TripAdvisor Review
Great for birdwatching.

From when we arrived and throughout our stay, all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room (50) had a pool and sea view with a balcony. A kitchenette provided all you needed if you wanted to prepare your own food. We did have to ask for a Kettle, but it was brought to us straight away. The room was spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage and plug sockets. The meals in the restaurant had plenty of choice, including for vegetarians. Explain to the chefs you’re vegetarian and they will happily prepare meals to your liking. The only downside was that the food could have been a bit hotter. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach with some bars. A supermarket is 5-minute walk away. As are boardwalks to enjoy a stroll along by the sea and the Lagoa dos Salgados where there is plenty of birdlife.

Best location

This hotel is in a great location. It is very close to the beach, Boardwalk to the nature preserve, and there is two bus stops right outside the hotel that take you to old town or shopping. The hotel is very clean, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna and fitness center. That is well maintained and very clean. We use the pool and hot tub every day and there was only once there was someone else there. I never saw anyone in the fitness center. There is a games room for both adults and kids that is very clean and has lots of games like a pool table, air hockey and a bunch of other stuff. There is a large gathering area when you first enter the lobby that is also a bar area. The bartender was awesome, but all staff was awesome and very helpful. The outside pool looks amazing, but it wasn’t warm enough when we were there. The boardwalk beside the beach, for the nature preserve was an added bonus for those that like walking and looking at birds. The hotel restaurant was really good. There was always something for everyone. There is a grocery store five minutes from the hotel. You will find anything you want at this grocery store and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great place to stay

Very friendly staff. Room was very clean and the entire building was well kept. My friend went to the spa for a massage. Gabby was so good that she went for a second massage the same week.

New Years Stay

We stayed at Vila Galé Atlántico Hotel for 7 nights over New Years. We booked a Junior Suite and were given a sea view room which was beautiful. Room 322 was spacious and the kids were given 2 separate beds which was perfect. Only issue was that cleaners don’t wash the dishes in the room and there are also no soap and sponge for you to wash them yourself. You also don’t get water in the room apart from the 1 bottle that is left there upon check in. However, there is a supermarket which is walking distance. Location is amazing and a 5-minute walk to the beach. Unfortunately, it rained most days so we spent it at the indoor pool. We were abit disappointed that there was no kids club in December even though the hotel was filled with kids. We were allowed to use the kids club room but there was nothing in there to do. The evenings were also disappointing as there was no entertainment apart from a few board games in the lounge area. Breakfast was great and they have many food options. Staff was also welcoming and helpful. Hotel is great but I would suggest not travelling in December as there is nothing to do at the hotel. I’m sure the experience during summer is different and maybe other resorts offer more during the winter period.
