Valentin grand Park suite hotel, Peguera

Reserve a lounger around 7:30 for a prime umbrella spot, but expect plenty of availability after breakfast outside peak periods.

Book a private taxi instead of a shared airport transfer to save time; expect roughly €47–€50 or about £50 each way.

Request a pool-facing upper-floor room for afternoon sun, town views, and possible ocean views.

Eat breakfast before 9:00 or later in the morning, avoiding the busiest 9:00–10:00 period.

Expect steep hills around the hotel and between buildings, making it difficult for anyone with limited mobility.

Choose this hotel for a family-focused stay; children’s activities and entertainment may feel chaotic for adults-only trips.

Book the all-inclusive package for good value.

Book a larger room with a balcony for two children, as the smallest rooms can feel cramped.

Check the drinks-package terms, as the package applies only to drinks consumed in the restaurant.

Arrive early for evening shows to secure a good seat.

Take the local bus to Camp de Mar beach; it is one stop away.

Take the A11 bus from the airport; it stops directly outside the hotel.

Reserve a Balinese bed only if needed; unreserved beds are free.

Bring extra payment if you want meals around the pool, as they are chargeable.

Choose the right-hand side of the bay for easier entry, as the left side is stonier.

Plan pool time before 18:00, when the pools close.

Use the trees for afternoon shade when the main pool area is busy.

Use the wooded pool before 9:00 for the best chance of finding a spot.

Reach the adult pool early, as it becomes crowded quickly.

Use the nearby beach, bus stops, shops, and restaurants around the hotel.

Use Lidl for groceries, as it is cheaper than the supermarket at the roundabout and only slightly farther away.

Allow about 15 minutes to walk to the resort centre.

Explore the activities from day one, including yoga and volleyball.

Ask for drinks during dinner or in the evening, as waiters may not offer them.

Sit outside at the restaurant for a more tranquil setting.

Choose the later dinner sitting for a quieter meal, especially for adult groups.

Book excursions well in advance.

Book through Jet2 Holidays for coordinated flights and transfers.

Upgrade to Silver for more space and access to the sun deck.

Use the air conditioning during hot August stays.

Avoid rooms with individual beds if possible, as they may be uncomfortable and noisy.

Check the room is clean on arrival.

Use an extension cable, as apartments may have only two available plug sockets.

Tell the hotel about any physical disability before booking an apartment, as access involves many steps.

Request an east-facing room and balcony if you prefer that orientation.

Choose an apartment for extra space and request a pool view.

Upgrade to a Superior Room for a better room option.

Choose a lower-floor room if you want to avoid busy lifts.

Choose a sixth-floor room for a partial sea view.
