Hi All, Does anyone remember the President Park Hotel on Just Marles? We stayed there in July 1970. I believe that it's been renamed the Hotel Helios. Has anyone got any memories of this hotel?
Thanks for reading this.

In 1978 there was a bank or post office robbery in Lloret...the robbers dumped some of their cash outside of Petes Bar ( next to the Hof van Holland) and from my parents hotel room in the Helios I watched the police arrest them at gun point in front of La Masia/tramps. Just like The Sweeney.

Yes -I holidayed there in June 1970. Full board for 2 weeks £40 !!! Had a wonderful time, my first holiday abroad aged 21. Bars, nightclubs, holiday romance (cried for weeks after I came home!). Wonder if they still do the trips to barbecue in the hills?Great night -food and all the sangria you could drink thrown in. Happy memories!

Stayed there in 1973. I was 12yrs old. Traveled with Clarksons/Court Line, the holiday firm that brought foreign holidays to the common people.

Spent a fortnight there in 1971. The management and board of Tranmere Rovers were in residence for a few days as the club was playing FC Lloret in a friendly but the players were lodged elsewhere as the President Park was too upmarket! I was 8 years old but I can clearly remember the food being awful and the lift-shafts very near to our rooms let the kitchen smells percolate throughout the hotel. Still enjoyed my time there though and often thought back fondly of Lloret.

I stayed at the President Park in 1970 when I was 18. I went with my grandmother! We had an amazing holiday. It was my first trip to Spain. Hotel was OK but the food was awful. We had to eat out. I still love Spain now and visit regularly.

My first holiday abroad aged 9 in 1971 was staying at The President Park Hotel. Flew on a comet aircraft. I can still remember clearly diving on to a lilo in the pool for the 1st time. I remember a nearby amusement arcade with some rides. The Flamingo hotel was next door I think. A fantastic holiday,making friends. Such an impact on me that I still find myself thinking back on my 1st holiday to Spain.
