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. More

This hotel is set in an ideal location with beautiful gardens and sandy beach in a alcove. Buffet breakfast includes a wide choice. However, the many fruit flys landing on the food served in the dining area puts you off. WHY do they not do something about this??? Cover it up please....Very unhygienic!!! Stayed in Junior suite with a great... More

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at this fabulous hotel where the rooms were really comfortable, the food delicious, the surroundiings beautiful and the staff extremely kind, courteous and helpful. It was a last minute decision to go, but we will definitely return next year. The pictures are true to the hotel, its private beach and the... More

After staying in many hotels and resorts in the Algarve over the years, I decided I wanted to stay in a property where I could walk to the beach easily, preferably a secluded beach with hotel service. This narrowed my search down to three hotels: Vilalara, Vila Vita Parc and Quinta do Lago. The latter has quick access to Ancao... More

The southern coast of Portugal is paradise and a resort located over there with a history of its own can be nothing but spectacular. Vilalara is one among several resorts located close to each other. What makes it spectacular is its unique adobe-like architecture spread across a large area, a swimming pool overlooking the beach and a huge rock island... More

This was our 4th stay at Vilalara and certainly wont be the last. Expensive but worth every penny. Wonderful gardens, spacious airy bedrooms, excellent service, amazing breakfast, peaceful surrounding. I would recommend this hotel to anyone searching for tranquility and peace. Absolutely amazing place. More
