The hotel aims at the upper end of the tourist market. It is set in its own grounds, which are nicely laid out, but home to many mosquitos. 7 to 10 minute hilly walk to the centre of this village resort. Rooms large, well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Those with balconies have a nice view of the village, the sea and the mountains. Plenty of choice at buffet breakfast, but cooked food a weak spot. We were there in October, right at the end of the season, but all the hotel's amenities were still functioning, including the swimming pool, despite the small number of guests. A shame that they employ American receptionists when local unemployment is so high. And what the place lacks is any sort of personal touch. Cannot be rated better than average, given that it is quite an expensive place to stay.

Stayed at the Garbi for a couple of nights during a tour of the local area. It's a perfectly pleasant hotel in a nice green setting but not modern. It's confusing, at first, to find your way around as the newer part of it is on different levels to the original building. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable with a balcony and lovely view of the town and coast. It had a large bathroom which, bizarrely, contained the wardrobes and cupboards. On arriving we were unable to get the air-conditioning to work but, after a trip to Reception, we were told that there was a connection on the patio door which needed to be closed before the air-con would operate. The buffet-style breakfast offered a good variety and the staff were helpful and friendly. Didn't have dinner at the hotel but ate out at La Gavina and Xabec in Calella - a 10 minute walk. Also worth walking round the nearby coastal path to a pretty and secluded beach, El Golfet.

This is a 3 star hotel that delivers exactly what you should expect for this price. The room reminded me of a Holiday Inn. It is clean, reasonably spacious and comfortable with an excellent view of the bay from the balcony. We slept well in the slightly bigger than average twin beds. The air-con worked correctly. We had a little difficulty with the in-room safe but staff quickly helped us fix it. The swimming pool was a good size and at this time of year there were only a few couples using it. It was sometimes hard to find staff to serve you if e.g you wanted to buy food/drink near the pool. We ate in the hotel on the Saturday night for their buffet. We felt this was excellent quality except for the wine included. The red was truly awful and the Rose just about O.K. If you love wine, have a beer with the buffet but the food is great. Breakfast is typical of continental hotels and fine. This resort is generally quite expensive, hotel fair value.

This hotel deserves to be classified as a 4*, and not a 3*. Hotel surrounding is spacious, with lots of greenery. Breakfast buffet was generous, but did not eat dinner at the restaurant as it was high end. Room was clean. Although hotel is within walking distance to Calella de Palafrugell beach, it is not located right in the heart of town. Stayed here as part of a Catalonia cycling tour.

We are a family of 4 & have just returned from 7 wonderful nights stay at hotel garbi. Having firstly spent 5 very busy days in Barcelona we wanted a 'chill out' week to follow & that,s exactly what we experienced. The hotel surroundings are beautiful & very well kept with several terraces with lots of comfortable seating shaded by pine trees if you didnt want to take in the sun around the very pleasant pool. The hotel decor is very typically spanish which adds to the charm of the place & also exremely clean. Despite our stay being high season & the hotel being quite occupied we found it pleasantly quiet..The staff were wonderful particularly the waiters waitresses & pool bar staff & the food was exceptional & very typically catalan . . We ate in the restaurant 4 of our 7 evenings & had breakfast every morning which was also extremely good with a wide choice of fresh food well served. The resort of calella da p itself we found a little too busy altho beautiful & would recommend a walk along the seafront path to llfranc which is the near by resort to take in the gorgeous scenery.. Also a walk to Cap Roig gardens are a must for those with a botanical interest. All in all we loved our stay & we certainly hope to visit again.
