This small, mid-range hotel is situated across the street from the beach in the town of Roses, close to restaurants, bars, and shops. Each of its 37 spacious rooms sleeps up to four people thanks to pullout sofa beds, and many have sitting areas and balconies. Apart from the on-site seafood restaurant, the hotel has no other public spaces, but guests spend most of their time at the beach or exploring the area anyway. Breakfast is charged extra and served buffet-style, and Wi-Fi is free -- though it can be patchy in certain spots. Nearby Hotel Marina offers serious competition with its setting by the beach and list of features that includes a rooftop pool, spa, and fitness center, though decor here is a bit dated.

Canyelles Platja is an upper-middle-range hotel directly across from a scenic sandy bay with a beach accessible by tunner. The 99 rooms are done up in a chic and modern style, each has a balcony and some have spectacular sea views.

A continental breakfast buffet is included in room rates and Wi-Fi is available throughout at no extra charge. Travelers may also want to consider staying at the nearby sea-facing Vistabella, which has a Michellin-star restaurant.

Located on the seafront near Roses, this three-pearl property is a solid choice for Costa Brava-bound vacationers looking to be close to the beach. Its 167 guest rooms -- the best which have water-view balconies -- all come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and a rustic-refined decor that extends into the common areas. For many guests, though, the real draws are the sandy strand below plus the property’s own fun-in-the-sun features: most notably a four-season outdoor pool and a lawn for sunbathing. There's also a buffet-style restaurant that offers add-on meal plans, as well as a bar and lounge area with seating indoors and out. Guests wanting more in the way of fitness facilities should consider the nearby Prestige Victoria instead -- it’s a mid-range sister hotel where the features include a pair of pools, a spa and a gym.

Built almost 50 years ago, the Almadraba Park Hotel is an upper-middle-range property with a retro vibe overlooking the Bay of Roses on the Costa Brava, about two miles from the town center. Its 60 rooms and six suites, all with terraces or balconies and terra-cotta floors, have water or mountain views. The '70s-era furniture is simple, and guests are divided as to whether they like it or hate it. There's a lap pool and whirlpool on a large deck with a steep staircase to the sea and beach below. The grounds include tennis and squash courts. Guests rave about the food in both the casual and more formal restaurants. Full- and half-board dining packages are offered. Families may prefer the Hotel Mediterraneo Park and Hotel Mediterraneo, which includes a children's camp.

The Hotel Mediterraneo Park is a modern, sleek upscale property with 200 rooms -- it shares facilities with the mid-range Hotel Mediterraneo next door. Many rooms have balconies that overlook mountains and greenery. It's a five-minute walk to the beach at the Bay of Roses. Both hotels share a spa, and a fitness center, plus three pools, including one for children. A downside is the long lines at the buffet, and rooms can be a bit noisy at both properties. Guest rooms are spacious with contemporary furniture and free Wi-Fi. Outdoor activities include mini-golf, table tennis, and cycling with rented bikes. Travelers seeking a smaller, less-congested hotel might want to consider Vistabella resort.

The Hotel Carmen is a small, two-and-a-half-pearl hotel in the oldest part of Roses -- about a five-minute walk to the beach. Its 24 rooms, with their glazed terra-cotta floors and color-washed accent walls, have a Mediterranean flair, but they vary considerably in size; some have terraces and outdoor showers. A buffet breakfast -- which includes cooked-to-order eggs -- is included in room rates, and it can be taken inside or outside. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and coffee, tea, and water are available all day. The property is housed in three renovated fishing cottages, and guests say its style and ambience evoke the Costa Brava of decades past. The biggest downside: There's no pool, which even budget hotels in the area provide. Grecs Hotel is a good alternative with similar rates and a pool.
