The setting is fabulous with well-maintained grounds. It was well worth paying extra for a garden room, as this provided extra space and privacy. We did not have a car and enjoyed exploring the area on foot, although bicycles are available to hire, and used Shuttle Direct for transport to and from Girona, although a bus service is also available from Santa Cristina d'Aro. We were amazed at the amount of wildlife, with sparrows everywhere and swallows enjoying skimming the surface of the pool and we even saw bats and (dead) snakes. It seems the hotel grounds are managed in an environmentally friendly manner. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and the spa is perfect if the weather is not great. Fabulous setting for the much appreciated outdoor eating options. The only downside for us was the (expensive) lunch and dinner menu items and the over-reliance on red meat, with very few vegetarian options. We discovered afterwards that it's possible to ask for a sandwich menu at lunch time, but still expensive.

This was our third stay at the Elke Hotel and I don't usually write reviews as I stay at many hotels but this hotel is a jewel. A very good example of a four star hotel that deserves five stars. It has the right balance between privacy and amicable and honest service. Eugenia in particular has been wonderful every time we come. She is pleasant, helpful and good at her job. Also a big shout out for the rest of the reception team and the breakfast manageress - who remembered what we liked and made sure we had perfectly cooked fresh fried eggs every morning. The place and room are spotless and clean, welcoming and nice and new yet warm. the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Even though we had to change hotels for the last night of our stay in San Feliu as the were closing down for a few days after Christmas so the staff could spend time with their families for the holidays, we respect that as it shows management appreciates its staff . Thank you again for a wonderful stay. Oh and the Spa is fantastic - new and very clean and welcoming.

Se trata de un hotel SIN personal. Únicamente una persona que sirve los desayunos y supongo que también hace las habitaciones. Tienes que hacer el check-in on-line obligatoriamente con los datos de todos los viajeros antes de la estancia, en una página con algunos errores que inducen a confusión. Hecho el check-in, te envían por correo una clave que permite abrir tanto la puerta principal como la de las habitaciones, y te facilitan un teléfono de contacto por si hay problemas. Hasta aquí todo bien. Fuimos con la familia para una sola noche de estancia. Los códigos funcionaron, y las habitaciones estaban bien. Un poco pequeñas, pero limpias y con lo mínimo necesario. Tienen TV, aire acondicionado y wifi, pero no neverita. El baño, con ducha, limpio y correcto. El problema vino en que al parecer durante la noche se desactivaron los códigos de entrada y al salir a las 8 de la mañana a dar un paseo ya no pudimos entrar. Nos abrió la persona de servicio, pero no pudimos entrar a las habitaciones. Esa persona no pudo (o no supo o no quiso) hacer nada al respecto y tuvimos que llamar al ”teléfono de emergencia” donde nos atendió una persona que en ningún momento se identificó ni se disculpó, y al cabo de unos minutos nos pudo abrir las habitaciones a distancia. Nos dijo que habían tenido un problema informático, ... etc pero hasta las 11:00 (cuando ya nos íbamos) no nos resetearon los códigos. Otro tema insatisfactorio es el desayuno. Sobre el papel está bien, con lo básico pero de satisfactoria calidad. El problema es que el comedor es muy pequeño, con 6 o 7 mesitas para dos personas, y con poca comida y bebida disponible, con la idea de ir reponiendo a medida que se consume. Como el hotel tiene algo más de 20 habitaciones, y el día que estuvimos estaba lleno o casi, nos encontramos que entre 9 y 10 h bajaron casi todos los huéspedes a desayunar, creando un ”tapón” importante. La única empleada no daba abasto, y se acabó todo: comida, bebida, cubiertos, manteles, etc. Se estropearon a la vez la máquina de zumo y la de café, gente de pie esperando, etc ... Nosotros éramos 6 y tuvimos que tuvimos que desayunar en mesas separadas y no al mismo tiempo. En fin, que aún comprendiendo que estamos en temporada baja, y que la informática puede fallar a veces, hemos echado en falta una atención personal e implicada

Suelo hospedarme en este hotel todos los años en nuestras vacaciones de verano ya que me siento como si fuera en mi casa. Por la gran variedad de desayunos como en las cenas ya que tiene una parte de salón donde hay un personal que te puede hacer pescado, carne a la plancha y si tienes alguna alergia de alimentos pues hablas con el jefe de cocina y te facilitas que alimentos puedes cenar y te lo hace enseguida. Y todo el personal de este hotel incluido el de mantenimiento se nota que son unos grandes profesionales porque lleva muchos años en la hostelería y son muy ambles.

The hotel is gorgeous in a magic location. We have been coming here for the last 7 years, every year, always staying in one of their apartments. The apartments are beautiful, comfortable, clean and with a great view. Just in front of the beach. The location is perfect! The services of the hotel are excellent, the food as well, the swimming pool so nice. The reception is super kind and open minded - they always find the way to satisfy you. The town is magic and offers all the necessary. Will always come back!

We just got back from a multi-day family stay at this hotel. We had been on holidays in this area previously but this was our first time at S'Agaro Hotel. The hotel's location is amazing as it's just a few metres away from a lovely beach. The hotel and facilities are nice, clean and very well presented. The staff were all very polite and kind. The breakfast was good quality although a bit repetitive. The price for our say was substantially higher than other similar 4 star hotels in the same area. One good thing was that their rate was cancellable which is why we booked it in the end. If some of the other 4 star hotels in the area had offered cancellable rates, we would have probably gone for a slightly cheaper option than this hotel. The rooms a bit smaller than we hoped for but were adequate and clean. One of the big negatives is about the swimming pool. Although there's a large board stating what is and isn't allowed, this is not monitored by hotel staff and most of the rules are disregarded by guests. For example, eating and drinking in the sunlounges or keeping their dogs with them. More worryingly, plenty of people vaped and smoked in the sunlounges and not just tobacco, judging by the smell, stronger stuff too, which for a family hotel I found very poor. Although access to the hotel's area by car is heavily policed by security guards, accessing the hotel's pool on foot is not controlled at all so we regularly so random people walking in, swimming in the pool and then just leaving the premises without anyone challenging them. This was the case with both a group of local young back-packers and also a group of noisy French guys. None of them disturbed us directly, but I thought it was a bit off putting. In the age of social media, I assume people tell each other that this pool is widely open to anyone and people just use it without being guests at the hotel. We were travelling with children and all this made use feel a bit uneasy in the pool area. The gym is basic and limited in terms of equipment, specially weights. Another negative is with regards to food and drink in the room. We all know that anything from inside the mini-bar is chargeable. However, this is the first hotel I see where they place items like coffee capsules in a table in your room and then charges you for consuming them, at the end of your stay. Finally, I understand the hotel is dog friendly and guests are allowed them in their rooms, however, I wasn't happy to regularly see people taking their dogs to the swimming pool area (not in the water though) and also have them in the outdoor restaurant during breakfast time. In summary, nice hotel in great location, a bit overpriced and needs stronger pool access control policies.
