The Hotel Els Pins is a nice hotel located close to the centre of Platja d'Aro and just meters from the beach. The hotel staff was very friendly and speaks fluent English and French. The rooms are clean. We unfortunately had to do with a twin bed, instead of a double and the beds could do with new matrasses. The pillows were extremely thin. The bathroom is clean and well equiped but a bit small and when you are sitting on the toilet your knees are banging against the underside of the sink. The breakfast is just perfect and can be enjoyed until 11.30 am! There is parking available at the hotel for a small fee. Parking on the streets near the hotel is difficult as it gets very busy, especially during the weekends. Free parking is about a 3 km walk away. We were woken up every morning by the emptying of a glass container which was annoying. Overal though, our stay was nice and uneventfull.
