Maravilhosa
Pros:

Hotel incrível. Fomos com um bebe de 8 meses e nos sentimos super bem acolhidos. Os funcionários são ótimos, nos ajudaram em tudo. Amamos a hospedagem, limpeza, paisagem, receptividade e edução dos recepcionistas e funcionários do restaurante. As piscinas são agradáveis e agora são todas cobertas.

Cons:

O único ponto a melhorar é a variedade do cardápio do restaurante no jantar. Há poucas opções de quentes no jantar e as carnes poderiam ter melhor qualidade.

Fantásticos dias de absoluto descanso no Vila Galé.
Pros:

O hotel está absolutamente bem enquadrado com o espaço envolvente, tem exelentes serviços e a habitual qualidade do Grupo Vila Galé. Uma nota de agradecimento aos funcionários, cujo profissionalismo e simpatia são de notar, especialmento o Rafael e a Rita, que ficaram na memória. Nota muito positiva para os serviços do SPA, e para as suas funcionárias.

Cons:

Uma pena o banho turco estar fora de serviço, não sendo algo muito substancial, acrescentaria mais qualidade à area de SAP.
