These apartments were great once we managed to get in to them. On arrival we were told that we actually weren't staying at the Blau and were sent to a prison block above MacDonalds! We'd booked in January for a Hen weekend , but apparently something had gone wrong and no-one thought to mention it to us until we arrived. We wasted a whole day -from 10am to 4:30pm arguing, crying, and begging with quite possibly the worst travel agent in the entire world - do not ever use Travel Republic they were shambolic and blamed ( and still are blaming) everyone but them for the issue. The Blau receptionists - we waited so long there was a shift change over - were tolerant of us...i wouldn't go so far as to say helpful - they said it happens everyday during high season so i guess they put up with alot. We eventually got in, and the apartment was spotless with a nice sea view (we were on the road side). It wasn't huge but was fine for just the long weekend we had booked. There were security on the door in the evening which was reassuring as the reception is open to the strip but they seemed to know exactly who was staying and who wasn't. We felt safe returing to the apartment on our own during the night etc. The apartments are literally on the strip, so are noisy, but if you are out late then it doesnt bother you...
Lloret itself was far more international than I imagined, we met people from all over Europe and although everyone's intentions were the same -Party Hard -it was quite refreshing to not be 100% brits.
Lloret is crazy just like any other euro party resort, plenty of bars and clubs. Not too overpriced.The beach isnt too great -gravelly sand and the sea is deep straightaway, wouldnt be good for kids. We went to a beach nearby which was much nicer -just ask around -it was called Santa Christina I think. We ate in the Orient Express for breakfast each day -it was so good, and also had dinnerb their one night, again it was great.
We also ate in San Cabana which was set back from the main road out of Lloret and was lovely with real authentic spanish food. There is plenty of cheap fast food to be had if thats what you like. Smarter restuarents seemed to be a bit harder to come by....
There are too many bars etc to mention, the beach bar is great for HUGE cocktails as the sun goes down. Lloret is great for hen and stag do's and we saw plenty with more fancy dress then normal clothes on most nights! I would throughly recommend Blau apartmnets, and Lloret for a cheap and cheerful weekend as long as your not looking for 'real' spain you'll be fine!
