Rosamar Garden Resort Hotel - Lloret de Mar

More info about our recent mini break at the excellent Rosamar Resort hotel in Lloret de Mar. 
This hotel is situated just a few minutes walk from the main beach near the 'castle' one of the most popular sights in Lloret de Mar. 
The beach here is ideal for families with its little rock pools in which your children will love to go exploring to try find the little fish and crabs among the rocks....that is of course if you can break them away from the amenities at the hotel!

The Rosamar waterpark is one of the best I've seen in a hotel with its pirate ship, long long slides, even the little children have their very own splash area. 
All the family can challenge each other to a game of mini golf in the pirate themed golf course...with its life size pirates at every hole. 
Take a look at my video to see what exciting adventures your family can have at the Rosamar!

Rosamar Garden Resort Hotel - room tour

 

Hotel Rosamar Garden Resort, Lloret de Mar

 Over the next 2-3 days I will be posting photos and videos from the Rosamar Garden Resort Hotel in Lloret de Mar. We have just had the pleasure of a one night stay courtesy of the hotel management to enable us to show our members the amenities of the hotel…and what a pleasure it was! We found the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the hotel was spotless.


Our beautiful room was on the 7th floor (top) looking out on the amazing water park, not only were the children enjoying their time here but the adults also! 😂

We were able to have breakfast, lunch & dinner during our stay and we were just overwhelmed by the choice of food for all meals…something for everyone whatever your tastes! The heated serving trays were constantly refilled so there was no danger of any dishes running out.

L’Azure hotel in Lloret de Mar

 As many of you will already know the old Gran Casino Royal hotel has undergone a massive makeover (costing 35 million euros!) making this a very special hotel to spend your holiday in #lloretdemar.

We were invited by Xavi LAzure to go along and photograph the new L’Azure hotel and what a pleasure it was! 

Xavi met us in the hotel reception, from there he gave us a full guided tour showing us all the amenities and different areas of the hotel. There are 411 rooms ranging from standard through to superior, deluxe, suites and family suites etc….even the standard rooms are amazing! All rooms have Tv with chrome cast, coffee machine, safe, toiletries, hairdryer, mini bar and so much more. 

This is a perfect hotel for families as there is a fantastic mini club, water play area on the ground floor pool area and lots of entertainment to keep the kids happy! 

The adults have their own special area’s also with the gym, a beautiful spa, sauna and massage rooms. The roof top terrace on the 8th floor is ‘adult only’ here you can laze on the comfortable loungers around the infinity pool, dine at the restaurant and take a cocktail while looking out to sea…what a view! 

Several themed restaurants at L’Azure cater for all tastes.

There is a huge entertainment/events centre for everyone called The Circus, with its large stage, Tv screen, music and dancing etc.

Many thanks to Xavi for giving us the opportunity to bring you these photos!

Lloret de Mar, September 2020

 After what has been a very quiet year for Lloret de Mar we are now into September, a month which should be very busy with lots of tourists. Now that the children are back at school and the airfares are normally cheaper Lloret is in the sad situation where most hotels have closed through lack of guests and bars/restraunts etc are having to decide whether its worth their while staying open or close much earlier for the season. This video taken today (16th September) shows how deserted the town is just now!

Lloret in Lockdown 2020

Lloret de Mar seems a very strange place these days, all residents are on strict lockdown rules owing to the nasty Covid 19 virus which has affected just about every country in the world. At this time of year the streets, beaches, bars, restaurants and clubs should be packed with tourists from far and wide. Instead the streets are deserted giving Lloret a very strange atmosphere. I have done a short video showing Lloret as it looked today 6-5-2020.

F1 Barcelona 2020, test days.

For all the F1 fans out there did you know you can actually visit the circuit to watch the pre-season testing of the cars at Circuit de Catalunya? My visit yesterday was a fantastic experience at a very small entry fee compared to the actual race costs.
This years ticket prices start at €59 for adults, which I thought was excellent value for the experience of been able to access areas otherwise not normally available unless you pay hundreds of euros on race days!

Lloret de Mar storm 2020

So far this winter has been very mild here along the Costa Brava coast, but this month storm Gloria changed all that and has caused damage and brought chaos to most of the coastal areas in Spain. Here in Lloret de Mar however we were not as badly affected as some resorts up and down the coast. Here is my video of the beaches of Fenals and Lloret taken after the worst of the weather had passed, there is still a lot of work to be done to repair damage, but work was quickly started to try get the town back to some normality.

Blanes fireworks competition

It’s that time of year again when we can see the ever popular Blanes fireworks! The competition takes place from 23rd to 27th of July at 10.30pm. It’s best to get there early as the town gets very busy for this event and parking is very hard to find.

The summer seems to have taken its time arriving this year with the weather been really unsettled during the month of May. We are now just one day away from June and the forecasts are looking much more promising with lots of sun forecast for the coming week. The beaches are looking good with all the beach bars open, sun beds & parasols are available to hire on both Lloret and Fenals beaches.
