I visited the Algarve last summer with a few friends and stayed at Vila Alba apartments during our two-week stay. I really enjoyed my stay here and would not hesitate to return - the apartment became a large aspect of the holiday!
The location of the apartments is not in Albufeira itself, but just outside. Although the apartments are simply a 5-10 minute walk from The Strip (where there are many cafes, bars and little shops), it is a fairly quiet area, with little to no disturbance. The apartments are quite detached from one another, so this further lessens the noise levels. The apartments are around a 20 minute walk to the beach.
The rooms themselves are of very good quality. The lounge area includea a TV with several channels; some in Portugese and some English. Even the CBeebies channel was available, which is great if you ...
Advantages: Excellent Location, Clean, Good Food Disadvantages: No fridges in rooms
This is my third time staying in Albufeira (March 2007). I have previously stayed at the Paraisio and Brisa Sol which are also four star hotels next door to the Vale Gale Cerra Alagoa.
Out of all three hotels this is my first choice, followed by the paraisio.
The staff in the hotel speak good english and service was very efficient. I was also give an upgrade to my room. I was put on 2nd floor and got moved to the 3rd floor in a newer room. (the hotel are in the process of modernising all the rooms, so I would recommend you try to get one with at least the number 42 at the end i.e. 142,242,342,44)
The hotel operate on a key card system as opposed to having to carry keys around. I also lost my key card and the staff did not charge me, nor seem unduly worried.
The room itself was large with two twin beds pushed together ...
Advantages: Quick Transfer from Airport Disadvantages: None if you like a quiet village setting.
This is a review of the Vila Gale Hotel at Santa Cruz on the Island of Madeira.
We have just returned from a three day break.
We booked the Vial Gale as we have used their Hotel in Tavira for a few years and find them very good.
Hotel Location, is best described as if the Plane Toppled off the end of the Short Runway at Funchal Airport then it could land in the Hotel Swimming Pool.
Having said that do not let it put you off, it does not intrude and the closeness is slightly less than that, and it is quite exciting to watch the landings and takeoffs.
The Hotel is in the small village of Santa Cruz a mere 6 Euro Taxi ride from the airport gets you there.
Checkin was very efficient in a very large modern Reception Area.
Cost for the Three Nights for Double room with Breakfast was £111. This was for a Sea View Room ...

Vila Channa is a well established very popular family orientated hotel with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. No wonder that a lot of holiday makers return to Vila Channa year after year. It is a typical destination, where you feel at home at once.
