I have recently come back from tossa centre hotel 23/05/08 and had an amazing time! I went on this holiday with my family as a late deal we found on tele txt, after booking i found this review page and absolutly dreaded going but believe me i was sooooo wrong! The flight took two hours and the transfair 45min then we were welcomed by a lovely english receptionist. We went to our room expecting the worse but again sooooo wrong! it was lovely and spacious. As we only arrived at 7.30pm we went strieght over to the sister hotel across the road for our evening meal there was plenty of variety for both meat eaters and vegitarians. I tried a bit of everything at each meal and couldnt find fault with any of it. i also tried some of the snacks which are more for the kids really as there mainly burgers chips and toasties. Plenty off beer and a big screen in the lounge (where we watched the match) Lager was a bit strong for my liking but the spirits went down like pop lol. The cups of tea were great and the coffee took some getting used to but were nice after that. The beach is a 2min walk away at the end off the road its a man made beach but lush! Theres plenty off shops and a supermarket near by incase you foret your towel or toothbrush like i did.

My family (wife and 2 children) have just spent 2 nights at this hotel on an all inclusive basis and generally had a good time. The hotel is rated 3 stars on the internet sites but actually displays 4 stars on its front signage! Due to the way star ratings are assigned in Spain (facilities such as swimming pool, darts board , etc, rather than quality of service, standard of comfort), I'd say it is a clean 1 star by UK/Irish/US standards. The premises has been recently been refurbished and the reception and bar areas are very smart. The rest of the refurbishment is cheaply executed but clean(there is not 1 picture or decoration or artwork - very utilitarian). We booked 2 rooms and they both squeezed 2 double beds into each 10 by 10 foot space. You could not walk around the beds. Both rooms had great balconies. Rooms were airconditioned but did not really cool - from my experiences, aircon in Spanish hotels tends to be very poor in comparison to other countries! As per other reviews, food was barely passable. resturant is in a basement in the hotel across the road. We eat there once and dined out after that - I'll say no more! The only entertainment in the hotel was a quiz every night @ 9:00pm. However, hotel is in an excellent location and plenty of bars close by. Beach was a 2 minute walk away. Drinks were all inclusive. Beer, G & T's and soft drinks were fine. Wine was poor - on tap - sweet and rough! Staff were friendly and polite as were the clientele.

the hotel was clean and the staff are fantastic but the major let down was the food. you have to go to the opposite hotel and its 3* but i wouldnt give it any stars it was unedible, after paying all inclusive we ended up paying to go out to the local resturants. the area is great though so i would recomend Tossa De Mar but not this hotel. dont get me wrong its cheap but ive been to a lot of cheap all inclusive hotels in spain and not complained as its too cheap to moan really, but this one was awful.

Just got back from 2 weeks on an all inclusive package at the Tossa Centre hotel with my wife and 4 year old son. We had a great time and the hotel was ideally located only 2mins walk from the beach. Tossa Centre has been refurbished recently so much nicer than the sister hotel Tossa Beach. Although we ate across the road in Tossa Beach - no different to walking from Rooms to Eating area in a Self-contained resort - if anything closer! Rooms were standard - all tiled and nice bathrooms. We ended up with 2 double beds! ITV1 on the TV kept us a little entertained when our boy went to sleep. Food was nice - loads of choice and plenty of salads and healthy options. Always a good selection to choose from so we always ended up with a plate of food we enjoyed. Desserts were a little poor - but then there was always fruit and ice cream to have. Hotel - clean and staff very friendly and really helpful when you aksed for info. We had a couple of occasions were I needed towels or extra loo roll and we got them within 20 mins of asking. Our shower rail broke at one point - but they'd fixed in the time it took us to go to breakfast and back. Tossa - really pretty and nice place to walk around especially the castle. Visited Lloret de Mar one day and travelled through it on the bus a couple of times and seemed like a real dive and just a place to go to get drunk and stay out late. Tossa was much nicer in comparison and quieter. Beach is great - gravely to the edges but in the middle smooth sand - so no problem for kids. Does have a steep drop off quite soon after the shore - but plenty of paddling space still. Kids Club: not great - as staff underqualified and no proper policies in place from what we could see. Don't expect to be able to leave kids there all day. I noticed as we were leaving that they put up big signs with a huge weekly programme so maybe due to low season they did very little. But we weren't too bothered as we'd gone to spend time as a family! Day Trips: a few things to do. Glass Bottom Boats, boat trip to Lloret de Mar, plenty of excursions available to Barcelona and other places through the hotel. For info: if you want to go to Barcelona you can get a bus from the station direct to the city centre. It costs 9 Euros per person one way. So it worked out at about £50 for the 3 of us so not cheap! Meals in Tossa Restaurants - generally between 13-15 Euros for set 3 course meals. Everything quite expensive though due to weak £. I'd recommend Tossa and the hotel to anyone who wants a cost effective holiday and is not too fussy about their food. Tossa itself is beautiful. Although I'd probably not go back as we did everything you could do there in the 2 weeks and we'd always go somewhere new each time.

We stayed in Tossa Center from April 12th to the 15th and we all enjoyed our 4 day break. This was a family break and we are aged 54, 28, 24 and 23. I wouldn't really recommend this area (Tossa de Mar) to teenagers or twentysomethings looking for a lively holiday, they should definitely go to Lloret de Mar for that. Didn't bother booking transfers- got a taxi from Gerona airport to hotel for 55 Euros (should cost 50-55). The hotel itself is clean and modern looking (as opposed to its sister hotel Tossa Beach). Our rooms were quite small but cosy and clean, two double beds in each room. The balcony views were very dissapointing, but we couldn't be bothered to complain. The TVs have 5 or 6 channels of which two are English: BBC World (news) and ITV (hurray!). The cleaners do come to clean rooms daily, although they didnt ever manage to get to our rooms (which were on the first floor) till mid-afternoon time and if you're still in your room they won't bother. The hotel staff (reception, bar staff) were all very friendly and helpful. Food is not great but luckily for me I happily eat anything! Did enjoy the English breakfasts in particular. Food served at sister hotel across the road. All inclusive drinks were 2 per person at a time, and the whiskey is strong! Hotel entertainment consisted of a quiz every night at 9pm at Tossa Center, but it seemed much more lively (a euphemism!) at the larger Tossa Beach Hotel. The Tossa area is amazing, lots of shops and restaurants, but you must get to grips with the siesta timings. The castle is beautiful and there are bars and restaurants up there too. No night life here though, so expect to be in bed by 12am as that is when the hotel bar closes and there aren't any local bars, maybe beacause of the season. Definitely worth taking a bus ride for around 1.50 Euros to Lloret de Mar to spend the day there just for a livelier change of scenery, but apparently it is very rough there at night. This was perfect for 3nights but if I was there for longer I would probably end up jumping on a bus to Lloret de Mar as there's more to do there. It is worth mentioning that the guests are predominantly white British and we are an Asian family; if you are not white, expect to be stared at and given a few dirty looks (from the English, not the Spanish!), although generally people were friendly. Definitely worth the price paid (£150pp), although not sure if I would be saying that if we had stayed in Tossa Beach Hotel.

just got back from 4 days at the tossa centre,cost £110 each all inclusive, rooms cleaned each day, 2 double beds in our room, the rooms came with air con or heating, we used the latter,service was excellent, food ok,you wont starve! if you like a wet shave ,good luck im 5ft 7in and the refurbished rooms have a circular hand basin thats about 4ft off the floor you cannot bend over to rinse the foam off as the tap protudes most of the way over the bowl and is fixed, the beach is a short walk away and the resort is quite small and quiet as all bars seem to shut at midnight,it must be hell to get on the beach in high season but there is a smaller beach to your left which has a nice little bar at its furthest point,our only complaint is that on arrival at barcenola airport there wasnt anybody to meet us through sun4u holidays we had to wait until midnight, nearly 2hrs after landing and then we left with 5 other travelers for tossa, we arrived at our hotel at 2am after dropping off all the others, i would say that if we landed at gerona it would have taken half the time,but, we always make the best of our breaks and would reccomend tossa de marr and tossa centre hotel for a weeks break, thankyou spain , mr and mrs d j collier, i am 63 going on 18, my wife is 57 going on 21.

We spent the New Year at Tossa Center. What a lovely place. The staff were really friendly. The hotel rooms were very spacious and clean. The food was fairly repetitive and ok if you liked chips and pasta. Best to go down early as did not get replenished as it run out towards the end of the meal. We had to eat in sister hotel across the road which we didn't mind. Although nice to get back to our own Hotel to relax. The sister hotel okay for families with children. Not a good time to go if you want to look round the area as most of Tossa closed down for the winter but still enough to do for a few days

This hotel is a complete joke! (TOSSA CENTER) we paid for a four star all inclusive hotel and was really looking forward to it, the flight was very straight forward, the transfer to the hotel was pleasant, But that's where it ends!!.. We arrived at the hotel at 11pm on the 8th November 2007 and went straight to our room 1121, we are a family of four so was shocked to see there were two double beds pushed together with about a foot space to walk around the bed. the tiny balcony was facing a brick wall and the bath... ..well I thought a camera crew were going to jump out and it was a big joke , but no, the bath was about 2.1/2 foot long, seriously!!.. you don't even get a bar of soap in your room.. and the toilet paper is tracing paper make... MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY WENT DOWN TO RECEPTION TO COMPLIANT AND THE RECEPTION GUY TOLD US TO SEE THE MANGER ACROSS THE ROAD AT ITS (3 STAR) SISTER HOTEL IN THE MORNING AND WE WILL BE MOVED TO A LARGER ROOM, SO WE DIDN'T GET UPSET THAT NIGHT KNOWING WE WILL BE MOVED, BUT IN THE MORNING AFTER REALISING ALTHOUGH WE PAID FOR A FOUR STAR ALL INCLUSIVE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO EAT IN A 3 STAR SISTER HOTEL AS THE FOUR STAR DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RESTAURANT, I ASKED THE RECEPTION LADY WHAT TIME THE MANAGER WILL BE IN, AND SHE REPLIED IN A RUDE MANNER, 'WHY YOU WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER?', WHEN I EXPLAIN THE ROOM WAS NOT SUITABLE FOR OUR FAMILY AND WAS TOLD THE PREVIOUS NIGHT WE WILL BE MOVED SHE SAID 'COME BACK IN HALF HOUR'.. AFTER RETURNING HALF A HOUR LATER THE FAULTY TOWERS MANAGER CAME OUT TO RECEPTION SAYING 'I DIDN'T TELL YOU I WAS GONNA MOVE YOU,,DID i?,, ALL THE ROOMS ARE THE SAME SIZE, GOODBYE'.. The food was gross! and most of it not cooked ,,the SAUSAGES looked like they just came out of the packet! The staff look down on you, and the accommodation is certainly not fit for a family, I've seen kennels bigger, it does not deserve a 4 star, maybe a 2 star, and that's being GENEROUS!!!!!............... don't go save your money and spend it on your home!! we wish we did, its put us off going away for a long time... I read the bad reviews about this hotel before going and thought,, there are so many moaning people out there who are never happy, and i took no notice, but believe me, the reason these people including myself write a review when they usually wouldn't is because this hotel is a complete waste of money and you will only be disappointed.. don't say i didn't warn you!.. also watch out for the wardrobe doors, they have a habbit of falling on top of you when they come off the brackets!

Stayed in the 70 room hotel. Sister Hotel accross the street for restaurant and entertainment. Beach only a few minutes from hotel Staff friendly and speak good English. Rooms cleaned every day. Adequate sized room. Small pool for kiddies. Larger pool acoss the road. All inclusive was 2 drinks per person Restaurant was the usual Spanish fare and restaurant was clean. Entertainment for children was usual mini disco plus singers, animals etc Only critism of the the place was no shower curtain. Tossa de Mar itself has loads of cafes and restuarants. Not sandy beaches but gravel. Boats from Beach go to Lloret De Mar and Santa Sussana. You can stroll up to the Castle
