Stayed here at start and end of a walking trip. The rooms on both nights were comfortable, clean, and perfectly adequate for our needs. We wanted to eat at the hotel's beachside restaurant but this seemed to be an usual request by the response. We had read the previous reviews about the management response to walking boots - but we... More

Comfortable but strangely decorated room. No view and somewhat thin walls. Good breakfast, friendly staff, close to the beach (but not beach-front). The spa predominates the hotel. Overall, a nice place, but not a great value.

Even partial sea view would have been pushing it, this was a big let down when we arrived. We loved the jacuzzi but were not allowed to use it after 9pm. This strict noise reduction policy didn't seem to be very closely policed however, we were kept awake all night by a very noisy couple's activities in the next room.... More

We stayed at this hotel on the first and last day of a walking holiday. Having read earlier reviews from other walkers we arrived with some trepidation regarding the welcome. We can only say that it appears the hotel have read the reviews and acted accordingly. We were cheerfully welcomed. Both standard rooms we stayed in had been refurbished and... More

After having transferred from Cap de Creus, as they have the same owners, we were offered a bigger, but dark room. We paid €304 per night. At that rate, you expect good service and well functioning room. To our dissapointment, this was not what we got. The air condition in the room was not able to cool down the room... More

Plus: really outstanding breakfasts; good diners; very close to first-class swimming beach; very friendly staff; does picnics. Con: we had a small and dark room; the dining room is depressing (they do have a sea front restaurant)

Like the previous reviewers we were probably on the same walking trip, and received the same welcome... i.e you cannot come in with walking boots and wet weather tops on.... we were instructed to remove these at the door and follow the cleaner into the laundry room where we were given our towelling slippers and our tops were hung up...

We stayed here for one night on a walking trip through the northeast corner of Spain. This place sort of rubbed us the wrong way. It's not a fancy place at all, yet, when we arrived we were given terry cloth slippers and told to wear them up to our room. We have no idea why. At the desk, as... More

The hotel is located smack dab in the middle of the village just a short block from the water. Very very very clean. Hikers must remove boots near the lobby and use slippers that are about a size 6. Pretty humorous if your feet are larger. Nice common areas and free WiFi is available in the rooms. Our room was... More

Maybe it was because we were here during the off season and there were only a few people staying at the hotel, but everything was fine for us here. The reception was quite friendly and helpful, there was a free coffee machine and free water in the lounge and the room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast buffet was the... More
