We stayed at this hotel for ten nights in Sept '23 as part of an EasyJet package holiday. We were half board and managed to get dinners for only £15pp extra for all ten nights!! At the time of booking, we worried that this meant that the evening meals would be sub-standard; they really weren't. I will review each aspect of the holiday in sections. Hotel: The hotel is very well designed. We thought that the photos accurately reflected what it is like. It is very clean and it isn't garish, like many of the other hotels in the area. The pool area is nicely designed but it is quite small and the pool isn't heated. Sun goes behind the hotel at about 4pm, so beach is best if you're looking for all day sun. (Fenals beach is much nicer than Lloret, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to). All the rooms have a balcony. Ours overlooked another hotel and caught the sun late afternoon. The only thing we missed was a kettle in the room. We actually bought a small one from a shop around the corner, cost about £12. Food: The food was much better than we anticipated having read some reviews here. Breakfast: sausages, bacon, eggs (done in variety of ways), beans, cold meats, veg, bread and jams, fresh fruit, yoghurt, patisseries (croissant, choc au pain etc), cereals, nuts, fresh juices and hot drinks. Dinners were very good and varied. There were multiple meat types each night and various fish meals. I eat mostly vegetarian and there was enough options for me to eat. There was a good salad bar every night and the desserts were extremely good. In general, the patisseries and dessert in Lloret de Mar are very well made and are everywhere through the town! You do have to pay for your own drinks at dinner. Water is free. The eating area is well laid out, you do sometimes have to queue. We avoided this by getting there early. Location: The hotel is about a five minute walk to the beach and about a two minute walk to the bus station. Very handy for getting bus to Barcelona, Blanes, Tossa de mar (highly recommend a day trip to Tossa, it is a beautiful old town) and Girona. We caught the coach to Barcelona rather than doing the tour. The tour bus will stop at many other hotels to pick people up, which can take a long time. There are a number of beautiful botanical gardens along the Catalan coast which are really worth visiting. There is one in Lloret de Mar, another near Blanes which is worth visiting. In general, Blanes seemed much quieter than Lloret and less touristy. We had no issues with loud music or drunk people, perhaps because we didn't go out of the hotel again after dinner. We used ear plugs at night and had no issues with noise. Staff: We read various reviews that mentioned about difficult staff or staff that favored the French/Spanish guests. This was not our experience (we are from the UK). The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The waiters in the restaurant are lovely, very smiley and welcoming. The staff seem to be friendly with
