El Baix Emporda Apartments

An excellent stay at this wonderfull ressort, both courses were in perfect conditions, and of the best design. Having one course that is a true links and one in a real forest without the need to take your car (in a covered parking lot) is a real treat ! The hotel offerts nice large rooms, with views. However one drawback, when we were there, is that the restaurant was outside for diner and no bar was offered to enjoy the nicely decorated common spaces. Diners were very well prepared, however the choices are a little restricted.... Other golfs are quite easy to reach, by car...

The hotel is gorgeous in a magic location. We have been coming here for the last 7 years, every year, always staying in one of their apartments. The apartments are beautiful, comfortable, clean and with a great view. Just in front of the beach. The location is perfect! The services of the hotel are excellent, the food as well, the swimming pool so nice. The reception is super kind and open minded - they always find the way to satisfy you. The town is magic and offers all the necessary. Will always come back!

We have just returned from a one week stay in one of the suites with private pool and very much enjoyed the whole experience. Platja d'Aro is a lovely town with beautiful beaches, only 3 minutes away from the hotel located in a quiet and peaceful area. Overall our stay was lovely and peaceful, very restful and as it was early in the season, the town and the beach areas were quieter. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful and efficient. We had breakfast each day, lunch on one occasion and dinner in the restaurant a couple of times and enjoyed every experience, the mussels were a particular hit! The terraces and pool area is great, no doubt entertaining for the children, but peaceful enough for the adults to chill and the pine trees made for a lovely setting. Our suite was very nice, such a clever use of space with the various zones. The bed was comfy and although there was a lounge and TV we never used it, choosing to sit outside by our own little pool which was so enjoyable to have. We would be happy to stay agin and to recommend.

We spent a weekend at Aiguablava Parador in Begur. We were a party of four people. The good points were the location, the rooms (comfortable beds, fabulous sea view, spacious rooms, nice amenities) the hotel is very spacious and tastefully decorated. The swimming pool, at the top end of the cliff, although not massive, is large enough and with fantastic views of the area. A very privileged position with views of Aiguablava cove and a private path down to the cove. Breakfast was varied and good quality in general and served in the breakfast room with gorgeous views. Freshly squeezed fruit juice and good quality coffee. The negatives were the check in experience, too long and with an inexperienced receptionist who lacked aptitude in the treatment of experienced travelers/customers and couldn’t get my name right. There was a general lack of coordination between departments (reception and restaurant) our evening meal reservation was not communicated to the restaurant either of the two days and my name was wrong in all departments from beginning to end even though the receptionist had access to my ID card and the online booking form. The evening meals were sub standard. Generally unpleasant food, tasteless fish and a dirty lukewarm brown sauce, packet custard-based deserts. Brick sized chunks of melon as fruit salad. Some dishes were inedible. A very limited wine list and very expensive wines. The service in the restaurant varied from pleasant to inappropriate with some comments from waiting staff demonstrating their inexperience and unsuitability to work in a hotel of this category, even though they were pleasant and kind at all times. On a final note, I requested by telephone if it would be possible to have some candles on a desert on our final evening as we were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. The receptionist said it would be no problem but it was not communicated to the restaurant and forgotten. As there had been so many hiccups with communication in general I didn’t bother to even try to remind them.
