Great time under the sun is guaranteed!
Vila Galé Ericeira's pool is a great spot for you to relax during hot days or just simply chill. It was very clean, and the water was invigorating according to many guests. Moreover, swimming noodles can also be used by anyone- great for those who do not know how to swim.

Serene surroundings ensure an excellent sleep
There was no complaint about the noise, since the hotel's environment was very peaceful. In addition, the walls of the rooms were thick enough so guests did not hear sounds from the other rooms and common areas.

Bathrooms have musty odours
A few guests complained that the bathrooms smelled a bit musty. The housekeepers though, were quick in getting rid of the musty smells upon guests' notification.

Issues with the bookings
Some guests had their preferred rooms stated on their booking but upon arrival, they were given different rooms. The staff was apologetic though, and said that next time, they would stick to the booking preferences as closely as possible.
negative:
Limited parking spaces
A few guests experienced waiting for longer than usual to park their cars because the parking space is limited. Thus, if you are arriving with a car, you are advised to call the staff before going to the hotel so they can reserve a spot.
