A lot of us from Calis went to various hotels in Lara over the festive season, I think this is a golden opportunity to get the lowdown in preparation for those people who intend going again to Lara Beach next year.
I will start off with my report/opinion of The Rixos Lares, this being our second visit.
1) Hotel: Very good, good and spacious bedrooms, we had 2 minor defects in the room, but they were
fixed immediately.
2) Food: A very good choice of dishes, but mostly the same every day. The waiters were worked off of their
feet but except for a couple, managed to smile and be polite when everything was not going their
way.
3) Bars: 1 Bar downstairs for evening and one bar upstairs all day. Once again the staff worked hard under
pressure. Red Lable whiskey was kept under the bar and you had to ask for it, but no problems.
The seating needed to be sorted out better, the sofas were far too long.
4) Staff: Very attentive, polite and chatty
5) Entertainment: There was something on every night in the downstairs bar, one night we had ABBA and
another night we had Barbra Streisand.
I am surprised Elvis was not resurrected for the night. Both sets of impersonators were good for the
2hours they were on.
Value for money??? Definitely
Would we go again??? Yes but not for a couple of years, a different hotel next year, hence this post
