The hotel honestly disappointed, we got there according to the fortune system that was invented by Natalie Tours, its meaning boils down to the fact that vacationers are not immediately told in which hotel they will stay, and everything will be known only upon arrival. Of the minuses of the hotel, its appearance is more like a Soviet hostel, except that the pool in the yard, which can be seen from the balcony, softens the picture. The second minus is his contingent - about 2-3 children's football teams lived with us - then imagine for yourself - no one from the vacationers swam in the pool (constant screams, the ball always flying into the hotel, etc. In the room according to an incomprehensible scheme the hair dryer worked, or rather did not work, that is, it was turned on for several minutes 2 times a day, when to choose this particular time, no one answered us so intelligibly. Most importantly, the air conditioner did not work at all!! ! doors, and inserted a card into all the holes, out of hopelessness I wanted to insert it into the maid, but then I remembered that I was from cultural Russia, and everything worked out. The room is so small that the beds, and for some reason there are two, stand right next to the table on which, attention is a country TV, with a diagonal of about 14 cm, which naturally does not have a remote control, and the sound is not added by more than half. The safe in this hotel is paid for 7 nights, we paid 18 euros (nonsense), at dinner all drinks are paid (the prices for them are not weak). For example, beer 2.20 euros, water 1.90 euros, count for yourself. The food itself is C grade, very monotonous, especially breakfast, they never gave the national dish paella. In general, you can tell for a long time, in general, I was more pleased with the country-coast of the Costa Brava, the city of Barcelona is fabulous.

In a clearly double room, there are 3 beds between which you can only go sideways, there is no place even for bedside tables. Tolerantly removed. The linen is clean (and that pleases). And here is the dining room! Tables covered with oilcloths, a meager choice for breakfast and lunch, all products of the third grade, sausage, ham and low quality cheese.

There was nothing to eat with pancakes. And what kind of salads....better keep silent

returned yesterday : ) the hotel fully justifies its 3 stars, and in principle we didn’t have to take all inclusive, so we didn’t load anything at all, not drinks, not wine))) 4 bartenders work in the bar, one in glasses is a very humorous uncle : ) to the sea in in principle, about 10 minutes, but it’s nice to go there, many people walk so you quickly get used to it, all the more you go through the bus station, which by the way is very convenient) we ourselves went to the leopard and to Girona of course after the excursions! ! By the way, we went with Natalie Tours, our guide was Nike, a cool aunt explains everything very clearly and tells everything how and where to get there and how best to know a lot where everything is located and where is the best place to go, ask any questions.

I really liked the hotel, from the outside. . . We lived on the 6th floor, the windows overlooked not the courtyard, but the football field, behind which one could see houses and mountains... beauty.... In the double room we had a large wardrobe with mirrors, 2 double beds, 2 bedside tables, a TV, a table, a mirror.

In the double room we had a large wardrobe with mirrors, 2 double beds, 2 bedside tables, a TV, a table, a mirror... I was very pleased that there was a bath, not a shower! trouble! hairdryer! everything is clean, simple, neat... the balcony is relatively large... with two plastic chairs (in principle, like everywhere else))
Cleaned well, every day.
In general, the impressions are good! If I go to Loret again, I will stop there without hesitation!
Close proximity to the bus station. . . 2 minutes
And, most importantly, the proximity to all discos! Especially to HOLLYWOOD : )

Traveled with a friend. We really liked the hotel and service. First time vacationing abroad. The hotel is clean, everything in the room is tastefully arranged. We rested on the 4th floor in the middle (the hotel has a U-shape) The balcony overlooked the courtyard overlooking a small street and the hotel pool.

Traveled with a friend. We really liked the hotel and service. First time vacationing abroad. The hotel is clean, everything in the room is tastefully arranged. We rested on the 4th floor in the middle (the hotel has a U-shape) The balcony overlooked the courtyard overlooking a small street and the hotel pool. The room has two wide beds, 2 bedside tables, a mirror, a table with TV. They cleaned well, the beds were neatly made, the bathroom and toilet were washed, but they didn’t clean it with a beam. The balcony was very pleasing, now we are returning after the tour, we will go to the store to buy a bottle of cava (champagne), fruit and relax on the balcony after a busy day. The restaurant fed very tasty, a large selection of cold snacks, always fish, meat on the hot. Breakfast is a bit repetitive but delicious. Pancakes, fried eggs, fried papuri, fried bacon, beans in tomato. Cheese, ham, croissants for sandwiches. At dinner, all drinks are paid, at breakfast are free (juice, tea, coffee). The girl at the reception tries very hard and tries to speak Russian. Sunbathing went not to the central beach, but to the local small beach, among the rocks. It was necessary to be in time before 10 in the morning, then you will not find a place for yourself. Mostly locals come there to sunbathe, so you pay attention that the faces are the same every day. A very beautiful place. Be sure to visit the Selvador Dali Theater Museum in Fegueras. An overnight visit is simply unforgettable!

If you have booked a room in this hotel, then consider yourself lucky, as we later found out that the hotels nearby with us are much worse than the festa in all respects, the location of this hotel is very good (this is mentioned in all reviews), the food is monotonous there, and it is huge minus! We were in the fruit season and it would seem: we should have been offered sweet, ripe and juicy fruits, but where did they get these unripe terrible ones? But in Spain itself, they mainly speak English, so you will be understood everywhere! Girls! All doors are open for you! All clubs will invite you and for free! There are a huge number of very beautiful Italians and French.

If you are a nightlife lover, the town of Loret De Mar (Costa Brava resort) is waiting for you, where my friend and I spent 12 days in early September 2006. As with any vacation, there were pros and cons. Immediately I want to note the biggest minus in our vacation - this is the TOUR OPERATOR "Natalie Tours".

If you are a nightlife lover, the town of Loret De Mar (Costa Brava resort) is waiting for you, where my friend and I spent 12 days in early September 2006. As with any vacation, there were pros and cons.
Immediately I want to note the biggest minus in our vacation - this is the TOUR OPERATOR "Natalie Tours". I advise you to “avoid it”, otherwise all impressions of the country will be spoiled.
Guides are completely incompetent in their business, impolite, incorrect and unpunctual. Having flown from this tour operator, you will immediately be deprived of a story about the country, about excursions and will not receive an answer to your questions - what happened to us.
Here is an example of a conversation:
Guide - "It's better to go to Barcelona by train, there are beautiful landscapes"
Here's the truth for you - the landscapes are not worth it at all to travel 1.5 hours in the train, in which, if you're lucky, there will be places (besides, it's another 30 minutes to the train by bus).
Question to the guide - "Do Spanish electric trains differ from Moscow ones? "
The guide’s answer is “Judge for yourself if classical music plays in our trains... ” (well, we were seduced, we think we will listen to the classics)
And what do you think we heard?? ? - local residents entered the car (as in Moscow) and played classical music on musical instruments for about 5 minutes))
So what do you think?
This is how we were well informed by the hotel guide - by the way, her name is SVETA. About discos, wines, etc. we didn’t even ask, we had enough electric trains.
Well, okay, you can close your eyes to all this, but what happened to us on the last day of rest (before the flight), I think, will be remembered for a long time.
Firstly, Sveta did not warn us about the flight change, it was rescheduled from 18.40 to 23.30. Because of what we spent eight hours at the airport (where there was a terrible duty free !!!!! - I couldn’t even buy tequila ((() All cafes are closed (after all, in Spain there is an eternal siesta! )
And secondly, the transfer was carried out by a guide - SELENA! (bus No. 25.09/16/2006) She turned out to be a terrible boorish and incompetent worker (such employees should not be allowed to work with people!!! ). She could not properly explain to us that our flight was postponed and the bus would come for us later..... we only heard screams at us - “You will not ride on this bus, you are not on the list! These are not my problems, what list are you on!!! ” We got on the bus, and we were "Get out, I'll call the police!!! " We tried to calmly talk to her and asked her to find out when we were leaving. But this Selena did not want to know anything, she only repeated - “You are not on the list! Get off the bus! "
Halfway to the airport, she again began to repeat to us - "Get off the bus, your flight is at 23.30, not to mention what will happen to us next if we get off now and find ourselves in an unknown city. " Please note - all this was said very rudely....to the questions of my girlfriend, they heard the answer - “be quiet, woman! ”.
So - because of these two guides, we were disappointed in the large tour operator "Natalie Tours", which we remember as an incompetent organization that does not know how to talk with customers at all and does not want to help tourists in problems that have arisen (if a lot of tourists start calling the guides with questions , then they just turn off their phones....- It's true !!!! )
Another point in the work of this tour operator is that they never wait on excursions, not counting the number of people, they leave !! ! - we know what it's like to run after a departing bus.
If you do not want to experience everything that was with us - choose another tour operator!!!
The biggest disadvantage I briefly outlined to you....
There was also a negative point - the weather (but this does not depend on anyone - nature does not have bad weather! ) It rained for 3-4 days, and it stopped only at night. It was not a pleasant moment in the rest. On sunny days it was 22-25 degrees, the climate is not bad, we got a tan, the sea is clean, but I can’t say that it’s very warm (the main thing is to go in, and then you don’t want to get out), the city beach was clean (though sometimes there were cigarette butts). Umbrellas and sun loungers cost 4.5 euros each, but we did not feel the need for them.
The advantage of our vacation was the location of the hotel - "FESTA BRAVA 3 *". There was a bus terminal nearby (from where buses departed to different points of the resort), five minutes away was the main street (where large disco clubs are located), and on the other side of our hotel there was a Hollywood disco (a popular disco, but there are an awful lot of people , because of which we could not stay there for a long time).
The sea is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel (past various cafes, restaurants and shops).
"FESTA BRAVA 3 *" is a good and inexpensive hotel. Quite cute and cozy. The room has two beds, a wardrobe (with hangers), a safe, a TV, a bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony (though without a table, which upset us a little).
The room was cleaned daily (but I can say that it is not clean), towels were also changed every day, bed linen once a week.
Before the trip, we read reviews about the theft in the hotel, thank God it passed us, everything is intact, though the suitcase was always locked.
They fed well. We had HB meals, but I can say that you can safely take only breakfasts, since there are a lot of bars and restaurants in the town where you can eat inexpensively and tasty.
I want to note - at the hotel you can transfer dinner to lunch (only you need to warn in advance), which is much better !!!
As for excursions, we were at a jousting tournament (a very interesting and satisfying excursion, so don’t eat a lot before it), at a bullfight + fountains (the experiences received at the bullfight will pass by looking at the beautiful fountains of Barcelona).
We visited PortAventura. It is worth a trip for all even the most cowardly travelers, as everyone will find a suitable attraction for themselves. I advise you to visit!!!
We went karting, a good track, cars, but it's better to go with a group, it will be more interesting.
This is how our 12 days flew by.
To conclude, Spain is an interesting and inexpensive country for recreation. Everyone here can find what he likes. (sea, nightlife, excursions, etc. )
The main thing is that you have responsive and attentive guides who will never say the phrase - "These are your problems! ", So do not trust your tour operator Natalie Tours!! !

The hotel is quite decent. It’s not long to go to it after disembarking by bus ~ 50 m. When we checked in, we asked (in English, of course) for a room with windows overlooking the pool, and we didn’t regret it, because at night on the streets (the other side of the hotel) it’s very noisy. The rooms are cleaned every day.

The rooms are cleaned every day. The food is good enough for a European 3-star hotel, only the breakfast is rather poor.
Not far from the hotel there is an inexpensive supermarket where you can buy food (we usually took beer, Pepsi, wine, well, some kind of snack, such as jamon), when there was no longer enough money for restaurants and cafes.
To the sea 200-300 meters. But it's nice to walk along the pedestrian street.
There is also a bus stop across the street where you can catch a bus to Barcelona. Very good location of the hotel.
