Nice modern hotel with a large garden and swimming pool. Staff are particularly helpful and friendly. Breakfast is very good. The dinner served in the restaurant is also excellent. The smaller rooms facing away from the sea are a little depressing, best to spend the extra for a sea view and balcony. The hotel is about 5-10 minutes walk from the sea & bar/restaurants up a moderate hill.

Great hotel in a great location
We had a fantastic time here. The hotel has beautiful grounds and gardens with a huge swimming pool for the size of the hotel. There is a private gate to access the street down to the seafront which is less than three minutes away. The rooms are large, comfy and kept scrupulously clean. The bathrooms are glass fronted, which may be off-putting to some. Breakfast is excellent and varied. We ate once in the restaurant and were impressed. All in all, for a higher-end break, it is highly recommended. The local area is popular with domestic tourists (I think half of Barcelona has a villa here) and is bustling at weekends. The beaches are clean and have lifeguards. The town ones can be busy, but you can walk to deserted coves with turquoise sea easily. There are many good restaurants, a la carte prices are similar to higher-end UK restaurants, but you can get set menus for €20-30. The seafood is excellent quality. Local public transport isn't the best, we hired a car from Girona airport, which I'd recommend as you can get out to many of the historic sights and towns in the area easily. Begur, Palafrugell, Palamos etc. Girona itself is an easy 40 minute drive away, and highly recommended.

Barry, Frinton on Sea

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Sadly disappointed
The hotels situation is good, a few minutes walk to the sea front. The grounds and communal areas are pleasant. Breakfast is good and frequently replenished, although it is definitely self~service. However we paid a supplement for a side sea view and superior room and must have been allocated the worst room in the hotel and despite the fact that we emailed in advance requesting a good view we overlooked a dirty flaking wall shielding more than half the view Our room and particularly the bathroom bore no resemblance to those shown in the photos. We had to climb into the bath (with shower curtain) to use the an old shower rose. The hotel has chosen to refurbish the standard rooms first but continue to charge extra for a very old and shabby bedroom,bathroom and balcony. Despite asking to change rooms we were only offered one alternative the bathroom and view of which were worse than our allocated room. People were coming and going on a daily basis so we could have been moved. The hotel room spoiled our holiday and was not a true reflection of that advertised and totally overpriced.

Wonderful hotel a few minutes walk to the beach and town. Staff are extremely attentive. Our room was comfortable and on the far end away from the town's bell tower. Other family members were on the other end closer to the bell tower and had trouble sleeping because of the bell tower chiming every 15 minutes. The outdoor pool was surprisingly big. We would definitely stay here again.

Calella de Parafrugell - A gem at the Costa Brava
The small coastal town Calella de Parafrugell is a gem. It has preserved its charm as a little ancient fisher village in a beautiful spot at the Costa Brava. Hotel Alga is not directly located at the coast, but just a few min walk away. Some of the rooms offer a great view over the village to the sea / ocean. In general, the setup and interior of the hotel is very nice and comfortable. However, our check-in experience could have been more pleasant.

Great Stay, hard to find the place
Everything was lovely. Service was impeccable and friendly. Room was beautiful and well laid out. Only concern was driving directions were virtually non existent. Address was impossible to put into gps without going around in circles. Wasted over two hours just trying to find the place. Address MUST be shown on web sites, including suburbs name and exactly how to enter address into gps. We finally ran into a kind, English speaking gentleman who literally led us to the hotel which was over ten miles from where we met him. Calling the hotel, which we did, received a very kind but unhelpful response, since they said that the address had changed recently.
