Although on the outside of Roses the location was pretty good i thought. The hotel was 5 mins walk from the beach and buses stopped outside the hotel every 20-30 mins which brought you to the centre if that was what you wanted to do.
The food was alot better than expected with a great choice each night.
The rooms were big and clean and all had balconies.
Some bad point swould be that the rooms didn't have AC. The drinks at teh bar were pricey and the cocktails were poor quality.
The hotel entertainment was garbage aswell. I'm not one to hang around for that kind of thing anyway but i've seen that kind of thing before and this was very poor.
All in all the good points far outweigh the bad and i'd reccomend to a friend.

My wife, infant and I stayed at the San Marc hotel for a long weekend. The kid's pool was fund for our little boy. Overall staff was helpful, and worked with what they had. It seemed that the hotel needs some updating, but overall, was in good condition for a three star hotel. Most guests will stay here on a full board basis - but you are wise to eat elsewhere. The food variety was well below average, and the quality of the food served was not very good. I am not a picky eater, but after eating dinner once we decided that the next would be elsewhere. The same holds true for the breakfast. If you are on a tihgt budget, this is the place to go. If you rely on the full board for your meals, you might want to consider another hotel.

We stayed at the San Marc for 5 nights in June 2009. The hotel is very smart, the room was very clean and comfortable, but suffered from a lack of air conditioning during hot weather. There was a good selection of food, with an excellent choice of salads and main dishes which varied each evening, and in quality was probably slightly better than the Victoria, a sister hotel which we have visited twice before.. A wide choice of hot and cold food was available for breakfast. The swimming pool is large, but was not used by many (probably too early in the summer for many). Overall a good choice in Rosas, just a few hundred yards from the beach, and a variety of eating places if you do not eat in the hotel.

We (2 adults and a 7-year-old child) have just come back from a holiday in Roses (Santa Margarita), two weeks full board at Hotel Sant Marc. This was a very enjoyable experience. The Sant Marc is a classically, tastefully decorated hotel with all the expected facilities. Most clients are Spanish and French holidaymakers, with a few Belgians (Brits are hardly seen there). Staff is friendly and helpful (we were moved to a room higher up, with a seaview, without any question – everything else went just as smoothly). Food is varied and plentiful, and overall quite good. Besides the pools, there are activities to keep children busy and happy, including a mini-disco almost every evening (kids love it). There is good quality entertainment for adults, too. All the music and dancing is over by midnight, which means that you can get a restful night.
On the negative side, I can only point out two things. Firstly, the lifts: there are only two for a hotel with 240 rooms, which means you must be fit or patient if your room is on the 8th floor… Secondly, the implementation of the two-services policy in the restaurant means that there are big queues before the second service, and this can be annoying.
Roses, like the hotel itself, is a very pleasant resort, with long fine sand beaches that slope very gently into the sea. It is well located for excursions, and perfect for families with either young or older children, or for couples in search or a safer, quieter and, overall, more ‘civilised’ environment than deafening Lloret de Mar with its wild mobs of partying teenagers and its dedicated ‘vacaboozers’. It all depends on your idea of a holiday...
