3 star Independent hotels in Costa Brava, Spain

We, two adults and one child, stayed in the hotel between 24 August and 3 September 2013. This hotel was carefully chosen prior booking. We decided to book this hotel with Expedia, and never regretted. Their customer service was great, and I would like to mention David and Raj - the two people from Expedia, we contacted over the phone,and who provided really very good customer service, showing their professionalism and understanding of our requests. They have contacted the hotel on our behalf and sorted out all our requests. As we arrived in Roses very late at 11.30pm and phoned the hotel to ask for the directions. Carmen, who was on duty that night at the reception, helped us so much, that we could not appreciate much. During our stay we met and been in touch with other members of the hotel, Tris and Josef. They are great people and our daughter was crying when we were leaving. I would also like to mention other members of staff - maids, restaurant waitresses - all were very friendly, polite and showing respect to the guests. They work like a honey bees, if I may to make such a comparison. A BIG THANK YOU to all of them!

We loved Mas Salvanera. They were so helpful even though little English was spoken. It is in a lovely spot. The dinners were great and great value. Very laid back. Would highly recommend. Only draw back was that it was quite hot when we were there and no a/c. Fans are provided in the rooms which helps somewhat. Guess it just takes some getting used to. Pool helped which was lovely.

I've stayed at the Sant Roc twice in the past few years (each time for several nights), and it's always been a treat. Lovely, unique location and view, friendly staff, good-enough restaurant. It's a great place to relax. I hope to return soon. One tip: For a stay of two nights or less, go ahead and take the half-board option. For more than 3 nights, dine ala carte in the restaurant once or twice, then drive into the country for other lunches or dinners. (Skip most of the restaurants in the village.)

Can Serola is paradise! The setting is gorgeous. The hotel is is like a stone mansion decorated meticulously with beautiful art objects and interior decor. The estate has most everything with a beautiful pool, a hot tub, hiking trails, horses (I don't know if you can ride them), gardens etc. It is a perfect honeymoon location. It is so romantic. I would go back in a minute if I could!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff was friendly and efficient. The room was very comfortable. The Breakfast Buffet was varied and to say the least, delicious. It was convenient to the center, either by public transport or walking. This place ranks high on our list of hotels in which we have stayed at a very reasonable price.

The location is amazing. Very central. The hotel is clean and functional. Would go there again.

Lovely and clean, helpful reception staff, great bar with happy hour every night, bright modern clean and would highly recommend for couples or families.

Excellant hotel in terms of location and cleaness. Great clean town and train links to Barca are exc (every 1/2 hours) in clean, air con trains. Twon is clean a v cozy with lots of shops and resturant. The hotld is nearer to clubs and bars so if you are a light sleeper my advice will be to ask for not a sea view room (which I am sure you will miss). Will diff go back in the future

The hotel was clean, staff was helpful, it was close to the beach and it was very close to the center. The food was good.
