Vila Gale Hotels in Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Antonio Marsh Natural Reserve from AU$167

"Very nice hotel near the shoreline. Staff was excellent. Several buffet offerings every day, included with my stay. Large outdoor pool with easy access to bar/restaurant."

"Todo genial!"

"Fabulous hotel, comfortable beds, very clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even though we've stayed in Maria Nova before we make a point of making a return trip simply because we are never disappointed. Its near (walking distance) shops, restaurants, bars cafe's and boat to the beach. Breakfast is good too."

"Good for kids (though few as it was school time!). Bar good - if noisy - but drinks and bar food was good value. Breakfast was disappointing in that while there was a lot of choice it was a shame better quality fresh ingredients (e g cheese - only one type and as another guest said to me: "straight out of a packet" - and prepared fruit was only tinned. To be fair, there was a good selection of fresh fruit. Waiting staff were very good. "

"Very helpful staff. Room was a bit small by American standards but very clean and nice with a beautiful balcony patio."

"Never visited the bar, or the restaurant, but our stay was outstanding. Beautiful pool, and kiddy pool, grounds were well kept, but there would be alot available to a family. Grocery store near by, and mall 1/4 mile south. I would absolutely stay here again."

"Good parking "

"We had a great stay at The Prime. Everybody was so nice and the room very nice and clean,we loved the breakfast buffet because it has a great variety of fresh food. Highly recommend! "

"Our room on the second floor overlooked the river and the ferry to Tavira Island. It was really nice. There is a beautiful sitting area on the second floor too. There are no lifts so pack light! The parking is about 150 m away. The included breakfast was adequate."
