Why this destination is a must-visit

Blanes: the must-sees you simply can’t miss
Blanes is the true gateway to the Costa Brava. Here are five highlights that capture its essence:
-
Marimurtra: the Mediterranean’s finest balcony. This is one of Europe’s most spectacular botanical gardens. Don’t miss: a photo at the Linnaeus Temple, where the cliffside views create the area’s most iconic postcard scene.
-
Sa Palomera and the start of the Costa Brava: this striking rock divides the bay and marks kilometre zero of the Costa Brava. It also takes centre stage during the famous July Fireworks Competition, one of the most prestigious in the world.
-
Castle of San Juan: views that go on forever. Climb to the top of the hill and take in the full sweep of the coastline. On clear days, you can even spot the outline of Barcelona.
-
Roberto Bolaño Route: for lovers of culture, Blanes was the retreat of the celebrated Chilean writer. Walk through the very places where he shaped his masterpieces and soak up the inspiration of the town.
-
Fishing port and fish market: Blanes still holds on to its seafaring soul. The perfect plan: head to the port at sunset, watch the boats return surrounded by seagulls, and experience the fish auction, one of the most authentic in Catalonia.

La ubicación estabien, muy cerca de la playa. La piscina está bien , aunque estaba llena de niños , colegio enteros ...
It’s all very old, and it’s true that for what it cost, the quality/price is passable. It’s also worth noting that the hotel is for Muslims, so there is no pork in the food, and you can’t have a beer...
Está todo muy viejo , si que es verdad que para lo que ha costado, calidad/precio está pasable , también a recalcar que el hotel es de musulmanes y ni hay comida de cerdo , ni te puedes tomar una cerveza ...

Por empezar es la primera vez que me encuentro un hotel en Cataluña y España que no sirven en ninguna parte del establecimiento bebidas alcohólicas......la manutención del hotel está bajo mínimos...en el comedor no hay plancha y agarrate a lo que hay..variación muy muy mínima...por la mañana le llaman cruasán a algo de goma...la picina sucia.las ama as de diversidad y muchas rotas...en fin me falta el acjevito ideal (aún no ha salido) para calificarlo....una noche y nunca más.....fatal...y eso que miro de adaptarme pero por ese precio...he estado en otros que le dan mil vueltas.....y por busco un chollo, claro......un hotel que tenía que ser muy bueno en sus inicios hoy por hoy ni una estrella (,el día que sepa como los clasifican por estrellas...)......

Lo mejor del hotel es su ubicación. La piscina está bien y la piscina interior menos.
This hotel is dedicated mainly on weekends and weekends to children's soccer teams, and can accommodate about 100 children of 8/9 years old who sleep alone 3 by 3, scream, call on the phone in the room, hit the doors .... You comment it at reception and the answer is: It is what it is. I thought it was bad luck because of the weekend but I was informed by neighbors in the area that no, they are always there.
The buffet is very basic and no matter if it is lunch or dinner, there is little variety.
Éste hotel se dedica sobre todo en puentes y fines de semana a equipos de niños de fútbol, pudiendo acoger unos 100 niños de 8/9 años los cuales duermen sólos de 3 en 3, gritan, llaman por el teléfono de la habitación, pegan golpes en las puertas... Lo comentas en recepción y la respuesta es: Es lo que hay. Pensé que había sido mala suerte por el fin de semana pero me informaron vecinos de la zona que no, que suelen haber siempre.
El buffet muy básico y da igual que sea comida o cena, poca variedad.

Nos ha gustado la ubicación que aún no estar en primera linea está en muy buen sitio , las comidas están bien tenía poca variedad pero lo que había estaba bueno las piscinas esterio es esta bien la pena que no hemos podido aprovechar ya que el tiempo no acompañaba pero teníamos la interior y la verdad que se estaba bien.
Reforms should be made to the hotel, both exterior and interior.
Se tendría que hacer unas reformas al hotel tanto Esterio como interior .

Me he sentido muy a gusto y satisfecha con mi estancia en el Hotel Esplendid. El personal del hotel ha sido muy atento y amable, lo que ha hecho que me sintiera como en casa. El buffet ha estado bien, con variedad de opciones y una calidad que se ajusta perfectamente al precio.
La piscina al aire libre es preciosa, con muchas tumbonas, sombrillas para disfrutar del sol y relajarse. Además, el hotel cuenta con una piscina interior para aquellos días en los que el clima no acompaña. Con variedad de instalaciones, como pista de tenis, fútbol, gimnasio y discoteca, lo que hace que haya algo para todos los gustos.
La habitación, aunque un poco antigua, estaba muy limpia y bien cuidada, lo que ha sido fundamental para mi comodidad durante la estancia. En general, estoy muy contenta con mi experiencia en el Hotel Esplendid y lo recomendaría sin duda."

La zona de piscina y la proximidad a la playa es lo mejor, aunque no está en primera línea de mar, está relativame te cerca. Tiene gimnasio y piscina interior, que aunque es de agua fría, permite bañarte más tranquilo porque nunca hay nadie. En la piscina exterior hay tumbonas libres siempre.
It is a hotel that has become outdated, although it should have been very good at some point. The whole place is quite old and neglected, although clean. The buffet doesn't have a lot of food variety but it's good. When it comes to desserts, once they run out, they are not replenished so you have to take whatever you want and keep it on the table. It is a very simple and basic hotel in every way.
Es un hotel que ha quedado desfasado, aunque en su momento debería ser muy bueno. Todo el recinto está bastante antiguo y bastante dejado, aunque limpio. El bufet no tiene mucha variedad de comida pero está buena. La parte de los postres, cuando se acaban no los reponen por lo que hay que coger lo que quieras y guardarlo en la mesa. Es un hotel muy muy sencillo y justito en todo.
