Hotel right on the waterfront and just minutes walk to the centre. I had a twin room but could perhaps be a tad small if 2 were sharing. The room was spotless and all rooms come with balconies. All the staff were friendly but especially Teresa and Andres on reception were so welcoming, friendly and helpful - muchos gracias para todo! Breakfast basic with the usual continental fare! Restaurants - Would recommend Portofino restaurant - a bit expensive but very good on the waterfront. Also went to Salamanca cheap and very good - close to O briens bar in restaurant street. Also went to Casa Roberto near Constitution Square - expensive but ambiance and food excellent.
If you stay in Villa Lareda, would recommend Bar Diamante behind hotel for a tapa and drink too - popular local bar. Had a great time from Marion, Joanne and Carmel - November 2011

This hotel is in a great location, right on the seafront and we had great hopes for it but it was just so noisy at night.. We barely got any sleep on any of the 4 nights we stayed here. We bought earplugs after our first night and they didnt even help :( The reception and bar staff are very nice and accommodating but the maids are so noisy in the mornings - you can hear toilets in rooms above and beside you flushing during the night. The doors also bang constantly, they should think about getting something on the doors to prevent this.

Breakfast is the usual continental affair with bread, meat, cheese, cereals, cold boiled eggs, yogurt...tea/coffee/orange juice. There isnt an option of ordering a hot breakfast.

The rooms are fine, there is a mini bar and telly with BBC1 & BBC2 London and a little balcony.

This 3 star hotel exceeded my expectations, it's position is perfect for the beach and town centre with it's excelent transport services. The hotel staff are friendly and helfull, the rooms albeit a little compact have all facilities including air-con, safe, fridge, hair dryer television etc. Breakfast buffet style continental is superb with a wide selection of food and drinks.

DO not listen to all the reviews about rude hotel staff, it is so not true. Yes, there may be a small language barrier, but this is spain, not blackpool. From the moment we got there, we felt more relaxed than we have for a long time. It did not take long for the Staff to have us booked in and into our room. The room was big enough for our weekend break, with a fantastic view out to sea and the marina. The cleanliness was not better than any other hotel we have stayed in, whether 5 star or not.

The location is near enough perfect, quiet enough during the day and night, but close enough to find the food strip and cocktail bars with in minutes. The only down side to the whole weekend was the lucky men every second trying to sell you a bag of tricks.


All in All, this was a fantastic weekend, the best ever, We will definately be back !!!!
