“Lovely hotel, shame about some of the guests”

Just returned from an 11 night stay in Xaine Park hotel in Lloret de Mar.

Just returned from an 11 night stay in Xaine Park hotel in Lloret de Mar. First impressions were great, lovely sized room (308) at the rear of the hotel, check in was quick and efficient, paid the room tax and €50 plus a €10 refundable deposit for a room safe, the Aircon was free for the stay so that really was a bonus and we did need it! Nice comfy beds and clean room, bathroom was a little dated especially after seeing some of the refurbished ones, but perfectly serviceable. Nice powerful shower with constant hot water. Balcony faces another hotel, so not really secluded, but quite entertaining to people watch on occasion! The hotel really is right in the centre of the strip, it is a little boisterous and noisy especially in the evenings and early hours of the morning, but most of the sound is muffled by keeping the doors closed. Only a couple of minor gripes, the room was not very bright, and was in need of a ceiling light really, and it could certainly do with a couple of extra plug sockets, in this rechargable generation, but we made do. Only other thing I missed a little was a small fridge to keep a drink cool, but again we made do. Our stay was bed and breakfast, and the breakfast seemed to cater for all nationalities, a few odd inclusions made us Brits giggle, (mixed veg, green beans, churros, chicken nuggets) but could always find something tasty to start our day from the extensive and varying breakfast menu. We caught the end of the European students tour with huge groups of young European teens staying at this hotel and the surrounding ones. On the whole we were lucky and they respected others day and night time, keeping most of the noise on the streets and not in the hotel. Into the second week and we were unlucky enough to encounter a few noisy neighbours and the perpetual furniture movers which was a shame, and led to a few restless nights, most of these were old enough to know better too! one particular intoxicated neighbour tried knocking the door off the room next door at 4am, after mislaying his keycard, but a disgruntled me soon told him with a few choice words to "be quiet". The shock of a 54 year old man opening the door in his pants seemed to do the trick, and to his credit he apologised to my wife the next morning over the balcony and we never heard him again. All the staff we encountered we helpful and friendly, always a cheery hola from the maids. A special mention for Kevin, the entertainment provider who does a very good job getting people doing things together during the afternoons and evenings, and he is a thoroughly nice guy, my wife and I had a lovely chat with him in a quiet moment one afternoon after a game of darts! All in all we certainly got value for money from our stay for the price, and if we ever stayed in Lloret again would certainly consider another stay here

I chose the Xaine park because of the location right In the middle of the main street, we were so glad we did. The room on the 6th floor was clean and tidy, a really comfortable bed. We had the half board option the breakfast was really good but the evening buffet was wonderful every evening the same, fresh and well cooked by the chefs who were always on hand to answer any questions. All of the staff at this hotel were very helpful friendly and efficient. We will return to this hotel on our next visit to lloret de mar.

“Not bad for price”

We arrived at the hotel to be told we couldn't check in for 4 hours, not a problem went out sightseeing.

We arrived at the hotel to be told we couldn't check in for 4 hours, not a problem went out sightseeing. Once we came to checking in we were allocated 7th floor rooms even though I had asked for ground floor due to person in our group having disability and not able to walk the stairs, staff were great and quickly resolved the issue offering a first floor double room which was even better. The rooms were large and clean, they even had extra blankets incase you got cold. The showers were hot and powerful. We booked fullboard and this was a let down, there was lots of choice but the food was cold and it didn't matter if you went as soon as restaurant opened or later still the same cold food. Whilst we were there it rained all day so we booked the private jacuzzi, all excited and enter the room which was warm, however the jacuzzi was like doing the ice bucket challenge it was that cold. I did ask reception if it was meant to be freezing and was told it should be mediocre. Overall can't complain, the location was great for us. I wouldn't book full board again
