    5 / 5 Excellent
    The staff at Vila Gale were incredible and my stay was very enjoyable. I booked a Junior Suite Ocean View, but upon arrival the room I was provided did not have a table / desk suitable as a work space. The staff and management found me another room immediately (which was in fact an upgrade). I will be back again next trip to the Algarve!…

    Very comfortable stay. Great location near the beach and marina. Older building refurbished. Nice gardens and pools (Spa closed due to Covid, but looked very good). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, with plenty of variety and food was kept well heated..(breakfast male staff could take a bit more of the strain off their female colleague). Would stay here again. Good value for money.…

    5 / 5 Excellent
    We came from another 5 star hotel in Albufeira and we immediately loved this one, it is all the other one wasn’t. It is classy, quiet, the apartments are very large and comfy, the kitchen has every single detail and the bathrooms are clean and modern. The toiletries are from Rituals! The garden is very big, has a large barbacue area and a jacuzzi. The hotel is on the beach and has 3 pools (1 indoors) and a nice restaurant. The restaurant is a little expensive but the staff and food are great. We loved it so much we booked another 9 nights immediately. …
