Vilalara Thalasa is a beautiful beach side resort. It is situated on a cliff edge with outstanding views of the ocean. The facilities are second to none and the staff are excellent. Difficult to find a fault with the resort, it was a fantastic week stay that we wished could have been for longer.

Good holiday

The service and accommodation were excellent. Food good. Very quiet for this time of year (children limited to toddlers). Staff polite, friendly and very helpful. The only downside is that they need more entertainment; a good transfer service to the nearest towns and rail service and better communication as to the medical facilities of the Spa.
