We booked VilaNova knowing that it was a child friendly place and we are a middle aged couple. All the write-ups were good. However, don't go there if you are a couple looking for a bit of peace and quiet to sleep, especially at 5am in the morning.

The accommodation is filthy and old, it’s really noisy which ever block that you are in.

The hotel staff are rude and unhelpful. The pool went green when we were there and it looked like a swamp. There was also scum around the edge of the po... read more
