Netherlandsit’s beautifully decorated and appointed. the location is wonderful. the staff is kind and attentive.
United States of AmericaEXCELLENT spa! Great staff, wonderful breakfast and dinner! Beautifully landscaped with a large pool. Comfortable, clean room.Easy access to the ferry to take you to a beautiful beach, nice city to explore and did I mention a beautiful spa where my wife and I had great massages and swam in their warm pool. Very happy to have stayed at Vila Gale Albacora!
United States of AmericaLoved its history. The museum told its story which we found fascinating! The landscaping was beautiful, the pool nice to use especially since we arrived early and had to wait for our room. We were given towels and full use of all the facilities. Having the ferry just outside the property was so convenient and we didn’t have to drive! Buffet was always good for breakfast and dinners.
United States of AmericaThe location for this hotel is amazing, right next to Ria Formosa. You can get a ferry near the hotel and cross to the beach. The view is also amazing. The hotel was built on what used to be a fishing village, and some of the buildings have been restored, and there's a museum. A charming experience.
PortugalAlmost everything was perfect. Nice and clean room, good location far from the main city but easily accessible by car, excellent breakfast.
