Barranco do Demo Walkways, Monchique hotel rooms at the Vila Gale Hotels

"Lovely hotel overlooking the beach. Staff were very welcoming. Very pleasant walk into Alvor along boardwalk. We were given an upgrade to our room which was a nice surprise. Breakfast had a great selection on offer. We preferred to eat in bar as opposed to the buffet in the main restaurant. Very enjoyable stay overall."

"Heaven "

"The hotel was great. Was with my 6 and 8 year olds and they loved the kids club, kept them entertained all day as the weather was bad. You can book two slots a day for the indoor pool which was great, you have to wear a swim hat, you can purchase from the spa is you don’t have for 4 euros. The breakfast was good, everything you would want, fruit, pastries, cheese, hot food, cakes, croissants the lot. Personally i wouldn’t do a half board or all inclusive as i like to eat out at different places. I did however get lunch one day from the pool cafe and unfortunately its wasn’t great. So I would recommend the hotel on a bed and breakfast basis. The rooms were good, I didn’t find the beds that comfy but we are all different. I would sta again as thought the value for money was absolutely excellent."

"Clean room, freindlt staff "

"Excellent location, very nice and cozy place with 6 bays of private parking and the owners are extremely friendly, will definitely stay there whenever we visit algarve, highly recommended for a family vacation. We stayed in the master suite and it has ample space for 6 people, with a fridge, microwave , kettle and a coffee machine, the balcony was enormous, private parking for at least 6 cars, swimming pool and hot tub for all guests, simply amazing… "

"Lovely hotel, it delivered above my expectations. I went earlier to deposit my bag, but was allowed to check in almost three hours early, by a very friendly and helpful gentleman. Room was dated, yes, but clean and in decent condition. The whole building is very noisy, you can hear lots of noise from the street, the hallway and the neighbouring rooms. The fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night, which is obviously annoying, but better safe than sorry. It was false alarm on both occasions. I would definitely stay there again for a short break. "

"Our suite was roomy, clean & well-equipped with appliances and dishes/cutlery. The air conditioning unit in the bedroom didn't respond to adjustments (e.g. it just continued on the coldest setting so we had to turn it off occasionally at night), but the unit in the living room cooled enough for us. It would be nice to have "regular" hangers in the closets ( vs. the ones that have to be hung in the slots that are attached to the rod) and it would also be nice to have the unit stocked with kleenex (tissues). "

"Wonderful place in a great location and the restaurant is outstanding. "
