Apartaments Els Llorers 

My cousin and I take at least one mini break a year but normally city breaks, so this was a bit different and it really didn’t disappoint given the prices we paid via Wowcher Holidays. Had no expectations so we were both very pleasantly surprised with the experience . We flew into Girona and hired a car which took about 50 minutes to drive. We arrived to a lovely welcome from Fran who gave us the great news that we had been upgraded to a sea view room on the 4th floor of the main building. The apartment was perfectly equipped for a 3 night stay, not sure if we’d have managed so well if we were planning to cook in there however. But, perfectly clean, comfy bed, shower gel and shampoo a nice touch but the best by far was the amazing view and sitting on the balcony watching the sun go down. The hotel was very quiet leading up to winter closure so not too many noisy guests or children and the 10pm to 10am silence curfew was well respected. Not a lot open in the resort but we found a few places for food and drink and ate in once, my cousins meal was great, mine not so much but other snacks and things we had were fine. Reduced menu, ie there was lots not available given they are obviously running down supplies. The pool area was well maintained and the kiddies facilities brilliant and they were all having a great time. We found the staff in general were very friendly and approachable except for one receptionist who was not remotely interested in our enquiries and not helpful in any way at all. Having worked in hospitality myself in the past and being in a forward fronted job, you have to be the sort of person who likes to go above and beyond for guests who are spending their hard earned money on a holiday, especially for those with young families. Very attractive girl, unattractive attitude! All in all a really pleasant stay in a great value, unpretentious, well run family business. Not sure I’d want to visit in the height of summer though!
