Girona Hotels - Catalonia

If your ever travelling around Catalonia and need a good central base the Sidorme** Girona - Figueres Hotel could be just the place!
This 2 star hotel only built this year looks rather 'square' from the outside but the rooms - of which there 82, are very spacious with king size beds and flat screen TV's.
The hotel is 3km from the town of Figueres (the birth place of Salvador Dali) and 17 km from the resort of Roses.
Average nightly prices for November with bed & continental buffet style breakfast are only ₤68 (per room, not each!)
I found details of this hotel on the Hotelsonline web site, which I have used many times my self and always found them very helpful!

Lloret de Mar - Hotel Samba

The Hotel Samba*** which is a very good hotel with 441 rooms in a good area, within walking distance to either Lloret or Fenals. It has good views all over Lloret.
It seems they have now made vast differences to some of their rooms. Looking through their website I found they now have Silver and Gold suites!

Silver amenities are...large room with extra large double bed, air con and heating, bathroom with shower, hot tub, sat TV and balcony with panoramic views.
Gold amenities are...2mtr x 2mtr bed, 42'' plasma TV, phone, jacuzzi and mini bar!

Barcelona Hotels...from 30 euros a night.

When it comes to spending a day or so Barcelona the cost of a night in a hotel is enough to put anybody off! but it is possible to pay from just 30 euro per night.
All kinds of accommodation etc are available on the 'Barcelona30' web site.
A very reasonable price is the ultra modern 'Praktic' prices here start at 37.50 euro per night.

Cheap Holiday's in Lloret

I have come across 2 bargain holidays for a weeks stay in Lloret. The Hotel Norai ** is offering a 7 night B&B for two people at a total cost of £134 (not each!) checking in on 7thOct. This hotel consists of 40 rooms on 4 floors with a lift. 24hr reception desk with cafe-bar, restaurant, dining room and air con. Rooms have private bathroom with Sat TV, phone and heating.
The next bargain is at the Almirall Apartments at a total cost of £138.60, all rooms have bathroom, Sat TV, air con, fridge and balcony. Situated right opposite the beach in Lloret the Almirall is central for all Lloret's amenities! Both hotels can be found on the DIY Travel site.

Alva Park - Lloret de Mar

The classiest place to stay in Lloret has got to be the Alva Park Resort & Spa. Being included in the list of 'The Leading Small Hotels of the World' ... makes it one of the most exclusive hotels in the world! Prices range from 500 - 2,500 euro per night!!
A week away from it all here in the most expensive suite would cost 17,500 euro. It makes you wonder just you'll find as you walk up the red carpeted steps outside and enter through the large 'gleaming' glass doors at the entrance.

Savoy Hotel - Lloret

While I have been looking through the various hotel websites to try find some bargains of which to tell you about, I so far haven't seen anything other than the one which I published on my Lloret stuff blog.
One thing I have noticed is how varied these websites are! One of the best I have come across is for the Savoy Hotel in Fenals. It gives all the information their visitors could ever want, from the views of local beaches and country- side to news of any events taking place locally. The photos taken in the hotel and out in the grounds are excellent!
It is possible to book on line for either bed/breakfast, half board or full.

It even tells you when the meal times are !!
