Spain is one of the most attractive.resort countries. Here are collected unique places suitable for a beach holiday. If we talk about the Costa Brava, then in this place is one of the best beaches in the Mediterranean. In addition, here you can also find a large number of historical monuments of culture and art, especially if we recall that the Costa Brava is just an hour’s drive from Barcelona. If you have already decided on a trip here, then first of all you need to choose a hotel. Perhaps you will suit the one-star hotel Castella 1 *.
Гостиница расположилась в Коста-Браве, городе Lloret de Mar. But there is no own airport here, so you can only get here through nearby Barcelona. The capital of Catalonia is located 40 minutes from the Costa Brava. Barcelona can be reached by plane. A flight from Moscow will cost about $ 400, and the flight will take about four hours. From Barcelona Airport you can go to the Hotel Castella 1 * by bus or by taxi. The first method seems to be cheaper, but also longer. Taxi will take you faster, and the conditions will be much more comfortable bus. If you like trains, then the Costa Brava can also be reached by train, which regularly runs between the coast and Barcelona. But this method can be the most time-consuming, because the gap between two electric trains is more than an hour, and from the station one must also go additionally to the hotel on their own.
Relax in the walls of a one-star hotel can beseveral places. The first is an outdoor pool. Here are the loungers, where you can get a good tan. The water in the pool is always clean and clear, as the hotel’s employees change it daily. The leaders also took care of the children. For them, a playground, as well as a shallow pool, where you can leave them without risk. If there is no desire to stay in the hotel for a long time, then you can go to the Mediterranean coast. The beaches of the Costa Brava are considered to be among the best in the whole world, so you can always meet a large number of people who want to swim in the sea. There is also a developed network of entertainment for guests. Many of them can go water-skiing or "banana", as well as dive to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and see all the beauty that lies in the foot of the Costa Brava seaside cliffs. On site you can also play table tennis or billiards, if swimming in the pool is already bored.
The range of services that is provided in Castella1 * is certainly different from what is available for occupying four- or five-star hotels. But it is quite large for a one-star establishment. There is no parking for cars, so if you plan to rent it, then this hotel will not work for you, or you will have to look for parking somewhere near the hotel. Internet is wired, and to use it, you must pay an additional fee. In other words, this service is something like an Internet cafe with a large number of computers. In order to keep important documents or expensive items intact, you can use the safe rental service at the time of arrival. This service is also paid, but the costs are justified, and you will always be sure that your belongings are safe.
The hotel practically stands out from the rangeother buildings in the area. The building itself is a cube, which is painted in yellow light and surrounded by white balconies. The hotel has five floors. The first of them has a restaurant, rooms for workers, as well as public lounges. All other floors are fully reserved for rooms. The hotel’s location is very appealing because the beach is only 250 meters away. That is why there is no need to relax by the pool, because it is better to go to the sandy beach of the Costa Brava. Another interesting fact about the hotel is that it is located near the center of Lloret de Mar. Therefore, to go to any part of the city, you do not need to spend a lot of time.
As in many other hotels, in Castella 1 *(Costa Brava) has its own restaurant where you can taste very tasty Spanish dishes. As a rule, a buffet is organized here, which allows visitors to choose the food they like. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Usually in the morning cold snacks are served in the form of sandwiches, as well as fried eggs and fried bacon. Those people who prefer healthier foods can take fruits, which are on the table a lot. Lunch and dinner in the hotel restaurant are paid. Therefore, if there is no desire to be here, then nothing prevents you from going beyond Castella 1 * (Spain, Lloret de Mar) and looking into one of the restaurants nearby. In the local small restaurants take care of every visitor, so you can confidently count on a dish of only the freshest ingredients. In addition to the restaurant, the hotel also has a bar, where you can find a very diverse range of alcoholic beverages.
Based on the size of the hotel and the amountrooms (74), which it offers to its visitors, we can conclude that it is in the category of medium hotels. At the entrance to the room you will be given a key from a small room of 20 square meters. Inside you can find one double bed with drawers on both sides. Opposite is a dresser with a mirror. Not far from the bed you can find the door leading to the bathroom. The hotel is one-star, so you should not expect unnecessarily comfortable rooms with flat-screen TVs and air conditioning. In general, the rooms are quite comfortable, and there is no feeling that they need repairs.
The cost of living in this room isseventy dollars. Of course, this price is not comparable with other resort countries of the Mediterranean (Turkey, Montenegro, Cyprus), but relative to other hotels it is justified.
What can be feedback from people vacationing inSpain? Of course, only positive, even if the hotel that they chose did not have all the advantages that they expected. In this regard, it is worth noting the positive qualities that were mentioned by tourists when describing the Hotel Castella 1 *. Reviews show that in this hotel is very friendly and responsible staff who will always help in case of any incidents. Many of the tourists came to the liking of the pool, which is located in the backyard of the hotel. Among the negative sides there are only very small room sizes, as well as the absence of a TV. True, the last minus turned out to be a big plus, since the tourist was able to spend the time watching TV potential for a walk around the city.
As a result, we get quite a decent hotel, whichputs the convenience of its guests at the fore. Settling in this hotel, you get an excellent opportunity to quickly move to the beach, and a chance to explore the entire town called Lloret de Mar up and down.
