Vila Galé

Frommer's Review

Originally built to house a Holiday Inn, the hotel was bought by the Portuguese Vila Galé hotel chain and is currently being upgraded to their high standards. Located on a point just between Barra and Ondina, the Vila Galé offers luxury and elegance. The rooms are quite spacious and fit two double beds or a king-size bed, a comfortable chair, and a big desk. All rooms on the first floor have a veranda. Standard rooms look out over the street behind the hotel; superior rooms have gorgeous ocean views. The hotel also has a number of suites, the best of which is the Oceano, which consists of a large L-shaped room with curved windows that look out over the ocean. Although they are elegantly furnished and offer extras such as a Jacuzzi tub, 29-inch TV, and DVD, they are just big rooms; you don't get a separate bedroom. The staff provides excellent customer service.
