Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Antonio Marsh Natural Reserve, Faro District hotel rooms at the Vila Gale Hotels

"We really love the hotel,, very relaxed atmosphere , clean, staff were very helpful and smiling all the time. Swimming pool was really well maintained, sun bed were comfortable. "

"Kitchen not well equipped for cooking, just warming up or cooking eggs, very few utensils and no oven. Cleaning staff friendly but not English speaking. Although Expedia stated that a hair drier available on request, we requested one and were told by the reception person that it was not available! Really disappointing, but parking very easy and location ok to walk to oldtown/ center town, although not always through sidewalks, watch the traffic and walk fast. "

"We had an excellent stay. The breakfast buffet was a lot more elaborate than we expected, including a great pianist that gave us the pleasure of listening to Pink Floyd during breakfast. Front desk staff were friendly and provided great restaurant suggestions. The star of the show, though, was the exceptional Brazilian girl that runs the spa. I lost my esteemed gold necklace in the change room and she was the sweetest helping me find it. Thank you so much!!!"
