Laura, who shares 21-month-old daughter Bonnie with ex Gary Lucy, shared a series of highligh snaps from the getaway - telling followers it was gifted to her.
And some were quick to hit out at the TV star for being given the freebie.
One wrote: "I don't understand society!
"I mean, I get it I get why companies give free holidays like this to promote, but imagine if they allowed people who wouldn't normally experience these types of things and let them promote on social media.
"Like underpaid nurses, doctors paramedics firemen and women the people that put out so much into society."
But some pointed out that it's Laura's job as an influencer to promote companies.
One said: "It's called a PR stay. It's her job, she has over 1.5 million followers she is able to promote this to. It's how she earns a living."
Laura and Clark - who plays for Dundee - went public with their relationship in October last year.
And she later revealed the surprise way they got together.
Laura told The Sun: "It's not very romantic, he messaged me online and I saw it about three years later and replied and here we are.
"I didn't make it public for a little bit, but we've been together for a little bit.
"It's nice, it's chilled, no drama, just simple. A good Scottish boy, I can't complain."

Amy Hart's heartbreaking fertility struggle as she tries for second baby
Love Island's Amy Hart has revealed that while she and husband Sam Rason are trying for another baby, she has faced a secret fertility struggle - admitting it's 'hard' to talk about. Amy Hart has admitted that while she'd 'love' more children, she's struggling to conceive this time around due to a fertility struggle. The former Love Island star, w ho already shares son Stanley with husband Sam Rason, has shared that doctors have said her BMI is higher than optimum for getting pregnant, meaning she is now trying to lose weight in order to become a mum again. 31-year-old Amy rose to fame on the dating show in 2019 and is hosting the Love Island Podcast again this year. She explained to Mirror: "I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. !I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant." She continued: "I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others." During the exclusive interview, below, Amy also discussed how she is balancing life as a mum and the new series of Love Island, which kicks off on Monday. Amy, how are you? Busy, balancing work and mum life? You know, I like to try and be two people – I don't like to blur the lines of work and mum life. I like to keep my days with Stanley work-free and the days I am working, my family or my husband's family help out. My childcare arrangements are a bit crazy but Stanley has a great network of people. The other day I said to him, 'Who's your best friend?' And he was like, 'Auntie Jane!' Do you feel pressure to portray motherhood in a certain way online? No, I'm quite lucky in that Stanley is quite straightforward. People think that I don't show real motherhood, and I'm like, 'Well I'm showing my motherhood.' Because I chose not to show him crying, having a tantrum, not showing him if he ever went to the hospital, and people say that's not real life. I'm like, 'I just have boundaries with my child.' My guiding light is, if my husband put this on his story of me, would I be annoyed? If the answer is yes, I don't put it there. What's the funniest thing Stanley has said or done? Oh, it's probably more that he just has to run everywhere he goes, full pelt! And his speech is so funny. Everything is 'that's so cool' or 'oh goody'. He just keeps us laughing, constantly. And how's married life with Sam? It feels just like it did before, we both feel quite free. We are in such a good place, we have such a good time. We always say that we both knew we would get married at some point, but we never thought that we would meet someone we got on so well with.

I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant. I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others. Any behind-the-scenes secrets from working on the Love Island podcast? I've heard it's gonna be the most dramatic series yet. I'm a superfan, so I almost, don't predict what happens, but I'm like, 'Oh I love this part.' But apparently that's all going to change this year, it's going to be completely different. We watch the episode live, so there's no way we can know about the drama ahead of the podcast. When we go on the pod, all our live reactions are fresh. What do you think of this year's islanders, who's your favourite? Well, there's a former British Airways hostess who started at Gatwick just like me, so that's really special. I think we know some of the same people. We love an air hostess. I'm really looking forward to seeing her. Are you still friends with islanders from your season? I love Amber [Gill], and everyone else, it's a bit like work colleagues. I don't live in London. I sort of have my own life down here. I love having a chat and seeing their news on Instagram, and when we see each other it's like no time has passed, but we don't live in each other's pockets. That's just life and part of growing up. How would you describe your confidence now compared to when you were on Love Island? I was about to jokingly say, I'm a lot heavier! But talking about confidence, I was only 57 kilos when I was on Love Island , and I was very self-conscious of my body, still. I wouldn't wear bandage dresses because I didn't think I had the body for it, whereas now, if I like a dress, then I will wear it. I also want pictures with my little boy on holiday, in the sea and on the beach. I don't want there to be a lot of, like, missing pictures and videos of his childhood, because I was a size 14. Making memories is more important.

Country diary: This hardy survivor is brightening up the moors
From high on the Allendale moors, I can see right to the Scottish border and the soft blue outline of the Cheviot Hills. Below me, the West Allen Valley holds deeper colours, the land green and bounded with stone walls or dotted with small woods. Shadows thrown by the early evening light pick out every feature: streams, cleughs, barns and farms, mining spoil and ruins – a record of the land. The wind is warm, buffeting the cottongrass that stretches across the boggy ground and along the roadside ditch. It's a boom year for this beautiful plant, perhaps due to the dry spring putting the plants under stress. A sedge rather than a grass, Eriophorum angustifolium flourishes in its harsh moorland environment, sending out underground rhizomes where few other plants will grow; a line of snow poles shows what the winters are like. The plant's ability to survive here gives it the alternative name of bog cotton. Today, the wind sets every fluffy seedhead in bobbing motion, dancing with light like the choppy scintillations of waves. The discreet greenish flowers could be easily missed. It's those downy cottonwool plumes that enable wind dispersal that have been used to stuff pillows and make candle wicks, and dress wounds during the first world war. Plug plants of cottongrass are being planted by the North Pennines National Landscape to restore degraded blanket bog. Binding the surface of the peat together with their wandering roots, they prevent further erosion. In other benefits, the female black grouse that I occasionally see up here feed on the flower heads, giving them a source of protein and energy before laying eggs in spring. The larvae of large heath butterflies feed on a similar species, the hare's tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum. For a brief time, the moor is transformed in white and I come up here to revel in the spectacle and feel the peace. Swallows swoop to pick up insects off the road. A hare lopes through the tussocks as a lark delivers a stream of notes above. Then a curlew lifts off, beats its wings before gliding, its ecstatic bubbling song ending in a drawn-out plaintive note.
