Lloret del Mar

Lloret gets quite a bad press but I don't think that its bad as people make out. An advantage of it is that it's REALLY cheap to get out there, hotel accommodation is cheap and food and drinks are really cheap. The beach is clean but it's a shingle beach with personally I don't like and it's very uncomfortable to walk on. The views are nice looking up the coast although the resort its self is very touristy and lots of concrete buildings everywhere. There are good transport (bus) links to Barcelona. Which is good as there isn't loads to do once you have visited the many souvenir shops, bars and shopping area. If you want ...  Read the complete review

This was the firs holiday I had ever been on, so we settled for Lloret seeing as our friens were going aswell. We stayed at the hotel aquariun it was a lovely hotel very clean. The resort itself is not up to much, there are all little shops up around on the main road, and you have to walk a little while into the town. Although there was a beach 5 mins walk down the road.

I did not think there was much there for kids either and found it to expensive ...  Read the complete review

We stayed in fanals beach, which was quiter, more serene and more fun. I would recommend that especially to familys, where its more quiter. The beach there was very nice, warm, although a little stoney. The weather however was disapointed, we could only sunbathe one day, we had two storms, severe gales, hail and heavy rain. I guess we were just unlucky though! ...  Read the complete review

I spent a week in Lloret at the beginning with July. It is about an hours drive from Barcelona on the north of the south coast of Spain. A few hours along the coast from Marseille. Although it lacks the charm shared by neighbouring Tossa de Mar it is a great place to holiday in. There are two lovely beaches with beautiful blue water, Fanals and Lloret. Both are fully lifeguarded and the water is clean, although the small pebbles on the beach are similar to those in a cats litter tray and parts of fanals beach bear resemblance to a huge ash tray! At Fanals beach there are various water sports. Sailing, parasailing, windsurfing and a banana boat. The ...  Read the complete review
