE 3 inappropriately located outlets. Day 4 night : THERE IS NO RUNNING WATER … Management says will sort it out in morning. Obviously no water no aqua cooling … hot room Day 5 morning. 2 mechanics come up. No water. management's says you are ON YOUR OWN IT IS GOVERNMENT ISSUE. Rosa house maint manger brings standing fan that WORKED ! Water finally trickles in 12 noon. Half day of vacation gone ! Management refused to compensate us any way. Also did not sincerely apologize either. GM never came up to even talk. There were no other rooms the maintenance guys said … similar issue. No water. THE WORST FACILITY WE HAVE STAYED IN …. BY FAR. NEXT MONTH TURN 70 and TAKE 4 INTERNATIONAL TRIPS A YEAR. This was terrible experience. Ps : no iron table in room asked only got iron
