Hotel berhampiran Museu Municipal Dr. Jose Formosinho, Lagos

Great location, about 10 mins walk to Lagos Old Town and the Lagos Marina. Lots of nice eateries nearby. Emmanuel from the front desk was very helpful to us and showed us the way clearly, recommended some good pastry shops as well. The staff that delivered our dental kits to the room was super unfriendly though.. maybe he just doesn’t like us haha. You can actually get lost in this hotel as it was quite a maze. However the fixtures were so dated and old. The wardrobe in my room was so old it felt like it was going to collapse anytime. There was also a weird super strong chlorine smell in the room and it didn’t dissipate even after a day. Sigh, we realised it could be from the day curtains as they likely had washed it with bleach to remove stains or something.. my husband made a fuss and wanted to change rooms but the hotel seemed full house with tour groups from France, UK and more. Breakfast spread was ok, same food was served for the 2 nights that I stayed. Would be great if they can do some maintainence works such as repainting the entire building. Doors of rooms should be changed too as they were so hard to open and close - you’ll be hearing guests slamming doors to close all the time! Very strange why all of these improvisations were not done when travel was not permitted during COVID times. The hotel would be an absolute beauty otherwise.

Our stay at Costa D’Oiro was exactly as we hoped it would be! The grounds are beautiful, rooms are super clean, and all of the staff - reception, housekeeping, restaurant, etc. are very friendly and helpful. We had a couple of very minor issues while here and they were addressed extremely quickly. The breakfast spread is AMAZING and our dinner in the restaurant was also superb. We also loved the location - easy walks to Ponta da Piedade and the Old Town and beaches of Lagos. Would definitely stay here again on future trips!

Stayed at this small hotel for the third time This year we were in a king room with outside access over the pool area with sea view There had been some comments about the doors and although they were slightly difficult to open we had no real problems The room was well equipped and maintained to a good standard The layout had changed from a previous visit due to the new doors and this meant you could not see the TV from the sofa but not a major problem There is a shortage of space for clothes if you are staying for more than a couple of days The hotel breakfast is good with eggs cooked to order a wide range of pastries, fruit and yoghurt and a choice of milk to suit those with intolerances There is a pool bar providing drinks and snacks all day The hotel is a little way out of town but we enjoyed our daily half hour walk to the marina and old town area There is a wide choice of restaurants in the old town The hotel has good free parking with shaded canopies Reception was efficient and checking in very easy with no need to use the app which was mentioned in the pre booking information If you wish for a friendly good value hotel in a quiet position with lots of sun beds available then this is a good choice for a short stay holiday near Lagos

Jaoa on check in and Anita Santos, Guest Service are great Ambassadors for there employers. Accommodation, Spa, Restaurant, bar ( thank you Mario) all delivered more than expected. We will definitely return. Thank you all - Appreciated.

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

Excelente e completo de serviço, mesmo numa época baixa em que se poderia supor uma diminuição na qualidade e disponibilidade de serviços. Antes pelo contrário!! Amabilidade e disponibilidade total, assim como o funcionamento das instalações. Uma experiência a repetir, talvez numa outra época do ano.

Em geral foi uma boa experiência. O quarto com WC inclui sala e uma pequena cozinha. As condições de acesso ao SPA poderiam ser melhores, visto que temos de passar mais de metade do caminho pela rua qualquer seja o percurso que façamos, o que se torna frio e desagradável, talvez tapar as laterais dos corredores e a passagem de um lado do hotel para o outro fosse uma boa opção. O mesmo acontece na ida para o restaurante. Muitas crianças na piscina e no jacuzzi, a saltar para a piscina e a correr pelo recinto da mesma, o que torna o espaço pouco agradável de usufruir. O pequeno almoço é bom, muitas opções de pão, doces, pastelaria e máquina de café. No entanto para um hotel de 4* estrelas tem fruta pouco variada, não tem salmão fumado, abacate, ou opções para pessoas celíacas, leite sem lactose só a pedido. Staff muito simpático e limpeza excelente!

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us. There is a minibus service early morning and late afternoon but to be honest Uber is only 7 euros into the town. Fab pool area that wasn't crowded and loved the pool bar and eatery. The villa was up 3 flights of stairs but again that didn't bother us because the villa was massive and clean. The staff are also very nice and helpful. There are 2 or 3 bars a half a mile away and walking on an evening was a pleasure. We also walked to the beach which takes a good 30 minutes but we enjoyed the walk. There is a fantastic restaurant opposite the site gates and a fantastic restaurant on the beach, but beware, they are very expensive. You will struggle to keep a meal for 2 under 150 euros in either of them. The 2 or 3 bars nearby mainly do pizza and a pizza is circa 15 euros. This isolation of this place won't be for everyone, but we loved it and will be back.
