Not cheap, but great place!
The hotel (a real one, despite the misleading name...) is situated litterally on the sea, within walking distance of the Empuries greco-roman ruins. It used to be the house of the archelogists working on the excavation site, hence its location, right in a middle of a protected area (no other construction in view).
There is a nice footpath along the beach, taking you to l'Escala in the south (15mn walk, don't miss the anchovies), and to San Martin d'Empuries in the north (10 mn walk, cute tiny village with a few restaurants and bars)
There are 2 parts to the hotel, the main building, with classical accommodation, and half of the rooms with seaviews, and then the modern rooms, very spacious and well designed.
There is a gastronomic restaurant inside, and also a spa but we did not try any of them. Being with the kids we went for the buffet option which is quite nice as well, lots of choice and good quality.

We went there last autumn, actually it's probably a good idea to go outside the peak season, to enjoy the stroll along the seaside without sharing it with too many visitors...
