The family-friendly Giverola Resort is a simple value property set amid Mediterranean forests overlooking a gorgeous cove, a 10-minute drive from Tossa de Mar. It features 211 no-frills apartments and studios equipped with basic kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and furnished terraces. Some units have wonderful sea views, but all lack air-conditioning and Wi-Fi. With dozens of sports activities and competitions throughout the day, indoor and outdoor pools -- including one with a big waterslide -- and access to two beaches, the hotel offers plenty to do both for adults and children. Extra fees can add up, though, with additional charges for parking and use of certain sports facilities. Those looking to stay closer to restaurants, bars, and shops may want to consider Hotel Costa Brava instead.

GHT is a series of Costa Brava chain hotels; this particular mid-range property, situated a five-minute walk from the city beach in a residential neighborhood, is a plain, apartment-like building centered around a small outdoor pool. Standard rooms are simple and somewhat beach-y, with wicker furniture and tile floors. Some basic complaints are not uncommon here, including that walls are thin, tropical-theme decor dated, and amenities scarce. The hotel does, however, suit the needs of many budget travelers looking for a convenient location to the beaches and downtown of Tossa de Mar. Families, in particular, are attracted to the few amenities that do exist, such as the kiddie pool and children's activities.

The 101 rooms at this mid-range property are contained in two hotels -- Tossa Beach Hotel and Hotel Tossa Centre -- operated under one management and separated by a street. The property consists of renovated '70s-era structures with laminate surfaces and tiling throughout -- a bit like a well-kept youth hostel. Food in the all-inclusive package can be repetitive, and drinks may not be the highest quality, but there are many dining options in the immediate area for those desiring additional culinary options. Location is a big draw; the property is situated three blocks from the Platja Gran, Tossa de Mar’s main city beach. Rooms are simple but clean, but Wi-Fi and numerous other amenities require an extra fee.

This lower-middle-range hotel is basic and a generally good value for the area, though it offers little more. Its 322 rooms, situated a few blocks from the beach, are clean for the most part -- however, some rooms have maintenance issues, such as thin walls, poorly functioning plumbing, and general mustiness. There are few amenities here, save for a small outdoor pool and children’s play area. However, the proximity to Tossa de Mar’s main city beach is very convenient, and that -- coupled with the low prices -- lures many vacationing families.
