Vila Gale Nautico

Trato excelente del personal, muy buena calidad en la comida y excelentes instalaciones y ubicación

O serviço de atendimento, muita desorganização. Atacada simpático mas sem orientação.

This is a very nice hotel and well located for the beach or other amenities. The rooms are large and clean with fresh towels in the bathroom whenever you need them. What lets this hotel down is the food in the main restaurant, especially the lunchtime buffet. The food was very limited and portions were small. One day the offering was hot dogs which you could get anytime at the pool bar. Breakfasts were the same every day and the evenings were also very much the same. The food at the pool bar during the day was good and offered fresh cooked burgers or filled baguettes. This was our second time at this hotel but we will not be going back.

This was my second stay at Vila Galé Náutico, we stayed here last August as a family of 4 and returned early June just myself and my 10 year old for a short break. The location of the hotel is great - just 40 minutes from Faro airport with the beach and a variety of restaurants just a few minutes walk away. We also found a quieter beach just 10 minutes walk up the road. There's also a Lidl within walking distance. ZooMarine is well worth a day trip (or 2!) and is only a short Uber ride away. The hotel is clean, modern and felt very safe. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Last year we did have an issue with ants in our room (don't leave food out!) but the hotel sorted this for us. This year the room was spotless. Last year we had a double family room with large terrace overlooking the pool, this year we had a twin room at the front of the hotel with a balcony which was overlooking a car park but did also have a sea view. The pool side rooms are very noisy in the evening as they are also over the restaurant and evening entertainment, but this always finished by 11pm. The room at the front of the hotel was much quieter with minimal road noise. Both rooms were spacious and comfortable with a mini fridge, safe, hairdryer etc. The outdoor pool is good - a little cold at first but not freezing, and even in August when the hotel was very busy it didn't feel overcrowded. It could do with a bit more of a clean around the waterline, especially around the steps but on the whole it feels well looked after. In August it was difficult to get loungers if you weren't down by mid-morning but in June there were loads available at all times of the day. We used the indoor pool last year but this year they were enforcing swimming hats so we gave it a miss. Last year we were All Inclusive and we found that the evening food wasn't the best. There was a variety of options, and the themed nights mixed it up, but it wasn't amazing. Our kids also found it difficult to find options they liked so we didn't feel like we quite got value for money there. The pool/snack bar however does great food during the day and the breakfast has a lot of different choices available. The Italian restaurant on site is also very good (ate there both times). This year we decided to skip the all inclusive so we got to see what the individual prices are like. At the snack bar a hot dog, or toastie with fries costs €6.50, and a burger with fries costs €12.50. Cocktails were €6.50 too. We avoided using the mini bar in the room as the prices were very high (but is included in the all inclusive). The Italian restaurant was about €40 for the 2 of us. Other nights we went out for food. Overall we thought it was a great hotel and would definitely stay again, although we would avoid the summer holidays as we liked it a bit quieter.
