The hotel is in a fantastic location, and the bedrooms are immaculate. However, the food is distinctintly average and the service is very poor. Four nights out of 6 we were not asked what we would like to drink and the waiters were surly and grubby looking. The most disappointing aspect was the pool as the hotel brochure does not... More

1) Whilst the Hotel room was clean and comfortable enough, the balcony was in such a position that we never saw the sun all day. The room was right in the corner of the Hotel 2) The Hotel brochure clearly states that the room has a safety deposit box, which indeed it had but what it fails to mention is... More

Just returned from 7 nights at the Vila Gale Marina. The hotel is alittle dated and would have been a four star 10 years ago, its does look its age but is very clean with comfortable rooms. If you enjoy sitting around the pool, then you'll need to get up early as the area is small for the size of... More

We have just returned from 10 days at the Villa Gale Marina and although we enjoyed our holiday and the location of the hotel was very good, our experience at the hotel, particularly the staff were disappointing. First impressions of the reception was that of a 3* hotel at best as it was very dated and in obvious need of... More

First time we've been to portugal. This hotel has a sister hotel in the same area. The hotel was spotless with maid service every day. Most rooms have a pool view.

The marina was a great place to wander about ,calling into various places etc...The hotel lobby was a little dowdy without atmosphere and... More

Great location next to the mairna with great bars and restaurants. Get a room 4th floor or above for good view but rooms quite small. Breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about. Free beach towel from reception which was good. Would def go back to Vilamoura again for a relaxing holiday but prob not this hotel. More

Whilst not an unpleasant stay, there are some aspects that could have improved our holiday. The rooms are fairly spacious, but the beds are really poor and Walls paper thin, leading to a disturbed nights sleep - okay of you're planning to sleep around the pool all day. Balcony views were restricted. The pool area is rather small and beds... More

I spent a week at the Vila Gale Marina with my wife and 11 month old son. All in all we had a really good holiday. Location - The location of the hotel is ideal, situated on the marina. The marina is the hub of the resort with many shops, bars and restaurants all within a stones throw of the... More
