I was disappointed how small the pool actually is. We were looking forward to a whole day next to the pool, but when we saw its size, we went to the beach.

Hotel is superb, amazing service.

the selctrion of food in their Terrase restaurant wasn't great.

The hotel is bautiful but close to a road but the windows are insolted so we did not hear the road as we were afraid we would. Satff were very friendly, nice room, house simple but bautiful and with charachter. close to Pals the old village that is really bautifully renovated. Breakfast was nice.

Nothing

The room was very comfortable and clean. The overall property was well taken care of and beautifully designed. Great location, in between Pals and Begur. Close to many beaches. Breakfast was good. We had a multiple course chefs menu in the restaurant in the evening as well, which was good value for money. Pool was on the smaller side, but good

We had a lovely quiet stay, which is what we wanted, but we felt the hotel lacked any personality. No one really engaged with us and we were never offered a drink by the pool or encouraged to use the bar. They left us entirely to our own devices which we found a little unfriendly.

Es Portal is a beautiful boutique hotel on the outskirts of a stunning old town called Pals. Whilst the property is secure and enclosed by a security gate, it is right on the edge of a fairly busy road. You can walk along the road for about 20 minutes to get to Pals, but definitely not with children. The rooms are lovely (only 9 in the hotel) but the lighting is fairly poor and unfortunately the air conditioning wasn’t working our first night and with temperatures in the high 30’s it was very uncomfortable! However, the hotel did get it fixed the following day and also upgraded us to a larger more airy room to try and help lessen the heat. There is apparently a very good restaurant at the hotel (a long taster type menu) which we didn’t try as we had a reservation elsewhere, but the hotel restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The pool area is very nice with plenty of sun loungers and chairs and surrounded by a stunning jasmine hedge which smells amazing! The old town of Pals is beautiful and well worth a visit and there are also numerous restaurants and bars to choose from where you can sit and enjoy the architecture.

Our stay of four nights was too short We will recommend the hotel to all our friends.

The setting and location for touring was excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable and full of character. The adjacent lounge was large and the coffee machine was a great success. The food was outstanding.

We loved everything. The only slight down side is it’s set about a mile out of town. Quite a walk when the sun is really hot and we found taxis in this part of Spain to be very expensive. about double what they are down the coast in Lloret.

beautiful and charming little property. the staff are second to none. They went well out of their way to make sure we had a lovely stay.

An historic building from the 17th century with all the modern comforts available. Beautiful grounds and gardens. A friendly staff and top-notch food service. The restaurant serves a wonderful dinner and has a breakfast to match.

N/A

We stayed for two nights in this wonderful hotel. The service was great and everything was maintained to the highest possible standard. On the first evening we ate in the main restaurant, enjoying a fabulous gastronomic menu - not cheap, but every dish a culinary delight. The second evening we ate in the outdoor restaurant S'estiu; this was rather less special, but perfectly decent fare. All in all, a great destination to be highly recommended.

even if the whole structure looks nice in a rural concept , the floor of the suite we booked was in parquet in poor wood, means that some details were not in line with the concept of the building. also the air conditioning was not working properly and we suffered how during the night.

we liked the location and the style. nice service and despite the fact that the structure is close to the main road it was silence.

The location - it was not really walkable to anywhere. The town of Pals is cute, but there’s not much there.

The building itself has been beautifully restored. The hotel directly borders a busy road, but the high quality windows were amazing at blocking the road noise. The breakfast was excellent - not something I often say about European destinations.
