“'An excellent hotel '”
The hotel was very comfortable and staff friendly and efficient. Reception staff are fluent in English. Breakfast was first class with an excellent choice in both continental or English. There was live entertainment on most nights we were there and both pools were clean and large enough to swim exercise in.
“Really Happy - Cant wait to go back”
This was the first holiday my partner and I went on together and found this hotel catered for all our needs. The staff were very friendly. The rooms were an ideal size for the two of us however we requested a double bed but got two twin beds placed together - although we did get a free upgrade and had a spare guest room, and a outdoor patio! - very nice! The pool area was really clean and pleasant. Their clientel is of an older age range, however this again is perfect for those that are looking for a nice quiet get away in which case was perfect for us. We had a bed and breakfast package and the breakfast was amazing. The quality of the food was really nice and catered every possible breakfast type you could ask for. The resort itself was rather quiet we found restaurants are a bit limited to what they offer however nonetheless still pleasing. We did say we would like to return here again but another relaxing holiday. So thumbs up to Villa Gale Nautico.
“Good Pool, Clean Hotel”
Vey nice clean hotel. Room was too small for an extra bed so if you have a child maybe get a suite. Excellent pool. Entertainment was o.k the reptile show was good except you cannot take photo's, only buy the ones they are taking. Only sell internet access by the hour & you have to use it all in one hit. No hotel telephone or cash facilities. A short walk from amenities & main bus stop. Lovely beach. Didn't feel happy leaving 4 year old at childrens club, lovely lady running it but activity was with sticks so not good with eight year olds pretending they are spears. Excellent toddler pool but no shelter over it. We ate there most nights as the children could play on the grass. Food was o.k but I guess you get what you pay for. Definately recommend resort, cleanliness of hotel & pools.
“Was better than the reviews I had read.”
Nice hotel, lovely swimming pool and hotel staff couldn't do more to help you. The room could have been cleaner but was not dirty. If you are looking for lots of restaurants nearby ie: saving a taxi fares then this is not the town to be. Really surprised at the lack of restaurants although those which are there are very nice.
“Not really for young people”
This place should generally be avoided by anyone under age of 50. Unless you plan to go to Portimao every day there is very little to do in hotel neighbourhood and hotel itself.
