My
parents
stayed
7
nights
at
the
Vila
Gale
in
Estoril.
They're
both
well
over
their
70s
and
neither
of
them
can
speak
one
word
of
Portuguese
or
English.
Consider
also
that
mum
is
a
particularly
picky
character.
Despite
that,
they
spent
a
wonderful
holiday
and
most
of
the
credit
is
due
to
the
5
people
I'm
going
to
mention
below.
I
would
not
choose
the
Vila
Gale
again
for
the
amazing
sea
view
from
the
fifth
floor,
nor
even
for
the
incredibly
vast
and
delicious
buffet
you
can
have
at
breakfast
and
dinner.
I
would
choose
it
again
for
the
warm,
welcoming,
kind,
prepared
and
hard-working
people
I
will
mention
in
a
second.
Those
guys
really
know
how
to
treat
guests.
In
particular,
I
must
thank
Carla,
Ignacio,
Marcella
and
Ivan
from
the
restaurant
and
Joao
at
the
reception.
These
smart
and
amazing
professionals
have
made
my
parents'
staying
comfortable
and
enjoyable.
These
are
not
just
staff,
they're
happiness
providers
which
is
an
invaluable
skill
that...
(and
trust
me
on
that)
is
RARELY
seen
nowadays.
Location
and
food
are
easily
replicable,
true
care
is
unforgettable.
So
make
sure
you
hold
on
to
them
and
raise
their
salary
because
whatever
they
get
now,
they
deserve
way
more.
On
another
note,
it
would've
been
great
to
have
a
coffee
machine
in
the
room.
I
have
seen
such
a
perk
in
cheaper,
less
fancy
hotels.
