Scene
A mostly quiet complex of four apartment buildings with two pools
Els Llorers is a complex of apartment-style rooms spread across four whitewashed buildings, with two pool terraces sandwiched between them. Although the kitchen-equipped apartments largely have neutral-tone furnishings, common areas are colorful and fun. Pool terraces are lined with yellow loungers, there are red-leather couches in the bar, and additional pops of yellow and red fill the restaurant and outdoor terrace. Entertainment is provided, but it's low-key and mostly quiet here. The complex tends to attract couples and young families from across Europe, looking for an affordable, self-catering spot.
Location
Removed setting a 25-minute walk from the beach
The Els Llorers apartment complex is in a residential area outside of the town of Lloret de Mar. While there is very little immediately in the vicinity, aside from a small supermarket, the hotel runs a free shuttle to the nearest beach, a six-minute drive away. The beach and town center are otherwise a 25-minute walk away. The city of Girona is a 45-minute drive away, while Girona-Costa Brava Airport is about 30 minutes. Barcelona and its airport are between 70 and 90 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.
Rooms
Simple, decently equipped apartments with kitchenettes and balconies
The 73 apartments at Els Llorers might be low in frills, outfitted with basic wood furnitures and little artwork, but they're clean and have contemporary bedspreads. Furnished balconies come standard, and some have distant sea views. Apartments have either one or two bedrooms, and open-plan living spaces with sofa beds and flat-screen TVs. Kitchens are simple, featuring kitchenettes with gas hobs, microwaves, kettles, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges, as well as the usual cookware and crockery. Bathrooms have mosaic tiling in peach hues that could use a refresh, as well as shower/tub combos, wall-mounted soap dispensers, and hairdryers. Air-conditioning is provided, but in-room Wi-Fi requires a fee.
Features
Two pools, a separate kiddy pool, and positively reviewed food
The highlight of Els Llorers is the main outdoor pool, which is a good size and has a separate kiddy pool. The sunny terrace is lined with loungers and a smattering of umbrellas, plus there's a children's playground off to one side. Another pool is available at a different building, but it's much smaller. The restaurant and bar receive positive reviews, serving regional and international fare. The bar shows sporting events and has pool tables and arcade machines. Reception and the dining areas are the only places to get free Wi-Fi. Entertainment is provided, such as karaoke, but it's not too loud. There are no spa or gym facilities here.
