My girlfriend & I spent 1 week at the Da Gale in September 2012, I will list each department and write a brief honest description. The Room - We had a room without a balcony, so can only give our opinion of a 'standard' room, it was clean and very basic, It is suitable for backpackers or someone who is... More

My girlfriend and I spent 1 week in September 2012. Very nice views, lovely area and amazing weather. The hotel had a nice little swimming pool and was very peaceful.

IT IS ALSO NOT A MATERIALISTIC COUNTRY WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A DISPOSABLE WAY OF LIFE AS SOME COUNTRIES DO! If you want a hotel which is very clean (and... More

My friend and I got back from staying in Hotel da Gale last week, and having only booked 3 hours before we left for Luton, we were pleasantly suprised by the whole experience. The hotel is situated in a prime location, it has nearby restaurants, bars, mini-markets, Albufeira old town is merely a 5 minute walk, as is the beach.... More
