Very Good Value For Money Lloret De Mar

Advantages: Big pool,Good Drink,nice hotel,pleasant staff,excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Awful Food

...We stayed here for 6 nights in Febuary of this year (2008) and found it to be very good value for money, and the weather was surprisingly good which was an added bonus. It was a last minute cheap gettaway I had already booked the flights with Ryanair and not decided where we were going to stay exactly, and then we decided to try lloret. We chose The Royal Beach because it was very resonably priced (£208 for 6 nights all - inclusive for two people) and it had fairly good reviews. One mistake I did make though was I had booked the hotel and flights seperate and didn't bother with transfers we just got a taxi from Girona airport to resort, this was easy enough to do but cost 50 euros each way. I found out when we got home I could have booked a transfer both ways for about £25 so could have saved quite a bit of money there...

Review of Hotel Top Royal Beach, Lloret de Mar

Lloret de mar

Advantages: Beautiful place, appeals to all ages
Disadvantages: Very few

...Our family visited the resort of Lloret de mar in the Costa Brava a few years ago now and I would totally recomend it to anyone. We visited in the month of May as we like it a little cooler, a little quieter but also still with a variety of things to do. During this month the average temperature is around 70 degrees C but whilst we were there it was a little hotter than this. Getting there: We flew from East Midlands airport to the main airport of Costa Brava which is Gerona. Most airports fly here so it shouldn't be a problem getting here from other parts of the country. The flying time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes and once landing there the transfere to Lloret de mar takes about 45 minutes. I think this is ideal if you are travelling as a family as we did as you can be in resort pretty quickly Accomodation: We...

Bolero Apartments, Lloret de Mar.

Advantages: Cheap, great for young people and famies
Disadvantages: Access problems

...supermarket attached to the apartments. The only thing which we had a slight problem with was the huge hill the apartments are situated on. To get to the resort centre and Lloret beach, you have to walk down the hill, although it\'s not too far, it is a killer to get back up! For the less mobile and disabled, this could be a problem. There is the smaller Fenals beach nearby but this involves a large number of steps to go down to so is not really practical either. The only reason I have rated these apartments as satisfactory is because of the access issues some people may have, apart from that, they make a great base for families and young people and are inexpensive. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely go back!...

Review of Bolero Park Apartments Lloret de Mar, Costa Brava

Caribe Hotel - Lloret - cheap but cheerful

Advantages: Cheap, friendy staff, well located
Disadvantages: Bit noisy, bathroom bit cramped

...the old town at night to enjoy more traditional restaurants and bars and avoid the ticket touts. Man they're like vermin! After being stopped 3 times in the space of 30 seconds we devised a route through the back streets just so we could get to a late night supermarket on that side! The old town of Lloret is quiet pretty though, with narrow streets and plenty of shops. There are some nice Cliffside walks too. You can have both a romantic holiday or a clubbing holiday in lloret de mar - just try and position your hotel well (north-east/central lloret old town, quiet - south-west/Fennals area (another beach at Fennals) for more larger holiday complex and modern town/clubs at central-west part of town). Hope this helps! Need a new keyboard now :) We went 11-18th June 2006....

Review of Caribe Hotel Lloret de Mar, Costa Brava

Great for having your possessions stolen!

Advantages: Cheap, lovely bar area, and fair amount of choice with food in dining room
Disadvantages: Literally no security, noisey area, and no professionalism used over complaints

...was about the situation! His first day as a guest there too. Found ourselves being blanked by the staff in the dining room on that same day and wouldn't even offer us a drink like they normally do, extremely unprofessional and pathetic. Barely even said goodbye to us when we checked out, its like they were glad to see the back of us. Despite being well mannered and polite to all staff everyday, it seems we were still outcast. Some positives though. Our rooms were fairly nice despite the low price. Good wash rooms with a fair amount of space, always had pure hot water every time. Cleaners did a good job, everything was sparkly when they had completed their duties with our room. Sadly though, I will never come here again, let alone Lloret. I recommend anybody to avoid this hotel like the plague. Either try another two star or go...

Review of Ninays, Lloret de Mar

Coastline Holiday Resort

Advantages: Plenty to see and do. Lots of nighlife. Some good walks. Nice clean beach. Good selection of restaurants.
Disadvantages: Can get a little noisy. Beach can become over-crowded. Too many street sellers that wont take no for an answer.

...Our first family holiday was to Lloret De Mar in May this year. In total six of us went. Myself, my fiance and his four children. The children are aged 18, 17, 12 and 11. You can see that we needed a holiday that could cater for all of us and as we all have different interests we decided when booking the holiday that it should really be a central location, so that there was something for everyone. ***************WHERE IS LLORET***************** Lloret de Mar is situated in Costa Brava. It is a coastline resort and it takes about an hour by coach from Girona airport. We flew from Manchester airport and the flight took two hours. Lloret De Mar is one hour ahead of GMT. *********WHATS ON OFFER IN LLORET********** We found Lloret De Mar to be a busy but pleasant resort. We were lucky though, because we were coming home as...

Review of Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava

Sadly going downhill year after year...

Advantages: Large choice of nightclubs/bars, massive amount of shops, and a nice beach front
Disadvantages: Very pushy sales/marketing, and now popular to 18 - 30s groups

...I've been to Lloret twice in my life. Once back in April 2003 where I had the time of my life and most recently in July 2007, which was the complete opposite for several reasons... The whole place now seems to have been marketed to many 18 - 30s groups who are definitely out for two things only, drinks and sex. Lots of trouble could be seen being caused by them and the police seemed very stressed out over these situations and didn't seem able to cope. For instance this happened in one nightclub called Bumpers in which me and my best friend were having a good time in, lots of decent people there already, friendly staff, nice music and reasonably decent priced drinks. Suddenly when we were on the dance floor, a whole bunch of rowdy 18 - 30s groups just piled in at once and changed the atmosphere to zero. It was very noticeable to see...

Review of Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava

Against my expectations - a great holiday!

Advantages: Great nightlife, many young people from other countries, loved the beach & the sea
Disadvantages: Beach can be overcrowded, obtrusive sales people

...Lloret de Mar is a town with 36.000 inhabitants, located in the region of Catalonia at the Costa Brava, about 80 km away from Barcelona. I just came back from Lloret de Mar last week. I went there with around 20 people from my former class (we just finished school this year) and we really enjoyed our stay a lot. I was surprised to see a lot of families there, as Lloret is known to be a party location for young people all over the world. Hotel We stayed at the Hotel Sunrise, which is located up a hill at the north of Lloret. We had booked all inclusive, which I would definitely recommend to anybody, you get alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for free all day from 11 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock in the evening and you can also get snacks from 12 until 2 o'clock. Without all inclusive your vacation will...

Review of Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava

Tossa de Mar.. Beautiful Area, Cat Litter Beach!

Advantages: Picturesque, Hot!
Disadvantages: Quiet!

...selection of small tasty meals (sandwiches, chip butties etc) for a reasonable price (about 2.50 euros ish). Parking is quite difficult in this resort, so if you?re hiring a car for your holiday you can expect to have to walk a fair distance from your parking spot to where you?re staying generally, especially if you?re looking for free parking. There is a bus station that has buses going to Barcelona (18 euros each, return) and neighbouring Lloret De Mar (like a sunny Blackpool if I?m honest, and plenty of dodgy fake designer stuff which I wouldn?t touch with a bargepole haha). I didn?t take note of any more routes but wherever you go, expect to be going through winding high up roads that can be quite unnerving (especially in the dark) ? if you?re driving it?s definitely safer to be driving slowly and surely so as to be safe on those roads...

Review of Tossa De Mar, Costa Brava

Malgrat De Mar

Advantages: great for walks and very friendly.....
Disadvantages: getting used ot the coastal railway, very close to it...

...I think that Malgrat De Mar is an awesome place, I really missed out last year not going. Me and my family used to go for a month or so in the six weeks holiday and we'd meet up with my aunty who lives in Barcelona and her friends and some of the family would come over too, got a little hectic though as there were 14 people top in one flat, only 3 bedrooms lol. Malgrat is perfectly situated, and its not a far to get to eh train station. From the train station you can travel to the many more places along the coast due to it being a coastal railway. These places include places like Llorett de mar, Blanes, Canet de mar, Pineda, Calella, San Pol de mar, Arenys de mar and Tossa de mar. The beach is good to, its well kept and the sea is almost always nice apart from when the waves come but if you enjoy riding the waves in a blow up...
