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 amabilidad del personal la verdad muy muy buena atención y que te dejen pasar todo el día el hotel y mantener la plaza de parquing es ganar un día más
No, for the quality and price you can't ask for more: the cleanliness is incredible, the service is excellent and they always try to help you.
Only that one lift worked most of the time and the second sometimes; one was broken, but honestly it wasn't a big problem either.
No, por la calidad y precio no se puede pedir más la limpieza es increíble, la atención es excelente y siempre buscan como ayudarte
Solo que el ascensor funcionaba uno mayormente y el segundo a veces, había uno roto pero la verdad no fue un gran problema tampoco

Superb
El trato del personal es excelente, siempre con una sonrisa y con ganas de ayudar. Se agradece mucho.
To improve:
- Gluten: We travelled with someone who has an intolerance and there isn't a clear policy. Some waiters were very professional and brought food directly from the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination, but others simply pointed out which buffet dishes didn’t contain gluten and told us to serve ourselves. It’s risky and makes you feel uneasy.
- Rooms: They need updating. The furniture and bathroom are a bit outdated.
- Entertainment: Needs much improvement. There is hardly any programme for children, so it feels lacking if you go as a family.
- Lifts: Throughout our whole stay (4 days) there was always at least one out of service.
Overall, acceptable thanks to the friendliness of the team, but the facilities and organisation need work.
A mejorar:
- Gluten: Viajamos con intolerancia y no hay un criterio claro. Algunos camareros muy profesionales nos sacaban la comida de cocina para evitar contaminación cruzada, otros simplemente nos indicaban qué platos del buffet no llevaban gluten y que nos sirviéramos. Es arriesgado y genera inseguridad.
- Habitaciones: Necesitan una actualización. Mobiliario y baño un poco anticuados.
- Animación: Muy mejorable. Apenas hay programación para niños, se hace corto si vas en familia.
- Ascensores: Durante toda nuestra estancia (4 días) siempre hubo al menos uno fuera de servicio.
En general, correcto por la amabilidad del equipo, pero necesita mejoras en instalaciones y organización.

Muy buena comida, variedad y calidad. Cerca de la playa.
It's a very basic hotel and needs renovation. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything, and the bathrooms are a bit old.

La piscina tiene muy buena ubicación y le da el sol. las tumbonas aunque no son muchas siempre encuentras alguno la ubicación para llegar y dónde está la zona de Comercio está súper bien
To improve the rooms, they really need a lot of painting and to get rid of the damp, because I spent five days with a sore throat from the humidity caused by the air conditioning, and the mould as well. It would also be good if they made it clear that this is a halal hotel, as they don’t serve pork or alcohol.
Para mejorar las habitaciones les falta bastante de pintura y eliminar humedades, porque he pasado cinco días con dolor de garganta por la humedad que producía el aire acondicionado y el moho también estaría bien que dijeran que es un Hotel halal, que no ponen ni cerdo ni sirven alcohol

El hotel se encuentra a un paseo de la playa y tiene muchas tiendas, heladerías y restaurantes cerca.
There is no evening entertainment, even though they have the facilities for it. As for daytime activities, they are very focused on children and there is nothing for adults.
The reception staff hardly give any information and are quite unfriendly.
The mattresses and pillows need updating.
Sleeping and nap times should be respected more, as you can hear everything.
As for the food, it gets very repetitive (and not very healthy) if you stay more than three nights there.
No hay animación nocturna, a pesar de contar con las instalaciones. En cuanto a la diurna, muy orientada a los niños y nada para adultos.
Las chicas de recepción apenas dan información y son bastante "secas".
Los colchones y almohadas necesitan una puesta al día.
Las horas de sueño y siesta deberían respetarse más puesto que se oye todo.
En cuanto a la comida, resulta muy repetitiva (y poco saludable) si pasas más de tres noches allí.

La verdad que calidad precio está muy bien a mi me gustó no es el hotel más lujoso pero por el precio y por la zona donde está es perfecto mi habitación siempre olía rico la limpieza de 10 no se las personas que valoran el hotel tan mal a ver por el precio que se paga no esperas una villa de lujo pero está muy bien

Si lo que quieres es tranquilidad, no es tu sitio.
La comida aún evitando el cerdo está bien.
El que no tengan ningún tipo de alcohol,e parece correcto.
En calidad precio es aceptable.
Dicho esto:
Mucho ruido y el 90% magrebíes y alemanes, con tapones arreglado, así lo he hecho.
TO THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT:
Avoid playing with balls in the pool, as well as avoiding jumping and doing tricks — it's as simple as making an effort to stop it, but YOU DON’T DO IT.
TO THE LIFEGUARD:
In case of an accident, tell her that she is responsible as the person in charge of the pool. Encouraging and tolerating those jumps does not help her at all.
TO BUSCO UN CHOLLO:
You don’t specify the type of room, which makes it impossible to make a complaint, so you put your own benefit before the comfort of the customer, and I DID NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.
Being given a room for three, making the space smaller, and not being able to say anything, plus not having a fridge when other rooms have one.
There are two types of double room.
August and no fridge — really lets you enjoy the heat to the fullest.
It’s a just-about-acceptable three-star hotel for €138 per day Full Board.
A LA DIRECCION DEL HOTEL:
Evitar jugar con balones en la piscina, así como evitar saltar haciendo filigranas, es tan sencillo como poner interés en acabar con ello, NO LO HACEIS.
A L@ SOCORRISTA:
En el caso de accidente, decirla que la responsable es ella como responsable, de la piscina, jugar y jalerar esos saltos no la favorece, en nada.
A BUSCO UN CHOLLO:
No especificáis, el tipo de habitación lo que hace imposible una reclamación, por lo que anteponeis, vuestro beneficio a la comodidad del cliente, esto no me ha gustado NADA.
Que te entregen una habitación para tres, disminuyendo el habitáculo y no poder decir nada, que no tenga frigo cuando otras lo tienen.
Hay dos tipos de habitación doble
Agosto y sin un frigo, es disfrutar del calor en plenitud.
Es un *** justo por 138€ diarios P.C. es aceptable.

One thing that could be improved: the bathroom tap didn’t shut off properly and water was also leaking from the mixer.
Algo que podría mejorar el grifo del cuarto de baño no cerraba bien también se escapa el agua por el bater.

La atención del personal, y el personal de mantenimiento, se rompió un accesorio del baño y en menos de una hora esta reemplazado.
It should be mentioned that the hotel is geared towards the Muslim religion; they don't serve alcoholic drinks or pork.
The hotel must have been nice in its day, but now it's very old and could really use a renovation.
The food wasn't bad, because it really wasn't, but there wasn't much variety. And none of it was European or Mediterranean food, it was all Halal food.
Se debería mencionar que el hotel esta orientado en la Religión Musulmana, no sirven bebidas alcohólicas, ni cerdo.
El hotel en su día tuvo que estar bien, ahora esta muy viejo, una reforma no le vendría nada mal.
La comida sin ser mala, porque mala no estaba, tenían poca variedad. Toda vez que no que era comida Europea ni mediterránea, era comida Halal.

La ubicación del hotel es muy buena, aparcamiento gratuito en toda la zona de alrededor. Personal en general muy agradable, en especial las chicas de la limpieza, chicos de mantenimiento y recepción. Es un hotel halal.
It’s an accommodation that urgently needs a complete renovation inside. It’s true that the pool area and the communal spaces are quite nice, but the rooms leave a lot to be desired. There’s a lot of damp on the walls (I’m attaching a photo) and there’s a bad musty smell. The beds are very uncomfortable (we found hairs between the sheets) and the furniture in general needs replacing. We had to ask to change rooms because of the unbearable smell, and they made us wait almost three hours. The buffet food is very repetitive.
Es un alojamiento que necesita para ya una renovación completa por dentro, es cierto que la zona de las piscinas y zonas comunes están bastante bien, pero las habitaciones dejan muuuucho que desear, hay muchísima humedad en las paredes (adjunto foto) y mal olor además de humedad a cerrado, camas muy incómodas (encontramos pelos entre las sábanas) y mobiliario en general necesita renovación. Tuvimos que pedir cambio de habitación por el olor insoportable y para ello nos tuvieron esperando casi 3 horas. En el buffet se repiten mucho las comidas.

Disappointing
El hotel se encontraba cerca de la playa y hay un parking gratuito cerca, a dos minutos andando.
At night there was a lot of noise at the hotel; a group of young people were shouting and the hotel staff did nothing.
As for the food, it was rather meagre — we ordered a picnic because we had an excursion and were given a simple sandwich, which was far too little.
Regarding cleanliness, the bathroom towels were not changed for the whole week. The hotel looks quite old. These aspects should be improved.
En el hotel a las noches se escuchaban muchos ruidos, había un grupo de jóvenes gritando a las noches y el personal del hotel no hizo nada.
En cuanto a las comidas, es un poco escaso, pedimos un picnic poraue teníamos una excursión y nos dieron un simple sándwich, super escaso.
En cuanto a limpieza, no cambiaron las toallas del baño en toda la semana. El hotel se ve bastante antiguo. A mejorar esos aspectos.

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 ...
