Lovely family holiday

Reviewed By N381VOlisam

Weve just had a lovely 10 day stay at this hotel and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I can appreciate that there is some truth to the negative comments but I just can't agree with them completely. We went during half term so it was pretty busy but we always got a sunbed. We didn't have issues with queues whilst we were there and the cups were definitely not tiny. They were small paper cups but a decent enough size. I saw a few people get more than 2 alcoholic drinks at a time too so perhaps this rule has been loosened? I was quite relieved as we didn't have any issues with queuing at the bar day or night for the daily cocktail! The mini disco was sweet the songs were in other languages but the kids don't care, they learn the routines and join in regardless which is lovely. I do agree there could be a little more engagement though it feels a little like the kids are watching dancers rather than the animation team? They could maybe do more games and have winners for musical statues, maybe do a conga and get a couple kids on stage to compete or something? But the floor was full every night so that just goes to show you! The food was amazing. The comments re the lack of variety are unfathomable. I honestly don't know what more you could want. An amazing salad bar with different mini salads each day, amazing fish, different meat dishes each day, different pasta dishes, always chips and fresh stone baked pizza, different cooked vegetables, stews, fish pies, lasagnes, we ate like Kings! And beautiful cream cakes fruits ice creams daily. And thats not even starting on breakfasts ! Everything you could expect from an all inclusive buffet was there. No complaints. Except maybe that my pants are now a little tight... didn't visit the snack bar so can't comment there. No ice cream available outside lunch and dinner but gorgeous ice cream place down the road. Our 4 year old went to the kids club a few times and I have to say the animation team are a credit to the hotel they work so hard and are so friendly. Our son loved going on the bouncy castle and they also ran adult classes all day like aqua gym, ping pong, yoga and an amazing pool party one afternoon it was such great fun and there was always something to get involved in (if you could pull yourself away from the slides) The pool is cold thats true , so I dont recommend going for your holiday in November, stick to the summer months and you'll be fine. Overall dying to go back ! Amazing beach 2 mins away, few excursions to keep you happy and lovely hardworking staff. Thanks for a great stay ?

Room was all that it was promised to be. Food for breakfast normally first class Employees helpful, enthusiastic Unfortunately the promise of an early breakfast on our leaving day did not materialise so we were left to wait for 3 hours and had to buy our own when finally we reached the airport. Despite mentioning this to the hotel they have not sought to apologise or contact me.

Vilalara Thalassa Resort

50 kilometres from Faro airport (FAO, ALgarve - Portugal), the Blue&Green Vilalara Thalassa Resort is a lakeside haven of style, comfort and exclusivity. As you gaze out and enjoy the setting you will realize the resort’s true essence and magic. This is a fascinating place where every detail has been designed for your wellbeing. Located on the Praia das Gaivotas cliff overlooking the sea, with a 12-hectare area consisting mainly of magnificent gardens, the Resort has 100 junior suites, 11 suites and 13 apartments. The low-rise architecture is marked by soft lines and colours and appears to have been inspired by Gaudi. It includes one restaurant of Portuguese cuisine and gourmet, low-calorie menus, and another with theme dinners and barbecues. It also features six outdoor pools of fresh and sea water and one of its main trademark images: the Thalassotherapy and Spa Center, the first in Portugal and one of the most respected in the world. soft lines and colours and appears to have been inspired by Gaudi.

Stunning relaxing resort

Reviewed By Bronagh W

The photos don't do it justice, this is a fantastic resort with everything you need for a lovely chilled holiday. Great staff, amazing breakfast, lovely rooms. Pools are great, lots of loungers, direct access to beach with loungers and towels. Pure comfort all round. The only drawback (and it didn't affect my enjoyment of my holiday at all) was that the restaurants didn't have very extensive menus and I didn't think there was any value there but it depends what you're looking for. The breakfast buffet was really great though. Would definitely love to go back.

The staff are very polite and the service they provide is excellent. We would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to be close to a beach in the algarve and a quiet and relaxing environment.

Very poor hotel

Reviewed By Edgar_LR

I was recently is this hotel during a business trip. As soon as we got to the reception we realized that booking.com was charging too much for the accommodation quality. They even wanted to show us the room before checking in, because some people get surprised. The hotel is pretty old and very classic! A balcony. A mega tiny TV on the wall. And very old wc but the shower works perfectly and lots of light inside. The sliding door from the balcony doesn't avoid the noise from the main road which is terrible. It's a road hotel so there's hundreds of cars passing by everyday. Ghetto mattress is too hard too. So the overall quality of sleeping is in my opinion pretty bad! The parking lot is pretty big though. Breakfast is really simple! Bread, butter, coffee, jam, water. That's it! I would say that is too expensive for the price that I paid!

Excellent service

When let down by a scamming holiday company I contacted the manager who arranged accommodation for our party of 10! The service was exceptional from the booking, kind, courteous and thoughtful. We had a lovely time and our accommodation was upgraded to a wonderful 2 bed apartment. We will return as we know the service is superb for big groups

Неадекватный хозяин

Reviewed By Sergey R

После бронирования номера на букинге, мне пришло письмо, с требованием оплатить 30% стоимости проживания через БАНКОВСКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД. Это уже меня напрягло, но я попробовал сделать перевод (без визита в отделение банка естественно). По предоставленным реквизитам интернет банкинг моего банка не смог найти банк получателя. Я написал об этом хозяину отеля и предложил снять деньги с моей карты, привязанной к аккаунту букинга. На что он предложил мне СХОДИТЬ в отделение банка и разобраться :)) Это естественно в мои планы не входило. Далее была ни к чему не преведшая переписка. Связался со службой поддержки букинга. Они позвонили ему. Ни о чем договориться не смогли, так как он ВООБЩЕ не говорит на английском. Единственное чем они мне смогли помочь - отменили бронь. Я за одну поездку бронировал около полутора десятка гостиниц и тратить столько времени на одну из них просто не готов. Видимо хозяин не принимает гостей из других стран или просто страдает старческой деменцией. Не тратьте время
