Had a really positive experience at this hotel. Everything was clean and well maintained, with plenty of sunbeds available around the pool so it never felt overcrowded. The location was perfect — ideally situated between the old town and new town, making it easy to explore both. Special shout out to Perry the barman, who was always friendly and made the experience even better!

The Vila Gale Cerro has everything that you would need at a resort hotel. We were able to enjoy the pool area which had food and drink options throughout the day. Pool was a bit cool but refreshing and large - perfect for a hot day. We had no problem finding pool loungers in the middle of the afternoon - plenty of space. The location of the hotel is also convenient for walking to the beach and nightlife. Room was clean and comfortable with a nice balcony. Great option for a stay in Albufeira!

First time at Vila Gale Cerro Alagoa

The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel room was very dated and the primary AC stopped working late at night. Other than that, it was a lovely overnight stay.

Sure! Here’s a polished version of your hotel review: ⸻ Clean and simple hotel with everything you need. I was traveling solo, but it seemed popular with families—lots of kids around. The pool area was great, and the daytime poolside restaurant had solid options (loved the burgers). My room was clean, though the walls were thin—I could hear doors slamming pretty clearly. Location was convenient, close to fast food spots and a grocery store. Overall, a good budget-friendly stay in Albufeira.

We arrived very late. All was satisfactory on check in but the room was so cold. It did have an Air conditioning unit which we used initially to heat the room. The problem was it was on the ground floor facing the road (back of the building) with high hedging . This made it difficult to attract sun into the room We woke feeling very cold. Breakfast was excellent

Hotel is old and things are falling apart. Flush push was not working. Heating was not working. Though staff was helpful and they fixed things. Also i have never stayed in hotel which will charge you for In-room Safe box. Overall stay was okay. But property is in need of upgrade.

Ok hotel in good location for the old town. Have stayed here before and definitely needs a revamp it looks tired. The breakfast was not great with basic items not being restocked and staff seemed uninterested.Management really need to get a grip of the problems there. Around the pool the sun beds are well past there best and need replacing and food and beverage prices are crazy high 4euro for a small water 5euro for a coke 6euro for a local beer. Would rate this hotel as no more than a 3 star and would no longer stay here.

Plenty of good but not perfect

The hotel was in a perfect spot for us, two middle age gents over for the weekend playing some golf. Close enough to the old town craziness for a drink and some food but not on your doorstep. It is also in the perfect spot to pick up the main road and get to the courses. We never waited more than 2min for an Uber. The hotel itself was clean and the breakfast buffet served its purpose. We had the suite room, and for two, it was ridiculously spacious. Only slight gripe with the room was the lighting as it was quite time and only lamps for the bedroom/living room. Other than that I’d say better than a Premier Inn not as nice as Marriott. Now for the cons on our stay. - Steam room was out of service usually not a problem but given it was raining on the Saturday of our stay we did want to make full use of the facilities. - You had to buy and wear a swimming cap to use the indoor pool, I feel if this is a rule it should be stated upfront on the hotels facility listings. - The boiler had broken in the hotel so there was no hot water from 1-4pm during our trip. This was a bit of a pain when I used the gym at lunch and then had to have an ice shower. - Finally there isn’t a single iron in the hotel and for me that’s not good enough for a location with a 4* status. That said the staff were great and did get my few bit ironed in a 4-5hrs turn around granted for a fee. Overall though I would definitely stay again and use as a base for any Algarve golfing trip.
