Tips for booking a hotel in Costa Brava
- Book your accommodation in advance. The sooner you can book it, the better price you’ll get. If you’re traveling between June and September, keep in mind that it’s high season on the Costa Brava, and especially on weekends, it tends to get crowded.
- Check if it’s adults-only or not. It’s important to verify this condition since many hotels are adults-only, meaning you won’t be able to stay with children.
- Proximity to the beach. If you’re traveling to the Costa Brava to go to the beach, it’s important to look for the hotel’s location and see how far it is from the nearest beach.
