Currently enjoying our last day at this hotel. Firstly praise to all the staff that we have encountered, from the reception staff , restaurant staff, bar staff and cleaning ladies - all had a smile and were friendly but especially to Jose and Ivan the bar staff , who are clearly a great assett to the hotel. The hotel rooms were lovely and clean and the bathroom very modern with a large walk in shower ( see pics) the main area of the hotel could do with an update although it is pleasant enough. Given the time of year we are here the indoor spa area and pool proved popular especially as the sun didnt fully land on the pool until late morning. The outdoor pool and sun bed area was fine , not a large area but was nice enough.
The food in the restaurant was nice, with a large enough choice to suit even the fussiest eaters i.e our 2 teenage kids ! The only critism was saturday nights seafood theme night. I like seafood but unfortunately other family members didnt and the hotel should have put more alternative choices on. The hotel had only a few british holiday makers, mainly french. I have to say on a few occasions we were made to feel uncomfortable with some groups of older french people staring at us and i mean not looking away even when we noticed them . I came to appreciate that maybe in their culture its not rude to stare, like it is in the british culture but even so the four of us did feel uncomfortable on occasions. To.clarify we are a normal looking couple with 2 polite teenage girls so nothing unusual to stare at us for !
The entertainment wasnt great , we saw 3 singers and a couple of nights (sunday n monday) no one on but maybe again, that was reflective of the time of year.
The hotel is in the fenals area of Lloret and has a lovely pretty beach cove 5-10 mins walk from hotel. Lloret centre is approx 20 mins walk and well worth a visit.
We came half board n upgraded to all inclusive but got a bit apprehensive as each time we had drinks, restaurant or bar etc we were presented with a 'bill' so.in the end changed to ful board as we were worried we may end up with a large bill at the end of the week as it was a bizarre all inc set up. No bands , just a card so fingers crosse we wont get an extra b on check.out tomorrow.
All in all a lovely relaxing family holiday.
