We have recently come back from Vilamoura, Portugal and stayed at the Vila Gale Ampalius hotel. The hotel is situated in an ideal location literally on the beach and 2 minutes walk from the marina which has plenty of lovely restaurants and bars. The hotel is 4 star just! The reception is quite dark on arrival due to the wood... more

Vilamoura is a lovely resort spoiled for us by mediocre weather including a proper fog and a hotel that has lazy,indifferent staff and a lack of sunbeds. We usually go to Greece for our 2 week break in the sun and was disappointed with the cool, windy nights and on occasion - a proper pea souper of fog that descended... more

We booked half board which suited us as we had our "elderly" parents with us plus 2 teenagers there was a great choice of food both at breakfast... more

This was our honeymoon with our 18 month old daughter so we were hoping for a mixture of relaxation and fun for our little one. The hotel is perfectly situated for the beach and Marina and has easy access to shops selling swimming nappies etc. Everyone is VERY child friendly and our little girl has never had so much fuss... more

This is the second time we stayed at the Vila Gale and this year we took our daughter, son-in-law (+his parents) and 7 month old grand daughter. We had a fantastic time and cannot fault the hotel at all. Make sure you book a sea view with balcony as some of the rooms without sea views are small and dingy.... more
