L'Estartit, Festa Platja Apts

This was our first time to L'Estartit and the Festa Platja Apts. The staff, apts and area were just what we needed. Everyone is so friendly. The apts and complex are very good value for money. The kids were well entertained (as well as the adults)!!!

The town was fairly quiet tourist wise, which suited us fine, although I can imagine there would be a fair old buzz in the height of the season. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and will definately be returning.

We took a taxi from the airport, but in hindsight, you can get the bus to Girona bus station and within a short time get another bus to L'Estartit. This costs a lot less than a taxi. However, if ur arriving early, it's worth it to pay a little bit extra. The buses hav air con and r very comfortable. The taxi firm we used on arrival was Kings of L'Estartit. Very nice driver, Martin, who was very informative and helpful. This was the cheapest taxi and was organised by Carol at Barracuda Bar. Can't wait to return. :) Probably will hire a car for a few days next visit altho not necessary. Brill altogether.

We first went to L'Estartit in 2000, just the two of us, my hubby and I. We relaxed like we had never relaxed before. 2 Weeks of doing nothing on the long beautiful beach of L'Estartit. We stayed in the Festa Mar apartments. We had a sea view apartment on the third floor. It was clean a little basic, but all you needed really. L'Estartit itself is a lovely cove and has lots of eating places and a lovely unspoilt little town with little shops. We always said that when or if we had children it would be the 1st holiday place abroad we would take them. Well we first took our two little boys to L'Estartit in September 2006 for 2 weeks. They were 3 and 4 years old. We had a great time. They loved the beach. We stayed in the Festa Playa apartments underneath the Barracuda Bar run by English people. It's a great place with a swimming pool with a slide. Its lays side by side with the Festa Mar the swimming pools back onto one another. The entertainment is good and the food excellent value for money. We booked the holiday through the Barracuda Website and they booked our transfers and Apartment. We booked our flights with Ryanair and flew from Stanstead to Gerona. The boys and us had such a good holiday we booked again for 2007. Where again we had a fun time. We plan to go back in 2009. We would recommend it to anyone with a young family. Who needs a low budget holiday.
