Pros:

Tolle Lage, an einem der schönsten Strände! Großzügiges, sauberes Zimmer und sehr sehr freundliches Personal!!! Kostenlose Parkplätze befinden sich vor dem Hotel. Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit frisch zubereiteten Eierspeisen. Riesengroßer Pluspunkt für uns - Adults only und der kleine feine Wellnessbereich!

5 días de relax y tranquilidad.
Pros:

Ubicación, amabilidad del personal, tranquilidad

Cons:

Fue todo genial, aunque la noche que cenamos en el restaurante, los platos era ciertamente escaso, sobre todo los postres en relación a su precio.

Stylish hotel in beach location
Pros:

The hotel was exceptionally clean and although not huge, was well equipped. Breakfast offered good options with a fresh omelette station. We visited at Christmas so didn’t use the pool which is outdoor but it was wonderful looking, surrounded by manicured lawns and gardens. The location was low key and relaxing with the beach a 3 min walk and then a network of boardwalks allowed for strolls in all directions. The staff were very good and helpful in particular the restaurant and bar staff. Overall very impressed

Cons:

A small gripe but the breakfast coffee is not great and an espresso machine would help

Relax e benessere
Pros:

Mi è piaciuta soprattutto l'area della spa. Non molto grande, ma dotata di sauna, bagno turco e piscina idromassaggio, con vista sul giardino. Molte apprezzate anche la piccola palestra e una stanzetta per fare yoga. Ottima posizione, facilmente raggiungibile con l'autobus e a 5 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia. Camera grande con terrazzino (da cui si vede il mare) e letto enorme comodissimo. Tutto il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. Essendo bassa stagione, la scelta per colazione e cena era ridotta (cena à la carte e colazione in parte a buffet), ma comunque di ottima qualità. Ho gradito l'upgrade con una camera a un piano più alto, data la bassa affluenza in quel periodo. Belle passeggiate in zona (Lagoa dos Salgados).

Cons:

Scoprire solo al momento del check-in che alcuni servizi erano ridotti data la bassa stagione.

Fantastic property in good location, feels like home
Pros:

This property is the original in the Villa Gale Collection properties, but does not disappoint. The property is close to the beach which stretches for kilometers. A popular site for surfers, there is a surf shop, surf culture cafe in the same building as well as a great restaurant which can be added to your meal options for the hotel. Property normally has a buffet breakfast, but as it was near end of season and the property would be closing for winter, hot items could be ordered a la carte. The staff here was amazing, friendly and helpful, especially when we tried to pronounce some of the items on the menu. Fresh fruits, breads, cheeses, and cold meats were available on the buffet. The friendly staff members seemed always happy to assist.
There was free parking in front of the hotel, but sometimes during the day when it was busy at the other shops, parking may be scarce. But we had no real issues. We attempted to use the pool one day, but found it too chilly. Note that it had rained with cold wind as the storm passed through and did some heavy damage to the surrounding towns.
We chose this property in Albufeira as a central base to our touring to Villamoura and Portimao. Although the hotel is somewhat out of the way there are plenty of dining options close by that would be open during the high season, still we had not issues finding great food in the establishments on site.
A car would be recommended if staying at this property.

Cons:

The only complaint we would have was the weather. It rained for 4 of the 5 days we stayed here. We were assure that this years storm season was not the norm.
