We booked this 3 weeks before departure and got a fantastic deal we thought it was very good value for money.

Rooms are nice and a good size, TV, heating, lots of storage and comfortable beds. Bathroom a good size, very clean, hairdryer, free samples and nice clean towels which were changed every day.

Reception was nice and big and the staff were very helpful and spoke fantastic English.

Food was a bit hit and miss, don't expect an English fry-up, you get the Spanish alternative. There is always something to eat however picky you are but if you're really fussy then you shouldn't be half board. Dinner was good, a great salad selection, soup and hot meals. Remember they have to cater for lots of Spanish and German visitors too so it won't always be English meals. However the meals were hot and nice. Puddings are good too - lots of choice.

The only downside is the same in all halfboard/all inclusive hotels in that there are masses of people and not everyone joins the queue. Certain people liked to push in and generally wonder around getting in the way!

The hotel is in a good position, yes it's on a main road but it's a 10 min walk from the centre which is good and you're near the water park and bus stop for getting around the neighbouring resorts.

All in all we enjoyed our time here, nice hotel, nice rooms, good food, friendly staff - what more could you want?

Well we booked with teletext on a last minute booking. We didnt have transfers but were told it would only cost 12 Euros for a cab. We found out that it would have cost 45 E. However when we arrived at the airport we managed to get a coach and the driver charged us 10 E and they took us to the hotel.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the hotel itself was very clean. The room was also lovely and cleaned every day. The only downside was the smell of smoke. The smell seemed to come through the walls into the room where others were smoking.

The food was good but it was all the same stuff. We went to a little cafe over the road which did a wonderful breakfast. Real bacon!!! those that have already been to an all inclusive hotel will know what I mean by that.

The weather on the week that we went wasn't very good but we still managed to have a wonderful time. I thought we had excellent value for our money we paid

The hotel in the communal areas was very clean, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful, the food hall was very clean, the choice on the salad bar was very good, the main meals could have been a bit more selective, sometimes the meat was a bit chewy, there was quite a selection of desserts plus fresh fruit. The breakfast in the morning was something and nothing, there was toast,rolls,cereal etc cooked breakfast was sort of edible, the lunchtime meal was better, would not say the food was 4 star quality, more like 2 star.

The location of the hotel was good across from plenty of shops and the main town was only about 10 minutes away, the staff were friendly,helpful,the entertainment in the evenings could have been better, if you got children they will love the mini disco, for what we paid it was worth it.

The only downfall is that every where in the hotel except for the dining area was very smoky, they have not got a none smoking section, we do not smoke so found it very uncomfortable you got to run the gauntlet of death to get pass the smoke, the swimming pools were very clean, the indoor pool was very clean it was very quiet, the rooms were very clean, the maid came in everyday, clean towels, the maids do a very good job.

We were very much on a chill out holiday. The atmosphere in the hotel was very friendly and the staff brilliant.

There was always plenty of choice in the restaurants so you could always find something to your taste.

The rooms were always kept spotlessly clean as were the communal areas.

Out of the four pools, we only went in one but the pool areas were all very good.

Some of the entertainment left a bit to be desired but when catering for all age groups it can be difficult.

The only down side of the holiday were some of the English guests who seemed to have left their manners in the UK.

There did seem to be a tremendous amount of waste, both food and drink, which is a great shame.

This was my 21 month old babies first holiday and I must say for the amount we paid it was a decent hotel.
The hotel was spotless; the toilets were immaculate all the time.
Some people have whinged about the food but I thought the food was good, maybe the meat was a bit chewy at times, the salad bar was excellent and twice during the week that had a carvery on
Id you like a cooked breakfast on your holiday the only thing I thought were ok were the diced potatoes and beans, there was a good choice of healthier options too
The food wasn

Our stay was adequate. Despite all the reviews we read concerning this hotel, we booked because it was a last minute type vacaction for our family.

The location of the hotel was above average; not in the hustle and bustle of the city center (where only the 18-25 yr olds survive), but off to the side near some great restaurants and grocery store.

The staff and customer service were second to known, considering this is a moderate hotel with some of the rudeness guests, we can only imagine the challenges. On several incidents I noticed staff trying diligently to locate parents of little "lost" guests while Moms and Dads were enjoying the all-inclusive bar and pool.

Good thing is the hotel environment is quite safe and lots of activities for the children. Entertainment, while corny in some respects - was actually very good.

Concerning the food, not the best but not the worst either. I was disappointed in the guests as they seem to pile their plates with food only to end up throwing it away. The waste was disgracful. The selection was good and one could always find something worthwhile on the buffet line. One day they offered shrimp and the guests grabbed by the handfull and overfilled their plates again. Our son Chris asked I mention breakfast was awful - but he's a picky eater and the other three (Kyle, Kelsey and Jeylon) managed the morning meal just fine. Failsafe is their are wonderful restaurants out the front door and reasonably priced.

Drinks were a great bargain. Sodas, juices, coffee, and of course the booze flowed throughout the day. Again, the waste from the guests was awful. The staff was forever picking up half full glasses at vacant tables.

Our overall take on the food and beverage was if their wasn't so much waste by the guests the hotel could possibly increase the quality of the food. Don't really see that happening.

Concerning the cleanliness. Yes, all the other comments about the maid service is right on. They continually work throughout the day and evening picking up the various areas. Overall, the place stays quite clean and presentable.

While we stated we would return to the hotel, the Lloret de Mar location was not a place for families. Our teenage boys loved the place, understandably because the town is a mini Daytona Beach atmosphere, but for families it would be best to go 5 minutes south to Blanes or a nearby beach village.

Reception and lounge areas are impressive. Spacious with squashy leather sofas and good air conditioning. Lifts were reliable and plentiful. Reception staff speak English and our check-in was fast and efficient. Service good.
Bedrooms; the air conditioning was great, and the rooms were spacious and adequately equipped. They were spotless, as was every part of the hotel. Only one pillow was supplied per bed, but extra were brought to our rooms on request. Our rooms overlooked the back of the hotel and some scrub land, so were very quiet. I imagine the rooms overlooking the pools and above the bars would have been a little noisy.
Maid service; excellent. Beds were made early each morning and towels and loo rolls replenished. Sheets were changed every three days.
Public area toilets were always spotless and well-stocked, even the poolside ones.
Bars; spacious and comfortable, service fast and friendly, although the two drinks per adult card/ two cards per customer rule can be overdone, especially when, in our case, two of the five drinks we always wanted for our party were water! Cocktails of the day could be very odd! Avoid Sunday

We are just a couple, no children. We found the hotel and rooms to be clean. It was in a ok location, not far(5 min walk) from the better beach in lloret. We used the beach most off the time as the pool side was packed. Both pools. We took advantage of the picknick when we were at the beach, it was ok.
The food and restauant, were a bit like canteen food. But by the end of our holiday we were enjoying it more. We did see some familys where the children just ate chipbuttys for every corse, so the food can't that good but as I say we found it to be good(ok). The wine is horible, we drank the beer(nice) with our meals. We ate out on the last night, I got food poisning. so we should have stayed in the hotel.
The entertainment was from my point of view crap. But we were just a couple as I say. The kids seemed to have fun till about midnight.
The bars and staff(all hotel staff) all were nice friendly. It was easy to get a drink(some reviews said it was a bit of a prob), you don't have to wait long!
We had a very good holiday. Would not go back, but that is more to do with Lloret than the hotel.
It did take us a day or so to get in the swing of it but when you do you will have a good time. We did.

We stayed in the Royal Star hotel for an all inclusive holiday during the first week of the school holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel was spotless they were cleaning it all the time and we got fresh sheets and towels everyday. The maids were pleasant and always said hello when you passed them, reception staff were very helpful, bar staff well you had the nice ones, there was one who entertained the kids by trying to catch ice (he thought he was Tom Cruise in cocktail!!!!!!!) most of it went on the floor but he was always a good laugh, you also had a couple of grumpy old farts!!!! but on the whole they were pleasant.
The food was not al-a-carte but as a family we managed to fill our bellys everynight, (we are not fussy eaters at all and found because of this there was always something to eat, we did hear a few people maoning but to be honest this hotel is one of the cheapest all inclusive hotels ive seen, so if its not to your taste there are a few good restaurants just across the road, we met a great family there and on our last night decided to go out for a meal there.
The entertainment is ok, the kids in the hotel tended to get up dancing etc and we had a good laugh at some of the acts which were on.
To be honest we did not use the pool this was mainly due to when you got down to the pool most of the sunbeds were taken apart from close to the hotel which are fine but this only gets the sun till two or three then it dissapears over the hotel.- We tended to stick to the Platje de fenals beach.
We had a really good time and would definately recommend this hotel.
