Myself and my husband stayed here for a fortnight back in August 2009 and we had a really great time. The rooms are spacious - they have a balcony, a living room area, a bedroom area and a bathroom. There was plenty of storage space for the two of us, a TV with a good choice of channels, and the bathroom had both a shower and a bath which is always a luxury for me. The rooms were well maintained daily and kept clean and overall we were really comfortable here for the fortnight. A huge bonus, of course, is that the rooms are fully air conditioned at no extra cost.
We stayed half board and the food was truly excellent both at breakfast and evening meal - it was the very best thing about the hotel and the best part of our stay. The staff in the restaurant were superb - second to none anywhere I have been. The choices every evening were varied and we never tired of the food. Sometimes there was a queue - but it always moved quickly. The only minor complaint is that the restaurant is not air conditioned and in the height of summer it did get very hot in there sometimes. I also recommend that if you are coming here you go all inclusive as the drinks for us were quite expensive.
Lloret itself is busy and noisy, and this hotel sits about 10 minutes out of the town centre, so the location is perfect. This hotel is full of French and Spanish, and other Europeans - always a good sign in my opinion. There were no lager lout Brits around which is a bonus. The hotel is fairly quiet at night time - and we were only disturbed a few times by noisy families. The entertainment was pretty good both day and night and seemed to be really aimed at children, so this place is a great choice for families.
Unfortunately one major complaint I have about this hotel is the reception staff. Not once throughout our stay here were we ever greeted with any manners.
Additionally we travelled with Thomas Cook and had major problems with them too - so please beware!
This hotel was a great base for travelling around the Costa Brava and I highly recommend a trip to Tossa De Mar, Girona and Barcelona while you are here. The area is very beautiful and some of the scenery is breath taking. There is so much to see and do, it makes for a great trip, and the weather during the summer is simply gorgeous.
