Hotels near Meia Praia in Sao Sebastiao

I returned to this hotel having visited last year – at that time my review said ‘I think I have never stayed at a hotel that has delivered so well on my expectations’. However, although the location is still perfect, the swimming pool an oasis of calm, the staff super attentive and the rooms elegant and clean, some aspects have changed for the worse, since I was last here. Firstly the breakfast which, last year was a cordon bleu triumph is now a rather uninspiring buffet arrangement – where previously there were cooked breakfast items freshly made to order including eggs Bennedict, omelettes, bacon and sausages with smoked salmon and a huge choice of fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese. Secondly, families (with young children) from nearby ‘exclusive’ villas are now invited to share the breakfast service – from time to time shattering the calm and negating the ‘Adults Only’ claim – on TA and other booking sites. Word on the street is that this unique hotel will shortly be replaced by a Marriott – which, in itself, is a pity – however it would have been good if the previous standards could have been maintained until that time. This hotel is still lovely and the staff amazing but – to those of us lucky to have visited before – it’s just not the same Palmares Beach House hotel.

Can't tell you how amazing this hotel is - we go to it every 6 months. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Im ridiculously fussy and drive myself mad to be honest, I've always had issues with my childs health from he was little so we have always needed to bleach everywhere and travel with Dettol wipes and anti- mite plug ins and goodness what else but I have come to learn that i dont need to do this in this hotel, you could eat your dinner off the floor as we say in Belfast. We took my pops away this time with us because unbelievablyhe has never had a foreign holiday, and he's nearly 70 years old - he was blew away. Food is amazing - My son Jack has ADHD &Autism, and he is extremely fussy about his food, what it looks like, what it feels like, the textures, the colours. It's a nightmare, but he loves the grub at Vila Galé. There's never an issue. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool bar, Alá Carté restaurant, ”The Masafina”. There is so much to choose from. My daughter Annie loves the food too, she's usually eats like a mouse but eats like a horse when we stay here, haha. There's nothing better for a parent in my humble opinion, to see your children sitting down to lovely big plates of healthy food from all different continents. There's a spa, 3 different steam rooms, massage rooms, yoga room, a big Gym, jacuzzi, large heated indoor pool, tennis courts, golf course, splash pool Park especially for the children(and big kids ie: adults haha), volleyball pitch, football pitch, table tennis, adventure park, big trampoline (which is really good fun), fruit tree orchards, herb gardens, pool tables, darts tables. There's things I will be leaving out because they weren't as important to us. This hotel works hard for conservation, they grow their own fruit. There's olive trees everywhere all over the hotel grounds too. The grounds that surround the hotel span a couple of miles- it's a beautiful walk. Obviously they have an outdoor pool too, but you see it in the brochures and yes, it really does look that stunning. I should probably mention that the pool bar don't just do ”run of the mill” food- we are all vegetarians so we always get stuck with things that way. They do the most gorgeous veggie wraps, salads, veg burgers etc. The pool bar menu is stunning. The ice cream is Carté Ďor and they have an amazing sugar free range as a family member is a type 1 diabetic, which has led us all not to take sugary drinks. The public toilets are always in immaculate condition, always spotless, shining, soap, toilet roll. No problems there. Rooms are lovely too. Housemaid are amazing and do an amazing job. The restaurant staff are amazing. The hotel staff at reception are great too. I hope this review helps, I highly recommend the Vila Galé Lagos, Preia Meia, Portugal. Its expensive in some peoples opinion but- to me I always believe you get what you pay for and if my children are looked after and happy, that's all I want. I'm 100% happy. Book a room- you won't regret it. Mi

Resorts are good. But staff is not enough and also security of resort is quite loose. Everybody can go into the resort and no one will check.

Fantastic hotel. Rooms cleaned every day location great. Reception staff very helpful and always had a smile Big thank you to Thomas ( I think that’s his name) at reception. Almost every night we asked him for directions to restaurants/ bus stops etc and he was so good at explaining it to us. Lovely pool area small but quiet and relaxing Breakfast staff were fine but a simple smile in the morning would have been nice A bit “ grumpy “ to say the least. Umberto was just great. He’s the tall one. Always had the biggest smile for you when we walked in. Very very nice man. Would recommend this hotel. If I ever return to ALVOR , I will certainly return to this hotel. !!! Just to say the jet 2 rep was wonderful. I took ILL one morning and she went above and beyond to help me. Phoned later that day to check on me and also the following day too. Wish I could remember her name. So a big thank you to her !!!

THE NICEST HOTEL EVER!! I HAVE NO FAULTS AT ALL- IT WAS ALL PERFECT When I arrived I had no luggage due to it going missing at the airport and I wasn’t able to communicate at the airport as the language barrier. When I checked in I explained about my luggage they told me to enjoy my day and reassured me that they will help me get my luggage back the staff were so helpful and I felt reassured right away. The staff were so friendly and thoughtful they explained about the hotel what time breakfast was ect, we immediately felt so welcome. The room was as advertised it was massive and the bathroom was lovely there were coffee making facilities ect everything we needed for the perfect stay. The living area was so spacious with 2 sofas and the balcony with big too, the view was stunning everything I wanted and more you won’t be disappointed. The pool was really big and there was also a smaller pool if you wanted more a private swim with i children, plenty of sun loungers aswel and a really nice shop on site with everything in. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, they had lots of options for food and drink, we had breakfast included and the breakfast buffet was amazing with space indoors or outdoors to sit you can help yourself to anything there was such a verity. The dinners were amazing and loads to choose from on the menu the bar was always open and there was also such a verity of drinks with a standard price - the cocktails are lovely. The bar staff are lovely and so polite they make things as perfect as possible and are always checking in on you. All in all for the money payed for a week stay breakfast included there was no faults to pick at all we had a brilliant time and will be returning next year for sure, I’ve stayed a few places in Ferragudo but this was by far one of the best places, it’s in a great location with lots of restaurants,bars, shops ect on the square just a short walk from the hotel everything you need in just a short walk absolutely amazing, so if you want to venture out for a change you can with so many options. Absolutely perfect stay and I can not wait to return.

I stayed here for a week the room had a problem with shower toilet headboard and glass partition on balcony none of the above bothered me as I still found the hotel to be basic but alright, however I am gluten free, whilst they had special guests stopping they couldn't cater enough so first three days where brilliant, when the special guests checked out the gluten free bread cakes and quasisnts were no longer an option the gluten free sausages were also not an option, I asked staff which were rude and said if have issue raise with reception, I found it easier to buy my own bread for the rest of the holiday and just have beans from the breakfast buffet, would have definitely recommend to coeliac friends and family however seems they can only cater when they have special guests which is ashame
