Very well kept and beautiful resort

8.0

Excellent service, truly great people working at VilaLara

Too many families with small children. Should be adults only at the main pool, and also separate for breakfast zones

Tolles Hotel, klasse Lage mit schönem Strand und der typischen Felslandschaft am Strand. Mit dem Auto viele High Lights

8.0

Wundervolle Anlage! Sehr gepflegter Garten, weitläufig, die Gäste verteilen sich gut. Alles tip top gepflegt. Vier Restaurants mit guter Küche teilweise mit gehobenem Anspruch. Service, Sauberkeit alles top!

Getränke & Cocktails völlig überteuert! Es lohnt sich außerhalb essen zu gehen. Tolle Restaurants gleicher Qualität 30% günstiger, teilweise mit grandioser Aussicht aufs Meer inklusive Sonnenuntergang. Zimmer sind sauber aber teilweise in die Jahre gekommen. Die Unterkunft ist zwischenzeitlich kein reines Hotel sondern auch eine Ferienanlage mit vermieteten Wohnungen.

Stunning location. Great service. Excellent food. Special mention to Daniela who did so much for us during our stay. My wife was celebrating her birthday & Daniela arranged all of the extras to make it a special day.
