Guitart Central Park Resort and Spa

Guitart Central Park Resort and Spa is really a great hotel. I really recommend this hotel and I look forward to be back again. When we check in the receptionists where very helpful and talked to us politely. The room is not special but clean and had all the things we needed. The only thing that we did not like is that we could hear other people talk in the adjacent rooms especially when they shout they could wake you up, as they did. I booked the hotel on a half board bases and it was really great. Why? I am a Coeliac and I was very afraid because I did not know if they can cater for me, but surprisingly when I talked to the restaurant manager, he and his waitresses where there to provide me with a gluten free diet for the whole week and where very helpful as even cooked for me separately. Every day we had different buffet. The swimming pools are clean and always supervised. For the evening we enjoyed music from musicians as we danced and even they had some shows. I really recommend this hotel because for the money we spent it was really worth it and I have already recommended this hotel to my friends.

Booked bed and breakfast. Only had one breakfast continental. Bacon and sausage appeared uncooked and risky. Room very small as was bathroom but had booked economy room. Very pleasant pools, garden and seating area. Close to beach and main shopping area. Would book again for short break only better standard rooms may give more room. TV no English Channel.

I will try to focus on the positive issues which there are plenty of, but it was the terrible state of our economy room that has spoilt my opinion of what could be a great tourist hotel. The room was the worst I have stayed in anywhere in the world! The catch on the balcony door was broken which meant the door constantly kept blowing open all night, even when we pushed the table against it to prevent this, it still kept rattling all night. This meant little undisturbed sleep every night, and when we went out during the day the door could be pushed open from the outside. There was also a water leak in the bathroom which meant constant puddles on the floor all the time, which also made it dangerously slippery. The blackout curtain was also hanging off, which meant, due to the tissue thin curtains, that when the sun woke up, so did we! This was such a shame because the rest of the hotel was clean and new with lots of areas and bars to stroll around. The pool complex was fantastic, even having a heated indoor pool. The food was good standard Spanish hotel fair, which mainly catered for the mainland european guests, which was to be expected as they made up most of the guests at this time of year. Just a footnote, the hotel amenities include parking, but be aware this costs 14 euros a day, and nearby street parking is almost impossible. All in all, a clean and comfortable hotel in a good location, but avoid the economy rooms at all costs!!

I loved this hotel. Staff are always very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Walking distant to the beach. Food Spainish but thats what you get when you go to spain. Would recommend this hoilday anytime.

There were a number of room options open to us, thankfully we chose the top one, the Gold option. These are meant to be 4 star, I think they should be 3 star. Putting a lot of free toiletries in a small wicker basket in the bathroom, doesn't make it 4 star in my opinion. We had the half board option. The food was varied, but uninspiring, free wine with your meal though is a nice point. Breakfast is awful. You really need to treat it as continental breakfast as the cooked part is plain , greasy and cool to cold. No fruit salad either. From what I have read in reviews, it is pretty typical of Costa Brava hotel accommodation. Still, I suppose it was cheap. PS.  Limited parking is available at the Hotel, costing 14 Euros per night. I parked on a steep'ish hill behind, it for free.(Down past the hotel reception, bear right, then turn first right)

having been to lloret many times it was great pleasure with alpharooms assistance that we stayed at such a marvellous hotel the staff where excellent and the sevices superb, i move back to the u.k. in april but will be using alpharooms to book in the future, already added to my favourites list, i will be advising friends to use this site due to its honesty and overall coverage of the hotels, just to say once again i did not realise how close this hotel was to all amenities within walking distance of the beach and so many bars and resteraunts on site

The GUITART CENTRAL PARK RESORT AND SPA, is one of the best hotles i went to on my trip t this hotle in october of last year (2004). I was outstanded by he view that it gave, there were evn views in the bar!! The fountians and gardens is immense and the hotel is only a 2-3 minute walk to the local shops and bars. The nightlife isnt up to much hwoever the local peoples are freindly and will stop to chat often. The food inside the hotel is good and includes a wide selection of choice catetering for vegetarians. However it is nice to try some local foods and this can be done in the local community.
Above all, the staff and caterers where very helpfull, pleasent and mature to all guests even those who had little children and whom had many people in their party.
The hotel is one of the best ive been to and i would recomende it to everyone!

The outside grounds were fantastic, choice of pools on different levels even one in a greenhouse!! On entry to the hotel exeptionally clean marble foyer, mirrored lifts and clean corridors. Then it stops!!!!!!!
   The rooms we passed looked fantastic, I can only say looked because our 'cell' was at best poor. The nice wood clad corridor with brass room numbers and keycard entry system halted. The rough artex finished walls (great for scraping your newly sunburnt skin to the bone) appeared. The room numbers daubed on the walls and the big chunky mortice locks on the doors all under security camera greeted us.
    Once inside the 'cell' was small enough for I guess, someone smaller! The balcony underlooking the rockface just next to the skip and dumped transit van. All with outside access to any room. Just lock the door and hope that no-one with long thin objects, such as fingers puts them through the generous gaps between the doors. In the bathroom don't use the cabinet on the wall for your cleaning utensils, as it is also the dry riser,with access from the room next door.
    And that's all before breakfast.................

this hotel is everything it says it is.
we stayed here in november on an all inclusive basis, which was well worth it.there are two main bars, the one at the top of the hotel, opens out onto the terrace overlooking the pool, gardens and water fountains. It has entertainment every night, also the all inclusive drinks includes brand names like smirnoff vodka, ballantines whiskey, J & B whiskey, bacardi, bailleys to name a few, which is excellent value for money on an all inclusive.
The rooms are very pleasant with great views from the balcony, maid service everyday.
the indoor pool is a good size and nice and warm, there are sunlounger round the indoor pool and also changing cubicles.
the hotel is just a two minute walk to the centre of lloret, with all the shops and bars.
the food in the restaurant was excellent with a good selection to chose from. if you fancy a snack later on, you can get one from the bar, you can also get crisps from the bar which is included in your all inclusive.
the gardens and fountains are beautiful.
the staff were very helpful and pleasant.
all in all we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and rate it amongst one of the best in the area and highly reccomend it.
