“A 2 star at best, not what we expected.”

Prior to going on holiday to the Sherwood Lara exclusive, we had read a lot of bad reviews. As it turned out it as with good reason. The whole place needs up grading.

Prior to going on holiday to the Sherwood Lara exclusive, we had read a lot of bad reviews. As it turned out it as with good reason. The whole place needs up grading. In our apartment the toilet flusher was hanging off the wall. There was no balcony to sit on, the wood floor was coming up and i caught my foot on it a couple of times. We were put in the disabled room on the first floor, and neither of us are disabled. The spiral staircase is dangerous, so you have to get the lift. In the restaurant it didn`t get any better as the food was not great, expected a better option for all guests not just focused on some. Apart from one lady in the over 16 dining area i would say that the service is very selective towards guests. Entertainment was the same every night , just with a different name. Overall it was a break but would NOT return to this hotel again for any price. we have been to Lara beach a few times and this is by far the worst one.

This is a recollection of our experience at the hotel, and is not intended to contradict or counter that of others who may have differing views. We chose this hotel partly on a recommendation and partly on the fact that they serve international drinks as we find some of the local provision, not to our liking. We arrived at the hotel expecting a 5 star experience, and were a little tentative when entering and very disappointed by the time we got to our room, where we found fixtures and fittings hanging off the wall in an unsafe fashion, a 2 seat sofa where cushions didn’t fit and a noisy rattling extractor fan in the bathroom. We complained and were moved to another room the same night,which was much better. We did have issues with towels and bedding during the stay, where we were supplied with items of both that had holes in them. It would be fair to say that the hotel looks very dated and is in need of refurbishment throughout. Outside the pool areas are lively with plenty of activities throughout the day. There is also an adults only pool if you like things a little more sedate. There is an adequate supply of beach towels but some have seen better days and could do with replacing. There are 3 bars catering for the pool areas and additional fridges where you can obtain beer and water as and when required. During our stay it was noted that sometimes the fridges were not restocked frequently enough. Bar service around the pools was non-existent, which is disappointing as several guests reported that previously there had been staff on roller blade’s,ferrying drinks around. In addition to the buffet restaurant, there are 2 other eateries (Pranzo & Sherfood), Pranzo being the best even if a little manic at lunchtime. The Pattiseria is great if you fancy a coffee and cake in the afternoon. The buffet restaurant is the one that really lets things down. Food choice isn’t what you would expect from a 5 star hotel, and is very repetitive. We have experienced some dishes running out halfway through a service, which isn’t a problem if you are an early diner. Some of the dishes were cold or barely warm. The baked beans were cold for our first 8 days and then disappeared altogether. Fried eggs were cooked at 6.30 for a 7am service so little imagination required to know what they would be like. If you fancy a full english….forget it, there is no bacon or sausage. The waiter service is diabolical; they don’t clear the tables, drinks orders may not arrive before dessert, and may not be correct when they do. I ordered 2 beers and got 2 pepsi. Safe to say the staff's grasp on basic English leaves room for improvement. There are several bars to choose from in the hotel and service is ok if a little slow. It appears that the problem is a lack of waiting staff, and that goes for the restaurant too. The reception team are not great to deal with, a smile wouldn’t go amiss. Several attempts were made to have bathrobes supplied that were missing from our room, but fell on deaf ears. If you feel the urge to use the local bus services it is ok to pay with a credit/debit card on the bus. Don’t be conned into buying tickets from the bellboy @ 3€ each. They allow 2 journeys (there and back) which cost just over £1 if you pay on the bus. Be aware that the buses do not take cash. Both our rep and the hotel sent us to the bellboy even though we asked about the card payment.
