Silken Park Hotel San Jorge, Platja d'Aro

Advantages: Large and clean
Disadvantages: For the older generation

...for lively nightlife.The pool was a generous size and it had an area for kids to swim.There was also a small play park for younger kids.The hotel had a gymnasium that cost a little extra to use.It also had a small pool room and amusements. All in all it was a lovely hotel but more suitable for the older generation.The town itself is a bit cosmopolitan with many designer shops.The bars and restuarants are very nice and the discos open at 2am.We used the hotel to commute to many of the excellent golf courses in the region....

We got the airport bus which took us into the centre of the city and after struggling to get our bearings; we jumped into a taxi and got it to take us direct to the hotel. On arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by a very welcoming receptionist who promptly checked us in at 11am - considering we didn't think our room would be ready we were made up about this.
