Fitness & Vitality, 7 nights

De foto's doen het geen recht, dit is een fantastisch resort met alles wat je nodig hebt voor een heerlijke vakantie. Geweldig personeel, geweldig ontbijt, mooie kamers. Zwembaden zijn geweldig, veel ligstoelen, directe toegang tot het strand met ligstoelen en handdoeken. Puur comfort rondom.

Het enige nadeel (en het had helemaal geen invloed op mijn plezier van mijn vakantie) was dat de restaurants geen erg uitgebreide menu's hadden. Het ontbijtbuffet was echter echt geweldig.

Zou zeker graag teruggaan.

Discover Longevity Vilalara

Geweldig resort. We hebben hier met veel plezier een week verbleven. Het resort is beeldig aangelegd. Bediening is erg goed. prijs/kwaliteit van het resort is goed. Alleen het eten/drinken gedurende de dag is iets aan de dure kant, maar wel van hoge kwaliteit.

Over het algemeen hadden we een aangenaam verblijf. Ik zou dit resort zeker aanraden als je van een week vakantie in de Algarve wilt genieten.
