On a recent trip to Costa Brava, my boyfriend and I spent a night at the Parador. What a unique experience! At first glance, we initially regretted our choice. The decor in the common areas was not exactly retro as it seemed to have been manufactured in the 60s. The other guests were from another generation as well. But we... More

Perhaps best location and hotel I have ever stayed in. Atop cliffs with stunning sea views, swooping birds and the premium rooms are enormous and beautifully appointed: Jacuzzi, twin sinks and (slightly intrusive for me) personal exercise equipment. Breakfasts were a magnificent selection but the lunches and dinners were pedestrian at best - not what you expect for effectively 5... More

My wife and I have stayed in over a dozen of the Paradores hotels in Spain and we can confirm without any doubt whatsoever - Aiguablava is the best yet! Superbly located on its own rocky outcrop overlooking the Med the Parador has some of the best facilities you could ask from a Parador - stunning views, nice rooms with... More

Having stayed at many Parador hotels in Spain, we can safely say that this Parador lets the group down. Positive: location amnd view from rooms - lovely! This is a very unique location! Nice that each room has its own balcony with which to enjoy this stunning view. Negative: Food - sub standard with poor presentation. Food had clearly been... More

Our second Parador experience was even better than first. Remarkable location on a cliff with panoramic views to the sea and beyond, simply wow! Unfortunately, we stayed for only one night, and it was raining all the time, the dinner in Parador was less than inspiring and overpriced, and it is nowhere else to go for dinner, but I am... More

This Parador is not the most imposing of buildings but perched on a rocky cliff jutting out to sea has some truly wonderful views. On one side pine trees and rocks fringe a bay & small beach overlooking the sea & on the s/east side rooms have a view of the swimming pool (some maybe slightly obstructed) but overlook the... More

Aigua Blava means blue water in the local dialect, and it certainly is! Set on a cliff overlooking the sea, it provides stunning views of the surrounding coast. Aside form Capo Rosso, this hotel has the best views of just about any I've had the pleasure of visiting. Stay here for the view if for no other reason. Sitting high... More

Everything about the hotel is perfect apart from the evening dinner menu and food quality. In contast the breakfasts were really good. Back to the evening menu which does not change or vary from one day to another. The food and the variety were about the worse we have ever had in Spain. We were booked in for half board... More

The hotel has a gorgeous setting on a steep cliff overlooking the meditarrenean. The rooms are spacious and well kept with nice balconies. Breakfast is very good but lunch and dinner menues less than specular. The seafood dishes all taste the same based on a rustic catalan fish stew, and the rest of the limited selections lack sophistication. Seems that... More

My wife and I stayed here for four nights and we felt as though we had been away for a month. The location is excellent and the views over the coastline / beach and the sea are great. There are some lovely sitting areas, by the pool and by the terrace overlooking the sea. Breakfasts are simply superb with a... More
