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.
Costa Brava is one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful stretches of coastline. Located in the province of Girona, it combines turquoise coves, sandy beaches, picturesque fishing villages and charming medieval towns. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with the family, it’s a fantastic destination for mixing beach days, nature, culture and great food.

- Tossa de Mar, Begur and Calella de Palafrugell: three Costa Brava classics where historic streets, fishing-village charm and beautiful Mediterranean scenery come together.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Aiguablava, Begur: a beautiful cove surrounded by hills and turquoise waters.
- Sa Tuna, Begur: small, picturesque and lined with traditional fishermen’s houses.
- Port Bo, Calella de Palafrugell: a charming beach right in the heart of this traditional seaside village.
- Sa Boadella, Lloret de Mar: surrounded by cliffs and vegetation, perfect if you prefer a more natural setting.
Family-friendly activities:
- Walk a section of the Camí de Ronda and enjoy fantastic views of coves, cliffs and the Mediterranean.
- Explore Empuriabrava’s canals by boat for a different perspective of this unique coastal town.
- Go snorkelling or discover the marine environment around the Medes Islands, just off L’Estartit.

- Palamós prawns: one of the Costa Brava’s best-known local products.
- Fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes: Mediterranean classics you’ll find throughout the coastal towns.

Make the most of your visit and go to...

Lo mejor y único la comida y la piscina
Ese hotel necesita un buen repaso a nivel mantenimiento. Habitaciones con algún desperfecto como falta de adoquines y alguna manchita de humedad. La bañera falta de una abrazadera para entrar y salir, la bañera el suelo resbala muchísimo.
Y algo que me pareció muy desagradable es que el personal del comedor se ponga a limpiar muebles durante el servicio de comidas.
Y por el último la piscina climatizada hacia un olor muy desagradable

Todo esta bastante limpio, las habitaciones limpias sin pelos ni nada del estilo. Las zonas comunes como comedor, piscina etc estan bastante bien
I arrived in the early hours, around 1-2am, and according to the hotel policy if you arrive late and miss dinner (I had Half Board) they give you a cold meal. I wasn’t given anything.
You have to leave a €5 cash deposit for the TV remote. There was a hole in the floor of the room and a cricket inside it. The hotel’s walls are awful — you can HEAR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING from the neighbouring rooms, even if you’re just talking normally.
In short, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for a proper holiday, but it’s okay if you just need a place to stay for a night or two.
Llegue por la madrugada sobre la 1-2 de la mañana y en teoria segun el hotel si llegas tarde y te saltas la cena (tenia media pensión) te dan una cena fría. No me dieron nada.
Por el mando de la TV tienes que dejar un deposito de 5€ EN EFECTIVO. En la habitación había un agujero en el suelo y dentro habia un grillo. Las paredes del hotel es de lo peor, SE ESCUCHA ABSOLUTAMENTE TODO LO DE LAS HABITACIONES DE AL LADO, INCLUSO SI ESTAS HABLANDO NORMAL.
En fin, es un hotel que no te recomiendo que cojas si quieres pasar unas vacaciones pero si que esta bien para salir del paso si te quieres alojar 1 o 2 dias

La ubicación es lo único que puedo decir bueno de esta estancia
The bathtub was filthy, you could hear everything that happened both outside and in the neighbouring rooms, the worst buffet I’ve ever been to in my life — I went in and out, terrible quality, nothing was labelled, bad smell and dirty. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
La bañera súper sucia, habitación se escuchaba todo lo que pasaba tanto fuera como en las habitaciones de al lado, el peor buffer que he estado en mi vida, entré y salí, calidad malísima, no ponía lo que era cada cosa, mal olor y sucio. El peor hotel que he estado en mi vida.

Disappointing
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.

La ubicación es muy buena y la playa está a escasos 200metros.
El personal del hotel,menos la encargada, fue muy amable en todo momento.
There was a chewing gum stuck to the floor in the room. We called reception several times and they said the cleaning team had returned to the room. We left the hotel and the gum was still there.
The wardrobes were broken and smelled bad; you couldn’t leave your belongings in them, although the hotel staff were very kind at all times except for the manager, who besides being nasty was arrogantly overbearing.
En la habitación había un chicle pegado en el suelo,llamamos varias veces a recepción y según ellos, el equipo de limpieza volvió a la habitación.Nos fuimos del hotel y el chicle seguía allí.
Los armarios estaban rotos y olían mal,no podías dejar tus pertenencias aunque el personal del hotel fue muy amable en todo momento salvo la encargada que además de una déspota era una prepotente.

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.

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.

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.
