Vila Gale Albacora

Hotel yang sangat bagus dengan sejarah dan cerita. Bahkan jika hotel tidak sepenuhnya dipesan, restorannya berisik. Karena konsep buffetnya sangat membingungkan. Staf restoran tidak terlalu memperhatikan para tamu. Sayangnya. Ada juga banyak serangga yang menyengat, harap perhatikan bulan Oktober atau bahkan siang hari.

Fue una sorpresa encontrar a Tavira uno de los mejor hoteles que he visitado en mi vida. Ubicacion my linda con un barco que te trae a la playa cada hora, las abitaciones son de buen tamano y limpia, la piscina grande con el agua climatizada o la piscina con spa cubierta. Termina todo con un buen restaurante a buffet o a la carta. Con este dinero no pensava encontrar todo esto, casi da 5 estrellas

Very poor service in patio restaurant, some guests waiting up to two hours for food. Did not seem to care about complaint. In the past we have always enjoyed lunch here, though service always slow if more than a few guests. Disappointing there was a lack of concern that we cancelled order after a long wait

We stayed here for 4 days as a big group of 3 families with ages ranging from 8-70! Our room was perfectly comfortable, and surprisingly good power shower! The breakfast was great, drinks very good and extremely reasonably priced. Dinner could have been better, but there was a food range and for the price, really can't complain! Pool is one of the coldest I've experienced, but very beautiful and the children loved the slides. There were plenty of loungers and even at 9 or 10 you could easily find plenty. Without a doubt, what made our stay was Rodrigo and the other animation team members, they are simply amazing! We never like to use kids clubs, as I don't feel comfort leaving my children with strangers, but Rodrigo would come every day and entertain them, play football with them and they absolutely adored him! The rest of the team also, were just so much fun and a joy to be around. We did tbe dolphin spotting trip from the hotel with very low expectations and were so happy that we had an amazing experience! The crew were excellent and we got to spend a wonderful morning surrounded by dolphins which we will never forget! The only negative was that we got eaten alive daily by mosquitos due to the location, but it felt worth it! Take plenty of mozzy spray!

Had a wonderful time with my family. From the start to the end the staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were very clean. Only good things to say. Thank you.

This a large hotel with quite a corporate feel. Its origins as accommodation for tuna fishermen are interesting, and add some character in the form of the retention of some of the communal buildings. Our room was comfortable and well equipped, but it is important to manage the significant presence of mosquitoes on the site. It is a novel location close to an extensive beach and lagoon. Dinner and breakfast were reasonable, although the size of the hotel makes the dining room a busy place.

The bathroom was very nice - a good shower, good quality towels, room to put our toilet articles, well lit. I wish I could say the same for the bedroom. The floor tiles near the door had not been laid well, and one tile was too high and the door stuck on it. There were no drawers to put things when we unpacked, so we had to pile them on a long table on the wall opposite the beds. The rods for hanging clothes in the closet ran front to back instead of sideways across the closet, so it was difficult to hang clothes. And the room was very dark. I had trouble seeing the numbers on the combination lock on my suitcase, and even with a headlamp reading anything was difficult. There was no overhead light, just four lamps, and the switch for one of the lamps had gotten behind the long table, which was too heavy to move, so I had to get down on the floor and reach under the table to get at the switch. The lobby was very nice, with a comfortable sitting area, but the door was open most of the time, so the place was full of mosquitos. Staff was very nice and helpful, and when we reported a leak under our sink, it was repaired very promptly. The best thing about this hotel in my opinion was the dining room, where there was an excellent breakfast and dinner buffet with a huge variety of very good food.

Stayed at this hotel for the second year in a row following my cousin having his wedding here last year. I absolutely love this hotel. The food is amazing as are the services provided by the hotel. It has a very relaxing and peaceful vibe. Special shout out to the bartenders: Keegan and Pedro! They really took care of my family and I. They made us feel very welcome and well looked after. They are both very special and interesting individuals who I really enjoyed speaking to. I'm glad to have met them. They also make fantastic cocktails. Another special shout out to The Animation Team, they were tireless in their efforts to involve guests in fun daily activities around the pool as well as providing amazing entertainment in the evenings. They are all incredible entertainers and very good at looking after guests and getting people involved. They helped us create a lot of good memories during our stay here. The personal touch at this hotel is definitely there. Tavira Island is just a short boat ride away. You can also get a river taxi from the pier by the hotel up to Tavira Town. I love the vibe of this place and I think this will be a hotel my family and I will want to regularly visit in the future for our family holidays. I will definitely be looking to come back here next year to relax and have fun. Thanks Vila Galé Albacora, I'll see you next year!

Located on the site of an old fishing village. They have renovated everything to a high standard. Staff are very helpful. Rooms are a decent size and comfortable. The decor feels dated but I suspect that is because it has been kept in keeping with the original function. Breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of hot and cold options. A la carte and buffet in the evening are also very good. The buffet seems to be included in the large groups who can visit which creates a bit of congestion so that night we opted for a la carte. Pool area is lovely with a special area for kids. We took a boat trip that was also good value . Downside is that you are out on a limb so would need to drive in the evening. Also mosquitoes- I don't know what they can do about them but they are vicious. We did have a problem with our room but it was changed with no fuss. We very much enjoyed our stay here -it as a good "chill out" It's about 45 mins from Faro airport
