12 of us stayed here for a golf holiday. We got a free upgrade to a junior suite which was a lovely touch. The hotel is spotless and staff are friendly and helpful. The outside pool was a small bit cold but lovely once swimming. It's located 2 min from the beach and Marina. Definitely recommend

Rooms are dated and need a refresh, the wooden floors are peeling up. There was no hot water on our first night. The staff were not very Friendly for a 4 star hotel. They seem to have lost their understanding of hospitality. I would not go back.

Perfectly located on the beach, easy access on foot to marina and also to promenade which gives access to nearby Quarteria. Tourist train and bus stop very close to hotel entrance. It is nextdoor to Purobeach nightclub - wasn't open during our stay - week before Easter - but I would imagine the noise could be disturbing given proximity.
Room was very clean, with a tiny kitchenette which was useful, good bathroom & great shower. Huge balcony which overlooked beach, TV with some English channels which was useful during the rainy days we had. Room feels a little dated but all in good condition.
Breakfast was just okay. Coffee terrible, hot water for tea was lukewarm, but large selection and variety of food.
Only used indoor pool which is small and steam room, perfectly functional.
Hotel seemed to be catering hugely for golf groups with shuttle services to nearby courses.
Would stay again.

We had a lovely week at the Vila Gale' hotel the first week of January '24.Facilities were good,with an indoor pool,steam room,gym and sauna. Good breakfast buffet and a nice cafe for day time.There is also a Pizzaria Restaurant,which we ate in one night,that was good also.Hotel quite quiet at this time of year. Service was good and our room cleaned well.Had lovely sea view with large balcony.Excellent location and would have no hesitation in staying there again.

Lovely hotel right on the beach. We had a superior room on the top floor with a big balcony and stunning views. We had a kitchenette, which was a bonus as we were not expecting it, which we was very useful. Extremely clean , new towels and bedding which was also changed mid week. The cleaners respected the 'do not disturb ' room sign as just recovering from cancer find I get tired in the afternoon and fall asleep. It helped with the bed and pillows being so comfortable, and I slept better than I had for weeks. Breakfast was a delight, plenty to choose from from a cooked breakfast to a selection of breads, rolls, croissants, and pastries to yoghurt and fruit. Even a lovely Asian lady with a friendly smile who cooked pancakes and eggs should you wish. Pity the waiting staff were offhand, they were only clearing tables but an occasional smile wouldn't of hurt them. Location could not of been better right next to the harbour and a bus stop outside that took you into Quarteira for free or Albufeira and Faro at a cost. It was the last week in November and very quiet but that was just what we wanted
