Hotel GHT Costa Brava & Spa

Family of 2 adults and 2 teens visited for 6 nights at the end of August. Approx 2.5hrs coach transfers from Barcelona. Would recommend private taxi. Coach transfers drops at main bus station which is approx 8min walk to hotel. Hotel on the outer of the town rather than the busy centre, within 5 mins walk to the beach, restaurants and bars and 10 mins to the main centre and castle. Super friendly staff, especially reception and the live cooking chef who always had a cheery greeting for everyone at breakfast and dinner. She is so lovely. Spa access included was great, with a steam room, experience showers, experience pool, jacuzzi and heated loungers. Hit and miss on how busy but we used with ease a fair bit. Nice size pool with plenty of loungers, no massive morning rush or saving of loungers and they get good sun coverage. Rooms a good size, with TV, balcony, bath with shower over. Daily housekeeping where required. Bathrooms equipped with shower gel, shampoo, hand-wash and a vanity tray with comb, soap, tooth care and various other packets. Food was of a good varied buffet style offering, cooked breakfast items on the live cooking with cereals and fruit, pastries, breads and cakes, cold meats, cheese, salads, jams. Dinners were themed night each night with live cooking station, plus again with cold meats, cheese and salad, pasta option each day, chips or similar, various breads, 2 main dishes and sides. Standard desert selections. We had one fussy beige eater with us and he managed to always find things to eat, the only day he struggled was the seafood/fish themed night. Evening entertainment inside bar lounge, very lo key. Good range of local and international drink brands served speedily by the bar staff. Only negative were the beds were so firm verging on hard which resulted in an uncomfortable nights sleep, could also have done with a second pillow. Pool table entertained the teens along with table tennis. There was a mini club but with older kids we didn't use so can pass no comment but looked thw standard day offering with the usual mini disco before late eve entertainment. Absolutely have no quarms in recommending, would absolutely go back.
