Me and my girlfriend are a young couple (23 and 21) that went to Vila Gale Amaplius from June 27th - July 4th. To begin with the journey from the airport was only 20 minutes which seemed to fly by because of the views and the fact we were both very excited. When we got to the hotel we were... more

We went on June 15th for a week, B & B. The hotel is 2 mins from the beach and has a great pool - although get your towels down early for a good spot in peak season (which is soon). Drinks by the pool bar were expensive but the euro has made that an issue these days. The beach... more

Just returned from the Ampalius and had a really lovely time. The hotel is right on the sea front and the room we were given (which we were upgraded to having booked a partial sea view) was excellent. Really big with twin beds, a table and chairs, full bathroom and kithenette which was really useful to have. The balcony was... more

Some rooms are already refurbished, and some of them have a litlle kitchenette. The view of the sea view rooms are amazing. more

Just returned from a week at the Ampalius with my partner and young baby. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach and a stones throw from the marina where there is a huge selection of restaurants etc. As soon as we checked in I understood what people meant about the staff. I've never come across reception... more
