Pals Hotels

First, the welcome. If Erica was welcoming, Clara greeted us like old friends! (This was our debut.) Nothing forced abou it - that's the way she is. You don't get a bise at Melia/Pullman/Marriott! We enjoyed a super dinner, served by Erica; borrowed a book or two to read; read the British & French newspapers; took a DVD from the extensive collection and watched it in our bedroom. Breakfast was thoroughly relaxed - great homemade jams. The bedroom ("Sa Tuna") was, of course, old-style, charming, with a good bed; we thought the bells of the church opposite might keep us awake, but they didn't. Smallish bathroom with efficient large-headed shower (no bath). Check-out handled effortlessly. Secure parking across the road (€7.)

Nothing.

First of all, we very much liked the village of Begur and the location of the hotel is very central to explore the place. Also, the view from the room was very nice. Therefore: location.

May be our room was not the best of the hotel. Old bathroom and too many old objects lying around in an excessive effort to show propension for 'modernariato' which can become rather 'kitch'. I expected more after having read other guests comments. Rather standard breakfast.

very nice and very cosy ,the restaurant is very good,people are very helpful and friendly

The staff was very kind. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The Hotel itself was very clean and minimal, the way I like it

the personal was very friendly and helpfull it is near the golf and the beach

no

We thought the staff we absolutely terrific and super friendly and accomodating. The location was terrific and the pool and patio was gorgeous. Breakfast was a real treat on the patio. Its an stunning building overlooking the hills.

The bed needs to be upgraded. Its quite uncomfortable. Also the bathroom needs upgrading. The sink is very small and the shower is super slippery. You have to hold on while you wash to make sure you don't slip.

Food. Pool. Staff and Service.

Room was small for 4 people

Very friendly, comfortable and full of character. A lovely place to relax

There was nothing that I really didn't like. One tiny point - a bit more light in the bedroom would have been helpful!

lovely centre for this superb part of the costa bravo

The location was fabulous. Very important to get a sea view room over the cove at Tamariu.

Mattresses were very hard and there were only twin beds.

Wonderful veiw from my room

Breakfast was very poor

the location was good, the staff was friendly

very old furniture and the carpet was ancient, it was like the hotel was stuck in 1969... I was missing what I think are basic things in the room, like a kettle and a couple of cups. There was no "pampering" feel to the hotel at all. The rooms all had twin beds even though we booked a double room - I didn't like that at all...

The staff were kind.

If I have to pay extra to have a double room I expect to have a double room. The beds were appauling and had crumbs in from previous customers. The bathrooms were far from acceptable. All in all very very disappointing.

The staff were very attentive and extremely helpful and friendly, especially when we had problems with our hire car, they did all the liaison with the local garage

Free upgrade to superior room (because it was a quiet time). Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast with wide choice. Good value fixed-price dinner.

it was veery relaxing , staff were very helpfull , food was enjoyable , great location , went home happy to have stayed there.

I would have liked a different menu with a colder than i would normaly prefer a slighty wider choice to choose from , the staff were very friendly & the restaurant was well run but i would prefer the food was a touch hotter.

beautiful position...clifftop...a bit seventies but a good hotel with beautiful views

breakfast

great choice to stay while in Peratallada (where you should definitely go anyways!)

Excellent dinner for 25euros and staff very friendly - run by a family of 2 brothers and their sister. Very welcoming..

Staff was amazingly friendly, especially the owners. Breakfasts that were included with the hotel stay were fantastic. Location is right on the beach and can't be beat!

Nice grounds with very large swimming pool. Terrace Bar. Large well equipped room.

Variable levels of attentiveness of staff.

Well furnished and comfortable bedroom with balcony overlooking the garden as requested. Lovely large bathroom. Nice little extra touches such as complimentary decanter of sherry. Excellent gourmet restaurant and very good buffet breakfast. Lovely sea water pool and garden to relax in.

Although the food at the hotel was excellent there were few other places to eat within walking distance. The hotel is close to the sea with a good long sandy beach for familiies and sand dunes (preferred by nudists). We thought that there were prettier and smarter resorts such as Sa Reira, (a short drive away).

Clean, GREAT location with a very accommodating staff.

Nothing.

The tranquility of the seting yet very close to all amenities. A good 4 star hotel in that the staff were not obtrusive but always there to help.

The terrace outside the suite was very barren. Almost prison like. It could have done with some pots of flowers

Awesome staff, especially host in restaurant. Made our visit especially enjoyable. Seaside room was great!

no

friendliness and courtesy of staff - nothing seemed to be a bother.

quality of the food on the snack menu - put more detailed comments on hotel questionaire

The two hosts were incredibly attentive, professional, friendly and knowledgable. The hotel is quite small, with a perfect and well designed amalgamation of rustic charm and sophisticated modern style. It is set in beautiful countryside but within easy walking distance of the medieval village of Peratallada and only a few minutes drive from the Beaches of the Costa Brava. The ambience is totally relaxed and relaxing and dining is an interesting and very satisfying experience.

I have absolutely nothing to say in criticism of the Hotel Aatu.

We loved the Hotel Aatu! It's in a lovely setting with beautiful gardens, 2 swimming pools. Very clean, spare rooms with the biggest white, fluffy towels. Very good breakfast: fresh fruits, great cafe con leche, delicious fresh baked bread. It's in a wonderful location, just steps from the beautiful tiny stone village Peratallada, which is fun to explore & has a number of terrific restauants. The hotel is 15-20 minutees from the sea & the beautiful Costa Brava coastline. But what really sets Hotel Aatu apart is the warmth and care given by Rune & Bernat who run it. They are extremely friendly, helpful & welcoming & make you feel like family-----checking out was like saying goodbye to friends.

Nothing at all to complain about.

great location just one block from the beach, friendly staff

Owner operated hotel. Staff were excellent. Air-conditioning brilliant. Breakfast great

No

The professionalism of the staff, the size of the rooms and their facilities, and the open aspect of the gardens and pool area at the rear of the hotel.

There was nothing which I did not like.

The accomodation was clean and correct although quite basic and impersonal. The cost was very reasonable and as a whole it is good value for money.

There is no personality at all in the decoration of the building and inside the flats. The quality of all fabrics in the flat, from towels to bed linen, was extremely low with a very poor touch feeling.
