Hotel Blaucel

Best value for money, definitely. Very close to the beach (2-3 minutes walking), but also nice indoor and outdoor pools available so you can choose what you want. Great food (we paid for breakfast, but on check-in they said we also get dinner!). Some of the facilities seem to be a bit older, but very clean and in good shape. There is daily and evening entertainment for children and adults as well (we were with a 8 year old and a 5 year old, and they loved it there). WiFi was ok, it was losing signal here and there, but we bought a cheap SIM card with a lot of data so it wasn't needed. I felt parking was a bit expensive for me (17€ a day), so I parked on the streets nearby (6€ daily, and if you pay in advance for several days it gets a lot cheaper). City is nice, and there are cool things to do and see around the Costa brava area. With a car, it takes about an hour to Barcelona, people say there are trains and buses, we didn't use them so I can't say. The room is a little basic, but we spent very little time in it so it is irrelevant, it was cleaned thoroughly and daily. Bathroom is nice, terrace too. There is no mini fridge in the room, some people might find that info useful.

A nice hotel if you need a quiet vacation and don't want to think about the meals. The food was good, especially the dinners (every day, there was a different theme/cuisine), the location is perfect, very close to the beach. The facilities are a bit older but well maintained so we lacked nothing in this regard. The rooms were well furnished and pretty quiet.

Location was close to the beach, food was nice

We had an excellent experience at Blaucel. The staff were very friendly, the food was excellent, well varied and themed. The indoor and outdoor pool was clean and big enough for everyone. The animation team provided good entertainment, particularly liked the Flamenco and Magic Night. The beach is a 3-5 min walk. It was not overcrowded (end of August). On our the last day, we were given picnic lunch boxes, very thoughtful.

The staff were amazing, especially the restaurant staff who helped me choose meals according to my dietary requirements. We enjoyed using the facilities across both hotels too!
