My wife and I spent two weeks in October in this hotel and we had a great time. The weather was perfect, ranging from low to high 20s with sunshine every day but one, when we had rain. We were on a Saga holiday which was all-inclusive which if you,re in a country which has the euro as its currency... more

Perfectly situated in the very interesting town of Tavira, so many of the hotels are well away from the centre. Rooms very comfortable, all have balconies but if you like the afternoon sun and like to watch the world go by ask for a room at the front of the hotel. Very comprehensive buffet breakfast, you always eat too much!!... more

There for a week, blessed with great weather, so we spent most days by the pool, which was ideal. Breakfasts varied, but cooked items rather limited at times. Bed was rather firm - caused some discomfort for my wife. Only ten minutes' walk to all the restaurants, of which we didn't find a poor one in the full week. Glad... more

This is the first time I have wrote a review on Tripadvisor, however I use the site a lot when booking hotels. The place of Tavira in Portugal is a strange place, it is very very quiet and sleepy. The Vila Gale Tavira, is quite a tired hotel, with a feeling that it was probably in its peak in the... more

We were 2 couples in our 50's and felt some of the youngest there! Saga seemed to descend upon the place after the first couple of days! We were on a golfing break and the golf courses are good. The hotel we didn't think was up to 4 star quality. As in other reviews the beds are hard and the... more

This hotel was 4 star, by only just. The pool was lovely, lot of sunbeds, and it is in a great location – the restaurants in the town are a short stroll away through some quaint residential streets. The rooms were clean and spacious, but are not luxurious. As other people have said before, the beds are a little hard,... more

Spotless hotel in Tavia close to restaurants. We had a room facing south overlooking the town...glad we were`nt overlooking pool as it was interesting to see local life. No noise from next rooms but I used ear plugs in case. Air con could have been better but adequate. Pool brilliant, really big. Breakfast good and varied. Great to be able... more

This is a 4-star hotel and the price reflects this. However, if you book early, you can get a very good deal just like we did and pay less than half of the full price. This large complex has 3 floors full of bedrooms. On the ground floor the reception, a little newsagent shop, a business centre with internet access... more

We have spent a week during August in this hotel. We have been here before and were happy with it. But we will look for other hotels in our next visit to Tavira. The hotel was croweded, as expected, but the reason of our disappointment came from the behaviour of some of the reception staff. Incredible, but they did not... more
