This budget hotel, with 208 rooms, offers a good deal for the price, but some repeat problems may surface including general noise, poor levels of room cleanliness, and pesky extra charges for amenities such as Wi-Fi and use of in-room fridges. The building itself is a '70s-era construction, located in downtown Platja d’Aro; the decor in both the common areas and the individual rooms is not far from this dated aesthetic. An outdoor pool, pool bar, and some other amenities like an internet terminal in the lobby, a children’s play room, and plenty of meeting spaces draw budget-conscious families and business travelers.

The 300 rooms here are laid out in white-stucco, five-story buildings that look directly onto the beach. The property is very popular with families with children because of its proximity to the water, children’s play area, and lovely outdoor pool with stunning views of the sea. There are some reports of issues with cleanliness and also poor volume control in the hotel in general, and in the dining room, which can get quickly overwhelmed with guests, resulting in long lines. This property, which sits within a 15-minute walk of the Platja d’Aro commercial district, could be a good value for the money or overrated -- depending on the season and crowds.

The Salles Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi is a 52-room luxury property overlooking a secluded inlet on the Costa Brava. Guests love its ocean-view pool and large, full-service spa with indoor waterfall pool, hammam, and Finnish sauna, especially as there’s little to do outside the hotel beyond swimming in the crystal Mediterranean. Still, the town of Platja d'Aro makes a good base for Costa Brava explorations, and Barcelona is an easy day trip from here. Rooms are spacious but feel dated and lack style as well as some amenities expected at this price point. Those looking for more amenities and a greater range of activities should consider the Vistabella, a luxury beachfront hotel about an hour north in Roses.

This small hotel is situated a few-minutes' walk from the water in the beach town of Platja d’Aro. The simple, budget property has fresh, modern (if bare bones) rooms and an intimate atmosphere, thanks to charming common areas and well-manicured grounds full of tropical plants. The 39 rooms here are no-frills, but all feature balconies, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. An extensive buffet breakfast is included in the room price, and there is a restaurant as well as a bar on-site; the lunch menu, in particular, is a good value.

This relaxed and fairly intimate hotel, with its 121 rooms, maintains an ideal location perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Its grounds combine indoor and outdoor spaces in an attractive and relaxed fashion; the lovely sea-facing terraces, and the piano room, with its high ceilings and ample natural light, are particularly tranquil. This upper-middle-range property is situated a 15-minute walk from the downtown area of the resort town of Platja D’Aro, and is popular for its beach-convenient location (five minutes down a steep path) and the cleanliness of its spare, but comfortable, rooms.
