"As others have noted, this is an undeniably beautiful place. We stayed in two suites--an ocean view suite on night one, and the master suite on night two. The rooms were both very comfortable and well-appointed. The nearby beach, easily accessible by car, is beautiful, uncrowded, and served by a great little beachfront cafe (full bar, snacks, sandwiches, etc.). All of that is great and as advertised. (There was a minor glitch with the air-conditioning, but that was apparently a hotel-wide issue that was resolved pretty quickly.) The bigger issue is the constant club music blaring through the outdoor speakers from breakfast until 10/11pm. It's very audible in the oceanside suites, including the master suite. We asked several times if the speakers could be turned off outside, as there was often no one sitting outside to begin with. But the staff told us they could not turn off the speakers. They repeatedly committed to turn the music down, but if they in fact turned the music down, it wasn't noticeable. I'm sure there are plenty of guests looking for a beautiful, clubby patio from morning until bedtime. (Although, as noted, I didn't see very many of those people outside during our stay.) But if you're looking for a serene hotel on a cliff where you can hear the ocean, this is not the place for you -- you are much more likely to hear a dance remix."

"Beautiful setting. Restaurant has excellent staff and food!"

"This b&b was just perfect! The grounds, pool, area is surreal, the room is comfy and clean and very practical. The staff were all nice and the included breakfast delicious. It is also very quiet but only 6 min walk to the historic center. "

"Great hotel !"

"Great, convenient location. Fun in The waves just out front. And of course, can’t beat the pool! Breakfast was great too."

"We had a great time at Vila Gale for only a few days. The location is amazing and the hotel has plenty to offer, including a rather nice gym for a hotel and 2 large pools that are super nice, as well as a steam room and a sauna. Everyone there was super nice, service was a little slow but it was really busy so no real complaints, breakfast was alright. If we're ever back in Ericeria, and we really hope we will be, Vila Gale will certainly be high on the list of where we'll be staying!"

"Pleasant"

"Gorgeous property! Our first stay, but we have stayed at their sister resort (Marmoris Palace) several times. As is the standard for all Marmoris properties, decadently appointed rooms with the most lavish customs drapery, bedding, and furnishings. And of course, gorgeous marble everywhere! Excellent location with full access to the serene grounds of Marmoris Palace and the pool, as well as evening wine and cheese with entertainment (including their lovely peacocks!) Very gracious service. Highly recommend this hotel!"

"Very good location very friendly people "
