I had an amazing time at the hotel, especially because of the stunning beach view from my spacious corner room on level 3. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and the large opening windows allowed me to enjoy the breeze and beach sounds. I only used one of the two rooms provided, and it was absolutely stunning and spacious.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although a bit noisy. The Seaview side had a fantastic view of the beach and water, which was a definite highlight. The service was rather serious, but still welcoming and very helpful, especially from Alba at reception. The location was absolutely stunning with friendly and efficient staff, although some aspects could have been clearer on the website before booking. The dining experience was delightful with great food options. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.

I had a fantastic time at this beach hotel. The room overlooking the tiny cove was a bit small, which was a slight letdown for a beach getaway, but the location right on the beach made up for it. The service was top-notch, especially Alba at reception, who was amazing. The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows, with a great variety offered but some disappointments. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor drawbacks.

Staying at the hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms, though basic, were functional with a lovely side Seaview of the beach. However, the noise from adjacent rooms could be disruptive at times. The service was very nice and the staff was helpful, but some training might be beneficial. The location, overlooking the small bay, was exceptional with courteous staff. The dining was a big hit, especially the variety offered. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.

Staying at this hotel was truly worth it. The rooms are plain but decent in size, offering easy beach access, especially if you opt for one with a balcony overlooking the beautiful cove. They are ideal for families. The service was welcoming and helpful, although some potential in showcasing the restaurant to visitors was missed. The location is a prime spot right on the beach with stunning views across the cove. The dining options cater to a wide variety of tastes, with excellent choices available. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The room with a sea view on a high level for 150 Euros for two nights was stunning, and I can confidently say it's one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The room was spacious, with a nice bathroom featuring a window and a bath with a shower over it. The service was lovely, ranging from very helpful to borderline aggressive at times, but overall, the staff was very friendly and efficient. The location is absolutely beautiful, overlooking the bay from prime rooms, and the proximity to the small beach of Tamariu with direct access was incredible. The dining experience, especially during the buffet breakfast served by JESUS, was excellent with a fantastic view over the bay. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were functional and cozy, they were quite noisy due to being located under the bar, with constant movements and footsteps overhead. On the bright side, the room was spacious and even had a small balcony to enjoy. The service was top-notch with a very friendly and attentive staff, especially at reception. However, it seemed like they might be overworked and underpaid. The location was stunning, perfect for exploring with great views over the bay, but could get overcrowded with beachgoers in high season. As for the dining experience, the food was excellent with plenty of variety, although the description was a bit confusing. Overall, the hotel had great facilities and offered good value for the money.
