Hotel in need of some renovations, you can hear the noise in the rooms, they are cold, the indoor pool is terrible, the water is cold and super small. Breakfast could be better for a 4 star hotel. The staff were very friendly.
4/5 - For me this is the best value for money stay in Monte Gordo.
The sauna and steam room are great - provided you have a towel and swim hat. Access is free between 2pm-5pm daily… in contrast to other hotels.
There is a gym, but it’s somewhat limited and the equipment old. I prefer to use Calema’s gym up the road.
The Buffet breakfast is good, more than sufficient.
We had a little hard time finding the address however, when we arrived, it was just like what what we expected a retreat hidden from everything. people are eager to help, very friendly except they don’t know what a lemonade is bartender we ask for a lemonade they gave us a lemon soda However everything else was great love the people love the attitude. Food was excellent. Temperature was a little hot that’s expected from the end of June July. Thanks again for excellent service.
A very good and well located villa, very pretty and pleasant stay, the only drawback I would say was the spa issue, neither the Turkish baths nor the small pool were working, if that had been working it would have been ideal, but equally, everything else was a luxury for us.
The location is 4, if you're not a rental car or a car user, you're not accessing it.
It's not easy.
Two-story structure
The first floor is a living room and kitchen
The second floor is used as a bedroom.
It's a place where I stayed for a while because of the street while moving,
It's a place that I can't rest after staying for a long time.
There are tables and sunbeds in the individual yard, which is a good place to rest.
Very good service. We loved this place, unfortunately the indoor pool was closed. The space was clean, and the lady came every day to clean it. It's located a little far from the city center, about 20 minutes away, but for those who like peace and quiet, it's an excellent place. The entire staff was polite, we hope to return 🥰
Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person)
Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus.
Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area
The hotels Vila Galé (this is the 6th in the last 2 years) are the best of the quality of service offered. The fact that I have been scheduled by an operator was ”probably” assigned to me one of the less well-located rooms (642), a behavior that is not very pleasant. The location of the hotel is perfect. The breakfast service, despite the great affluence of guests, works very well.
I made a good decision to reserve a room with a clearer view of the sea than a regular room. It was nice that the two balconies could be used as one, and the bed room and living room were separated. The reception and staff were all friendly, and the beautiful sea of Albufeira was also nice. ^^ However, what was a little disappointing was that the bathtub did not have a shower booth in the bathroom, and the water pressure from the shower head was weak, so it was difficult to wash. ㅜㅜ Other than that, everything was okay ^^
Great

GGuest UserEverything is perfect! The location, hotel facilities, and staff are all in harmony.
There is a parking lot, so no need to worry about parking.
However, the parking lot entrance sign is not visible. The parking lot is located on the far right of the hotel.
Dinner is good and breakfast is a work of art.
SSbj66Decent Stay, but Could Be Better for a 4-Star Hotel
The Good:
• Location: The hotel is in a great spot—just an 8-minute walk from train Station and only 10 minutes by taxi to the airport, making it very convenient for travelers.
• Breakfast: One of the best parts of our stay! A great selection of food, and the addition of a piano playing in the background made for a lovely atmosphere.
The Not-So-Good:
• Bathroom Issues: Unfortunately, the bathroom had a bad smell, which we believe was caused by water collecting under the floor for a long time. The shower design was also frustrating, as water would leak out onto the bathroom and toilet floors. Additionally, the ventilation fan didn’t seem to work well, which made the smell worse.
• Construction Noise: This was a major issue. There was loud construction work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., making it nearly impossible to relax in the hotel during the day.
• The overall entrance to the hotel didn’t feel like a typical hotel—it was busy and had a commercial feel, more like entering a shop or mall.
We’d rate it 3/5. While the location and breakfast were great, the bathroom issues, construction noise, made it feel below 4-star standards. With better maintenance and some upgrades, this hotel could be much better!
GGuest UserFacilities a little old . Not a nice odour when opened the closet. Air condition not working well and water get easily spill out the bath area into the sanitary area. The tap at the washing basin not well designed too close to the basin and water easily gush out requiring delicate control.
Our room was the farthest end of the hotel block requiring to talk 2 lifts and walk various floors to reach the room.
JJenA Cozy Getaway with a Few Quirks
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Block C in a wonderful location near the beach. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there, as the bedroom was spacious and beautifully designed. However, there were a few quirks that left us slightly puzzled.
Locating the signage for the establishment proved to be a small challenge, but it added a sense of adventure to our experience.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room left something to be desired. It struggled to keep the temperature comfortably cool, and we often found ourselves feeling a bit hot. It would be great if this aspect could be improved to ensure a more comfortable stay.
Nevertheless, spending evenings on the balcony was a delightfully cozy and relaxed experience. The ambiance was inviting and lent itself to unwinding after a day of exploration. The surrounding garden and environment added to the overall charm, and we truly appreciated the pleasant surroundings.
I highly recommend visiting this place for a minimum stay of 2 to 3 days. Anything less would make the trip feel rushed, as there is so much to explore and enjoy. Despite the minor quirks, our overall experience was enjoyable and memorable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here and would gladly return for another visit.

SSTV7A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location - we went at a time where it was a little quieter but still sunny. They town is small and cute and during summer I’m sure there’s more entertainment. The staff in the beginning weren’t as welcoming but after that they were all very pleasant. We did mention it’s our anniversary but as this was in the beginning with staff that weren’t bothered nothing was done. Other staff were very very nice and always so helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the bar at night was also lovely.
AAnonymous UserHotel is in perfect location within the historical site, the room is clean and comfy. Beautiful pool in the middle of the garden. Despite all ups, the downside was the service in general, however the reception was helpful when asked.
Tips:
Avoid staying the same floor as the reception because there is a staff room next to you, and the staff come to chitchat in the room and the hallway (the same hallway as guest doors, clearly echo).
Beware of hot food running out from breakfast way earlier than closing time, you cannot request those eggs, bacons, mushroom if it's runs out. even there are many guests coming in and was no hot food.
Like other comment says the hotel is full of potential and personally we think its a very peaceful & lovely place with historical charm. Just the frontline service staffs around the place still far from that so called well service.
House keeping were friendly and helpful, gardening maintained well.
Enjoyed the place and once learned to didnt expect any service, Its was the best way.
GGuest UserBooked this hotel for a weekend getaway with my partner and we had an excellent experience. The onsite facilities were top-notch, from the relaxing spa to the suites. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – it offered a wide variety of options, ensuring we had plenty of choices to start our day. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable escape.
