RVHotels Golf Costa Brava

After reading some mixed reviews, I was admittedly quite apprehensive about our stay at RV Hotel Golf Costa Brava — but I needn’t have been! We stayed for two nights and had three full days to enjoy everything the hotel had to offer, and we were pleasantly surprised throughout. Reception: From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They spoke fluent English, which made everything much easier, and nothing was too much trouble — from providing recommendations to booking taxis. They really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Restaurant: Breakfast offered an excellent continental spread with a huge variety of pastries, fresh breads, fruits, yoghurts, jams, cheeses, cold meats, and more — everything you could want to start the day. While the hot breakfast options were more limited (as is typical in Europe), the quality was great and everything was hot and fresh. Dinner is served buffet-style at €20 per person, with one bottle of still water included per table (additional drinks are extra). The selection was fantastic — fresh meats, fish, vegetarian options, pasta, pizza, chips, and a huge salad bar. The dessert selection was impressive, especially the fun addition of an “ice cream factory” that both kids and adults will love. Bar: The bar was very reasonably priced and well-stocked. The staff were incredibly accommodating — always happy to provide extra cups of ice to help keep drinks cool around the pool. Fede (the manager) and Dani both stood out for their exceptional customer service and warm, friendly demeanour. They also make a mean cocktail! There’s also an à la carte food menu available from the bar with a great selection of snacks and meals. Everything we tried was served quickly, tasted delicious, and again — very affordable. Pool Area: The pool area is beautifully maintained with lush lawns, well-kept patios, and gorgeous mountain views. The pool itself was the perfect temperature, and the poolside showers were great for a quick refresh. The only improvement we’d suggest is the addition of more parasols — the area is a bit of a sun trap, and some shade would make it even better. Rooms: We were slightly disappointed with our room. Despite mentioning it was our anniversary, we were given a room overlooking the car park with no outdoor space and two single beds that didn’t push together properly. The room was definitely on the dated side and basic in appearance, but it was clean, spacious, and functional. It had great air con, plenty of storage, a fridge, a seating area, and a large bathroom — so it ticked all the important boxes. Location: The hotel is set in a beautiful location surrounded by mountain views and the golf course. If you have a car, it’s easy to explore the surrounding towns and cities. However, if you’re relying on public transport, be prepared for a lot of walking or fairly steep taxi fares, as the area is quite remote. Overall: Despite a few small drawbacks, we had
