Hotel Hostalillo Tamariu

We absolutely loved this hotel, from its stunning location to the wonderful friendly service of the staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Nice little restaurants/ tavernas along the seafront and we loved exploring this beautiful coastline and visiting places like the old town of Burgur for shopping and nice restaurants. We will definitely be back for a longer stay and would recommend this little gem of a hotel! A few little things to improve our stay: we would have liked tea and coffee facilities in the bedrooms as we had a lovely little balcony overlooking the beach which would have been good for a nice morning or evening cuppa but had to go down to collect a coffee as no room service. Also as it was high season, the staff were working flat out down in the bar and my son-in-law had to wait a long time to get his baby son’s bottles sterilised in the microwave- it would have been good to have access ourselves to a microwave without having to wait /bother the poor server who was very busy but still took the trouble to help him. A cheaper breakfast option would also be good- one morning we only wanted some toast and fruit for the baby but you have to buy a full breakfast so an option for adults who don’t want a cooked breakfast would be good.

This hotel was a gem! Incredible location, and the family room was perfect for us. Loved it!

This was a really nice hotel in this area of Costa Brava. Let’s start with (1) the rooms: The room was big and the bathroom was very spacious. We were a family of 4 and they had a king bed and two single beds. The room had a small balcony facing the beach; the balcony also had a small table and chairs which can be used just to spend time enjoying the beautiful view from the room. The only downside to the room is that is a little dark but who goes to this part of the world to stay in the room? (2) Let’s continue with the restaurant: we only had breakfast there but you could also enjoy lunch and diner. The restaurant also has spectacular views of the Cala (beach) and you get the breeze from the ocean - I admit having breakfast there was one of the high points of my Spain trip. Breakfast was buffet style and I got to enjoy a Mimosa which was included with the price of breakfast. You also get hot and cold option so you will enjoy. Now let’s finish with (3) other aspects: staff was really friendly and spoke multiple languages. The lobby area is really nice and next to it you can also enjoy the view without going out. Dropping off the suitcases can be challenging - first you have to make sure you don’t miss the entrance to the hotel (you have to go into a very small street that you may no see without the GPS) and then the space to drop the bags does not allo for more than 3 cars at the same time - it wasn’t an issue for me but during busy times could be challenging.
