Manufacturer's product description
In Vilamoura, one of the more important tourist centres of Europe, adjoining the marina, the beach and the casino, the Vila Gale Marina Hotel, built in 1995, has 243 rooms, including 14 suites. The hotel is only 300 meters from the exhibition center. The Galeao Restaurant offers a great buffet a-la-carte choice. The Bounty bar is the ideal place to have fun, with live music, folklore or karaoke. The quality of service, the sympathy and the entertainment are its main features.
Advantages: Everything you want for the after Christmas rush Disadvantages: None
...We have also stayed at this hotel, out of season. We were there in Jan 07 just as they were dismantling the Christmas tree in the entrance. We were sat outside at a little bar, talking to other visitors who where staying at the sister hotel to Villa Gale, that use to be a tuna canning factory............................this is on the sand splits, with a connecting shuttle bus between the two hotels.
The tree came out through the main doors in two halves and was carried round the side and into the under ground car park, no doubt we will see it again in Jan 08 splendid with it's decorations. It took six men to carry each half and it was "egg and milk" to watch them.
The hotel is just so friendly, welcoming, light airy, clean, the food is great and breakfast can take as long as you like.
There are a lot of golfers in the hotel but...

Advantages: Good Base Of Operations, Family Friendly, Central Location, Golf Nearby Disadvantages: English Style Pub, Bit Run-Down Decor In Bedrooms
..., something that always disappoints me when going abroad.
The old town, which is much nicer, and aslo has the beach right next to it was a left turn, down a flight of seriously steep steps and a walk across the Marina car park. The restaurants were you're standard tourist based sea front affairs, although don't go anywhere near the one run by the ex-pats. The food was terrible and it took 3 1/2 hours for us to finish our meals.
There are plenty of golf courses nearby, of a good standard, although you need to be able to play golf to a half decent standard to really enjoy the course. Vilamoura is just down the road, and in my opinion, is far nicer than Albufeira.
Overall, the whole place isn't bad for a cheap week away, stag do or such likes. I wouldn't recommend using the hotel for any more than a base, and at £60 a night, there are...

... MARINA CARAVAN PARK
GLASSON DOCK
Marina Caravan Park is owned by South Lakeland Caravans.
It is situated on the banks of the Lancaster Canal to the rear and overlooking the River Lune at the front and is near to the little village of Glasson Dock on the outskirts of the lovely city of Lancaster.
The park is for static caravans only and has no touring site.
It has 135 holiday homes that are all privately owned and are not available for subletting.
The site is open from 1st March until 2nd January and is the perfect park for anyone interested in owning a holiday home.
If you haven't recently been inside a static caravan (or holiday home as they are now known) you can't imagine just how comfortable and practical they are.
There are new and used caravans for sale on Marina - the pre-owned caravans...
