Santa Susanna Hotels In July
FERGUS Style Mar Mediterrania
While Santa Susanna is very popular with families, the adults only FERGUS Style Mar Mediterrania is the ideal place to stay for those that want a more adult-themed holiday. The rooms are modern and well maintained, so too are the public areas. And because it's adults only around the pool as well, there are far more grown-up style activities going on. The cocktails are lethal, the atmosphere is fun and the staff are full of enthusiasm. Even the night time entertainment is not to be missed. The hotel is also ideally located for the beach, bars and restaurants and even the train station. The only problem with staying at the FERGUS Style Mar Mediterrania is that you may not want to leave.
Thalassa Apartments
Located next to the Tahiti Playa hotel, the Thalassa Apartments offer all the benefits of cost effective self-catering accommodation, but with the benefit of being able to use the facilities of the hotel next door. Rather than having to walk in through the front of the lobby, there is a short cut from the apartments to the hotel's pool. And you are more than welcome to use the bars, pool table and table tennis facilities as well. At the apartments, the rooms are compact but well equipped, and there are lots of local amenities close by. It's the ideal way to stay within budget, even on a peak July holiday, but still have the facilities of a top quality hotel.
Can Roisch
Can Roisch is one of only a few B&B's in Santa Susanna. But it is definitely a fabulous place to stay. This working farm is approximately 2 miles from the main strip in Santa Susanna and therefore offers the perfect combination of beach holiday and an idyllic get away. Be welcomed by owners Mateu and Montserrat as if you were family, and be treated as if you were all through your stay. Enjoy homemade meals, exceptional standards of cleanliness and beautiful views of the valley across the sea. For outstanding service, beautiful tranquillity and easy access to the Costa Brava, why stay anywhere else?
Santa Susanna Beaches For July
