    Well we felt sad to leave and felt one of the best hotels we have stayed in.

    On arrival the restaurant was closed and would be for 3 days, as happened the following week. Should you wish to drink with dinner so walked into town, it was an uphill walk back and quite strenuous after a meal! When we used hotel restaurant the food was excellent

    The nautical theme of room/ hotel was great. Our room had lovely view and balcony designed to achieve some privacy.

    Initial visit required directions from a local delivery driver, then good signage led me to the steep driveway. A delightful reward for an active day of travel. Jacuzzi (in suite) was a plus.

    Large rooms and gardens in a quiet non touristed neighborhood with upper views of Calella de Palafrugell’s seashore and just a short stepped walk away. Worthy of a return visit. Well suited for all types of visitors such as families (manicured pine forest playgrounds and a large sunny pool), corporate groups, Holiday makers, local residents, Peregrinos, venues like weddings, and solo/adventurers (ViesVerdes is super closeby).

    Unfortunately there was a very bad drain smell and the shower was very dangerous because the temperature was irregular and would suddenly turn very hot for a few seconds but enough to be very painful and burn you

    The website of the property states that there is a heated pool. This is not the case and appears misleading. Also one of the receptionists was very unhelpful and tried to charge us extra costs that did not apply! All the other staff was great though!

    Great breakfast. Nicely located

    Incredible value for money, amazing view of the city, nice territory with old pines, slightly uphill
    • Leisure trip

    The room facilities didn't feel quite fresh, but it wasn't much of a problem. The hotel is within walking distance of the city, but you should be in good shape to walk a bit uphill if you don't have a car.

    A fantastic view of the Palafrugell from the rooftop, a quiet and spacious territory with beautiful pines, and a good restaurant with a large selection of meals for dinner and breakfast (buffet-style).

    No food available at midday- long walk into town, very steep coming back. The pool, gardens and restaurant could do with a bit of up dating- most of the plastic loungers were cracked. There is no connection between the indoor dining room and outside one: the former has vast glass windows that don’t open, so it’s very stuffy. The cooked breakfast options are always cold

    Attractively decorated, if small, rooms, with balconies looking over the gardens and town to the sea. Very reasonable and well cooked evening meals. Large swimming pool.

    There was a bit of a damp smell. The lift unless operated by water made a lot of water flowing noises. The tunnel to the dining area was dank and there was water on the middle of the floor after rain. Still overall can be recommended.

    The staff were efficient but not welcoming. Rooms lovely. Breakfast good. A quick walk to the beach area downhill.

    The family cabin did not have hot water in one bedroom and there was no fridge to keep beverages cold. I cannot speak to the actual hotel rooms. At times it seemed a little understaffed

    We stayed in the family cabin. There was a lot of space and the bedding was very comfortable. The location was close to the pool and to the street and it was very easy to get into town. The hotel had a lovely pool and bar area and a very cute train for children to ride once a day. The hotel is very close to the Callela center but just outside so it feels a peaceful and relaxing compared to the bustling town

    The cost of the hotel room does not reflect the quality of the hotel. I feel people are being overcharged for basic rooms. I do not feel this hotel offers good value for money. Unfortunately, this is now typical of Spain in general.

    I didn't have breakfast, so can't comment. The room was clean but quite basic. The seaview was a seaview, but was unspectacular. The location of the hotel is good, near to the resort. Reception staff were friendly.
