Costa Daurada, Spain Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Astari was a very satisfactory hotel. It was quiet, but within a reasonable walk of all the sights. The staff was very helpful. There was garage parking available, but we had no trouble finding nearby street parking (this was in November).

Tarragona is a bustling port that has great examples of Roman and Medieval occupation. There is plenty of modern art and architecture as well as the older examples. We flew from Manchester to Barcelona (avoid Friday if you find stag & hen parties tiresome) and then took the 21 Plana bus from Terminal One to Tarragona, cost €12.90 each. That took about an hour and the Hotel is situated in the complex as the bus station. From the Hotel the old quarter and most of the examples of Roman buildings were around 10 to 20 minutes walk away. Although most of the sites charge this is only a few euros and half price for concessions. The aquaduct is 4km from the centre and the local bus drops you off nearbyon the side of the dual carriageway. Just walk back towards Tarrgona 30 metres or so and follow the exit road to the left and the park is just above. Although the path towards the aquaduct is OK, if walking on uneven ground is a an issue then you may need some support. To return to Tarragona return to the bus stop where you alighted and catch the the bus - it goes to the local town before returning to Tarragona. The fare was €1.45. We found that all the people we came across were extremely helpful, despite our limited Spanish/Catalan. There are many places to eat although the siesta does mean that options are limited in the afternoon. Although we were more interested in the Roman exhibits we did view the Contemporary Art exhibition and found it most enjoyable.

Moderno, nuevo y limpio, a pocos minutos de Port Aventura(llegamos caminado), Absolutamente recomendable!! En especial para familias numerosas. Brand new hotel, very clean and neat, all apliances new. Excellent hotel!! A few minutes to Port Aventura ( 10 minutes walking).

Great Hotel......loved the room, staff, and location. Excellent customer service and awesome dinner buffet. Lots of ameneties. Cost for the property very reasonable. Would highly recommend and would stay there again.

It was a very nice hotel. The location wasn´t as convenient as it could have been as it was far from the old city and the main attractions. Also, for us it was a 10 to 15 minute walk from the bus station. There was a city bus stop very close by. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was a cold buffet but very nice.

Stayed for two nights. Friendly staff, room very stylish and clean. We will be booking again.

We really loved this hotel. Perfect location across from beach, walk everywhere. Unbelievable breakfast Beautiful views. Staff was helpful and very accommodating. We would love to go back

Excellent hotel. Great location yards from beach and marina with 10 - 15 min walk to the center of Sitges. Service was impeccable and the artwork adds a great dimension to the stay.

This hotel was very ni e. Great design, great location and the staff was very helpful. The rooms are super modern and very comfortable and the breakfast was really good. I will comeback!!

We enjoyed our stay, very easy to get help, extra towels etc. Breakfast plentiful with a wide range of foods. Children enjoyed the pool, small, but as hotel is small it wasn't too busy and they often had it to themselves. Underground parking available so always had a parking space. Near town centre so easy to walk in. Right on the beach which was very clean and the water was beautiful.
