The Festamar apartments L'Estartit is a very clean family based apartment block.

All the staff are friendly and helpful.

Food at Dino's is inexpensive and of reasonable quality.

The apartments are around the corner from the large clean beach.

Roy the entertainer makes your holiday even more enjoyable, he's so friendly and helpful and excellent at all he does, what more can we say.

We went there last year, and went back for more!!!

If I had a family I would definitely travel there again it was great for families as Dino's bar has great entertainment for adults and kids, (I even dressed my partner as a woman) What a sight. He also won on the bingo and another couple we met there did the same.

It was a late deal we booked and worth the money.

Hotel was clean and the pool was great we had a choice of three as there was 3 parts to the hotel.

All in all top holiday bit quiete for my liking but I am only 20 so love the night life but perfect for families.

We had a weeks stay at the festamar in October with the weather on average about 80 degrees.
The hotel was clean and tidy with a medium sized pool but beware the water is cold because the sun does not get on it much.
The food in dino's was ok but it was hard work trying to get a smile out of the staff!
Dan and Naomi the reps were good and very helpful if needed, Roy the DJ was a real good laugh, I won a bottle of wine on the karaoke and gemma won one for stuffing marshmallows in her mouth and having to say fluffy bunnies each time! Ha ha the memories!

The festamar hotel was clean and tidy. But unfortunately the cleaners did not do such a good job with the rooms as there was sand all over the floor and we even found a babies dummy under the sofa. The reps were ok. We did book to go to Gerona market but it got cancelled the night before.

The food at dino's was ok but the food at the barracuda bar was excellent.

I have just came back from 1 weeks holiday in the Festamar Hotel. Both myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our time there and found the staff and the reps to be really friendly. The food in Dinos Bar was excellent and Roy the DJ was excellent and very entertaining. The apartment itself was very clean.

When we arrived it was about 7am, so we made the 2 single sofa beds up in the living room as they had not been prepared, bearing in mind they were aware that we were a family of 4.

The chap on Reception when we arrived does not speak any English, although he was nice and helped as much as he could. Dan gave us the keys.

The lift started playing up and we were in a room opposite Festestar which turns out to be part of the same group of Festemar, but for the French. We were also opposite Brannigans. We tried to get a bit of shut eye and that was next to impossible; as we tried to sleep then the seagulls were screaming their heads off - that is probably the only criticism I or my family would have of the hotel it self and really there is nothing that can be done about it apart from shooting the damn things! You do get used to the screaching though - eventually!!

The staff on Reception were lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. Some of the bar staff were a little miserable EXCEPT the man with the glasses on, he was always cheerful and friendly. Maybe the other bar staff should take a leaf out of his book !??

You were left a note to say the maids would be calling 'tomorrow' so please tidy your room basically to make their job a little easier I expect. One time they came at 10am which was smashing, but the next time they came to clean the room at 6pm and I thought that was a little out of order, so I asked them just for the clean sheets and towels and left it at that.

We paid 30 euro when we arrived at the apartments for a late check out which is worth it if you have an early hours flight home like we did, being picked up at 2.45am on the Sunday morning! We therefore checked out at 5pm on the Saturday. If you book it in England with the Travel Agent apparently you can stay in the room until 6pm though, but I was quoted substantially more for that service when booking the holiday and left it knowing that we could pay Reception for late check out.

When you go to the pool then you must pay 1 euro for a sunlounger. At first I thought that was a little odd but on reflection, I suppose it stops what can happen in some countries of some people putting their towels on the sun loungers at 5am, and taking all the best spots for the sun! Maybe it is not such a bad idea after all!!

We shopped for necessities at the supermarket which is left from the steps coming up from the games room and across the road. They cater for everyone and all nationalities in there although you are not allowed to take your bag into the shop and have to leave it behind the cigarette counter with the girl who will give you a ticket to collect it at the end of your shopping.

We never ate in Dinos but from what I saw, the food looked decent enough and you got a decent quantity.

My wife,myself and our 6 year old daughter stayed at the festermar appartments the last week of august.The hotel was good,the reps,Naomi and Dan were friendly and very helpful with any queries we had during our stay there.Roy the entertainments rep was very good,he was great with, both, adults and children alike always ready to crack a joke and have a laugh.The beach was superb,only about 5 mins walk from the hotel.The "wally trolly"(the little blue train that picked you up outside the hotel)was a great way to see the resort dropping you off at the marina.Being a self catering hoilday the local supermarket stocked everything you needed.The food in Dinos was good also good value for your money.The Kidzone club was superb,our daughter loved going to it every day.

We booked a late deal which was a 1 bedroom apartment which I expect was for 3 - 4 people. It was huge, sofa bed living area, dining area, good well stocked kitchenette for self catering. Lovely big clean bathroom - brilliant shower and twin bedroom with big wardrobe space. Both the bedroom and living area had slide doors onto the balcony.

Our room was in the main part of the festamar and I thought it was very very quiet. I didnt hear a peep of noise of outside and we could even see the sea from our balcony.

All in all I thought the hotel was clean. The reps helpful where needed (only once)!

Dinos bar served great food. I thought the staff were always polite (if a little sullen at times!).

There was not a great deal to do for a couple but we had fun taking part in the quiz night / bingo night.

it was amazing the reps were great dan especially. we love roy he does the entertainment in dino's and likes to think he's 21 when doing the bingo and quiz night. we loved the water vollyball he did with us in the pool and we played the swiss at the beach and won. paul is at tropic just round the corner the atmosphere there is great. ranchos is also just around the corner and is great for the younger ones. i think it would be pointless going back if roy isn't there because he creates all the fun and activities. it has enspired me to go out there to live. but if i don't ill be there same time next year with some of the other guests we made good friends with (hey booby) 11-07-04 until 18-07-04.
