Our take
I would book Vila Galé Tavira for a riverside stay on the Ria Formosa with a private balcony in every room, and for a spa that includes a heated indoor pool, a Turkish bath and a hot tub. Golf facilities make it a base for golfers too. Families are well served. For a small, quiet guesthouse feel, a smaller property would suit better.
- Explore the Ria Formosa natural park, easily accessible from the hotel's riverside location.
- Take advantage of the health club's facilities, especially the heated indoor pool on cooler days.
- Consider dining at the hotel's restaurant for a convenient and varied menu of local and international dishes.
