The morning receptionist welcomed us with a very warm smile. She gave us an option to choose our room. Breakfast is included (no other bars or restaurants opened!). It was generous and delicious: fruit bowl, a sandwich, pastries, tea and coffee. I’m vegetarian and on the third day I requested a slight change in the breakfast, a grilled cheese sandwich and an omelet with no extra charge. They were very accommodating. No problems parking near the hotel. The staff always had a smile, looked happy and greeted us.
Pros: Despite being a small, basic room, it was very comfortable to relax, read and look at the sea. Room 102 with a beautiful view of Llafranç. Roomy, long balcony with table, chairs and lounge chair. Very comfortable bed. Clean sheets. Bathtub. Rain shower. Wardrobe. Hooks. Chairs. Mini fridge. Table.
Cons. Humming sound at night. Room is above the restaurant. Bad finishing touches. Simple repairs needed in room: skirting board, leaky shower door, scratches on floor, light on headboard, light switches, balcony door. But that did not spoil our stay.
We had the 8 course tasting menu and had the sommelier and our lovely waiter Joe recommend wines. The food arrangement was exquisite and the portion perfect for such a big meal
we arrived at 1.30 and left at 5.30pm.
Despite its obvious good reputation this place was not stuck up, the chef visited all the tables and his sister was excellent in front of house.
We were 950E all up for 8 and had a good go at the wine so no complaints from us.
At breakfast we were shown to the worst table with almost no one there--changed to a table with a view. The view is killer. Dinner on the second night--shown to the same bad table, with almost no one there. Asked to change, but were told that others had booked before us. (Or is it that tourists, who may not return, don't get the best tables and service, preferring to have locals with repeat business?)
The sommelier placed a sideways touch-screen computer on a stand on our table. Told to use the buttons--wine-region-year-price, etc.--and up comes views of available bottles. Two Ribera del Dueros came up--directed to the more expensive one, of course, 139 euros. Asked if there was a chardonnay-type offering by the glass for the amuse bouche. Poured a "Macon" which was ice cold, bitter. Did they save the corked wine for tourists? The Ribera was full of tannins--opposite of our desired style choice. So, why have a sommelier at all?
The tasting menu had several issues--they brought over a round of sourdough and a guy in a toque made a big deal about pouring a teaspoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Then they brought over a warm, dry rosemary muffin. Huh? Amuse bouche were so-so. One course was two small cold shrimp in a bowl, then the toque guy poured warm, brown sauce over them--was the sauce cooked from shrimp shells? Yuck. My fish, sea bass or dorada was underdone, my wife's was done well. Other courses were not memorable. We travel to Europe three months a year, and know good food and wine and speak Spanish. Whether Omikase or Haute Cuisine--we've had them all--this place just doesn't measure up.
One more thing--no one ever "engaged us" in English or Spanish the entire time we were there...goog morning, how was your day, happy to have you stay with us. Nada.
The mattress is super thin and one does not rest well. I have slept better in hostels that cost €15 a night. So price quality does not match.
Breakfast, I would add the eggs to the menu and not charge extra since one pays €20 for a breakfast, and I think that it includes coffee, a sandwich and orange juice is not correct. You pay for the views but it has to accompany it with the gastronomy too.

Our room had spectacular views of the Llafranc waterfront and was spotless clean with a terrace and modern bathroom. The dining room is stunning with phenomenal views. Breakfast were both plentiful and delicious. The restaurant serves gourmet cuisine from locally sourced produce, fish and meat.
I would be amiss not to mention Ester, who manages the front desk and reservations for the hotel and restaurant. It seems almost no request is too difficult for her to manage. We plan to return this summer and in future years!
