Evenia Olympic Palace

Very pleasant and helpful staff esp Vanessa at the reception. Went out of their way to make us comfortable and made us feel at home all the time

The hotel was good, our room was excellent - in fact we had a mini suite, as there are two rooms, one the bedroom and then the loung with a comfortable sofa and a second TV. There is a useful fridge and a microwave, very useful for a cuppa tea!! We also had a nice balcony which was south facing so we enjoyed the sun in the afternoons and evening - great for the glass of pre dinner wine which was kept cold in the fridge! But we were disappointed that we were expected to pay for WIFI & also pay for the Gym/sports centre/spa etc.. and it was not cheap. There was NO tourist information available either in the room or in the hotel which was also very unusual. It is a hotel complex with 3 other hotels in the block. Long walks along corridors to the rooms, they could almost use a travelator!! A map of the hotel complex would be very useful too, it is so big and youhave to go to another area for the evening entertainment and for the pool. The breakfast was extensive & the dinner the same. Both buffet style& serve yourself but after 3 days we decided not to have dinner the 3rd night!!! Thought they could have included a carafe of vino in the evenings! Cost for wine from the carte was not cheap either. But there were very few other restaurants open, (there were kebab/hamburger places open - ugg!) at this time of the year (March 4-7th) & it was Carnival time too so we had to make do with what we could find!! Having said all that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, carnival was great & the receptionists were VERY helpful especially in the absence of tourist information available in the hotel. It is very easy to park your car at free places on the roads right next to the hotel so no need to use the underground hotel car park - (charge I think was 12 euros). Entertainment was good in the evenings, flameco dancing, line dancing, etc something for everyone too during the daytime. All in all hotel good, facilities good - but watch the costs. Dining OK but remember it is buffet style not gourmet!! Oh we didn't get toiletries replaced after the first day. 3 nights with 1 bar of soap - lucky we had our own!! The bus station is about 5 minutes walk & easy to get to Tossa - fantastic place with lots of must see places and a great beach cove.
