"Absolutely amazing breakfast, everything fresh!"

"The property is expansive, beautiful and well maintained. We were warmly greeted at reception and granted early check in. We were given a tour of the property via a golf cart then deposited at our lovely Elegant Suite. So far so good. One of the primary reasons we booked Vilalara is because of they have a spa. We don't typically book services but we love using the sauna, steamer, and other amenities. We stopped at the spa and were given a brief tour. We were not shown the thalassa features, so I can't tell you what they entail, but we did see the cold plunge tub, a small windowless relaxation room, a small sauna and steamer. This area was not very large or impressive for a spa property and the resort charges 22 Euro per person, per day to use it. No where on their website, or any affiliated sites was this published. We would not have booked this hotel if we had known about the upcharge. Also, their website says they have a jacuzzi but none of the three outdoor pools had a spa. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the gorgeous beach and pools but a cool day would have been miserable. Other disappointments were inconsistent housekeeping; one night we had no turndown service at all and other nights we had only the delivery of water. We constantly had to ask for coffee pods and/or cream. The gym is lovely and they have high end cardio but need additional free weights, one set of each weight is inadequate. The breakfast staff and food were wonderful, but we will not return."

"I had an excellent stay at the Editory by the Sea. I came for my 30th birthday celebration with my daughter. On my birthday they sent me a cake with a candle and champagne("

"Bel hotel, tres bien situé proche de la plage, certaines chambres avec vue sur mer et d'autres non. Buffet excellent. Employés très courtois. Je recommande cet hotel sans hésiter."

"Excellent breakfast "

"Beautiful resort with incredible views and walking paths to explore the coastline. Highlights were the front desk staff & Roel. This team were so friendly and helpful to all guests. Thank you Roel! Lighthouse bar has great drinks, staff and menu options. Gastro Pub- great food! Spa pool- nice and quiet to relax after exploring this beautiful area."

"My favorite part of this hotel was the view. We were fortunate to have a seaview room which had a balcony that we used nightly to wind down. The hotel allow lots of ways to enjoy the beautiful views - poolside and all restaurants. The room was spacious and clean with a seaview from all angles of the room - lloved it. The staff was most helpful when deciding on tour options and all questions we had. The meals where very good with the breakfast assortment being spectacular! The best I have ever experienced. We had the occasional dinner at the hotel which was lovely ($$$$). We also walked into the village and had wonderful meals there, as well. We treated ourselves to spa treatment with a couples massage. Of course this was heavenly! We enjoyed the location which allowed us to walk to beaches, village, tours and hike along the cliffs. We thought we would use a car more but it was parked the entire time we were there (at no charge). This 5 star hotel lives up to its stars. Would definitely recommend."

"A nice beach view, and did not use the A/C as we did not need to."
