Vila Gale Tavira Resort Hotel

Vila Gale Tavira Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved Vila Galé Tavira! From our amazing check-in staff to the entertainment and vibrant atmosphere right along the riverside in the heart of Tavira’s culinary delights, this property is a MUST STAY and made for a truly pleasant experience. The outdoor pool and patio area were wonderful spots to relax and soak up the sunshine by the Gilão riverfront. (The onsite gym is cozy, too, with adequate equipment to get a good sweat while on property). The experience was similar to being on a cruise ship with all of the scheduled events. The pool was incredible. You can spend all day at the pool and be entertained the entire time. We had Sangria making classes, water dance and aerobic classes. The second tier of the pool has private cabanas on a first come first serve basis. Well worth it for an afternoon siesta. The onsite gym is cozy and has adequate equipment to get a good sweat on while on property. The only thing that was not a perfect score was the breakfast. It had a lot of offerings but not as delightful as I would have preferred. I did like the fact that it was included in the price of the room though, it made mornings relaxed. All in all, I would definitely return and highly recommend it for your visit to the Algarve."

Downtown Alegria

Downtown Alegria

10/10 Excellent
"We spent a very happy few days at Downtown Alegria. The room was spacious, aircon was much appreciated and we really enjoyed having a small balcony overlooking the square outside. The communal facilities were sufficient for making picnic lunch / breakfast and a simple supper though we ate out each evening as there are so many good eating establishments in Tavira. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A small supermarket next door was very useful - be sure to return plastic bottles to get your plastic deposit money back. The accom is an easy 5-minute stroll to the heart of Tavira’s historic centre and its ferry service to the Praia de Tavira. We ventured to Santa Luzia and Pedra del Rei by bus 105 AND took a train to Cabanas to visit the beaches at each place- all beautiful and well worth the short air conditioned journeys. The seafood at the tapas restaurant Mira diagonally opposite the accomodation is superb. The people of Tavira were very welcoming and kind, we will definitely be back and would stay at Downtown Alegria again."
