I recently stayed at Gran Hotel Reymar & Spa, and I truly believe it may be the nicest hotel in all…read moreof Tossa de Mar.
Originally built in 1962, the hotel has a classic mid-century vibe that I absolutely loved. While some parts may have been updated or added later, the whole property is impeccably maintained--it feels both timeless and well cared for.
The location is unbeatable: right across the street from Mar Menuda (beach), with commanding views of the bay, and just a short walk to the town's main beach. It's also an easy, scenic stroll into town for exploring, shopping, dining, and drinks. Whether you're looking to relax or wander, it's the perfect base.
My room was fantastic--super clean, with a private balcony and an unforgettable view. Housekeeping was excellent. The A/C wasn't icy cold, but it was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep.
Service-wise, the front desk staff felt a bit reserved--not particularly warm or welcoming, which stood out in contrast to the rest of the experience. However, the bellhop was excellent--friendly, helpful, and full of good energy.
One of the highlights of my stay was the buffet breakfast--plentiful, fresh, and served in a beautiful open-air space overlooking the sea. Starting the day with that view was a true treat.
All in all, Gran Hotel Reymar combines old-school charm, unbeatable views, and top-notch cleanliness--a rare find. I absolutely loved my stay and would happily return.
Note: I did not use the spa. I did drive from Barcelona, so the rental car was garaged by the bellman, never saw it for 3 days, then it reappeared when it was time to depart. I think it was $20 Euro per night - seemed fair as I didn't have to worry about the car.
A solid 5 stars from me!
