It was the off-season and they were understaffed so no waiter service at their bar and nothing by the glass.

The room I was in had two big palm trees blocking part of the sunset, still it was beautiful. The breakfast buffet is out of this world. Two rooms of food and beverage. Everything you could ever want for breakfast. Including a champagne cocktail. There is a small indoor pool, but nice jacuzzi area overlooking the Mediterranean. You have to get towels at the front desk for both the pool and the beach, which seems a bit odd, but not too bad if you remember ahead of time. The beach just below the hotel is too small, but down the path 200m is a larger beach that is sufficient with great views. I would highly recommend eating at Gastromar. They share the same kitchen as Michelin-rated El Brancs. The Turbot, cocktails, and dessert were excellent here.

There was no real need to leave this hotel. You can find all the relaxing you need here and it had hands down the most beautiful little cove beach and views that we saw along the coast! Felt like a 60s movie star swansong, with its cascading balconies, views, slow dining in the restaurants, and fun throwback cocktails in whimsical glassware. The breakfast was wonderful, and for lunch and dinners we ate at all three restaurants. The fare at all 3 is similar, but gets elevated in old fashioned elegance as you rose up each level. They all served seafood and we had an amazing white wine from the local vinyard! We did expect to see more "lunchy" items like fries, calamari, panini/pizzette at the beach level pirate dock bar -like more of a beach shack - but they are literally prepping out of a cool cave in the wall so no fryer is a minor thing, and it was a cheerful seaside vantage for a long lunch or drinks. Do reserve dinner upstairs as the restaurants can fill up. Last, shout-out to the welcoming help of the team at the front when you arrive! This place is a unique and romantic dream!

I showed up in the late afternoon and the front desk person was very helpful, warm and professional. I booked a sea view room at a fair price. The room although slightly on the smaller size was well appointed. I thought the connection betweeen the bathroom and bedroom was fantastic. Basically a sliding door covers the space between the sink and the bedroom. With the door closed a mirror is above the bathroom sink. When it is open you have a full view through the bedroom and out the window to the sea. This is convenient from the bedroom side as it gives access to the sink. I did not take the breakfast at the hotel but the dining room looked spacious. The hotel as a wonderful room of cozy chairs and a mini library room. Ample tables outside along the sea with beautiful views. The hotel also sits along a pathway that follows the beach. Most convenient is the hotel is right next to the ruins. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I called from my car and was assured I could drive to the front of the hotel, drop my bags and then continue to the parking garage around the corner. I did this succesfully although nervously. The front desk clerk was warm, professional and helpful. She told me I had been upgraded to a larger room which was a nice surprise. The room was large, clean and well appointed. There were three large french doors that looked out over the back of the hotel and it's pool. It was lovely. The location is superb as it is just around the corner to one of the bridges that crosses the river into the historic area of the city. Check out was easy and straightforward.

I was looking for a place to stay after touring the Dali museum in nearby Figueres. Based on my…read moreresearch, it seemed like Girona was a better place to stay than Firgueres and it was closer on the way back to Barcelona. Found Nord 1901 over on Trip Advisor, but I also needed to Yelp it here, of course! This wonderful, elegant boutique hotel is in the heart of wonderful Girona and walking distance to most everything that you're likely to want to do. Not grand or opulent, but this hotel and its rooms fit my taste more than most others in which I have ever stayed. Excellent front desk service with good English speakers. Parking is a little strange, off premises around the corner, but it works, and you can unload easily on the quiet street in front of the hotel. Some of the third floor rooms involve additional stairs after the top floor elevator, so plan accordingly or ask for help with your bags. Wonderful small pool in the back beyond the main lobby. There looked to be a nice optional breakfast buffet, but we didn't partake. Rates were very reasonable considering the quality. Definitely recommend! If you have ever been to Lucca Italy, Girona may remind you of it a bit. Many streets are old, narrow, one way or even dead end. My biggest tip is that even though this is a smaller city, you will most definitely need a good MAP to find this hotel and to get around. This is especially true if you are driving in. We got hopelessly lost on the way in. I only wish that we had more time to explore this wonderful, vibrant and ancient city!

I was greeted by a very friendly waiter who told me to sit anywhere. I chose a table outside next to the railing overlooking the sea. I ordered some mussels to start and a fish stew for my main course. I ordered a glass of local dry white wine. The wine and food were outstanding. The waiter took great care of me as I dined alone in this amazing setting. I imagine in high season this place is crazy busy, but on a beautiful March day it was a stunning, tranquil and breathtaking view with delicious food to match.

When the Parador de Aiguablava came up, he asked me if I minded that this Hotel was a modern building and not a former Castle or Convent. I admitted that this barracks-like alabaster structure was a little boxy. However, when Gayle and I considered the magnificent Costa Brava views, the superb service, and the surrounding beaches and sights, it doesn't get much better than this. In fact, the only compatible Parador experience on this trip were the amazing Mountain views at their facility in Vielha. Gayle would also go as far to say that she would have given up a day in Barcelona to stay here longer. This modern Parador is a superbly located hotel on the Punta D'es Muts and is surrounded by pine trees overlooking the sea. The Parador maximizes its cliff-side perch with large windows everywhere, including the Restaurant/Breakfast Room, Lounge, various sitting rooms, and even the business meeting area. We spent a lot of time on our room balcony just relaxing and taking in the view. There's also an ocean-side Lounge were we did the same over cocktails. The Parador also operates a separate restaurant and beach in a cove below. However, it was October and that was closed for the season. This is also the perfect place to venture out and enjoy the area's beautiful beaches, cliff walks and explore the coves in a gorgeous natural environment.

How am I the first to review?!…read more This place was simply amazing. It's a little different in the sense that there isn't a front desk per se but checking in was a breeze. Then we were headed to our room in the elevator which opened directly to our room. I feel like I've only ever seen this in movies. There's one room per floor and although a pretty old and historic building, it was upgraded to have a kitchen in each room, amazingly comfortable bed and an AC.

I think this hotel (and Europe in general) has so much charm for this very reason! We were only here for a single night, but the room was fantastic. New fixtures, comfy beds, and a great rain shower. The room also had automatic curtains, which aren't exactly a breakthrough feature but I'll admit I always feel like a king when I can command them from the comfort of my bed! In addition, the hotel is in a great location for exploring the town. They also had an amazing breakfast spread in the morning. Sadly, we were in a rush to get to the Barcelona airport, so I was only able to grab a couple doughnuts for my group and run out the door. I highly recommend checking this place out if you ever find yourself in Girona, it's a great find.
