  A very disappointing four-night stay

  04 Sept 2026

  We booked four nights, Thursday to Monday, and paid extra for a premium room with a lovely sea view. Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable stay turned into four of the worst nights’ sleep we’ve experienced in a hotel.From the very first night, the soundproofing was extremely poor. We could clearly hear people in the room next door and guests in the corridor.The following morning, from around 7am, loud piano music was being played in the restaurant. With the windows apparently being so thin, it felt like having Liberace as an alarm clock. This happened again each morning.On Friday evening, after spending the day at the beach, we simply wanted to relax and have a drink at the hotel bar. Unfortunately, the Rotary Club was using the hotel and the bar was unavailable. When we tried to get a drink, we found the staff’s attitude particularly unhelpful and, in our experience, quite rude.Saturday brought another issue, as there was a wedding taking place at the hotel. Again, we were unable to enjoy a drink at the bar, and the music continued until around midnight at a volume that made it feel as though we were actually staying in the wedding reception. After that, there was understandably additional noise from guests returning to their rooms.The breakfast was OK, but in our opinion certainly wasn’t worth the price. There are places within a short walk of the hotel where you can get breakfast for less than half the cost.Finally, the hotel appears to be pet friendly. We had a dog in the room directly opposite ours, and unfortunately the corridor had a strong smell of wet dog throughout our stay. This may be perfectly acceptable to some guests, but it would have been useful to know this before booking.The sea view was lovely, but unfortunately that was one of the few positives we took away from our stay. For the price we paid, we expected a much higher standard of comfort and service.Overall, a very disappointing stay, and unfortunately not somewhere we would choose to stay again.

  Comfortable and clean

  17 Feb 2026

  Good quality hotel in a beautiful location on a headland by the sea.Rooms are clean and comfortable. The newly refurbished ones with sea-facing balconies are superb, the older ones with smaller sea-facing terraces are also OK, but the newer ones are clearly recently renovated. The newer rooms have better bathrooms and WiFi than the older ones, and some have spacious balconies.The breakfast isn't cheap, but it is more than generous and of very good quality. It is served in a large glazed restaurant overlooking the sea and unspoiled beaches.

  ????? Breakfast Scam

  03 Nov 2025

  I booked Hotel Costa Brava through United Hotels, carefully choosing a room with breakfast included since we were traveling with kids and breakfast is important for them. We were part of a group traveling with several families — everyone else checked out without any issue.However, to my surprise, during checkout I was told I had to pay extra — around 60 euros — for breakfast per day. This was shocking, especially because all we had was a cup of coffee for me and a small juice for my daughter, who was competing all mornings.I immediately contacted United, and they confirmed that breakfast was indeed included in the rate I had booked. Unfortunately, the hotel refused to honor United’s confirmation or correct the charge.It’s deeply disappointing — not only because of the ridiculous charge, but also because of the lack of professionalism and customer care. I would not recommend this hotel to families or travelers who expect transparency and respect for confirmed bookings.

  Lovely stay but a few minor downsides

  13 Aug 2025

  Overall we enjoyed our stay here but there are a few minor downsides to the hotel that are worth mentioning. The staff weren’t very welcoming. Reception desk staff often didn’t make eye contact or look up. Waitressing staff were quite miserable. We stayed in a family room with a sea view and the view was incredible. The hotel is located in a beautiful location but the rooms are a little dated. The air con was also quite weak for the size of the room. Breakfast was nice, but not a whole lot of choice. More continental than hot breakfast. As for value I would say this hotel is quite expensive for what it is. The location is great but the hotel is dated and needs some TLC. Staff also need to be more welcoming.

  Classic seaside charm with a modern twist

  17 Jul 2025

  I spent three blissful days at Hotel Costa Brava in mid-May, and it reminded me why hotels near the sea have clung to certain traditions: there’s nothing more timeless than waking to the scent of salt air. Our first-floor room, complete with a lovely balcony, felt like our own little retreat overlooking that endless blue ribbon of beach. The interiors are very nice: a mix of modern trendy with classic charm.Location couldn’t be better: a short stroll lands you in the heart of Platja d’Aro, while the Camí de Ronda path literally starts at the hotel’s doorstep: perfect for history buffs and walkers alike. Car users rejoice, too: parking is never an afterthought here (on-site spaces plus two nearby lots).Shout-out to the Reception team, who were super helpful and went out of their way to get us checked in swiftly. The only hiccup? For checkout, a woman stationed at a back-office desk kept asking the Receptionist (who was handling 2 couples and a family of guests) silly and non urgent things, which seemed to frazzle the Receptionist unnecessarily.Now, the breakfast. I respect a well-oiled buffet line as much as the next pilgrim to freshly baked croissants, but here the kitchen’s “warm trays” approach left the eggs and bacon feeling like relics from an earlier service: neither hot nor cold enough to satisfy purists. The spread was varied and the dining room divine (inside or on the terrace). Pastries and breads are delicious and the variety of jams and celiacs and vegan options are available.All said, Hotel Costa Brava blends that enduring seaside charm with an edge and unbeatable location.
