I have just returned from a week in Cascais. Stayed on a half-board basis in the Vila Gale Hotel. The variety of food for breakfast was very good. The chef was available to cook eggs any style. The buffet in the evening was also very good, great salad bar, the hot food was good but sometimes could have been hotter.... More

Breakfast buffet was a bust. It was the same every day. Eggs always cold.Bacon always undercooked. Cheese was good and varied. These were the only meals our group ever ate at the hotel. Based on this I would never have tried another meal.

The rooms (sea view) are generous in size and have been refurbished since our previous visit. The staff are all wonderful. The restaurant and both bars (cocktail and terrace) are very good. The pool area is... More

This is a well run hotel with good service. Ideal location to the marina and town which are within easy flat walking distance. Buffett breakfast is good with plenty of choice, with a dinner menu if you want a night in without going into town. Downside, the bar is expensive, free Wi-Fi is only in the reception/communal areas on the... More
