Els Llorers Apartaments

Great apartments, we saw all the bad reviews about this place before we came so we was disappointed before we even arrived. It just goes to show that once you've tried it yourself you realise it's fussy people. The hotel is basic but a good basic. Has everything you need. They bring towels every 3 days of your stay and toilet roll. This place is located on a hill with the last stretch being very steep. There is a shuttle service available every hour 10am until 6 but we chose to walk, we got it down once and back once to the beachfront in town. We came down around 620pm and it had finished but the guy (with the glasses, my apologies for not knowing your name) still took us down. Great friendly helpful staff. We ate at the apartments a couple of times. The burgers are very good. We ordered starters and a main, the only thing I'd say was quite disappointing is that they all come out together. The pool is very good for kids. The slides, the sunbeds are always full but there's a pool up the top of the resort that's really quiet. They charged me 16.80 tax when I arrived which I wasn't aware of so bare that in mind, also there's a 50 euro holding fee for the room that gets returned once you check out. Everything based on the apartment was good. The transfer however through sunshine holidays was terrible. I booked an earlier flight, we landed at 3pm. We had to wait until 5pm for the shuttle to wait for our original flight, to be told its a 2 hour transfer. It took 3 hours 20. It picked us up at 4am and we wasn't flying back home until 940am. Hopefully we will return again in the near future. Thankyou guys

We had a good few days here in October as a disconnect holiday via Wowcher. We had booked a superior sea view room but we ended up being upgraded to the main block next to the pool area. Access to which was possible through a gate in the fence. Green soft AstroTurf everywhere which makes walking in bare feet very pleasant. The transfer from the airport drops & picks you up from down a hill which leaves you grateful for the hourly free minibus to & from the town between 1000 & 1800 (last bus back). This bus picks up & drops off just at the reception steps. Rooms are large (6 people with a pull out sofa in our case). Very well equipped for cooking, a cupboard door looked shabby though. Coffee machine & a 700 watt microwave. Matches for the gas hob. There's a lift but I don't know if a wheelchair could fit into it. Towels are freely exchanged everyday via a ticket system. Either you have a towel or a ticket. Plenty of sunbeds & pool seems nice & clean. Karaoke most evenings with room 01 being close enough to have the bass rattle the windows! Free WiFi, clean & well presented. Tourist tax is payable as is a €50 deposit against damages which was refunded promptly upon departure. Luggage room available & a card is given to you to use the bar area before the pickup.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of a wowcher holiday, ignore the bad reviews as you get what you pay for here and we were very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel! The staff were very kind and helpful and helped us organise taxis whenever we needed. We didn't use the pool as it wasn't the weather for it but it looks very good for kids. We didn't use the kitchen other than the microwave but there was a bottle opener in the room so we had everything we needed!! I would recommend this hotel to others and would come back here again! Breakfast buffet wasn't the best but it did the job and being far away from other bits it was easy!

Rooms are super basic but served their purpose, although we had NO AIR CON WHATSOEVER SO THE ROOM WAS ABSOLUTELY BOILING ALL WEEK TO THE POINT OUR CHILDREN DID NOT SLEEP THROUGH. They are very spacious though. Could do with an oven, not just gas hobs (supplied by a gas bottle under worktop). Did find lots of hairs in the bedding, but this was minor on the scale of things. Reception service no issues. Bar is lovely and modern, although prices are higher here, mainly due to the location as it is 20 minutes walk to the nearest other bar so you have to pay it, but the food is lovely, again slightly pricier than usual. Overall the food and drinks are great, fresh tasty food and no issues on the drinks either. The hotel/apartments are located at the top of a very steep hill that is not accessible via coach, our Jet2 coach dropped us off 2 streets away.. was difficult with a double pushchair with kids of course and X2 22kg cases, but we got there. Pool area is lovely and great for the kids! There is a smaller pool area (see photo) that was unused during our stay, but a larger and more accommodating pool area that we used near the bar area. Plenty of sun beds, but these go very fast! Very clean areas. Daily kids entertainment/club/activities on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (non on Mon, Tue or weds), but this is super basic mind. Would stay here again but not with young children due to the steep hill. They do provide a free hourly shuttle mini-van that goes to the nearest supermarket and then to the main beach end. As I said, this is hourly and picks you up at the drop off points, it runs from 0830 until 2200.. but we only seen the van move a few times during our weeks stay. Overall a lovely little hotel, very quiet area due to being out of the way. Be wary of bar staff making up the prices.. 1st night we needed milk a got charged €5.20 for a carton of UHT milk!! The last night we needed it again and it was €3.00.

Just returned from a seven night stay. ||I’ll jump to the negatives as unfortunately, these outweighed the positives for us. ||Noise - terrible at night and we constantly had broken, disrupted sleep. We paid for premium sea view rooms which were directly above the restaurant. The hotel had a zero noise policy after 10pm but the music and noise went on until circa 11.30pm. Following this was noise of people returning to rooms, kids screaming, doors banging, bottle banks being emptied in the small hours. Walls are thin. ||The hotel has no double glazing and doors banging and clashing all day long. ||Cleaning - I was surprised that there was absolutely no cleaning throughout the week. We had to ask for changes over bedsheets and towels on day 4. The bathroom was in need of a clean after a few days and no products to help with this. Bin bags were left to replace the first but these were tiny and didn’t fit the kitchen bin. ||I found black hairs over the apartment and across the towels which did not come from our party. ||Staff - with the exception of the cleaners and one other staff member, staff at this hotel really could improve their customer service skills. Also, suggest the lifeguards should be watching the pool rather than having heads buried in their mobile phone. ||Room set up - following a day of travel, it was disappointing to find on another jet2 holiday that there was only one bed made up for four people, when you’ve booked nine months in advance and the party size is known, I’d expect this to be considered. It’s frustrating having to constantly share a bed with a child. ||Halloween evening was great entertainment wise, but the competition for children’s dressing up was unfairly biased on certain children in the resort. It was unfair to single out only three children for prizes when so many children had made an effort, some children were not even invited up on the stage.

First time at this hotel we were a family of 6, 4 adults and 2 children. Arrived 1pm reception very friendly as room not available till 3pm waited at the pool/restaurant area till ready .||Was in Block C, rooms were clean and well equipped so didnt take long to get settled in.||Food at the hotel was nice no complaints from me .Plenty of sunbeds. Charlie the entertainment team did a good job to keep everyone on their feet.||Free bus into town from 10 till 6 .Plenty of places to eat in Lloret de mar. Route 66 was well worth a visit ||For those who had a moan read the list about the rooms as and when they get cleand. every third day .if you need something ask nicely and you will receive. I had no issues. ||Lastly a BIG thank you to all the staff at the hotel who kept a eye out for my grandson Junior. He kept them all on there tose

We were there from the Thursday (30/10) to the Sunday (02/11) and on arrival we were dropped at the drop off point by the coach, we called the number and a lovely member of staff came in the wee van and drove us up the wee hill to the main reception. We checked in and were given room A303 which was just behind the reception and didnt get any sunshine. The room itself was massive big double room, lovely bathroom with shampoo, shower gel and hand soap as well as a hair dryer. We had 4 big massive towels that were brilliant. The living room and kitchen area was big and had everything we needed (we dont cook on holiday) We had an issue with the TV (like to listen to music) but it was sorted by the time we came back from dinner that evening. They also give you pool towel tokens and when exchanged you get your pool towel these again were great big towels and you can change these everyday if you wish.||The restaurant in the accomodation was okay the pizza was nice and the fries were amazing lots of people around us ate there most days.||It is about a 15 minute walk from the accomodation to the beach and main strip with shops, restaurants and bars. When we were there it was just about close of season so some places were closed already, and most other places didnt open until 9am. |The hotel put on a wee bus to take you to the supermarket and the beach and this runs from 10.00am - 6.00pm they will do multiple runs until everyone has been picked up and dropped off. We walked it back and the only struggle is the last wee hill at the hotel the rest of the walk is flat on the way there and back.||The noise from other residents can't be helped but I just wish people would be more mindful when heading back to their rooms as the bedrooms face onto the main path.||Overall we had a lovely 3 day break but the distance from Barcelona airport to the accomodation puts me off coming back an 1 hour and 40 minutes after an early start

Me and my family just got back after a week staying here. We had an amazing time, the children had lots of fun and we didnt even want to come home. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was lovely and the place was just a great atmosphere. We will definitely visit again.
