We just returned after staying 6 nights at Vila Gale Atlântico, 2 adults and 2 young kids. This has been our 6th trip to Gale so we know the are fairly well . The hotel is located by a lovely sandy long beach , ideal for families with young kids like us. Gale is a much quieter, nicer and dare me to say upper class area than the crowds found in Albufeira town, nice restaurants, beach bar and stunning clean beach , it really is a little gem . If you are looking for the cheap drinks, karaoke bars, late music bars etc then you must stay out of Gale as not for you, this is a quiet nice area. Vila Gale Altlantico - we booked a sea view suite , hotel location is excellent just 5 minutes walking to beach and with our favourite supermarket Apolonia down the road ( you can get Portuguese take away food to hotel/pizza/sushi, the quality of the food is very good). There is also a number of restaurantes walking distance from hotel although a car is highly reccommended to one exploring the area. Hotel—Reception: very beautiful decor, modern , luxurious feel . Check-in however very unimpressive, we were mostly just handled our keys, no information given so we had to return to Reception a number of times to ask for things . Also we felt staff a bit rigid. Room : very spacious, very clean , lovely see views from second floor. Yes decor a bit outdated but didn’t bother us. Facilities: nice pools, indoor pool was cold , games room, jacuzzi . Would definitely return .

Easy walking distance to a fun beach (Galé). Perfect hotel for families with young kids with the playground and waterslides. Room can use some updating and a deep cleaning. Bed was awful. Beware that if you get 3 twin beds that it means 2 twin beds pushed together and a roll in bed.

Nice features in an older hotel in a quiet area of
This hotel is located about 10 minutes by car from downtown Albufeira where the action is. On the upside the location is very close to Playa Galé which is beautiful beach where you walk West a long way to the next fishing village. The hotel staff are kind and helpful. The outdoor pool area is nice with lots of chairs. The room we stayed in had a separate bedroom and partial kitchen which a little tired. Vinyl flooring is a positive alternative to carpet.

Great location and a nice hotel
A lovely spot with a 5 min walk to an excellent beach with gentle surf. Hotel is a bit dated but functional. Lots of car spaces for hire cars. Tired but spacious rooms. Tiled floor on ground floor rooms was very noisy. Wifi dropped out a lot.
Dear Guest, We thank your preference. The hotel is 29 years old, but we at the last years we renovated, the lobby, exterior area, restaurant and rooms. The hotel has also rooms with vinyl floor. All the corridors are in carpet to retain the noise. I hope you had time to participated in our entertainment program. Kind Regards César Gaspar (manager)

Nice 4 star hotel, walkable to the beach.
We went in October and couldn't fault the hotel even though our room got flooded after a couple of large downpours within the first few days of our stay and they had to move us to another room.
