Independent in Costa Brava from NZ$125

"This beachfront hotel was our stop after a long, hilly bike ride from Palafrugell. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable for two tired cycle tourists. Note, they are pretty much the only restaurant open in the area during November for dinner. Much to our surprise. The buffet on offer was good with lots of variety to choose from. The same goes for breakfast buffet, which was delicious fuel for our ride to Barcelona. Kudos to the two waitstaff who were working hard keeping up with the many people dinning there. The other note, there is room in the little luggage storage for bikes, but you have to carry your bikes up the outdoor stairs to the lobby."

"Great hotel and room with an awesome location. Was very happy with the check in, staff and room amenities. "

"Had a wonderful stay at FERGUS Pineda Splash! The front desk staff were super friendly, and check-in/check-out was quick and easy. The room was spotless and comfortable, and the buffet breakfast and dinner were delicious with plenty of options for everyone. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!"

"Food, especially diner was very good. Lots of facilities, lively town, wish I could have stayed longer."

"Beautiful location. Ocean area around hotel is indescribably beautiful. "

"Everything about our stay here was perfect. The room was clean, the shower was massive, the staff were friendly, and the spa was incredible. My husband got a massage and I got a facial, and they were both heavenly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. "

"Clean room, friendly staff. Close to th sea."

"Reception staff were welcoming, profession and kindly indulged the English in practicing their Spanish language skills. Clean fresh room with nice sea view. Limited pre-booked parking is available but expensive - free parking is available 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel, but one would imagine that in the summer it would be very difficult."

"The hotel is stunning — spacious, modern rooms, great bars and restaurants, and a fantastic pool area. However, there are a few drawbacks: there’s no beach access (areal photos are misleading), and frequent corporate events with loud music often go on until midnight, which can spoil the atmosphere. The breakfast buffet is extensive, but the quality doesn’t fully match a true 5-star standard. Overall, an impressive place, just not ideal if you’re after quiet relaxation."
