We felt the Sa Riera beach was the best-of-all-worlds location in terms of size and amenities and Gloria's apartment is perfectly situated with a knockout view. In addition to tons of time in the water, we also explored the coastal paths and walked the hill to Begur. There were mosquitoes in the evening (no screens) which we weren't prepared for, but bought a wall fumigator and some bug spray and that worked fine. And while the apartment stays somewhat cool with the breeze through the front window, when the wind dies down it is quite close -- some fans inside would help.
