Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira

Great spot to stay, or even just to pass by for a cocktail or a warm drink on any winter day in Ericeira! Great bar, with excellent views of Praia do Sul! Great pool table where you can spend some hours having fun!

A perfect spot, close to Lisbon. Beatifull hotel, the staff is so helpfull, the views are amazing. Don t miss the interior pool were you can relax with the Waves in the Windows and Watching surfers in the sea. Perfect for romance, surf and relax but a plus is that is also super kids friendly!

You can't be more close to a beach! Rooms are a bit outdated, but super clean. Very kind staff. 2m walk from restaurants, bars, supermarkets. Nice pool and massages.

We loved this resort! Everyone was so nice to us (kids club staff, waiters, front desk) and we were so impressed by how much the hotel had to offer (two nice outdoor pools, an indoor pool, kiddie pool with slides). It was simple to walk down to beach or to town, and the views were incredible. The most standout kindness was that the hotel observed it was our child’s birthday from his passport and made some gestures to make sure he felt celebrated. We couldn’t believe how thoughtful that was. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Overall well reccomended. The location and view if you have a sea view are amazing. Great to sit by the pool and look out over the ocean and watch the waves and surfers. Service was fine some staff members went above and beyond. We only had breakfast and pool snacks which were good. Parking is fine except on the weekends, try not to move your car out of the main car park. Gym only opens from 9am. Pool towels have to be collected and dropped off at reception. Some of the standards between staff members differ and you get mixed messages sometimes. Over all we had a great time and would visit again.

The staff at the hotel were very nice. We were so happy they had gluten free options for my daughter at breakfast and the location as well as exterior pools are great. However, this hotel needs major updating. The rooms contain old carpet that is filthy as well as the bathrooms are worn. The mirrors were not clean and there was hair on the carpet from a previous guest. Beware!

It's unfortunate to see such an amazing place with so much potential, so deteriorated! It has an amazing view and location, but old-fashioned rooms, poorly cleaned, you can hear everything around you (from the rooms next door, upstairs and in the hallway). Breakfast is also not worth it. Overall, it's overpriced, the rooms do not have sockets next to the bed, in fact, in the room where I stayed there were only two sockets (occupied with lamps). I wish I had the money to buy this hotel and transform it into something really cool and modern. The exterior area it's definitely the best!

It's been a week since we were in Ericeira. I still feel compelled to write this review. The location of the hotel is remarkably beautiful. However, the hotel food is absolutely horrid. After a long bike ride from Peniche to Ericeira, we checked into the hotel and had a buffet dinner. The quality and taste of the food was completely horrible. I couldn't eat the food. The food was dried out, tasteless and visually disgusting. After realizing that the food was so bad, I took my plate to another table that had dirty dishes on it. I then met the manager of the restaurant. His name is Carlos Oliveira. He verbally chastised and berated me in front of our group. I was extremely embarrassed. However, looking back on the experience, Mr. Oliveira is the reason the restaurant is such a complete mess. He is rude, incompetent, unprofessional and uncaring. It is obvious that the serving staff fear him because he is verbally abusive. Not a single smile on the serving staff. I think this hotel could be first rate. However, with such poor management and hostile environment, it is no wonder I can only give this place 1 star. Eat somewhere else. The food is not worthy of giving it away.

The food at Hotel Vila Gale Ericeira is absolutely terrible. It was dried out like a scab. Dinner there is a Buffet and it is disgusting. Food has terrible taste. It is day old or even a week old. The manager is Carlos Oliveira. He is incompetent, rude, verbally abusive and unprofessional We were there a week ago and I still feel compelled to write this review. Mr Oliveira verbally confrontational with me in front of my table. Not sure why he feels he should be doing that with a paying customer. However, it is obvious why the restaurant is in such a horrid state. None of the servers smile, tiptoeing around to avoid Mr. Oliveira. The organization and the quality control is absent. The food is horrifically bad. The hotel is nice but don't eat there. The location of the Hotel is absolutely beautiful. Hopefully upper management will make changes to bring the food services up to the level of the surrounding beauty.
