I thought the hotel was ok. It was exactly as described, but some of the reviews had really thought that it was fantastic, I wouldn't have said that. Don't get me wrong, it is a good hotel, but for the cost I thought it was quite expensive for what you got. Our room wasn't very big and definitely nothing special.... more

This was our second stay at this hotel in the beautiful unspoilt village of Ericeira. As in my last review - sea view room was excellent, staff helpful and friendly, rooms spotless and food good. The breakfast buffet is amazing. My only gripe - and it's small - was that the maid did not clean the glasses in the bathroom.... more

The Vila Gale is impressive before you even reach the door. It's an imposing large hotel in a traditional Portuguese style with green tiled roof.As most of the previous reviews have said, the location and views are spectacular. It really is the diiference between a seaview and an ocean view.You can hear the waves and smell the sea air from... more

I booked this trough their website and I was not disappointed. The location is fab. We had a room on the 3rd floor with sea view and balcony, sunsets to die for. Staff very helpful and nice. Breakfast very good. The village is lovely and very portugese, lots of nice places to eat. Try the Barrossa Beef and Sea bass.... more

We stayed at this lovely hotel last month (August 07) and couldn't be happier. We were a total of three families, with 3 kids under the age of 6. The views from our room were simply breathtaking. The pictures on this website of this hotel truly do not do the location justice. Again, just absolutely breathtaking views. The hotel itself... more

I spent 10 days in in this 4 star hotel in August 2007. The rooms were very clean but very small. There was an extra charge for a sea view and a further extra for a balcony (which only had sun in the morning). The lounge area was OK and entertainment poor. The breakfast was average, but the buffet dinner... more

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday in this lovely hotel.I was slightly concerned before we went as I had read one or two negative comments on this site.I have to say that our experience was excellent.From the moment we checked in,the staff at the check in were very pleasant and efficient with a good command... more

I have stayed in Vila Galé Ericeira many times in the last years. Since the first time I think they have always improved they service and food! It is one of my favourite beach hotels in Portugal because of the fantastic location above the sea. The rooms are good. The sea views rooms are bigger but both have enought space!... more

Lovely location but we had our 12 year old girl with us and were told there was a kids club but it was non-existent. She was taken to a hut and given crayons and a sheet to colour! No entertainment suitable for kids at night either. Would not recommend this hotel for children. The staff on reception were rude to... more
