The 4-star Vila Gale is a luxury resort located right on the Lagos seafront, along the sandy Meia Praia Beach and a 5-minute drive from Lagos Marina.

Gourmet cuisine is served in the restaurants, and a Kids' Club and 3 tennis courts complete the picture. All air-conditioned rooms feature modern audiovisual equipment and are beautifully designed.

Pleasant
The hotel, pools and breakfast were good.
You need to cross train tracks to reach the beach that takes about 5min to walk. Beach is beautiful but no amenities belong to the hotel there. Towels for the pool have to be picked up from the spa, very inconvenient. The outdoor pool looks amazing but very cold. Indoor pool is also surprisingly cold. Many hotels in this area are heating their outdoor pools and we were so surprised to see none of their pools were heated. If the hotel invest on hiring more staff for the towel distribution and consider heating the pool, it is a great hotel indeed. The hotel also need general maintainence since many things were worn out.

Disappointing
The look of the hotel is amazing, and the outside zones are clearly being taken care of. The swimming pool area is great to relax and take the kids for a swim.
Several broken things, shower flooded after a 5 min bath, pipe/sewer smell from that bathroom, bathroom door with no way of locking and makes too much noise. Bedroom door without any possibility of closing from inside to prevent kids from opening it. Second bed was small, and made way too much noise, that same bed was a sofa bed but there was no way to physical connect them meaning kids during the night would move and disconnect the bed and they would fall. AC turning off when balcony door was open (which is ok) but not turning on again afterwards making this a boring administrative work. Then the walk from the handicap parking lot to the room was a 6 minutes walking, there is only on elevator area to the room. Restaurants are super expensive, a 5 year old paid 30€ for a "buffet" because the other restaurants needed reservation. Few person's actually spoken Portuguese. The kids swimming pool which was what made us book the hotel was non functioning and the kids area was great for a 5 year old but not appropriate for a 2 year. Overall for the price I consider one of the worst experiences ever in Algarve.

Big swimming pool, close to huge beach, quiet in the night (if neighbours are quiet), good breakfast
Very thin walls, can hear neighbours talking normally late night, it was very windy, which I think is very usual in that area

Breakfast was great, had a good selection of bread, cheese, breakfast meats, and an omelet station. The property has a lot of things to do for children, my kids especially loved the go carts.

Beautiful property. Clean and nice size room. Good variety at breakfast. Staff was nice overall. We saw that the reviews for the pasta restaurant Massa Fina were not the best but we ate there twice and the food was good and so was the service.
We loved the property and the only thing that would have made it more perfect was if it was closer to the Lagos Marina but we knew that when we booked it. We didn’t mind the walk.

Nice, clean, new and reasonable hotel a bit away from the busy downtown area. There was an easy walking path to get to the downtown. Excellent evening buffet meal and wonderful breakfast buffet provided. Good parking area. Front desk personnel very accommodating.

Good for families.
Too many people, especially breakfast time. Ocean view was limited by tall trees in front. Should not have been charged more for that.

The location is great, the facility has beautiful grounds, a nice pool and a good gym
The buffet was awful. We went had the dinner buffet and it was likely the worst buffet we ever paid for. Lack of selection (especially meats) for a premium price. Very diasppointing! The breakfast buffet was also weak.

Very nice hotel and garden with a fantastic view to the ocean. Good meals with various options
The hotel room was so humid, and water puddles were created under the windows with a moldy smell. The jacuzzi was cold, even after we repeatedly asked for a higher temperature, it didn’t change after few days either. The swimming pool was also bit cold, therefore, we couldn’t really use the wellness at all with our toddler…this part was dissapointing. If you enter the pool, you must wear a hat, which was odd for me. We saw a giant cockroach in the wellness area. It happens in hotels, but gives you a bad feeling about sanity.
