We had a week at Dam Hotel Lara and for the price we paid, we don't think you could get better value for your money. The room was clean enough, but still had limescale on top of the shower head that flaked away when touched. The fixings on the wall fell off a few times too. Otherwise it was perfectly clean.
The service of the staff was completely ok, but i wish our questions about local beaches and swimming spots would not be turn into a sales pitch for a partner location, even though they were reasonable and probably perfectly fine.
Even though the price we paid for staying there was extremely reasonable, and not enough to not really warrant a breakfast buffet included, we still felt a little disappointed by the very meagre selection. I actually think that we would have a better experience if we did not have the breakfast included in our stay. Anyways, it's an added bonus.
Otherwise the cleaning service was professional, the AC was fantastic and the pool facilities seemed well taken care of too.
Again, i don't think you can beat the price to stay at Dam Lara Hotel, and if we had the same budget we would probably book it again.
ps: There is street parking all around the hotel and from what we could gather there is quite a lot of room to park a rental car. The cliff beaches are 10 minutes by taxi away too, which is fantastic.
