We have stayed at the Vidamar on many occasions and it never fails to impress. Always spotlessly clean and the choice of food available at both breakfast and dinner are excellent. We will definitely be back!!

If Ryanair Did 5 Star Hotels! That's probably a little unfair to the Ryanair of today though,as they seem to be behaving a lot better nowadays. I'm referring to the Ryanair of yesteryear where they fleeced you with fine print and the the staff had this 'take it or leave it' attitude. My daughter had an emergency appendectomy on holiday. she was really struggling to walk. the hotel kindly loaned her a wheelchair to use. hours later there was a billing query which admittedly was my fault, but I rectified it and that was the end of the story on my part. it seemed like seconds later they where at my room to take the wheelchair back with smug suggestions on where one could be rented for our stay. silly story i suppose, but indicative of the the kind of spiteful, vindictive atmosphere cultivated in this place. there are better places and far cheaper. a real pity as the the location is awesome

The fact that it was close to the beach was great. The food at the buffet was really good. My overall comments are great except for the fact that the cleaning of the room was not great: I put the card asking to change the bed and they did not do it. Twice they forgot to clean the sink, there was still toothpaste. And the 2 glasses they leave in the room were never cleaned. But overall, I would recommend this hotel big time.
