Just returned from an 11 night stay in Xaine Park hotel in Lloret de Mar. First impressions were great, lovely sized room (308) at the rear of the hotel, check in was quick and efficient, paid the room tax and €50 plus a €10 refundable deposit for a room safe, the Aircon was free for the stay so that really was a bonus and we did need it! Nice comfy beds and clean room, bathroom was a little dated especially after seeing some of the refurbished ones, but perfectly serviceable. Nice powerful shower with constant hot water. Balcony faces another hotel, so not really secluded, but quite entertaining to people watch on occasion! The hotel really is right in the centre of the strip, it is a little boisterous and noisy especially in the evenings and early hours of the morning, but most of the sound is muffled by keeping the doors closed. Only a couple of minor gripes, the room was not very bright, and was in need of a ceiling light really, and it could certainly do with a couple of extra plug sockets, in this rechargable generation, but we made do. Only other thing I missed a little was a small fridge to keep a drink cool, but again we made do. Our stay was bed and breakfast, and the breakfast seemed to cater for all nationalities, a few odd inclusions made us Brits giggle, (mixed veg, green beans, churros, chicken nuggets) but could always find something tasty to start our day from the extensive and varying breakfast menu. We caught the end of the European students tour with huge groups of young European teens staying at this hotel and the surrounding ones. On the whole we were lucky and they respected others day and night time, keeping most of the noise on the streets and not in the hotel. Into the second week and we were unlucky enough to encounter a few noisy neighbours and the perpetual furniture movers which was a shame, and led to a few restless nights, most of these were old enough to know better too! one particular intoxicated neighbour tried knocking the door off the room next door at 4am, after mislaying his keycard, but a disgruntled me soon told him with a few choice words to "be quiet". The shock of a 54 year old man opening the door in his pants seemed to do the trick, and to his credit he apologised to my wife the next morning over the balcony and we never heard him again. All the staff we encountered we helpful and friendly, always a cheery hola from the maids. A special mention for Kevin, the entertainment provider who does a very good job getting people doing things together during the afternoons and evenings, and he is a thoroughly nice guy, my wife and I had a lovely chat with him in a quiet moment one afternoon after a game of darts! All in all we certainly got value for money from our stay for the price, and if we ever stayed in Lloret again would certainly consider another stay here
