I had a delightful few days here on my solo holiday. The hotel facilities are lovely and clean. The gym is really decent for a hotel gym, the free sauna and steam room are a great touch. Breakfast had lots of options. The pool area was so nice and quiet. I loved the local area too, I enjoyed my morning walk along the coastal boardwalk, and the beach is great for watching the sunset. I'd definitely choose this hotel for a quiet relaxing break if you want to avoid the "brits abroad" rowdy crowd in other Algarve areas. I'll be back!

Nice to stay at a hotel with visible management and staff who really care about the guests experience and put their satisfaction at a priority.

It is a wondwrful hotel. However, there was construction work going on such as grinding of cement at 8:30 a.m. Bed was too hard for me and shower was slippery. Tge hotel provided a mattress topper and a shower mat. Made all the difference.

Excelent choice for those who want to spend quiet holidays and don´t have any children that are not allowed. Great pool and spa and a few minutes walk to the beach. Very good service and a big variety of choices for lunch and dinner as well as drinks. Not very expensive having a good value for money.

We really enjoyed the fact that the hotel only has 42 rooms. Also, it is outside of the city but so close to the beach. The staff were all amazing and so helpful. Breakfast was included and it had a huge choice of options to choose from. Our favourite hotel during our Portugal trip.

For anyone wanting a relaxed and peaceful holiday - this hotel fits the bill. Situated a minute away from a fabulous beach, the hotel is spotless, the staff are amazing -professional and friendly. The food is delicious - breakfast provides everything you would want and the dinners are amazing - love the Sea Bass - compliments to the chef! There is a beautifully maintained pool area with sunlight all day. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and no question that we will go back again.

Vila Gale is a small hotel in a nice location about a 3 min walk from a lovely beach. I liked that the hotel is not in a busy town but had a more relaxed vibe. Rooms were nice and there is a pillow menu but you need to ask. Breakfast had many options and everything was fresh. The pool area is beautiful and lunch by the pool was great. It is an easy drive or walk to several restaurants and not too far from Albuferia. I can definitely recommend this hotel.

Best of Albufeira

A wonderful holiday here. It was very quiet since it is adults only. Great free breakfast, wonderful staff! The pool wasn’t heated and was a bit cold. We wished they had no smoking on the balconies. Our neighbor smoked continuously out there. Strangely there’s no address so finding it was very difficult.

Hotel was clean and comfortable

This hotel was very nice, however it was not worth the price we paid when comparing to other places we have stayed. One would not expect water stains in the ceilings and mould in the tub when paying over $300 per night. Hotel was clean and quiet -however they seemed to be low on staff-considering a few staff members commented about just how busy they were. The beach is so close and beautiful-which is a major selling point for sure!!Would we stay again? Likely not given the price and amenities offered.

All the hotel staff were so friendly and very helpful, I can’t praise them enough. The little things (like offering to bring breakfast to my table) meant so much to me as mobility can be rubbish some days. We never felt that we had to go out and find things to do, just chilling by the pool or relaxing in the jacuzzi was just what we needed. Rooms were very spacious and very clean. Everyone had respect/consideration for each other which made the holiday even more enjoyable and relaxing. We enjoyed it that much that we have booked again for next year for an even longer stay. I really recommend this lovely hotel
