We went here as a family of 8, 2 adults and 6 kids, COUPLE OF YEARS AGO!!!, not January 2011, but culdnt put that year in!!!lol, booked it through the internet, at a good price, we went all inclusive, to be truthfully honest our kids really enjoyed it, the weather was good, there were alot of stag and hen parties there, but all good fun, not sure what has happened to the place i have read it has been closed down?, sad really as we were thinking of going there again.
a very nice break away from the UK. Firstly it was not the most easiest hotel to find, as it was situated in the back streets (even the taxi driver couldnt find it).We both found out that the receptionists were not that helpful and welcoming. Overall we had a nice time. the location was very convinient - less than a 1 mile away from the beach. A very touristic location and a lot of friendly people. . There was a local bus station - approx 2miles, very convinient to commute around Loret De Mar.
So we would have recommended it, had it been not CLOSED????

My daughter has just arrived at the Sunrise hotel to find out it has closed, a note on the door advises guests to report to the Royal Star Hotel. On arrival, my daughter was informed that they didn't have a reservation for her and had to pay 70 Euros for the night. This is a disgrace bearing in mind the she and her boyfriend are only 18 years of age and this is their first time abroad.
Imagine how any father would feel when they get a phone call from their daughter sobbing on the first day of her holiday,
Do not book this hotel or use On The Beach as an agent!
I've now got to try and sort this mess out tomorrow because after endless calls today, no one can do anything because it's Sunday.
I do hope that this is of use to any Trip Advisor readers.

stupidly after booking a package holiday to this hotel i then looked at reviews which were not great. to start with the hotel is situated at the top of a steep hill which you have to pull your luggage up to. when u arrive you are on the sixth floor with no sign posts where reception is (4th floor)
The main issue we had was that the two lifts they were so small our childs buggy would not fit in unless calasped, and would not fit through our room door way either unless colapsed. concidering we were travelling with a 2 year old and a 1 year old, they gave us late sitting for dinner which was 8.15pm which was far to late for little ones. if you wanted to venture out to shops and beach for us was a trek in itself due to another lift and door frames that were too small for buggy which we then had to callapse or carry the buggy and kids down four flights of stairs. i spose the hotel would be ok if you were a young couple but no family freindly like it states. the pools were freezing cold september as we have not long been back. some of the staff are lovely but bar staff are very rude, and if you are full enclusive you are only alowd to collect 2 drinks at a time which when traveling with 2 kids is riduculous as it means having to do two trips to bar. the entertainment is good though, and my little girl loved the mini disco on nearly every night. there is building work going on at hotel which meant that there was alot of banging. overall it was nice to get away but hotel made it more stressful than its worth. oh and a quick note if you planning to visit spain lloret de mar beach has crap atificial sand which you cannot build sandcastles with at all. (my little girl was very dissapointed)

So we had read the reviews and thought the hill was going to be steep and resort full of German or Spanish. Ok so the hill, although short, was steep but in fairness the pool area was not full of German and Spanish but Brits havin a good time, yes its all inclusive so not a great family resort and the pool is a little on the small side for the number of guests. Nightlife is about a 10 mins walk along the beach although you have to go down 4 flights of stairs at the hotel and turn left, passing a good Scottish bar on the right. Food is a mixed bag, some nights really good but there was the odd occasion slightly cold. All in all a great holiday for the price, reception staff very good and helpful, check in quick once finding reception (4th floor). Would go back but probably for a lads holiday only.
