Charming property and a great price for a killer location, right in between the beach and an endless selection of restaurants. The wifi wasn't very good from either our room or the lobby, but my goal was to get away from work anyway. Also, unlimited mimosas with breakfast :)

Room and location of hotel near beach was great. Breakfast was very nice as was service by most of staff. Only significant complaints were lack of nearby parking and hotel management inability to extend hotel check out time even 30 minutes despite fact that my girlfriend was ill.

Lovely

The staff are really friendly and helpful. It is a really pretty hotel however the view from our room was not that great. Great location, however parking is an issue and is very expensive when you use the hotel's. The swimming pool area is very well presented. Breakfast was excellent apart from the revolting spread they use.

Fantastic Staff

We had a lovely time at Els Pins - the staff are amazing - I left my bag in the cab on the way from the airport to the hotel and they bent over backwards helping me get it back. Always smiling and absolutely wonderful! The hotel is basic - it has just about what you need for a vacation but could do with a few hooks on the back of doors to hang stuff up, a few more drawers - but other than that - great! The breakfast was fantastic - every kind of European breakfast catered for from scrambled eggs and bacon to fizzy stuff and cake! - and you could eat inside the restaurant or outside under the Pine tree. The pool was lovely with the bar overlooking it so you could have lunch lazing by it or just a coffee on the way back from the beach. Everything was beautifully clean. The actual area was great - come out of the hotel and turn left and you are 100 yards from the beach with lifeguards, little shops and beach front restaurants and bars. Turn left and you are minutes walk from the main shopping strip with more restaurants and bars. The market on Fridays was great too. Taxis or buses to the other smaller villages were easy to get, and everything was flat - no hills within the town - great for me because I went on holiday with crutches. The hotel has a lift too! All you need within walking distance - from pharmacies to ice cream shops and beach front cafes. Brilliant. I would most definitely go there again. Lovely holiday. Thank you everyone at Els Pins xx
