The location has already been written about but I will say it is in a prime location, on the beach, with no roads to cross. Many guests were taking their AI drinks with them onto the beach !
It is an older hotel but has been well looked after and spotlessly maintained. It is not up to 4* standard regarding the amenities and food but a good 3* My wife is a fussy eater but found something to eat at every meal time.
Do not go with expectations of a modern Spanish 4* and you will be happy, as long as the price is right. There are bargains to be had with daily flights into Girona and transfers easily found via the Internet. Be aware prices do vary. We paid under £200 each for flights, a week AI and transfers. This was out of season of course but very good holiday for a bargain price. I did hear of other guests paying up to £270 each for the same week, so a bit of time spent searching is worthwhile. We looked at other H Top hotels whilst out there but this is the best IMO.

We booked this hotel on the recommendations of the users on this website. As I regularly check it before booking’ I thought it would only be fair to submit my own review. The hotel was very modern (built 2001) and one of the cleanest I have been in. The room was spacious with a fridge that cost about 2 euros per day to rent. There were a number of Spanish pensioners staying also as they get a free holiday from their Government every year, but they were no problem and very polite. The food was very good and of a high quality, with also a number of Spanish dishes, mainly pork to cater for the locals. We paid £315 pounds for the week which is the equivalent to £45 per per night including breakfast and evening meal, great value. I would recommend this hotel especially as I am very fussy with cleanliness. Believe me,you won’t be disappointed.

We stayed in Planamar hotel for a week and was glad to get away, we went expecting nightly entertainment and there was none, the staff were moody and the only good thing is the free booze, on the web site, it stated nightly entertainment, there was also no holiday rep and was dissapointed as we still went on holiday looking for things to do and there was no one to help unless we asked the hotel staff which shouldnt happen on a holiday, there should be a rep no matter what time of the year it is, my partner is a vegetarian and was digusted at the food as all she eat for the whole week was bread rolls and past with sauce and maybe some salad which isnt fair and all i was eating was coldish chips bred rolls and pasta really, the aggs were not cooked properly and looked like see through snot, to be honest it was a nice break but it didnt feel like a holiday much which was a shame. You will like this hotel if you like sitting down staring at everything with a drink all the time, but if you like to do things then there is not much to choose from.
