Probably the least interesting resort in that part of Costa Brava: concrete, tacky and overdeveloped. Beaches are fine: gently shelving coarse sand. Lots of families and day trippers. Haven't stayed at that hotel. If you can afford it, s'Agaro a few miles south is smart and pleasant, as is Sant Feliu de Guixols, a working port with an old monastery church and plenty of Spanish atmosphere. Or go further north around Calella de Palafrugell: lovely coves among tamarind trees, and quieter.

I was in the area last August, and it was very busy (not impossibly so...). By second week of September it should have quietened down quite a bit, while the weather is still warm enough for a swim. Obviously a car would be a help, but local bus companies (mainly Pujol and Sarfa) run reasonable service between resorts, and taxis aren't too expensive.
