Throughout the day in Vila Gale Praia Hotel, guests can enjoy massage treatments and beauty therapies in the hotel spa, while active types enjoy workouts in the gym. There is also a sauna, Turkish bath and large hot tub with panoramic garden views. A large palm-fringed swimming pool is sprawled across the hotel\\\'s manicured main lawn, and offers loungers for sunbathers and a splash pool for younger children. In the evenings guests can relax beside the fire in the lobby lounge, play cards and snooker in the games room, and mingle over cocktails in the bar. The beach is just 120 metres away for water sports, swimming and sunbathing and golfers will find the 18-hole Salgados Golf Course two kilometres from the hotel. The hotel also offers a shuttle to Albufeira for those who want to browse the shops and experience the town\\\'s bustle.
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.

Advantages: Just excellent Disadvantages: A little plane spotting
...We are now VilaGale loyal customers.
Personally we have stayed in their hotels as follows, VilaGale Marina, VilaGale Ampalius, both in Villamoura, on the Algarve. VilaGale Tavira also on the Algarve and then last week VilaGale Santa Cruz, Madeira.
I can recommend all of the above, but the Santa Cruz is the newest and modernist of all.
The reception is a vast expanse of glass, marble and big soft sofas and a view of the ocean, just for good measure. It somewhat reminds you of the old Art novo cinemas.
Staff on reception where very polite and speak better English then I do Portuguese, excellent.
The main areas of the hotel are all on -1 level, with magnificent views of the sea which is only 150 yards away.
The restaurants have the same view, so does the fitness room, pools and Jacuzzi.
There are two outside pools, one...
