An adequate hotel if you get a cheap rate. Our room faced the petrol station - good to watch the storks nesting but not pretty. Room was very clean and housekeeping excellent. BUT we found the beds extremely hard. Prewarned by other Tripadvisor reviews we had taken two small foam cushions with us and that saved our hips - we... More

I stayed at Vila Gale Hotel Tavira with my husband at the end of April. We got a really good deal with B&B at this hotel. The hotel itself is clean and the rooms comfortable, our room was at the front of the hotel, so we had no sun, the reception staff were very helpful and did offer to change... More

We arrived late at night and did have a little trouble finding the hotel, but the reception staff were very helpful and even kept the bar open at 1am. so we could have a drink. Hotel was clean and tidy. The breakfast was adequate with a good choice of fruit cereals and cooked food although it was kept hot via... More

Stayed in the Vila Gale over the Easter period, hotel was quite full over the Easter weekend but much quieter the following week. Stayed in a twin bed (they dont have any doubles) 3rd floor room (3038) - asked for pool view which we could just see if we strained over the balcony. Can imagine the city view rooms might... More

Attacked in Tavira My wife and I stayed for seven nights in the Vila Gale Hotel in Tavira in March 2012. We found the hotel and the staff to be first class, but we were not prepared for what occurred in Tavira town on our second night. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful and safe holiday destination in Portugal.... More

I stayed at the hotel for 3 days in April. I think that Tavira itself isn't great but the location of the hotel in Tavira is pretty good. The rooms were exactly what I expected, shame they don't have a safe, though. Food was excellent and the service was great, all in all I recommend this hotel for those who... More

Short break with friends in Portugal found us in this hotel, what a find for the money. met some other guests staying in the hotel who were with a well known holiday company who use the hotel, they were flabbergasted at the deal we had for dinner, bed and breakfast as they had payed so much more. Stayed in a... More

Stayed here for a short Spring break. Large, air-conditioned comfortable room with excellent bathroom. Private balcony - not a great view, but OK. Very good breakfast, and an excellent evening buffet - although you may want to take advantage of the many excellent restaurants in town. Try Aqua Sul, O Patio, Brisa do Rio. Very pleasant, helpful staff, and 2... More

We have stayed in the Vile Gale Tavira on 3 occassions and have always found it to be of a decent standard. Rooms are quite big,the beds are comforable and the bathrooms have a good high- pressure shower. Sound-proofing between rooms could be better. Service at the front desk, indeed throughout the hotel, is friendly and professional. Rates are competative... More
