We had an upgrade and the room was amazing. The bed was the most comfortable one we had been given in 2 weeks of travelling and we slept very well. The food for dinner and breakfast was superb. The ambience was fantastic, the property beautifully renovated and it was safe and quiet. The dog had pleanty of room and he also settled very well which was unusual but fantastic.
Outside we sat looking over the millpond, and saw turtles, a snake (not harmful) ducks and fish. It was a lovely afternoon spent sitting in the shade sipping wine and chilling out.

L'Escala is a quiet beach resort with mostly French tourists (some staff had limited English but were very friendly and willing to help, and welcoming with children!). The Riells beach is large and clean with soft sand, there is a smaller beach in the nearby Old Town. It can be windy. The funfair/amusement park is not open until June. A car is useful, but there is also a tourist train going to Montgo beach and Empuries medieval village (both beautiful!)

a very beautiful town, some places reminded Greece, white houses, clear sea, seagulls everywhere. Water was cold in May but lots of people swam. Long promenade along the beaches, full of restaurants and bars for any taste, lots of rocks by the shore for kids to climb on.
Centre of the village isn't accessible for cars, so we had to carry luggage with us from the parking.
We stayed in the centre, it is lively until very late in the evening, lots of people and dogs walking, kids playing.
We liked all restos we ate at, maybe Glop was overrated, we had to reserve table in advance and it was nothing special at all, burger wasn't great. Italian place Tagliatella was much better, thinnest crust pizzas I ever tried

L'Escala is a lovely town, we stayed in the old town at the northern end which has more charm and ambience that the newer part near the port which is more like a standard resort with large holiday apartment blocks. The standard of the restaurants in general is very good. To really appreciate the locality it probably is best to hire a car. However, it is possible to enjoy visiting L'Escala without one also. We visited Figures, Girona, the Roman and Greek ruins in Empuries and also the pretty little village of St. Marti D'Empuries without a car.

This was my fifth visit to l'Escala.
This was my fifth visit to l'Escala. A lovely town, great for walking/cycling excursions. Lots of beaches, woodland and the ruins of Empuries. Coastal walks to the south, old coastal defence bunkers, secluded coves...there's plenty to do and see here. A wide variety of restaurants and bars, all within easy walking distance. Well worth visiting.

Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling.
Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling. The deep sea offers you various kind of fish who just do not escape from you. I had also seen this kind of fish friendship in Hurgada (Egypt). Very nice spot to moore for yachts. The next time I'll hire a yacht and moore in this bay. The nature is wild, windy and mostly rocky. The only sand is accumulated inside the bay where people enjoy sunbathing and swimming. The vicinity of L'Escala is plenty of attractions. One can climb to tower of Montgo (Torre de Montgo) to see the bay from high. Spectacular view. The restaurant Can Miquel is one of the best in the bay, but one needs to make a booking at least from 2-3 days before to take a table in outside.

So much to do, with many little beaches, beautiful old town and newer further along the cove. Restaurants and bars are a plenty! Great for kids with lots of fun things happening in the summer months but also fab for just you :)
Staff very friendly. The room had everything and was very comfortable. Swimming pool was excellent. Life guard on duty during swimming pool use at the hotel, reassuring for pool users. Pool table and a relaxation area for guests available for reading etc. Breakfast was good, only item missing from the breakfast is the addition of eggs, in my opinion, even boiled eggs and this would make the breakfast selection much better. Great location right near a beautiful beach and the park is also right beside the hotel.
This was our second visit and we still loved everything about this hotel. Mariona and Matthew are perfect hosts, the room was delightful with a little balcony and sea view. Breakfasts were delicious. L'Escala is a beautiful place and this hotel is the icing on the cake.
The restaurant downstairs is also excellent.
Very nice hotel in the middle of the old town. Location perfect - down the street, there are a lot of restaurants and a beach. Very comfortable bed mattress. Free of charge parking. Our room No. 106 was with quite a big balcony. Good breakfast.
We liked hotel so much that we stayed one night more.
Direct access to the beach. A few beach bars and restaurants within walking distance. There was a lovely little bar at the hotel which we used most nights. We were Able to walk into L’escala, it was a fair walk but we jumped on the little train on the way back.
The 2 gentlemen (at the reception - I think they are the owners), are so kind and attentive. Everytime we have stayed there, we felt comfortable and they have done their best to attend our needs. The hotel is very clean and super close to the beach.
The view from the room was marvelous. Thee spread for the buffet breakfast and dinner was splendid. There was such a great positive vibe about the hotel. The abundance of fresh air and sunlight really gives it a very pleasant atmosphere
Location was great. Hotel staff was really friendly and good. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was really really nice and people were flexible enough to serve the breakfast after the designated time of closing.
The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the center on the waterfront. Nice room, with shower and toilet. Heating (in winter) can be adjusted to your liking. Very friendly staff.
wonderful welcome, family run hotel to a very high standard. gorgeous room, very comfortable beds, excellent shower. short walk to the town beach and great restaurants. thank you
Room was fine. Beds were very good. Views of the sea are limited by several buildings. We stayed in late Spring, the area was very quiet, but probably a lot busier in Summer
The hotel was great, the location is wonderful and the views were amazing. There is a parking right next door. The staff was very friendly, breakfast was excellent.
