It was a lovely 4-star hotel, staff were welcoming and the communal areas, reception, bar etc were great. Clean rooms with working air con, comfy bed and balcony. We had a sea view (over/around the other hotels) and it is a 3 minute walk to the beach with free sun loungers for the hotel (get in early). Nice area to walk around, felt safe, and a well-kept promenade for evening strolls. The all inclusive had a variety of food each day alongside the usual salad and chips and varying drinks (just check what is included). It was a really nice place to spend our honeymoon, unfortunately we had to leave early due to a family emergency, which staff were very understanding about, so didn't get to try all the entertainment, spa facilities and see the sights. We will be back soon I hope.

4 star when it was built in 1970 maybe..
I travelled through Spain snd France staying at various types of accomodation during September 23. This place was the worst by a long way. The advert was nothing like the place I stayed in. I could go on for hours about how poor this place was and how dissapointing the staff and facilities were but for the first time ever I will be writing an official letter of complaint to the CEO to demand a partial refund.

All was splendid, we loved the superior room. The only downside was that I was told in the evening the late check out is available, I called later in the evening (22/23) to book it and the night shift receptionist told me in an unusual manner he doesn’t have access to the system he needs (?) and in the morning it was no longer available. Still, we’ll definitely be back.

Food in the buffet was high quality but not hot. The butter was horrible. Too much fish and very little choice of vegetables. Fresh rolls were brick hard and toaster was very slow. No boiling water for tea. Had to purchase water with evening meal. Single room was great with a lage double bed and a fridge. Only news channels in English on TV but free wifi was excellent. Great location, handy for everything.

The hotel was spotless and constantly being cleaned. The food was excellent and a lot of fresh produce. The staff were very obliging, whether it was reception, bar or cleaning staff. We only stayed for the weekend. Next time we would like to stay at least a week. The beach is a 5 minute walk and the train station is about 15 minutes

Was not impressed with the superior room the ordianary rooms are just as nice. They didn’t look a bit like the photos. I gave up my bath for a dressing gown and slippers the photos showed tables etc. I never use the free toiletries anyway so the special toiletries were of no use. The tv only has 3 news channels and one music channel so wether it’s a posh one or the ordinary one it makes no difference. I will still be going back next year as usual but just booking the normal room and not bothering with upgrading for the extra money and no bath.

Terrible service - kitchen was not sure about what was vegetarian and what was not and served me non-vegetarian on the first day but luckily I spotted it early. The head person there was also quite moody with us just for asking what is vegetarian and in terms of hot food it was only chips but second day luckily there was some pasta too but mainly had to just eat the salad there. Their break was quite good. I think for a meat eater it is quite good with a lot of variety but they should also try accommodate vegetarians especially because we had asked before booking and even whilst checking in. Reception on check-in the guy was a bit rude but the day after there were two ladies who were nice. On the first day we actually went to the hotel across the road to ask for question as their staff was nicer and much more helpful even if we were not staying there. They like to charge for everything, even use of sauna which is ridiculous for a 4star. Water is not provided during dinner for half-board which doesn't make sense as it is provided for breakfast?

A really lovely hotel very well appointed and smart interior. Rooms are of a good size with fridge and soft chair + balcony. It’s close to the centre of Calella and all amenities of the local shops and restaurants.The WiFi is a problem as it’s constantly off in all areas of the hotel not just the bedroom. There is a wide variety of food in the restaurant,buffet style, and probably that can be a problem, a little less but more quality would be a lot better.

OK but it's not value for money
It's annoying that everything has to be charged and paid for on the spot rather than put on the tab. The staff don't have a good command of the English language so that I thought I had arranged parking and when I realised I hadn't, was treated shabbily as if I were trying to get free parking. I was not a pleasant experience when the receptionist, Teresa, began to raise her voice. Internet access is good but again you have pay on a daily basis and connections don't always go through immediately.

Needs managing!
I felt the hotel had all the amenities there but they were not properly managed, i.e. the food selection was good but unfortunately 'cold'! The condition of the bathtub in the room was thick with rust and mould around the top edge (rust doesn't happen overnight!!!) Paid for a parking spot which was unusable because there was broken glass everywhere.
