Came back from the the hotel on Fri after a 4 night break with my wife. Hotel was nice and clean with rooms very spacious cleaned daily with change of towels. Quality of pillows not the best, but no different to any othe Spanish All Inc I've been to in the past.

I agree with previous comments in re to card system for drinks if you were on an All Inc basis, what's wrong with the old wristbands! It was a nightmare trying to remember your AI card when going to the bar. Food in the restaurant was basic, i.e you wouldn;t starve if you were a fussy eater, they must get pork on a good deal as it was on the menu every meal time!

Hotel guests were from across Europe, with Spanish, Germans, English and a lot of guests from South Wales, it was like being in Barry Island at one point!

I disagree with the comments re the Germans with the towels, it was the Brits that were queing up waiting for the pool door to open at 9am! Pool area was very clean in both pools, with easy access to both bar areas.

Entertainment wasn't the best but it passed the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful in the hotel.

One tip, if you've got a late eve / night flight booked on day of departure then the All Inc card stops at midday for drinks but they do allow you to get lunch with drinks inc. This was the only drawback of the hotel that they don't allow you to use the bar for an extra few hours. So get a morning or afternoon flight back!

Hotel was close to the centre of Lloret de Mar and the beach (its not sandy), within walking distance (15-20min). Nightlife in centre catered for the young clubbers with nightclubs galore on the main street.

(The title is deliberate. Its the first thing I look for on a review after the rating.)

I'd read the other reviews on here for this hotel and was a little "hmm...have I just paid for a lemon?".
The answer is no.

This was a nice hotel, in a busy location, that seems to be set up mainly for families. It does have an eclectic mix of nationalities and that is certainly worth bearing in mind here. The food, accommodation and entertainment are all as broad spectrum as possible so as to include everyone as much as possible.

So, Food -
Good standard and variety and plenty to choose from. We have a picky eater in our family and she was able to eat something every night. a previous comment about variety at snack time is valid but I would argue its not there as a main meal so its not that important.
Restaurant staff were always pleasant, (One of the chefs looks like comedian Omid Djalli). quick to clear up and turn the tables around for the next guests and generally helpful.

Staff: There were some comments on here about staff. I found all the staff helpful and polite, but I did notice one thing and maybe people forget this. If you are polite and friendly the staff react politely and friendly. If you are rude expect them to be rude back.
The staff were brilliant, bar staff helpful and funny, reception always glad to help and the cleaning staff excellent.

Cleanliness: Daily change of sheets, towels replaced when you want them, rooms and balcony swept everyday, pool areas washed and power hosed every morning and night, and clean public areas. Honestly it was cleaner than some UK 4 and 5 star Hotels I've stayed in.

Rooms: Basic and functional, but your not paying for a luxury suite, your paying for a small bedroom with en-suite and a balcony.If you can get a room high up you will avoid more of the noise day and night, but even on the first floor, you'll avoid most of the noise.
One word of warning is that the walls between rooms are a little on the thin side, so don't be surprised to hear music coming from next door, or on one memorable occasion a fart!

I only went looking for the indoor pool on the last day just to say I'd seen it and knew where it was. We were more than happy with the main pool which gets the sun throughout the whole day, and on occasions the quieter smaller pool which gets the sun for about half the day. All the other amenities were of a good standard.

Entertainment is always a dodgy topic - in the art world one persons masterpiece is another persons doodle's.
By way of proof, for me the entertainment was a miss, but my youngest loved it and the wife enjoyed some of it. The eldest is a teenager so......

So all in all, excellent VALUE - and that's the key word here - VALUE!
Your not paying for a luxury spa break with food prepared by a Michelin starred chef.
So long as you remember that you'll do fine.



One word of caution, and its really the only negative and Its not even about the hotel.
Transfer time quoted on every website this hotel is advertised on is generally 1 hour.

We flew from East Midlands to Girona, total flight time 2 hours 5 min. The transfer from Girona to Royal Star took longer at 2 hours 40 mins.
On arrival that was OK as it was a nice day, the coach had air con and everyone is excited, its light and so you can see everything.

However it means that if you have the early flight back (7am flight to Birmingham, the 8am flight to E.Midlands or the 7:30am Bristol flight) you are leaving the hotel between 3am and 4am.
If you get the chance and you have the budget take a private or direct transfer - not the general coach - we wish we had.
