cosy old-fashioned apartments with kitchenette and air-condition, walk right across the road to the beach, enjoy the good breakfast in the upmarket priced restaurant, but forget about your internet connection and be lucky to find a place to park your car nearby in high season

We spent 2 nights in Roses Spain, a great area about 2 hours north of Barcelona by car. The city is on a bay with about 3-4 miles of sandy beach.

The above itinerary is the only reason we stayed in Rosas. Hotel Mary Y sol was lackluster, well worn, fairly clean and fairly comfortable. Good... More

I stayed at this hotel with my partner in January 2005, just after New Year. We got a brilliant deal (as it was out of season) including breakfast. The room itself had a small kitchenette with fridge, hob etc., a sitting area with sofa and chair that was screened off from the sleeping area, and a sleeping area with wardrobe.... More
