6/10 Good

When we arrived there was nobody at reception to check us in. Eventually someone came out but he didnt know how to do it. The receptionist came out after a while and did it properly. They said there are only coffee making facilitys in the room by request , i requested a coffee machine then after it was delivered learmt that its a euro per coffee. Tnats the first hotel i have ever stayed in that charges coffee making facilities. Tbere was no iron in the room, i asked for one but they only offer a paid for pressing service. However the quickest turnaround in 24 hours for rhe more expensive express service which is no good for the eveing we arrived. The hotel itself is nice in a very quiet area just down the road from Gale beach which is lovely.

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.

8/10 Very good

Very close to the beach I found it so strange they didn't give out irons in the room, I landed and needed to go straight to a family event and they wouldn't provide an iron. At least provide an ironing room! Room service breakfast was very poor and I didn't get much of a welcome when I went to the standard breakfast, staff were a bit aloof. Hotel was really nice other than that - plenty of room by the pool.

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.

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. The staff throughout all went the extra mile to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. This is one of the few places we've been where we will immediately be planning a return visit.

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.

Pool is the highlight
Really great pool area which is the highlight of this hotel. Breakfast is ok, the fresh fruit selection is quite limited. Omelettes/pancakes on offer but couldn’t find the chef to make them. Would be nice if there was a clear eating area outside for breakfast. Room was clean and tidy, having to pay each day for new coffee pods really sets the wrong tone for a 4* hotel, quite odd and never experienced that before. Gym was small but had good basic equipment. Very close to the beach.

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.
