Fantastic experience:
Our place to stay every August for 15 years. Vintage charm of the 60s ...... We were able to follow the evolution of the place with a development of the adjoining structures. Family atmosphere, small, simple hotel for those who appreciate calm and get away from overly sophisticated places.

Fantastic experience:
I had a short but great time with my two children. A wonderful hotel in the best beach location. Not modern, a bit old, but it is precisely this authenticity that I fell in love with, with the beautiful green gardens and very warm people. I very much hope Sarah keeps it that way. :-) I'll be back for sure!

A wonderful hotel for its management and its location, with direct access to the beach and close to places of interest. An extensive breakfast overlooking the garden and excellent with natural gluten-free products. We were surprised by the king-size bed, super comfortable and spacious that gave us a good rest without any noise at night. We will repeat for sure.

In addition, in the musical nights that are organized, the director collaborates with her extraordinary voice and sympathy.

Fantastic experience:
Family hotel in front of the sea, in Sant Martí d'Empuries, excellent treatment, delicious fish and seafood food for hotel guests and fabulous breakfast on the terrace, the hotel needs improvements in terms of decoration and maintenance, if so out of 10, it is outdated, still has charm, the treatment and kindness were very good, it is lovely to go every year and find the same people, the rooms are large and have air conditioning, parking is free and you do not need to take the car for anything, rest and relax in front of the sea, I have to say that every time I come it is like taking a trip to the past. And I have felt very well for the energy of the place, a bit wild, without mass, the beach riuet, the town of Sant Martí, and hotel staff. We repeat every year. It is my favorite place on the Costa Brava.

Family hotel in a privileged setting.
Translated from Italiano
Fantastic experience: Rather afraid to post how good this place is in case it becomes too popular and loses it's charm. The whole place is very dated and well worn, but only so far as to be genuinely shabby chic bordering on tacky. I arrived on my motorcycle riding solo and chose this late in the day based on the google review from an earlier guest. I had planned to stop overnight on my annual tour but ended up staying a week. Pre season (June) and rather quiet I was treated like a prince, a nudist beach on your doorstep and very clean, a well maintained pool, Aircon, good wifi and excellent food and a decent wine list. I have stayed in the very best hotels and I found the food to be freshly cooked to order with a variety of choices, dining room decor is nothing to write home about but perfectly clean and decent. Staff went out of thier way to make me feel special. The only criticism is that the bedding is very 70's, but it didn't prevent me from really enjoying my stay.
Fantastic experience: Stayed there for 4 nights last summer bit of a culture shock at first but then realised how lay back it was me and my son going back for two weeks this year quite , lay back , and enjoy Surpurb staff can't wait driving from uk
