"We had river view room 1st floor overlooks where beach island ferry docks. All very clean and helpful staff. Some minor music noise from below until around midnight but not that loud. Comfortable bed and bathroom all good. Breakfast included was fine with some hot eggs and bacon as well as numerous cold choice options. Easy nice walk along river walkway to roman bridge(5min) and many resturants. We eat in hotel resturant 1st night and good value for money. Parking free about 5min easy flat walk.Would stay again."
"We absolutely loved Vila Galé Tavira! From our amazing check-in staff to the entertainment and vibrant atmosphere right along the riverside in the heart of Tavira’s culinary delights, this property is a MUST STAY and made for a truly pleasant experience.
The outdoor pool and patio area were wonderful spots to relax and soak up the sunshine by the Gilão riverfront. (The onsite gym is cozy, too, with adequate equipment to get a good sweat while on property).
The experience was similar to being on a cruise ship with all of the scheduled events. The pool was incredible. You can spend all day at the pool and be entertained the entire time. We had Sangria making classes, water dance and aerobic classes.
The second tier of the pool has private cabanas on a first come first serve basis. Well worth it for an afternoon siesta. The onsite gym is cozy and has adequate equipment to get a good sweat on while on property.
The only thing that was not a perfect score was the breakfast. It had a lot of offerings but not as delightful as I would have preferred. I did like the fact that it was included in the price of the room though, it made mornings relaxed.
All in all, I would definitely return and highly recommend it for your visit to the Algarve."
"Lovely stay, I’m just not sure I would stay again due to how big and easy to get lost it is, and far away from reception, but that’s just me, everything else fab! Staff do help with dropping you to the door with bags too and all staff were friendly and helpful, I loved the aqua Zumba too, the room wasn’t really set up in a practical way but easy enough to move the beds together and for a side table, nice balcony lovely view and the beach near by is so nice!! You can either enjoy a nice stroll along the tracks or take the free train. Thanks so much!"
"Lovely hotel and in great location for restaurants and beach. Fab breakfast too.
Negatives was pool and availability of loungers - we didn’t get access on 3-4 times we tried to use the pool as there were no loungers available at all or any seats in the shade - not great if you don’t like the beach.
Also no introduction to any of the hotel amenities by the reception staff on arrival. I was aware that there were bikes available but none seen during our visit; no idea where the spa was! I’m aware we could have asked but why wouldn’t this be spoken about at check in?
Our room was perfectly clean during our stay with lovely rituals toiletries and fresh bottled water daily but I wouldn’t bother with a suite upgrade as the living space consisted of an uncomfortable sofa bed and small table in a dark room at the back of the space - weird layout!"
"Arrived checked in with no problems and shown to our room , which was a triple deluxe room. Lovely comfy beds-even the sofa bed was very comfortable!
Bathroom was very spacious and towels changed daily, we had to squish a few ants but I guess you can expect that in Portugal.
Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. I especially liked the small plates- stops people taking huge potions and wasting lots! The dining room was lovely- not so ‘canteen like’. Highlight at breakfast was the pastel de nata- which were freshly cooked and still warm on occasions! We only used the hotel restaurant on 2 occasions but were very pleased with what we ate there.
The swimming pool was lovely- great atmosphere, nice and quiet with no loud music! We were a group of 3 and could always get loungers. We made use of the free beach towels too- nice touch.
We used the minibus into tavira and the beach which was great, the only criticism was the bus didn’t start early enough, run late enough or often enough, so we used Uber taxis which were cheap enough at 7-10 Euros each way.
I would definitely stay here again and Tavira town is beautiful- hoping to return!"
