| said: The Hotel was in a great location, just 2 minutes walk to the Marina and about 5 minutes to the beach. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were done every day. We stayed on a half board basis. Most people staying at this hotel were on B&B so every morning was quite busy, but in the evenings there were probably only about 50 people in the restaurant and the food was really good. It was piping hot, fresh and there was plenty of options. The only thing we were'nt impressed with was the entertainment. Not enough by far during the day and the evening.

Have stayed her on several ocasions and is just the job. Rooms are clean and well presented and all overlook the pool / marina. Outdoor pool will certainly wake you up - well cold, but has a little indoor pool that is heated for all you wimps like me.
Breakfast is basic but fills the gap if you are shoting off out early for a round of golf. Nice informal atmosphere in the lobby with liile bar and ample spread out seating.
Two minute walk to all the restaurants and bars that the mrina has to offer.

| said: the vila gale marina was spotless, beds were made and towels were changed everyday. we were up early every morning so the restaurant was always quiet and there was always plenty (although the sausages were hot dogs and the bacon very fatty.) that is my only complaint. all in all an excellent base for golfers.

| said: Situated within 100 metres of the marina, the location of this hotel cannot be faulted! The rooms although basic are clean and offer views of the port and the staff offer typical portuguese friendliness.
The food however offered in this hotel was not at the same standard as the above. In a 4 star hotel, I would have expected a wider choice of food with better presentation of it. Unfortunately, breakfast time was like a cattle market with even tea and coffee having to be self service - not a great start to the day when even the coffee machines didn't work and food was not replenished regularly.
The pool area was equally competitive with all sunbeds being covered with towels by 7am every morning! The better option was to hit the beach.
Had I paid for a 2/3 star holiday, I would not have minded the above so much - unfortunately however, I left this hotel feeling slightly conned. Perhaps the grading of this hotel should be lowered.

| said: We went to the Algarve for the first time and stayed at Vila Gale Marina. We could not fault the hotel itself, however, the evening entertainment was dire.
But the hotel was spotless, and facilities were excellent. There was an in-door pool which was quiet at all times, a Turkish bath (steam room), Jacuzzi, gym, and games room.
The outdoor pool area did get busy during the day, but if you couldn't get a sun-lounger, you could sit at the table and chairs set out just by the pool area.
Breakfasts were really good, wide variety of food, and always hot and items were replenished constantly.
We have no hesitation in recommending the hotel - it was fabulous.

| said: Vila Gale Marina is well situated in Vilamoura, close to the Marina & beach. Hotel is 'horse-shoe' shaped and our romms were at the 'back of the horse-shoe'overlooking the swimming pool and with good views of the Marina.
Rooms were spacious with good -sized balconies and spotlessly clean. Maid service every day - clean towels & bedding etc. Downside of rooms ... poorly lit, no fridge(mini-bar), TV Channels limited,no tea/coffee making facilities.
Room service excellent though, and staff very helpfull and courteous. Food at the hotel was very good, buffet breakfast, and evening meals are either buffet or 'a la carte' good value.
Indoor pool small and very warm(caps compulsory)outdoor pool good size and freezing, Will probably get warmer into the season. We would certainly use this hotel again.

| said: This hotel was great. The beds are nice with proper sheets that are not sandy, hard and smelly like you usually get in hotels. The staff here are very nice and speak english well. The food is nice, but you do get bored with it after two weeks. didn't stay to watch the evenings shows much, the couple that I did see were more for kids. I would recomend this hotel to families and couples for a low relaxing holiday.

| said: Have just returned from the Vila Gale Marina, found it to be a very nice 4* hotel. Clean, large rooms with air con, tv. Staff very polite, rooms cleaned & towels changed every day.
Only had one down point as far as I found - you had to pay extra for the use of the sauna & jacuzzi.
I would definately return to this hotel.

P.s In response to the last post, just move the towels off the sunbed & park yourself down. I am sure the management will back you up if there is a fuss.

| said: Absolutely lovely hotel, would go back tomorrow. Rooms to a very high standard, staff very polite, stayed b&b the food was fabulous, and ate there at lunchtimes.
The only thing which was a bit annoying, the hotel was mainly frequented by english people, but you still couldnt get a sunbed! The sad people put their towels out at around 8am!! By 10am the beds were all gone! But most of them didnt get on the beds till 2pm.
