Belver Boa Vista

Where do I start ? Well arrival -this hotel is very dated but they are clever and do tell you this , waited 5-10 minutes at reception to check in woman was sleeping i presume through the back as we called through numerous times with no answer, room clean beds are horrendous I’m sure they didn’t squeak like that in the 60’s, pool nice when it’s quiet and not overrun with noisy drunk 50 plus year olds , got really bad one night but nothing was done . Will not return as not for us

Hugely disappointed

Back from a great holiday again in May. 7th time here, decided to go a 2nd time this year, stayed on 4th floor. Staff are very friendly, great location and nice rooms. Food is great quality, plenty of choices for breakfast and enjoyed the meals during the afternoon.
Didnt use the pool this time, but steam room, sauna and gym are free to use. Looking forward to returning later in the year.

Returning trip

My wife and I stayed here for 8 nights from 28may till 5june.
The hotel is listed as a 4 star but in my opinion, maybe a 3 and a half at a push, the location is about a 15 minute walk to the tunnel area and many good bars and restaurants on the way, the walk back uphill could be difficult for  people with breathing issues as it is quite steep . 

We chose this hotel as one of its policies states there are no Stag/hen parties allowed so we thought we could relax by the pool, "wrong" after 2 quiet days they arrived.. a group of 15 young men took over the pool area drinking, singing and playing loud music.. They stayed for 2 days but were replaced by a smaller group of about 6, although not quite as bad were still noisy. When we complained and pointed this out they ( and probably many other hotels) told us that it wasn't booked as a Stag so they were powerless to do anything about it!? Obviously they don't want to knock back the revenue that they bring so this means that probably most other hotels will get around this the same way, They did offer us an upgrade though which we declined as we had already upgraded. They then offered to refund our initial upgrade fee and offered a late check out which we accepted.
The first room we upgraded from was tiny and small with nowhere to even unpack, room 402, 
Our upgraded room was much better though it was a mix match of old furniture. It was 2.5 euros per day for the safe which we paid but the fridge was not working and we assumed there was a fee for that as well so we didn't bother. 
The breakfast was nice enough but was very limited, the maid was nice and changed our towels daily, all the Staff were all nice  very friendly and helpful. 
All in all we would not return there, I've been coming to Albufeira for many years but with the Whole Stag issue and the Queues trying to get through customs We won't be back anytime soon. 
I think Albufeira has turned into Benidorm. 


Stags and Hens..

Just back on29th May from a one week stay at this hotel. We asked our travel agent to suggest a quiet smaller hotel as we had just had a very busy few months and just wanted to relax. No chance of that at the Boa Vista in Albufeira ! In spite of advertising itself as a boutique adult only hotel which does not accept groups there were 2 large groups of men aged from40s to 60s staying there during our week. They took over the pool area after breakfast and stayed there until the pool closed at 7 when they moved to the adjacent bar. The noise levels were unbelievable and they became increasingly raucous as more drink was consumed. We complained to 2 different managers who both said they hated having these groups but there was nothing they could do as their superiors wanted the bookings and presumably the bar takings. The staff told us they hated serving them and begged us to speak to the manager. We couldn’t even take refuge in our room as the noise was so loud you clearly heard it. We spent most of week trying to stay away from the hotel.
The staff are very pleasant and the hotel is clean but tired. Someone should at least remove the Christmas arrangement from the reception ! Our room was basic in the extreme with a badly stained chair (the only one) and scraped and damaged units. It was below the level of the pool so you heard some sort of plumbing knocking through the night. There are 2 floors of rooms like this and you certainly don’t want one of these. There are 9 outside stone steps from these rooms to reach the hotel public areas and 9 outside steps down to street level. 
To top it all the house next door to the hotel has a large hound type dog which barks constantly including through the night. Don’t think it is ever walked and spends its life in a small enclosed area.
We returned home more frazzled than when we arrived. 
If the hotel bosses sorted things out this hotel has a good location and lovely staff but very soon it’s only guests will be drunken louts.

Such a disappointment

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in this hotel. We paid for a deluxe double room which was quite a hefty upgrade cost. 
The room was big and had a big balcony with lovely view. That’s where the good bits end. 
This was anything but a deluxe room so many issues with it, we don’t think it was a room usually used but we think they’d overbooked. 
Anyway lots of issues, we complained and were offered €50 per night refund which we accepted however when it was put back onto our card it was €15 per night, not what we thought we’d agreed. 
One of the balcony windows didn’t even have any glass in it just a flimsy sheet of plastic which rattled loudly all night. 
What should have been a restful few days turned into a stressful week.
