We arrrived in Lloret de Mar on the 28th September in 2006 and were staying till the 5th October. I went away with my mum and dad and my little boy..
On arrival the hotel looked wicked, but our minds soon changed the staff were vile and rude on the reception. The men were especially vile and the barternders were very rude too. The resturant staff were very nice and so were the cleaners.
The food was vile too. The same every night chips and chips and more chips and so was the snack bar same all the time.
I think the idea of getting 2 drinks for the bar is a good idea though,but no smoking, only allowed in one bar which you cant take children in is good.
There is nothing really to do in the hotel for kids. We went on trip to Marineland which was good but thats all there was to do with a active 15 month old boy. All there was left was the beach and I would not call it a beach it was stones hurt and hurt your to walk on.
The hotel is not in the right location banging all night and sirens all night if you want a peaceful holiday dont go here!!!
Would not say the hotel is a 4 star hotel at all. I have stayed in better 2 star hotels than this.
Better to go here if you are on a stag/hen weekend. I am a lively 22 yr old girl but the entertainment was rubbish. Need to do more there including new staff !!
Dont go with Sunstar lesire either as Pearla the transport who pick you up for the flight back dont turn up and you end paying for your own taxi to the airport. We know we did it waiting outside for 2 hours and the reception staff dont help out even though you have a one year old outside in the middle of the night worst hotel ever!!!!

My husband I went to this hotel in january 2006 for a few days and returned with our family in september 2006. We had a great time both trips and would go back hopefully september or october this year.
The food was OK always something for you to eat with a 2 year old daughter who is a funny eater she still managed to have something at every mealtime much the same as most all inclusive hotel and we have stayed at a lot.
The cleaners do a great job are room was cleaned every day and clean towels, rooms are a bit small when 4 of you are sleeping in it but really you don't go on holiday to spend it in your room well not when your having a family holiday.
Location was OK we like walking when on holiday its about the only time we do, you have to watch the busy road for the kids.
We didn't have a problem with any of the staff all very helpful we had problems with our transfer and the reception staff helped by phoning around for us to see if they could find anything.
The entertainment staff were first class great with the kids.
You have to make your holiday we all joined in with the games during the day we even all won a medal each except hubby he won a bottle of plonk.
Yes the hotel can be a bit noisy but other people are on holiday too thats not the hotels fault.
One tip for anyone who is going made use of the free bus to visit other htop hotels its great to see them all we have stayed at most of them now and we love the royal star.
Make the most of your holiday after all a holiday is what you make it.

We stayed at the Royal star for 11 nights. On the whole the hotel was good, it needs a little touching up a round the edges, but the rooms were clean and adequate.
The food was ok, I think on the whole all inclusive can be a little samey, but we managed to find something to eat everyday. They do have a good snack bar that is open when the restaurant is not.
The hotel is situated not far from the town, about a five minute walk. The front of the hotel is situated on a very busy main road, and there are sirens going all day. The only big down side to the hotel, was that is was very very noisy. People partying, banging on doors, which seemed to go on all night. Although we never used them, you can call security and they will endeavour to sort it out.
So if your're looking for a peaceful hotel, then take your earplugs!! All in all good value for money. Don't know if I'd go back though.

We weren't expecting 5* as we only paid 3* money but this hotel struggled to make 2* status!!! The hotel WAS spotlessly clean everywhere, all the time - even communal toilets in the bars etc. Food ranged from edible to downright terrible - lots of nice salads and lovely fruit so if you can live on those then you'll be fine (we did) but the rest of it: well, we couldn't figure out what most of it was meant to be but there was stacks of it and none of us (even fussy kids) starved nor did we feel the need to eat out. Queueing for drinks is a pain and the plastic glasses aren't that nice to drink from but for pool safety we quite understood this. POOLS FAR TOO SMALL for the size of the hotel and never enough chairs let alone sunbeds although we always managed to find something to sit or lay on in the sun. Wouldn't return (ever - too many other places to go) but it's really not that bad.

I have stayed in several Spanish Hotels, and the Royal Star is a typical example of one.
It gains its 4* status thro' having two large outdoor pools and one small indoor pool in the basement area.It also has a gym, free washroom faccilties and childrens play area on the groundfloor.
During my stay I found the staff and guests extremely friendly, we made many friends. There are three bars, a cabaret bar for the Spanish, which is really well air conditioned,a cabaret bar and an adult lounge
The location means you are five minutes from Fanals or Lloret but at the foot of the hotel is a busy dual carriageway, I have got to say this put me off I like to say in more tranquil surroundings, the siste hotel 2The Royal Beach" is a good example of this.
But all in all value for money I would probably stay at this hotel again.

We have just came back from a all inclusive holiday at the Hotel Royal Star in Lloret de Mar, and I must say that we had a splendid time, We really cannot fault the hotel for any-thing the staff were really helpful and pleasant.
The food was plentiful with plenty of choice & the hotel was spotlessly clean which suprised us after reading such awful reveiws about the Hotel we were wondering if we might have made a mistake in choosing it.
But thankfully we didnt and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at this Hotel with our friends and their 3 children
Everywhere was spotlessly clean.
The staff were all very curteous, espesialy the entertainment staff who were wonderfull with the adults but espetialy with the children playing games and in the pool etc.
The evening entertainment was very good
We all enjoyed ourselves and agreed that we would definately come back again.
The only downside was the food which could have been a lot better,but we always managed to get something.
When going out for a walk their are 2 sister hotels where you can call in for a drink (or meals by apointment)which we did regularly as we passed one on our way to the beach which was not too far away.

We stayed all inclusive which we would not do again, the food is the same day in day out so you do get fed up with it!
We heard about the Hungary Horse opposite and saw that there were plenty of other places to eat. For 3.50 euros you could get a meal with a drink so its cheap to eat out.
The kids enjoyed the kids club and the evening entertainment, but for the adults it was typical spain! the hotel was clean, the maids were friendly and so were the staff. Mind you, if you were AI the barmen seemed to pass you off quickly or ignore!
All in all we enjoyed the holiday, we wouldn't go back because once was enough, not in a horrible way. Its a good 20 minutes walk to the beach - beware - very very pebbily, no sand at all.
If you have booked please don't think we hated it, we made the most of our holiday but its something we would not do again. Great for kids.

Stayed in the hotel for one night out of seven, we were meant to stay in the Royal Beach but it was closed due to road works, you were only allowed to smoke in the "lobby bar" between the hours of 10am and midnight, this was the only place you could smoke so hence you were not allowed to view the entertainment if you wanted to smoke.
Full of Spanish, food the usual catered for the spanish.
Sorry can't tell you more but one night was enough for us we returned to the Pineda palace in Pineda and it was great, definetely recommended.

Very surprised because generally reports were not good.
Hotel airy and clean, leather suites in lounge, 3 bars.
Bedrooms very clean, hairdryer supplied as well as toiletries, even a retractable clothes dryer. Noise during night when people were returning from night out but you get this anywhere.
Different bars had different entertainment either disco, karaoke or sequence dancing/ballroom. You could visit other hotels within the group and have a drink using your card or if booked in advance you could eat there.
Did not find the pools because we just did not have the time to swim, only there 3 days, market was very busy.
Icing on the cake was the weather which was red hot from 26.3.06 until we came home 29.3.06.
We would definitely visit again.
