Mas Tapiolas

We had a wonderful stay thanks to the outstanding hospitality, especially from Martin, who took great care of us and our son Leo. The amazing food and great amenities were also highlights. Great biking and hiking area. We can't wait to return

Lovely spot and very peaceful. We stayed in a family room which was average. Kids had a pull out bed which was poor but we changed to an another room that had two single beds which was better. Staff were reactive as opposed to proactive. Everything at an extra cost like the pitch and putt and use of bikes. Mark up on wine high for Spanish restaurants. Snack menu - food processed. Main restaurant- Food excellent but expensive Breakfast - excellent, except coffee which is from a espresso machine Location really good. If this hotel was not so expensive and the service better and snack menu not an afterthought then it would be excellent, but it is and they are hence the poor review.

We booked two Masia rooms for one week and were very disappointed. They are more expensive than the regular rooms because made by special designer but they have no view at all, and are near parking and garbage area. Our room had the view directly on garbage (see pictures attached) the second room had the view on all air conditioner fans outside. This is scandalous when you pay more than 300 euros per night !!!!! Never book rooms in Masia area, you will be disappointed for sure.

The setting is fabulous with well-maintained grounds. It was well worth paying extra for a garden room, as this provided extra space and privacy. We did not have a car and enjoyed exploring the area on foot, although bicycles are available to hire, and used Shuttle Direct for transport to and from Girona, although a bus service is also available from Santa Cristina d'Aro. We were amazed at the amount of wildlife, with sparrows everywhere and swallows enjoying skimming the surface of the pool and we even saw bats and (dead) snakes. It seems the hotel grounds are managed in an environmentally friendly manner. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and the spa is perfect if the weather is not great. Fabulous setting for the much appreciated outdoor eating options. The only downside for us was the (expensive) lunch and dinner menu items and the over-reliance on red meat, with very few vegetarian options. We discovered afterwards that it's possible to ask for a sandwich menu at lunch time, but still expensive.
