Arenas Resort Giverola

Great beach-side location, beautiful views, lots of families, food, super-market on site.

A bit far from Barcelona

We took our three children ages 2, 6 and 9. The hotel caters to families with children and has activities for the children. The staff is very friendly to the children. There are camps for the children (which we did not use, but could have). The hotel lists activities through out the day and night for the children to participate in. We went Snorkeling, Scuba-diving, Dancing, Boating, Painted a real car, Got involved in a wii Contest, Etc, Etc. The beach is very beautiful and the sun does not set until 10pm during the summer. The resort is located very close to a town Tossa Del Mar. This town has hundreds of restaurants open late and a real castle to explore. There are 2 water parks within 30-45 min, zip-line park & a karting track.

The room did not have A/C. The summer nights are cool and the temperature in the evening is pleasant. But there are also mosquitoes around, so keeping the door open at night becomes a challenge, but we managed and for the most part the mosquitoes were not a real problem. The room gets cleaned every 5 days. This we were not aware of. We were provided with new towels every 2 days. But the room with 3 children could have used a cleaning after 3 days.

Charming surroundings make this hotel absolutely unique. Besides, it is an ideal place for all kinds of rest, both active (tennis, golf..and what not) and completely relaxing ( sunbathing, listening to jazz, watching the sea). Well-balanced possibility to communicate and to stay alone if you wish. Though the hotel is located 4 km from Tossa, it is very easy to get to town by hotel bus. We liked the apartment:spacious,clean, and well-equipped. The view down the sea was breathtaking! The stuff of the hotel is very friendly and helpful, they do their best to make the rest both comfor-table and variable( jazz festival-!!!) We also liked well thought-out system of payment for services inside the complex withthe help of electronic bracelets. Would definitely come here again!
