Van der Valk Hotels in Costa Brava from NZ$127

"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."

"amazing location and price for quality"

"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."

"Very good "

"Beautiful hotel with an amazing breakfast service, in the heart of town so everything is within walking distance, a truly great experience"

"Beautiful morning rising. Awesome beach and close to lots of restaurants and shops. Borgas in the front guest help with everything we needed. Thanks"

"This hotel was very relaxing and comfortable to stay at. We loved the friendly and welcoming staff, the clean and upscale room quality and the gorgeous hotel grounds, including the pool, spa and beach areas. We would love to stay here again. "

"This hotel is very interesting. The evening entertainment was superb -- Las Vegas quality without crowds. The public areas are decorated with art and antiques you would see at a large show and you can spend hours just touring the many large public areas and getting a good look at the collections."

"Firstly, the hotel had a Good location, friendly staff and good food. Disappointing that the snack bar was closed during our stay and all inclusive drinks was limited and only until 10:30, hot drinks were also limited to morning times. Entertainment was lacklustre and mainly for an older audience. The hotel rooms were basic but were cleaned daily. Overall an ok stay, but you could get better for the price."
