The Kings Club Apartments is a small compex in a residental area. They are clean, well equipped, comfortable and a reasonable size. There is a swimming pool the size of a jacuzzi that is not worth bothering about. The apartments are about 8 minutes walk from the beach, 3 minutes from an excellent supermarket and 5 minutes from the nearest restaurant.
The main reason for going to Praia da Gale is the glorious sandy beach, its fabulous. The resort otherwise is very quiet with around 10 restaurants within a 20 minute walk, 3 bars also within this radius and very little else. If you feel energetic you can walk along the beach for just over 2 miles to the bigger resort of Armacao De Pera which was well worth a visit.
There is a bus serrvice into Albufeira 7 times a day although the last on leaves at 6 o'clock.You can get a taxi back costs about 12 Euros.
We really had a great holiday here because we enjoy the quiet life and a great beach in an area had not yet given way to full blown commercialism. We would return for another relaxing holiday again for a week. Any longer and even us would get bored.
We understand from the locals this resort is best avoided in August as the Portuguese families converge here then and the beach is over run with kids.
