Hotel spotlessly clean with staff working long hours. Clean towels every day and apartment cleaned every day.

Food was very good though as with all inclusive not always quite as warm as it could have been. Plenty of choice though. Snacks (toasties, chips etc.) available all day.

Four minute bus journey into Tossa itself so the fact that San Eloy is quite isolated isn't a problem.

Entertainment team work very hard and unlike other All inclusives I've been to, the hotel bring in outside acts as well so a bit of variety. Kids disco every night becomes a bit boring but then I don't have small kids - it's great if you do.

I wouldn't make a point of coming back here but wouldn't turn it down if I was trying to get somewhere at the last minute (which is how I ended up here on this occasion). It certainly deserves more than the two and a half star rating it has.

My only complaint could be that there is no air conditioning and sleep was practically impossible. Also the wasps are around in their hundreds but that's not the hotel's fault !!

We vistited San Eloy for the first time and got back a few days ago. It is a brilliant hotel to stay in and the whole family had plenty of things to do throughout 2 stars !! I dont think so more like 4 stars!!

The food was nice but sometimes quite cold although they did change the food trays often.

The staff were polite and helpful and gizmo the free bus driver is wicked!

When we got there the room was spotless and was very spacious.

Overall it was a brilliant holiday and at the end I didn't want to go !!!

The Best holiday ever!!!! Just back after 2 weeks at San Eloy and had the time of our life. The hotel itself is 1.5 miles from Tossa town centre, but a shuttle bus runs on the hour free of charge from the hotel and back. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the hotel itself is spread out very well.

The food was great with a good choice at every mealtime. The drink was also very good. During day drinks are served in paper cups but at night we were receiving pint glasses of san miguel. Well impressed.

Entertainment was brilliant with games for adults seperate from the kiddies games. We thought we were on our second honeymoon as we never saw our 11yr old son until feeding time, as the five a side football pitch kept them occupied with his new friends all day.

The entertainment was great with a dufferent show everynight and the entertainers worked very hard to help everyone. The company was great with scots, english, irish, welsh etc mixing very well and had a great laugh.

We were only home a week when booked again for next year, so it must have been great as this is the first time I have done this before.

What a summer we had at this hotel the staff are fantatic from the domestic staff to managment.

The rooms are cleaned every day with clean white towels (whiter than white)the rooms are not hugh but they are equipt really well.

The hotel is situated in beautiful surroundings the views are fab from any where in the hotel.

The pool area is great with plenty of sun beds so you dont have to be down at 6am with a towel. There are three pools which are kept clean at all times.

One problem is there is no life guard so if you have young kids you have to watch them.

Overall its a fab place.

On arrival we found our room spotless and all areas were kept clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and towels changed every day.

We stayed all inclusive, and found the food of excellent quality, the buffet was varied and well maintained. There was also always food available at the bar which had a good selection of drinks and always served with a smile!

The complex is situated about 1-1/2 miles from the centre of Tossa de Mar set amongst trees by the side of the main road. The Hotel free bus service was very good and ran every hour with a very friendly and helpfull driver.

All the staff were warm and friendly and always good humoured and enjoyed a laugh and a joke.

The entertainment team worked very hard and were kind and caring, being especially good with the children.
We enjoyed the evening entainment which was well presented and varied.

The San Eloy is set is beautiful woods and hills approx 10 mins drive (30/45mins walk uphill) from Tossa de Mar.

The hotel shuttle bus runs every hour but the last one back from Tossa is at 9-30pm. It's about 6 euros by taxi. Lloret de Mar is a short inexpensive bus ride away.
There are several places that can easily visited by local bus - Waterworld, Marineland, Lloret etc.

Cleanliness in the hotel couldn't be faulted overall. However,the food was very hit and miss. Generally cold regardless of when we went for meals,there was usually a good variety of fish dishes (great if you like fish!), many of the meat dishes were very fatty. A good variety of salad was available at lunch and in the evening. The desserts menu was always much the same - mousse, a layer of the same thin sponge with different topping on, biscuits etc.

Restaurant staff clear and lay tables. On more than one occassion I left the table for some reason and came back to find my food had been taken! Waitng staff hovered to whip your plates away while you still had food in your mouth. Other guests complained of this also. The snack bar is very good - the food is always hot and tasty.

Bar staff, entertainments team, receptionists and everyone else were great. Helpful and keen to please. Entertainment was pretty good. A team of enthusiatic entertainers kept the guests happy with activities during the day and various shows in the evening - some of them amateur but hilarious! Audience participation played a major part.

I would recommend the hotel for families with children between 2 and 14/15. It's safe to leave them in the hands of the entertainers. My son is 18 and for much of the time he was bored! Playing pool at 2 euros a game, air hockey machines, table tennis, crazy golf etc all cost extra. TV's are in every room and in the bar but the channels are controlled by reception so don't be surprised if you lose what you're watching!

My mother was on holiday with us and doesn't walk too well sometimes. A lot of the rooms are up one or two flights of stairs. The supermarket, snack bar and restaurant are either up or downstairs.

It's also worth noting that the isn't a toilet on ground floor level unless you have one of the ground floor apartments.

I would go back to the San Eloy with my 13 year old daughter but don't consider it suitable for the elderly, those with walking disabilities or older teenagers.

When booking this holiday I was petrified of being dissapointed mainly due to the cheap price and 2 star rating of the accomodation. But after reading some of the reviews on this site we decided to give it a go.

Me & my boyfriend are 19 and assumed that most of the entertainment would be child orientated - however there are 2 childrens reps, 1 for the teenagers and 2 for the adults and activities for all 3 age groups take place during the day between 11 and 5. Darts, Tennis, Football, Mini Golf, Waterpolo and even "football tennis" are some of the activities. Theres no pressure to take part but we found it a nice break from lazing by the pool.

Unlike some hotels Ive been to - when we idled down to the pool at 12pm there were still plenty of sunbeds and we even managed to grab an umbrella. The fact that there are two decent sized pools (and one baby pool) may be a reason for this as everyone seemed spaced out.

Im a fussy eater but there was always something I liked at lunch and dinner. There is a large selection of desserts which was a nice surprise. The snack bar which serves Chips, burgers, hotdogs, ham and cheese sandwhiches and toasties as well drinks is great. The staff worked extremely hard and the food was always hot and quick.

The rooms were surprisingly big but can get alittle hot as there is no air con - my boyfriend found the temperature fine but a couple of nights i slept on one of the large settees in our twin room with the balcony open - which to be honest wasnt any great hardship as there was plenty of space.

Be careful with the phone onsite - it charges you to use prepaid phonecards (despite the receptionist ensuring us otherwise)and whilst on the phone using a prepaid card worthn

San Eloy was clean and tidy with the maids visiting every day to clean and change bedsheets.

The food was excellent it had a superb choice and was always hot.We stayed for two weeks and never ate the same thing twice.

The location could have been better but with a free bus into tossa de mar you couldn't really complain.Gizmo,the bus driver was extremely helpful and anything you need to know just ask him.

The staff at San Eloy were brilliant,you couldn't ask for better.There were 2 children entertainers,1 teenage entertainer and 2 adult entertainers,so no-one could possibly moan about this hotel only being based around children.

As I said we stayed for two weeks and we never saw the same show twice!!There were also games for adults and children to join in with onstage and the shows still continued in the rain.

With regards to visiting this hotel again,I would have to give a definite yes as given it was a 2 star it was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in.

So I say to you..................1,2,3, Adios!!!!

This is the second time we have been to these apartments and it seems to get better every time. Its ideal for families, there is always something for every one to do, adults and children alike.

Entertainment centres mainly around the children but as all parents know if your kids are happy then so are you.

All of the staff are helpful and friendly but full respect goes to the entertainment staff who work a long day which is solely dedicated to keeping the guests amused. The maid service is excellent, rooms are cleaned every day.

The food is plentiful and fresh but does become repetitive and a little more thought to menu planning would be a good idea there are sometimes some strange food combinations on offer.

The apartments are set just outside Tossa de Mar which is a short shuttle bus ride away, the bus is prompt and reliable. The beach is a short walk from the bus drop off point and Tossa is full of shops and bars if you fancy a change of scenery.

Overall we found the aparthotel San Eloy a fantastic value for money family holiday, many other families return year after year and we have not ruled out returning next year as we enjoy the relaxed friendly and safe environment this hotel offers.
