Hostal de la Gavina GL - The Leading Hotels of the World

Hostal de la Gavina GL - The Leading Hotels of the World is a 5-star hotel perched along the beachfront in Castell-Platja d'Aro, Spain. Just 1.9mi from the city center, this seaside retreat blends luxury with a relaxed Mediterranean vibe.

Facilities lean into luxurious coastal living: a spa and wellness program, a Spa area with Turkish/Steam Bath (free), sauna (free) and steam room, plus an indoor swimming pool (free) and outdoor swimming pool (free). Private parking and Wi‑Fi are free, a fitness center keeps workouts on track, and beach access comes with free umbrellas and loungers.

Address: Plaza de la Rosaleda S/N, Castell-Platja d'Aro, Spain. Located about 1.9mi from the city center. Reviews: 284.

From sunlit mornings to twilight strolls along the beachfront, this locale invites a playful sense of arrival. Seasonal indoor and outdoor pools provide splash-ready options, while the Spa area offers a Turkish/Steam Bath (free), a sauna (free), and a steam room for relaxing moments after a day by the sea. Beach access comes with free umbrellas and loungers, making it easy to while away the hours in a sun-kissed haze.

Culinary adventures span three distinctive places: Garbi Poolside Restaurant brings a family-friendly, modern vibe with Mediterranean and International flavors; El Barco and Garden Terrace serve Mediterranean and International dishes in a casual setting; and Candlelight By Romain Fornell offers a modern, romantic backdrop with Mediterranean and International cuisine. Each dining option contributes its own mood, from poolside al fresco to intimate candlelit evenings, all within easy reach of the sea breeze.

Practical touches add to the ease of travel: pets are welcome (charges may apply); private parking and Wi‑Fi are free; and a range of payment methods are accepted, including cash and major cards such as Diners Club, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Maestro. A welcoming, sea-breeze atmosphere makes it simple to unwind, explore nearby Castell-Platja d'Aro, and return to relaxing escapes after a day of seaside adventures.

Breakfast was great, classic.

Got a room right above the cafe which was very noise until 2am, fortunately I was changed for the next night. Was denied table for dinner until I complained and aparently hotel guests get priority due to lack of tables for dinner

The pool and the view of the beach

A little bit clubby. Obviously lots of people who go every year and know each other and a pool attendant who kept them seats in the mornings

excellent location, beautiful view, big rooms ( we were in a classic room), clean, many restaurants, the pool and the spa! all great

the service at the restaurant was terrible ! unfortunately! for a great hotel and 5 star hotel I was expecting much better service! they were forgetting the orders, bringing one plate at a time, forgetting the drinks, no napkins, extremely slow service to take the order etc et .

The team grows on you - very genuine, kind personalities who do their utmost to meet the requirements of guests. The property has the most beautiful location and views.

The bathtub was mysteriously absent from the bathroom. There was no flowers or fruits or champagne in the suite to welcome the guests. The spa is fundamentally mismanaged and lucks basics such as changing room amenities and drinking water in the steam room, pool and all areas. No teas, snacks, fruits or other fundamentals that would normally be available at any spa run within a luxury property.

We had a wonderful experience, since the moment we arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome and their hospitality was outstanding. One of the highlights of our stay was the fantastic breakfast offered by the hotel. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations, and the attentive staff ensured that I had everything I needed. The hotel itself is impeccable and super charming, and services provided were excellent across the board.

Hostal La Gavina is a great choice for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. While the rooms are spacious and pleasant, it is worth noting that certain aspects of the hotel's infrastructure, given its age of over 90 years, could benefit from refurbishment. In particular, the noise isolation could be improved by sealing the doors more effectively.

The staff were extremely friendly, especially at the hotel lobby. The outside restaurant staff had a hard time speaking English which made communications a little difficult but overall the staff were great.

Position, staff, view, grounds, - had such a happy trip.

The breakfast was great- we did not go to the expensive restaurant- the outside cafe was very limited for a light dinner - disappointing for an otherwise outstanding hotel.

good location, great breakfast and super comfortable rooms.

price is a bit to high for what you get, also we would get calls from reception every time we would be talking in our rooms asking us to stop talking, which is not what 5 star hotels do, imagine not being able to talk in your own 5 star hotel room.
