Just back from a week in this hotel. Felt like a 5 star. Breakfast was fab every morning. Hot food was tasty. Fresh fruit. The spa was just amazing. Nice to wander about in fluffy robe for the day if you wanted. Sauna and steam room plus jacuzzi were clean and uncrowned. Buses several times a day to Albufeira. Beach... More

This hotel only has 40 rooms, and clearly aimed at couples and families with older children. Don't expect large king size beds, but two large singles pushed together. This is the only negative. The hotel itself has an extremely friendly atmosphere, with nothing too much trouble to the staff. When you walk into the hotel, you don't get the usual... More

I was just about to book this hotel for a family golf week in Algarve (3 rooms). The choice was based on recommendations of previous guests. Because there was no information about kids on the website of the hotel, I decided to contact them directly and wasn't expecting such disgrace!! Indeed, the person of the hotel told me straight away... More

We very rarely go back to a hotel, but we were so pleased that we did. This is the hotel to stay at if you want a quiet and peaceful holiday, the staff are lovely and we asked for a top floor room and got one of the rooms with a terrace and the room itself was larger than the... More

Ok, let's get the negatives out of the way first (there weren't many): the building is pretty ugly from the outside; they don't do double beds - just single beds pushed together; you have to pay extra for access to the gym/sauna etc. Other than than, this hotel is better than perfect. As every turn we were surprised by how... More

We stayed here for 4 days during our European honeymoon! I wish we had stayed longer. The staff at the hotel was exceptional, they met our every need and even greeted us with a bottle of champagne and a fresh fruit platter when we arrived. The room was very clean and modern, and the bed was one of the best... More

We stayed at Vila Gale for four nights two weeks ago and it was lovely. We booked the night before based on Trip Advisor reviews and we are glad we did. Located 10min (10euros) around the corner from Albuferia in a quite suburb, it is peaceful (literally silent) and relaxing. The beach is glorious and golden and not too crowded.... More

We spent 3 days at Hotel Vila Gale... Totally relaxing and laid back. The location is amazing. it is a 5 minute walk to the Gale beach, which almost means you never want to leave the area. The staff was extremely helpful, did everything with a smile and always were willing to go out of their way. One thing we... More

A wonderful hotel in a quiet location near to a fantastic beach and only a 10 euro taxi ride to Albufeira. We thought this hotel was fantastic with a lovely pool area where there were always plenty of loungers, staff were always helpful and all requests were carried out with a smile. we were a party of 3 couples and...

Just returned from seven nights at this hotel, booked after reading other holidaymakers' reports on Trip Advisor. The reception for my wife and I was superb. One very pleasant young lady went through all the necessary admin procedures, while another presented us with cold lemon tea and damp towels to refresh us after our journey. We'd arrived with another couple... More
