Reviews
Amazing hotel, beautifully decorated and well positioned. Hotel team made us feel very welcomed.
Very good size pool and other amenities.
Please ensure adequate staffing levels in the restaurant as only one server during bank holidays is deemed to cause delays. He did great though!
This is probably the most beautiful room and chic hotel that I have ever experienced. Amazing room, great for a romantic stay. Breakfast was also delicious with local touches and the staff very friendly and attentive. Love all Costa Brava, specially in the off season so we will definitely come back.
Nice service, lovely room (if a bit dated).
Excellent breakfast.
