If you want to relax on a very high standard stay in the Vilalara Resort . Even if it is fully booked you do'nt feel it. Only very nice rooms ; excellent food and a very good and friendly service. It is located on the sea. Lovely swimmingpools and a small nice beach

We spent Easter at this great place. We had the jr suite with garden view. Huge bathroom and outdoor lounge terrace. There are several pool areas with comfy beds to relax. The fitness was small but nice and several fitness classes were offered. We did not book any spa treatments but did go to the sauna and steambath which is... More

We have just come to the end of an excellent 1 week stay at Vilalara, and can recommend it strongly. The junior suite we were allocated was spacious and airy, with free wifi. Only missing item was an iPod dock, but I had my own micro speakers. The resort is beautifully kept, and well laid out. The outdoor heated pool... More

We went when there were offers 400 euros for the weekend 2 nights and it was great value for money. Yes the restaurant was expensive as was the spa, but that beach and THOSE COVES were the best. It was empty with only 30 or so clients and the weather was perfect. It was Our second visit and we will... More

It was the end of the season so one can forgive a certain tiredness, but it was very disappointing nonetheless. The Thalasso treatments were excellent overall, but the accommodation wasn't of the standard I had expected. The food was only fair, yesterday's bread served at breakfast is not five star catering to me. There were about 30 people staying when... More

We stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary. We are lucky to be frequent 5 star travelers and this was the first time without our 3 yr old and 8th old for a few nights break. The grounds are absolutely stunning, streams and beautiful flowers. The beach is private and quiet. All pools were incredibly kept and this for this... More

If you are lucky enough to go to Vilalara it is truly a magical place. ( Not too crowded - a lot of people do the Thalasso treatments). Three beautiful pools and a stunning beach. All set in mature colourful gardens. A good gym, tennis courts and kids club. If you want to have a real holiday book in here.... More

The location of this hotel is truly spectacular. It sits about 200 feet above the beach in a break in the cliffs. The main pool, restaurant and bar look out over the sea which was azure and merged with a cloudless sky in the week of our visit. The resort sits in lush well maintained gardens and seemed uncrowded the... More

We stayed four nights at this lovely place. We had a room with garden view. This room was grand with a very beautiful bathroom. The resort was very relaxed and quiet. The ideal spot to chill down! Initially we booked for three nigs, but during the stay decided to extend for one day longer. Would certainly come back.
