Hotel Da Gale was under construction and tehrefore the offered us an "upgrade" to Hotel Regina (Apartementos). It was no upgrade, everything was full of mould and I was scared of touching anything. Also Hotel Da Gale offered us a Breakfast in the Hotel Regina, but only after repeated demanding, they offered us something like a breakfast.

We asked for a room with a twin bed with a sea view, and we got a room with 2 individual beds that we couldn't even bring together. The sea view was pretty bad - buildings everywhere and a bit of sea far away. The bathroom stank, wasn't clean and we even found spiders inside. We asked if we could move to another room and got contradictory answers from 2 different ladies, constantly rejecting the fault to each other. In the end, we stayed 4 nights in the same room. Totally unsatisfying.

Nosso quarto foi invadido e furtaram todos nossos pertences de valor, inclusive o que estavam em nosso cofre. A posição do hotel foi completamente oposta do que se podia esperar. Simplesmente não nos deram apoio nenhum, muito pelo contrário. Our room was raided and stole all our valuables, including opened our vault, stealing everything that was there. The position of the hotel was completely opposite of what one might expect. It just did not give us any support, they did the opposite.

Informamos a todos os leitores que este review é totalmente falso. Foi chamada a Policia que se deslocou ao quarto tendo concluído que ninguém aí entrou porque as chaves estavam na posse da cliente. Ficou provado que o cofre não sofreu nenhum arrombamento e que a ultima pessoa a abri-lo foi a própria cliente com o seu código pessoal e intransmissível. As autoridades e a ELSAFE multinacional de segurança, proprietária dos cofres, frisaram bem que não havia motivo para apresentar queixa pois tudo não passou de uma FANTASIA de adolescentes em férias. Há um relatório da ELSAFE, registo CCTV (videovigilância) e há o relatório da Policia que confirma não ter havido qualquer furto. Nunca houve nenhum assalto no nosso hotel desde há 24 anos. Infelizmente há pessoas para tudo! We inform all our clients that this review is totally untrue.The police was called immediately and they went to the clients room having concluded that nobody had entered there.It was proved that the safe was untouched and the last person to open it was the client herself with her own personal code. The autorities, ELSAFE a sweedish multinational security company, that owns the safes, were very strong with the client telling her that there was no basis for any claim because this was just a FANTASY of teenagers on holidays. There is a report from ELSAFE, there is the CCTV register (vídeo security cameras) ,there is also a report from the Police saying that there was no burglary. Our hotel and our clients never suffered any crime during 24 years of our existence. Unfortunately there are people capable of anything!

We now classify our reviewers based on how well travelled they are.
