Having been to Albufeira far too many times to mention over the last few years, we were interested to hear from a Taxi driver (taking us from Faro to Albufeira) that we should try Tavira, where he lived, because it was less touristy and so on. We mistakenly listened to him and proceeded to book when we got back. This... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in June 08 and got a great deal through Laterooms for approx £65 per night for a double room with breakfast per night! Lovely room with Pool view on top floor which was great. Rooms are quite luxurious and very spacious - they also have well fitted out bathrooms. I would request a pool view... more

We booked a long weekend here as a break from the mundane life of the UK. This is a town which is yet to suffer the curse of mass tourism, we loved it. I read many reviews of this hotel before we arrived (once again after we booked) and feared the worst. I have to say, the beds were not... more

I have just come back from a week at this hotel with my husband and we both mostly agree with the previous reviews. The room was very clean and well set out but the beds were very hard! I woke up a bit sore if i didn't move around much during the night! We didn't find the noise a problem... more

The room was oddly furnished with no real place to simply sit... more

As others have pointed out when reviewing this Hotel there are two main issues in that the bedroom walls offer no noise protection and the beds are very hard. Don’t let this... more

My wife and I were looking to book our first holiday away together and wanted a place that offered a relaxing atmosphere, away from the usual rowdy Brit crowds. When we came across Tavira in the travel brochure it was described as a 'quieter resort'. The hotel looked nice enough in the brochure so we opted for a week in... more

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks stay at the Vila Gale and we couldn't fault the hotel except for one important thing....the soundproofing in the hotel was nil. Our room (which was large and comfy) was directly over the bar and entertainment area on the 2nd floor and sleeping was very difficult at times. The rooms... more
