Positives: -Great location, close to the best beaches of the Costa Brava. -Staff were helpful and generally friendly organising activities including horse riding for our child. Negatives: -We we’re not advised in advance that our dog was not allowed in any of the restaurants (including the breakfast room). Not even on the restaurant terrace. We paid €60 per night for the dog. This is incredibly disappointing and unlike most 5 star dog friendly hotels around Europe. The only place the dog is welcome across the whole hotel is on a separate terrace. Asking for breakfast on the terrace was incredibly difficult and they were less than pleased- the lady at the restaurant reception was rude about the request. During a rainy day, this creates problems. Best not be a dog “friendly” hotel if in fact it’s basically not. -The garden suite terrace requires ****ing and a proper clean -leaves and paper left on the floor Disappointing that this was not done in advance of our arrival. -The garden suites are noisy. We were woken several times by late arrivals from dinner and cars on the driveway. -On certain days, the noise from the road is evident. -Room service dinner (ordered because of the dog situation), was bland. The pesto pasta could easily pass as store bought. Fries were cold. -Temperature in the gym is a sweltering 26c because of heating.
