Overall loved this hotel for our honeymoon. It was a quick walk to the beach and also the pool was a great place to hang for a lazy day. Had a couple of complaints -- that we couldn't find the beach stand to get chairs/umbrellas and that they didn't have any availability at the restaurant and no openings reserved for hotel guests. We would have loved to have eaten there. The hotel was very accommo...

Such a lovely hotel, we had the best week here. Perfect location for exploring local villages but also no need to go far as great beach and restaurants just a walk away from the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff and good food. Would recommend to anyone!

Hotel is brand new. The perfect definition of “ocio” meaning full relaxation. Extremely comfy bed, pillows, towels, amenities… Definitively an oasis. Couple of things for next season: (1) hotel was barely empty and the breakfast faced the same challenges as described below by other guests related with refreshing food. I had to ask twice for fruits. There were two waiters there but not paying enoug...

Great addition to an amazing costa brava town. It is new and they are quickly working through minor issues. The rooms are well appointed, staff to guest ratio is solid, and the setting relaxing. The bar has too notch drinks and snacks - the oysters are amazing. The restaurant I did not try this trip but will be back for it and update the review. Walking to the local restaurants and beach is eas...
