We had such a lovely stay at Gran Sol in Sant Pol de Mar.
What makes this hotel particularly special is that it is also a hotel and restaurant school, with students working alongside the regular staff as part of their training. We really enjoyed being part of their learning experience, it added something genuinely unique and charming to our stay.
The hotel itself is older and not particularly modern, but everything was exceptionally clean, including our room. The soundproofing between rooms isn’t the best, so you can hear your neighbours at times, but the hotel was lovely and quiet in the evenings and we slept very well.
Both the permanent staff and the students were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
And the view, absolutely fantastic! Waking up to that beautiful Mediterranean sea view from our room was definitely one of the highlights.
A very enjoyable stay with a lovely atmosphere, made even more memorable by all the students working hard to learn their profession. We would happily stay here again.
