my wife and I can’t even begin to describe how breathtakingly beautiful Hostal de La Gavina is - both the views and the people working at the hotel. We had our wedding here and the staff here made sure that we never picked up a bag, always had everything fresh, and were always ready to answer any call we had. Our guests (which were somewhere between 80-90 people at the hotel specifically) walked away with nothing but amazing things to say about the hotel, the staff, the views, amenities, EVERYTHING. If I could give this review six stars I would, and we are already planning a trip back so we can enjoy more of S’Agaro and what the hotel offers!

What an amazing place! We came for a friend’s wedding and were blown away by every aspect of this place. The staff is so incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. Whether you are looking for a wedding venue or just a vacation away, this is the place - look no further. 10/10 experience, not one critique.

Really lovely hotel if you like good old fashioned riviera glamour. We stayed for 2 nights and throughout our stay the staff were all really lovely and attentive. I asked to borrow a steamer for my dress and it was with us within minutes. The main "gastronomic" restaurant was closed both nights were were there. We ate on the lawn/terrace the first night. The food was good, although the service was a little slow but it seemed like that was a function of the fact the main restaurant was closed as they were very busy and it seemed some staff on the terrace weren't that familiar with their systems. The second night we had dinner at the Taverna del Mar (related but outside of the resort) which was excellent. Will review that separately. The walk around the cliffs was really lovely with some incredible views and lots of info on the old hollywood links of the place.

This 200 hindered year old Hotel is nestled atop the Beach of Platja De San Pol. It offers an incredible view of the bay and beaches below that are only minutes on foot. Inside the hotel is classically decorated in time appropriate furniture bringing you back in time to the 1800’s. You room however will be tastefully updated with modern amenities and current comforts. I highly recommend above all else to book reservations anywhere you want to eat, as most restaurants are at capacity prior to your arrival. There’s plenty of options to eat, relax, and shop! The service here is impeccable with all hotel staff eager to serve in anyway possible. If you love days at the pool, they offer a massive infinity edge pool cliffside with a stunning view. The food menu at the pool is very limited, but mostly bar service focused. The seating is ample so no need to rush to reserve seats, unless you are wanting a private Cabana with your own shower and restroom I’d book those ahead. The area is charming and mostly filled with Spanish locals taking holiday and second home owners that visit for the summer. I highly recommend this as a destination stay, and you have options to visit great Medieval Towns like Girona and Begur for day trips.

Worst hotel that we’ve ever been to! It’s a complete dump and looks NOTHING like their website. The reception area is old and underwhelming & the rooms are even worst! This isn’t a luxury hotel at all!! It’s smells disgusting and our room smelled musty. We’d never go back there again. Save your money! We ended up eating at Villa Mas and visiting a nicer hotel for food, drinks and ambiance! The food was inedible at Hostel La Gavina. This hotel is a 2 at best. Look at the beat up furniture and hideous decor in our room. What a disgrace!

Old school charm and spanish grandeur. The gardens and pool area enjoy great views. The Candelight restaurant and also the Garbi pool restaurant are both excellent. Services is formal and staff staff will do their best to help with anything you may need.
