Rosamar Es Blau 4*s - Adults Only

Rosamar Es Blau 4*s - Adults Only is built around a straightforward idea: a hotel for guests aged 21 and over, close to Lloret de Mar's beach and town, with enough facilities to keep a non-diving day occupied. You have an outdoor pool, a spa, several places to eat and a 24-hour reception, without children shaping the atmosphere around the pool or at dinner.

English is spoken by the hotel team, alongside Spanish, French, German and Italian. That matters when you are explaining an early start, asking about a meal plan or trying to sort out a practical detail with wet hair and a low tolerance for administrative theatre.

The adults-only policy is clear, and parties or events are not allowed. The hotel is intended for guests over 21, rather than for family holidays or young-group weekends.

You are in Lloret de Mar, Spain, on Passeig Acàcies, in the second line from the seafront. Lloret de Mar Beach is about 0.1 miles away, or roughly a two-minute walk, so the route from breakfast to the water is short enough not to require a tactical plan. Sun loungers and parasols are available by the beach.

The centre of Lloret de Mar is about a five-minute walk away. D'en Plaja Castle is only around 300 feet from the hotel, while Fenals Beach is about 1.2 miles away on foot. Santa Clotilde Gardens are around 2 miles away, and Tossa de Mar Castle is roughly 4.2 miles away, giving you a few alternatives when the day calls for something other than another lie by the pool.

For eating and drinking outside the hotel, Di Napoli and Da Paolo are around 400 to 450 feet away, with La Jijonenca about 550 feet away. Girona-Costa Brava Airport is about 19 miles away by road; Barcelona El Prat is about 55 miles away.

For two adults, the Standard Double Room is the uncomplicated choice: a double bed, private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, balcony, air conditioning and wardrobe space. Views vary between the city and the garden, so the room category is worth checking if what you want from the balcony is more than somewhere to stand with a coffee.

For three adults, the version with a large bed and sofa bed gives you the extra sleeping place without turning the room into a family arrangement. The adults-only policy still applies, naturally. Daily housekeeping keeps the room in order while you are out, and the lift serves the upper floors.

The useful post-dive details are here rather than hidden behind decorative wording: a refrigerator for cold water, an electric kettle for tea or coffee, air conditioning for cooling down, and a drying rack for clothes. You also have free WiFi, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, towels, slippers and complimentary toiletries. Balconies come with outdoor furniture, so you have somewhere to sit before dinner rather than balancing on the edge of the bed.

Breakfast is served as a buffet, which is the sensible format when your appetite has been sharpened by salt water and an early start. For later meals, the main buffet restaurant serves Mediterranean and international cooking, with daily show cooking and a changing themed corner. Lunch and dinner are available there.

Ferretti Sa Caleta takes a more informal route, with a terrace and sea views, Italian food, pizzas, pasta, crêpes, ice cream and drinks. By the pool, Ona Pool Snack Bar handles the less ceremonial moments with burgers, paninis, salads, crêpes, ice cream and drinks. Four restaurant outlets are available at the property, with these being the named dining options.

A bar, a snack bar and an on-site coffee house cover the gaps between meals. Special-diet menus can be arranged, including gluten-free options. If you choose a meal plan, drinks are not included, so budget for that separately rather than discovering it when the bill arrives.

Four outdoor pools give you a choice of pace. The main pool has loungers and the Ona Pool Snack Bar beside it, while the adults-only pool adds hydromassage and a chill-out area. A heated pool is available in the low season, and the hotel also has a smaller children's pool with slides. For an adults-only stay, the adult pool is the obvious place to settle with a book and let the rest of the world make its own arrangements.

The Vitality Spa offers a paid wellness area with massage and facial treatments, sauna, hammam, sensation showers and thermal relaxation loungers. There is also an indoor pool, hot tub and fitness room, with fitness and spa changing facilities. The gym has machines for strength and toning, and classes include zumba, pilates, cardio and abdominal work.

When sitting still loses its appeal, bicycle hire, bike tours and walking tours are available, along with evening entertainment and themed dinner nights. The hotel can also arrange excursions to Girona, Figueres, Montserrat and Barcelona. Cycling is available, while snorkelling, horse riding, windsurfing, tennis, squash and hiking are listed as activities away from the property.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to midnight, with check-out from 04:00 to 11:00. You need photo identification and the card used for the reservation at arrival, and the hotel asks you to share your expected arrival time. A 24-hour reception, luggage storage, lockers and a tour desk make late arrivals and awkward departure days easier to manage.

Private covered parking is available on site, but spaces are limited and the parking must be reserved for the full stay. Car hire is available, and the hotel has a lift, wheelchair-accessible units and upper floors accessible by lift. Free WiFi covers the whole hotel, while a safety deposit box is available at reception.

The nearest airport is Girona-Costa Brava, about 19 miles away by road. Barcelona El Prat is the longer alternative at around 55 miles. There is no hotel airport shuttle listed, so arrange your transfer or car hire before travelling rather than leaving the final leg to chance.
