Vila Gale Ampalius Resort Hotel

Everything was lovely. Nothing to complain about.

Breakfast produce could be improved and choice. The delay at the omelette station.

Just a few metres from the beach. If you’re not expecting a proper 4-star hotel, the place is decent (though more like a good 2-star or an average 3-star).

Dusty carpet in the corridors; the rooms also have partial carpeted flooring; Access to the spa and gym must be booked in advance every day (open only 9-20) , worn-out pool equipment, the parasols had to be closed in the afternoon because they were poorly made and couldn’t withstand the wind, breakfast lacked variety. A tip for the hotel: it would be better to remove the two chairs and the table from the room, as there isn’t enough space and they end up squeezed into the corner between the wall and the French windows, making it impossible to step out onto the balcony or use the table and chairs.

The breakfast was excellent. Comfortable spacious room, central location

My wife and I stayed in a twin bedded room on the ninth floor whilst our daughter and her family stayed in a family room / suite on the fourth floor. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. The rooms are large, bright, well equipped, including a kitchenette area, large bathroom, two large twin beds and a wide balcony. The choices at breakfasts are excellent: plenty of hot and cold choices, including an egg station where you can have an omelette, or other egg types, cooked to order. Plenty of yoghurt, yoghurt drinks, fruit, cereals, morning goods(croissants, rolls, cakes etc), sausage, bacon, cold meats, breads, fruit juices, water and hot drinks. There are three pools, one for small children and toddlers and two for adults: a smaller, quieter one at a constant 1.25m depth, the larger one is deeper at 2.25m. Adjacent to the larger pool is a bar serving cold drinks, iced creams and hot and cold dishes. We tried the Club sandwich, Cheese & Ham Toastie and Chicken Toastie ( all come with chips) which were tasty and good value for money. The hotel has its own coffee shop on the ground floor where you can buy hot and cold drinks, wine, beers and cakes. The coffee is good value: a latte or latte macchiato is only €2.20. There is a Jazz Bar on the ground floor where they hold evening events for children and adults. On the basement floor you will find the Spa, heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym. The spa, pool, jacuzzi and gym are free to use though you need to wear a swimming cap (€4 each). Treatments cost extra. The hotel is only a short walk from the large marina where there are many shops, bars, ice cream parlours and restaurants to chose from to suit all tastes and budgets. We enjoyed visits to News Bar ( excellent steak and cocktails), The Mayflower ( lamb chops, beef stroganoff, fish and meat curries) The Whale (Excellent burgers and fish and chips) and Luna Rossa ( excellent pizza, calzone, lamb chops and bologneses) The Vila Gala Ampalius is well worth considering if you are visiting Vilamora
