Vila Gale Tavira hotel was a nice stay on our Spain vacation. The area around the hotel was spectacular. I enjoyed a great morning run. The staff was friendly, the room was good, and everything was just right.
Extensive breakfast buffet, hardworking, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and great outside areas. Some parts of the hotel, notably the dining room, could use an update but this did not detract from our stay.
If you sleep on the floor at home without pillows and used to coffee powder for breakfast, then you will find this hotel more comfortable and enjoy the breakfast buffet despite the watery juices mostly day old bread. Very charter touristy overall.
The hotel was family friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. We found free street parking. Tavira is extremely walkable and we were super close to the ferry to Tavira Island. The only thing I didn't care fore was the smell of cigarettes in the common areas.
The room was lovely, clean and welcoming. The shower pressure was quite low and we found the walls were quite thin. We went at the end of November so much less occupants and we could clearly hear conversations in the next room. The overall feel of the hotel was nice and staff were friendly. We however hated the buffet at the restaurant. It was 29 euros per person and I’ve never left a portuguese restaurant feeling so disappointed. It wasn’t even because of the price, the “main courses” we’re all bland, americanized food, it was so bad we decided not to go to the breakfast buffet.
If you’re there just for the stay, go for it. Don’t bother with the food.

This property has a great location. Lots of restaurants close by and very walkable city. Breakfast at the hotel was perfect with lots of choices. Parking was easy also at the hotel. Pool area was very nice. I would recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay here again.
Nice pool area.
Pints at bar a bit more expensive than in the city centre although good entertainment at night.
Nice big room. Although, I had a room without a view because I didn’t upgrade which meant
Very clean and well maintained hotel. Staff very professional and helpful. Created by everyone during interactions, check in, maintenance, housekeeping, and cook at breakfast. I literally checked in walking downtown, and the room was ready by the time I walked to the hotel.

Great Staff.
Property was so/so, staff was amazing, particularly in the dining room. The dinner buffet was amazing.
We enjoyed 5 wonderful days here, making use of the hotel facilities and exploring the local area. The outdoor pool and bar area are fantastic. The indoor pool and spa needs some improvement - while the pool itself is large with comfortable loungers around it, the jacuzzi barely functions and the steam room didn't work at all. The bedrooms are very comfortable and generously sized with balconies and a mini bar fridge. A kettle service is advertised to make tea and coffee in your room, but although we asked for it on the first day it only arrived on dsy 4 of a 5 night stay. Breakfast is average, and the evening meal is OK but lacking in atmosphere, whereas there a multiple fantastic restaurants in walking distance which I would recommend using instead.
Excellent location to explore tavira but also a little removed from the hub bub of the town. Excellent breakfast. Spacious foyer. Architecturally interesting.

Breakfast which was included was particularly wonderful. Very large number of fresh choices.
Excellent hotel great location in a great town, portuguese food is fantastic, we did b b and it was very good lots of options and great service. Park at the car park next to the garage its free!
Plenty of really good cafes and restaurants.
Close to the ferry for the beach
We had a fantastic stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Maria in reception was really especially helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back. Great location too.
Good hotel with a lovely pool, 5 minutes walk from the town and boat dock to get the boat to the beach (15 mins away)
Comfortable beds and very good choice of breakfast items. Lovely mini splash pool with slides, ideal for little ones.
We have been visiting Tavira for many years and have always stayed at Hotel Vila Gale. The hotel is extremely convenient to the centre. A great little cafe over the road and lovely local supermarkets nearby. The hotel is clean the breakfast plentiful and the staff very attentive.
