Vila Gale Marina

We last stayed here in 2018 and couldn’t believe how dated this hotel has become, exactly the same as the first time we stayed back in 2012. We arrived early for our stay at 10am, as we entered reception area there was a smell like sewers, not nice at all (go to the crowne plaza if you want to smell a good hotel lol) this smell was there our entire stay. I have given 2 stars simply because they gave us our room early, otherwise it would have been one star. The reception area is dated and in need of upgrading with a better smell as you enter The lifts are not smooth and what’s with the silver duck rape around the outside of it? Same green carpets in the corridors, just disgusting and dirty The room furnishings were exactly the same, pictures, chairs, everything. Then comes the beds, ok if you like really hard mattress, you know when you put a sheet under the blankets in a child’s bed in case they wee in it, well these beds have that and every time you move the crinkle noise wakes you up. Bathrooms, well they’ve took the bath out, left the bath taps in and added a long shower hose that takes at least 5 minutes to warm up, the taps on the sink don’t hang over enough for you to get your tooth brush under. Very poor workmanship on installations, if a professional trades person done that in my house I wouldn’t be paying them. Food at breakfast was ok but basic again nothing had changed in the restaurant. Pool area is lovely apart from it’s windy. Hotels location to the marina is perfect This hotel may have been 4 star when it was built but I’d give it a 2 plus rating now. If you want a great hotel then domes lake is the best, booked already for next year to ensure I can get a room this time rather than leaving it and having to stay in a poor hotel like this. I would gut this hotel, rip it all out and modernise it and you would have a great hotel. Sorry this is just how we felt about it, never again Staff were very nice and helpful!

Lovely hotel x very clean x up to date x comfy beds and pillows x spacious room x We had a Sea view room x great location x 3 minutes away from the beach x opposite the marina x lots of shops x Chinese restaurant right next to the hotel x mc Donald’s 2’mins walk x supermarket in reach x Thai restaurant down the road also x watching the sunrise/sunset was beautiful. Only thing I fault is the food, we did half board and it wasn’t worth it at all. Very basic food every single day

Food selesction was awful. We had dinner and breakfast included and had to eat out each night. Queues every evening and morning to get in and for one 'chef' to cook you an egg or a piece of meat on a grill. Chicken was raw one night. The restaurant is hot and like a cheap cafeteria. The whole hotel is outdated and reminded me of an old folks home. Pool was nice, bit needed to be cleaned more regularly and 2 days there were issues with not enough loungers. It came to my attention that there were very large groups of people using the facilities that were not staying in the hotel. There was no entertainment and service was slow throughout. The pool bar took about 10 mins per drink and there no indoor bar at all. Place is dead and soul less. We paid 877 for 3 nights (2 dinners, 3 breakfasts) 1 adult and 1 child, very disappointed.

Hotel was nice but dated. Great opitions for late checkout if needed ( 10 euros for 2 extra hours) . Buffet breakfast had a great selection, omelette station, hot food,fruit, a whole pastry table etc. Very close to the marina. Would recommend.

We stayed here for 5 nights. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely,bed comfortable and cleaned every day. Couldn't fault this place maybe needs a bit of updating in parts but so near marina and everything else you Couldn't find a better place to stay.

Spent three nights here recently. Having read some previous reviews we were slightly concerned but could not fault our stay. Lovely room with big terrace. Breakfast buffet was substantial and omelette station was great. One day was very wet so use was made of gym which is small but good and indoor pool area. Local area is nice and hotel is so close to everything. Would return again
