Bottom Line
Gran Hotel Don Juan is a huge value property conveniently located a short walk form the beach and the city center. It features a wide array of amenities, including two pools, three restaurants, a kids’ club, and poolside massages. But rooms are small and dated, and soundproofing is lacking. Low rates and all-inclusive meal plans draw groups of young partiers, so those looking to spend a quiet, relaxing vacation by the pool may want to stay elsewhere.

Scene
A huge hotel catering to families on a budget -- but better suited for young partiers
The hotel’s 870 rooms are spread throughout two seven-story buildings surrounded by lush gardens with winding stone paths. Each building has its own pool, and the tennis court is located in the large courtyard situated between buildings. The lobby is a huge, bright space with a few vending machines, a board announcing the weekly entertainment options, several seating areas, a hairdresser, and a souvenir and clothes shop. There are a couple of massage chairs and a small business center in a separate area off the lobby. Given the hotel’s size, the lobby is always busy with guests. There are many kid-friendly amenities here, but due to its low rates, the property is popular with groups of young people looking to party until the wee hours, and can be loud and rowdy at times.
Location
Centrally located within walking distance of bars and the beach
The hotel is located on a busy street in central Lloret de Mar, within walking distance of nightlife and restaurants. There are two nice but busy beaches within a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and Lloret de Mar’s main bus station can be reached on foot in just under five minutes. Girona-Costa Brava Airport is located a 25-minute drive away, and Barcelona can be reached in just over an hour.
Rooms
Small, dated and basic; some have renovated bathrooms
All rooms at Gran Hotel Don Juan are clean, and have air-conditioning and balconies furnished with plastic chairs -- but they’re small and dated. Decor is basic, with old-fashioned wooden furniture, small tube TVs (some rooms have flat-screen TVs), thin bedspreads, and a single painting hanging from the wall. While some bathrooms have been renovated, others are small and feel old. Soundproofing is lacking, and sounds coming from other rooms, the pools, and the common areas can be heard. Wi-Fi is available for a fee.
Features
Two pools, three restaurants, and a kids’ club; Wi-Fi for a fee
Gran Hotel Don Juan features two pools with a handful of loungers and a massage area; three restaurants and bars; a tennis court; a heated indoor pool open seasonally, and a nightclub. While the atmosphere here is generally party-oriented, the hotel also offers a number of family-friendly amenities, including a kiddy pool, a playground, and a kids’ club complete with an arcade and daily entertainment. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel at an extra charge, and there’s a small business center in the lobby.
