Beautiful old hotel, very clean, perfect location, staff nice and friendly, will stay there again and recommend to everyone. I only wish they will provide beach towels. The hotel is right on the beach but no beach towels.

The renovated rooms are clean but small. The basement rooms seem clean but damp.

If the sound of the surf putting you to sleep every night appeals to you, try Hotel Costa Brava.

The room is nothing like the pictures. Or at least the pictures aren’t informative. A cramped room and no door to the bathroom. As soon as you enter the room you’re greeted with a full view of the shower, and anyone who may be showering. Main issue is the privacy, or lack thereof. The amenities are fairly good. They really went all out with the 1 room factor. The only door in the bathroom is the door to the toilet which is almost see through and unable to close without leaving a clear gap between the rest of the room and the toilet.

Good location with direct access to 2 beaches but no beach towels are available for use and it’s prohibited to bring bath towels to the beach. No beach lounges or umbrellas available for use, even for a fee. The “garden room” actually just has a view of the parking lot, and the smells and noises of cars and guests coming and going at all hours. Sheets had stains. The door of the room opens directly to a view of the shower (which has no door or curtain) so housekeeping can see you fully nude when they come to clean the room, because the room has no “do not disturb” sign. No shampoo/conditioner - only hand soap is provided. The only dining option is, strangely, an expensive fine dining restaurant. The door to the room does not shut properly because the frame is loose and the wood seems to be rotting. Black substance staining the shower because of the constant moisture affecting the wood. Room so small that the desk chair cannot be moved without somehow pushing the bed out of the way so every time you go to the balcony (which overlooks a parking lot) you trip on the chair and hopefully you don’t fall and get hurt in the way down. Some staff are really nice and helpful, others don’t acknowledge your existence. Wouldn’t stay here again. Also would not use Orbitz again - despite a cancellation policy which clearly says you can change or cancel up to 24 hours before check in, when I tried to shorten my stay a week before that “they would see” if it was possible. Never again orbitz

The helpfulness and friendliness of the front desk staff definitely ebbed and flowed depending upon the shift; but Susana was too kind and professional to not give an excellent rating for the overall experience

We stayed at Hotel Costa Brava for 8 nights. It was amazing! Hotel has a lot of charm and character. Susana did everything she could to accommodate our needs, including dealing with delays related to cancelled flight from USA. We would love to come back next year.
