Highly recommended. Beautifully located, friendly staff. It was rather calm when we were there, we liked the spacious rooms and were glad we had chosen the garden view suite as it was much closer than those overlooking the pool. I would have preferred a large sweet water pool, possibly even heated, at 20 degrees the water was a bit on... More

Stayed for 5 nights and apart from the wonderful ocean view from the terrace everything else was mediocre at best: from the poor breakfast selection, to many parts of the complex in urgent need of refurbishing and last but not least SCANDALOUS prices for mini-portions of abysmal quality cuisine served by the pool while being told by the totally unprofessional...

We have been coming to Vilalara for years and simply cannot do without our annual "fix" of delicious food (including the "healthy-diet" restaurant options which are often tastier than the normal food on offer). The beach is amazing although unfortunately they have had to reduce the area reserved for guest sunbeds owing to local bureaucratic interference. The whole resort oozes... More

I have stayed in several 5-star hotels in Portugal and this one makes the top 3. Why? Location, friendly yet professional service and breakfast. Everything else is at par at what you would expect from any 5-star hotel: very comfortable rooms with great beds; nice spa with a heated indoor saltwater pool; good facilitiies for sporty guests (tennis courts, gym)....

Just in the middle of a stay here as I write this. We chose this resort for some luxury in that respect it's first rate. Staff are attentive but not pushy and while the hotel isn't full nothing seems closed up or sub standard. Rooms excellent, well furnished and unlike many "complementary" Internet solutions this one is hassle free, with... More

Just had a week here, involved in daughters wedding celebration at numerous nearby venues. The hotel , gardens , bar, restaurants are superb. Lots of space, pool could be heated! All the staff are wonderful, nothing too much trouble, language no problem and fun whilst remaining civil. Keep your mobile phone away from your room card as proximity makes key... More

One of the best hotels. Great location, great pool and bar. Unbelievable view of the beach with a huge cliff and rocks. The gardens are beautiful. Service is perfect. Very nice and new rooms. Also a good spa. Restaurant is fine, but you will need other alternatives if you stay more than 3 days...

Perfect! One of the best hotels i’ve ever been around the world. The location is absolutely perfect. Beautiful cliff, with easy and fast access to private beach by stairs. Tha hotel also has 3 or 4 exterior swimming pools. At least one is heated. The gardens are very beutiful, and very clean. The resort is very small, and every facility... More

The resort is truly beautiful and the service excellent. Unlike some high end hotels that might take advantage of their 'captive' guests, you don't feel ripped off everytime you buy a drink or order food, in fact everything seems very well priced indeed. Overall you feel that you're getting pretty good value for money given the quality of service, food,... More
