    The rooms were nicely decorated with a view, you feel like home. The location was exceptionally nice and really handy, for example, Forte do Rato was just a short walk away from the hotel.

    The hotel's location is remote, right by Tavira and the beach, with nearby beaches. The twin room we booked included an additional single bed and had amenities like an electronic key card, work desk, and TV.

    The location of the hotel was convenient, with easy access to nearby beaches and attractions. The design of the hotel was appealing, with a well-maintained pool and a variety of breakfast choices available. the staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to a pleasant overall experience.

    There were some drawbacks to consider. The cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, with dust and hair not properly cleaned.

    Excellent food, cook in lounge, very friendly, cleanliness, excellent massage service. Very good location of the hotel as well as its value for money.

    I didn't like it, that when you go 6 nights and 7 days with a family, the inestimable deficiencies in 2 or 3 day accommodations start to appear. We didn't like that besides sharing the hotel sign, with the company "Passeios por Ria Formosa" , and space in the hotel reception, they don't share anything else. We bought the tickets for the walk in this company for 30 euros, when you can buy them for 10 euros in any nearby town, Tavira, Olhao..., for the confidence of hiring. We had a mishap, the boat couldn't continue and we were literally left stranded at Farol. After half an hour of negotiation when we had paid for 4 hours. The hotel gave up on us completely. We put claim in writing, to the company of Paseo and we asked to speak with the director, to explain him everything that happened, that never appeared, to the maximum that we arrived it was to his assistant, that the same thing accommodated you in the dinner, that served you a wine in the evening... as for stories and claims. Although he was always kind and polite. I think that the claim of 60 euros, after 6 nights in a hotel, would have been compensated in any way to prevent us from leaving the hotel with a bad taste in our mouths. And to be able to leave having forgotten everything, and wanting to come back soon.

    Beautiful place, view of the reserve. Once they caught a dinner with an abundance of seafood, there were even oysters, lot of food, quality is average. Comfortable hotel... wonderful receptionist booked us a table at a restaurant we couldn't get to... beach towels could be changed every day. Room cleaning was regular, maids managed to do it very discreetly and adjusted to the time... Excellent internet throughout the hotel.

    There are ants in the room. Raw and humid... Not all staff speaks English. It was often a problem... Almost always the sunbeds are busy, lot of people in the hotel by the pool... We didn't really like the local wine... first time we bought a ticket for a boat that transports to the next beach, asked for 10 trips, girl did not understand and gave one. Finally, next morning we ran to get a new one in time for departure... You can reach the centre of Tavira either by taxi or on foot (over 3 km).

    The hotel has a stunning and lovely location very close to the beach, Tavira, St Luzia, and a national park. The atmosphere and staff were excellent.- Arraial Ferreira Neto was only 2 km away from the venue.I had a great time at Vila Gale Albacora! The hotel is ideally situated near the beach, Tavira, St Luzia, and a national park. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff were very helpful.

    The location in the middle of Tavira was very scenic and convenient. We found it in a very nice area really close to well-kept gardens, the school, and a chapel, and the nearby beaches of "Tavira Island.

    For me and my wife, this is one of the best hotels in the world. We have known and loved Tavira and its surroundings for 25 years. Being able to stay right in Natural Park of Ria Formosa and in a place like this hotel, which was an old Tuna Fishers "town" and has been restored magnificently is something really amazing and a real pleasure. Also, staying in May, with very reasonable prices and very few people in the hotel was superb.
