The Hotel Carmen is a small, two-and-a-half-pearl hotel in the oldest part of Roses -- about a five-minute walk to the beach. Its 24 rooms, with their glazed terra-cotta floors and color-washed accent walls, have a Mediterranean flair, but they vary considerably in size; some have terraces and outdoor showers. A buffet breakfast -- which includes cooked-to-order eggs -- is included in room rates, and it can be taken inside or outside. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and coffee, tea, and water are available all day. The property is housed in three renovated fishing cottages, and guests say its style and ambience evoke the Costa Brava of decades past. The biggest downside: There's no pool, which even budget hotels in the area provide. Grecs Hotel is a good alternative with similar rates and a pool.

The three-pearl Hotel Montecarlo is a solid mid-range property located directly on the beach. Its 126 guest rooms are a bit outdated in terms of decor, but they offer flat-screen TVs and partial or full ocean views from balconies -- though they lack tea/coffee-making facilities. In addition to a wide, clean beach, the property features a pool that can be enclosed in the winter, a buffet restaurant, bar, and solarium -- but there’s no gym on-site. Travelers might also want to check out the beachfront Hotel Marina, which has a gym, sauna, and hot tub.

Hotel Nautilus is a three-pearl hotel popular with budget travelers for its clean and well-maintained guest rooms and location that's a five-minute walk to Santa Margarita Beach.

Recreational offerings include a tennis court, a pool table, ping-pong tables, and live music and shows during the summer. Another mid-range hotel in the area popular with leisure travelers is Hotel Marina, which also has a spa and Turkish bath.

The Hotel Marina is a mid-range property across the street from the beach on the Bay of Roses, with many bars, restaurants, and shops nearby. Built in 1926, the hotel is a bit retro -- or dated -- depending on your perspective. Its 60 rooms have views of the sea or the town; some are more modern than others, but all are modestly furnished. A top-floor, three-bedroom apartment can also be rented. The small rooftop pool and whirlpool, surrounded by loungers, has an adjacent bar. Other features include a spa and a skylit fitness center with an array of equipment. Rates include a breakfast buffet with freshly baked breads, and Wi-Fi is free. Travelers could also compare rates and amenities with the similar Prestige Victoria Hotel.
