The 240-room Prestige Sant Marc Hotel is a dated budget property set a six-minute walk from the beach. Set just outside the center of Roses, there are numerous bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Simple, old-fashioned rooms have tube-style TVs, furnished balconies, and shower/tub combos, but no air-conditioning. Couples and families alike come here for the outdoor pool with accompanying children’s pool, buffet-style restaurant, and kid-friendly entertainment. Travelers more interested in modern decor than a pool should consider the similarly priced Hotel Montmar.

The Prestige Victoria is a three-pearl property with unobstructed sea views of Santa Margarita Beach across the street. Its large and bright 208 rooms, all with balconies and many with views of the water, are simply decorated and a bit worn. There's a restaurant for all-day dining (full-board packages are available) and a bar with nightly live entertainment. Two pools, including one for children, are set in lush green lawns. Other features include a small fitness center and a spa with a sauna, steam room, and pool for hydrotherapy. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby. Guests, who tend to be older French and Spanish couples, complain about the hotel's lack of parking and uninspired food. For a more updated property with a pool -- but no sea view -- travelers could try the Hotel Marina.

The highlight of the mid-range Hotel Monterrey is its location on Santa Margarita Beach in Roses. Its 135 guest rooms have ocean views, and though decor is bland, they’re clean, well-kept, and have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Most guests enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, buffet-style restaurant, outdoor pool, and modest fitness center, plus the hotel offers free perks like breakfast, bikes, and Wi-Fi. The Almadraba Park Hotel is a good alternative for those who want on-site parking and rooms with air-conditioning and minibars -- but the beach is accessed via a steep staircase which might pose issues for some.

Vistabella is an upscale beachfront hotel with 34 guest rooms set in a sprawling Mediterranean-style villa with spectacular views of the Bay of Roses. Done up in classical or modern styles (though some decor feels dated), almost all rooms have balconies with sea views, as well as chic open-plan bathrooms that also offer great vistas -- though they might pose privacy issues. There are four on-site restaurants to choose from, including the Michelin-starred Els Brancs, and a panoramic bar. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, as is access to the spa's small indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, and stream room. The hotel lacks an outdoor pool, but guests have direct access to a lovely beach. For something with more features, check out the Hotel Mediterraneo Park and Hotel Mediterraneo, which have three pools, a fitness center, and a kids' club.

This small, mid-range hotel is situated across the street from the beach in the town of Roses, close to restaurants, bars, and shops. Each of its 37 spacious rooms sleeps up to four people thanks to pullout sofa beds, and many have sitting areas and balconies.

Breakfast is charged extra and served buffet-style, and Wi-Fi is free -- though it can be patchy in certain spots. Nearby Hotel Marina offers serious competition with its setting by the beach and list of features that includes a rooftop pool, spa, and fitness center, though decor here is a bit dated.

Located on the seafront near Roses, this three-pearl property is a solid choice for Costa Brava-bound vacationers looking to be close to the beach. Its 167 guest rooms -- the best which have water-view balconies -- all come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and a rustic-refined decor that extends into the common areas. For many guests, though, the real draws are the sandy strand below plus the property’s own fun-in-the-sun features: most notably a four-season outdoor pool and a lawn for sunbathing. There's also a buffet-style restaurant that offers add-on meal plans, as well as a bar and lounge area with seating indoors and out. Guests wanting more in the way of fitness facilities should consider the nearby Prestige Victoria instead -- it’s a mid-range sister hotel where the features include a pair of pools, a spa and a gym.

Built almost 50 years ago, the Almadraba Park Hotel is an upper-middle-range property with a retro vibe overlooking the Bay of Roses on the Costa Brava, about two miles from the town center. Its 60 rooms and six suites, all with terraces or balconies and terra-cotta floors, have water or mountain views.

The grounds include tennis and squash courts. Guests rave about the food in both the casual and more formal restaurants. Full- and half-board dining packages are offered.
