Hotel Vistabella

We had had the most exceptional afternoon here. We arrived by boat from empuriabrava and had planned to visit another restaurant in the bay. The sea taxi wasn’t available to take us there as it stops at the end of August and we really didn’t want to swim to shore as we had 2 friends who weren’t strong swimmers. Luckily we saw the boat for the Vistabella. We spoke to the driver who organised us a table for 7 people and promptly took us to the shore from our boat. From there the service and food was just fantastic. A special shout to our waiter Dimitri who went above and beyond to look after us. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for making our holiday x

This is not a 5 star hotel. While the service is indeed on a 5 star level and views from the terrace are very relaxing, all other features are lagging behind the minimal 5 star location experience. 1. Location is far from a prime spots on Costa Brava with relatively long travel distances. 2. Breakfast is very generic and underwhelming. 3. Rooms furniture and appliances are from past milenium (including simple things like towels and bedsheets, that seemed to have seen generations of guests). 4. Mila restaurant, while it does serve fresh seafood, in definitely does not surprise with the selection, nor preparation, but does surprise with the price. We did not dare to try the other restaurant given the reviews. For truly good food experience visit any restaurant in Girona. 5. Bar was closed. 6. Beach paths both ways were closed.

3 star hotel pretending to be 5 star. The upside: next to a nice beach (but not as nice as the one 5 minutes walk away). The downside: outdated facilities that don’t justify to be 5 star hotel, very unfriendly service, and chronic lack of water. They give you a 150ml bottle for free and then you pay 3.5eur for the 0.5l water bottle. Water at breakfast in tiny glasses. Valet service is kind of pointless given the parking is just in front and you wait like and idiot for your car to arrive and then have to drive back past where it came from. Breakfast is the same every day and lacks diversity. Food is obviously overpriced. But the egg guy at breakfast deserves a promotion! The 4-star hotel next door though is highly recommended.

This hotel is sensational, though not so modern, it has the most friendly staff just wanting to make your stay the best. The views were nothing short of spectacular, the masseuse was one of the better to found in a hotel spa, and the wine list (and cellar) was extensive enough for all those that love good wine. Food, again excellent though not so modern. Oskar made my stay so special but sorting out special local restaurants etc.

The hotel was fabulous. We had a sea view room and the views were amazing. The staff, with the exception of Alejandro who was most unwelcoming, were delightful. The breakfast was good and the cleanliness excellent. Sadly though, we won't be returning as having eaten twice in both restaurants we were shocked at the poor quality of the food. The calamari was frozen supermarket stuff not fresh as we had been having in the most ordinary restaurants in Roses. My steak was served on a pile of the cheapest bagged salad you get in supermarkets. The food was never hot. We stayed for 8 nights and after the complimentary 2 small bottles of water and 2 coffee pods we had to purchase anymore we required. Not great for a pricey hotel.

Lovely hotel. On its own you won’t really be walking elsewhere as the coast path needs work. Great staff. Be sure to ask prices for specials in Mila restaurant though. We had an expensive surprise there. Lovely hotel though

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, the experience was very pleasant. The rooms were clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. I want to give a special shoutout to Adam, who worked as both the bell boy and valet—he was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t entirely seamless. When we tried to rebook another night for our stay, we were told we couldn’t receive the same rate because we had originally booked through a third party. The only reason we wanted to extend our stay was because we had booked nonrefundable massage services for the following day—something we weren’t informed about at the time of purchase. This created a frustrating situation: we couldn’t justify paying a much higher rate just to stay the extra night, but we were also stuck with nonrefundable spa appointments. As a result, we had to leave and then return later in the day, which felt like a waste of time and disrupted our plans to explore the city. I wish the hotel had communicated the spa policy more clearly and made a better effort to accommodate returning guests under the same rate. That said, the quality of the rooms and the excellent service from staff like Adam made a strong impression.

Fantastic in every way from start to finish 😊The service we met from the waiters and in the reception was second to none. The room and the splendid views were unique- we enjoyed our stay in every way and we will surely be back on this marvellous and great hotel😊
