A good hotel problems with towels left on sunbeds
The hotel was Great and The food okay with a good choice.But sometimesha ing to qué because part of dinning area closed off for a group.like al hotels in Spain they need a attended to allocate sunbeds on first come first served basis as many people put towels on beds around the pool.Then only spend 2 hours laterin the day.So sun beds empty mist of the day taken by selfish people .If all hotels had the life guard allocate beds and no towels allowed to save beds.It would solve this problem in all hotels so why don't they all do it. The rest of the hotel was great but no entertainment at night in this hotel

Great hotel, with perfect location
Just back from a great week’s holiday. Pool area was just right for our family, two great pools, sun beds all around, poolside bar and pool tables to keep kids entertained. All was lovely and clean. We went full board and there was a great selection of food for all meals. One downside was that there were no drinks offered at lunch and dinner so had to buy bottles of water / other drinks at the bar. There were plenty of water / juices / hot drinks on offer with breakfast though. Rooms were cleaned daily and were fine for what we needed as a base. Staff were all very helpful and easily booked us a taxi at reception on the morning of our flight which arrived within minutes to take us to the airport. The location of the hotel was perfect - one of the closest to Portaventura so an easy 10 minute or so walk there and then about a 10 minute walk in the other direction to the beach, restaurants and nightlife. Had a great stay and would definitely return again

Half board was really good, food was very nice , my only problem was we had to pay €5 per day for a tiny fridge in our room, which was already there but locked till you pay, also the hotel gym was €5 for half a day and didn’t do a weekly pass , which most people go on holiday for , only did a monthly pass.. Also the air con system was directly over the head of the bed, crazy location to put it, when on at night it was so cold coming right down on top of you and we ended up with sore throats from it . Apart from them things it was ok, pool area really good, no queuing in morning for beds like other hotels around.

Staff were helpful. Rooms cleaned everyday. Room was a bit small but not a huge issue. The lifts are very small and take some time to come to you. Swimming pool is gorgeous. Only thing that was bad was the breakfast, only ate there once and didn't enjoy. Overall, a nice hotel and would go back.

A lovely hotel close to all amenities. It was a pity there were no coffee making facilities in the room. It would also be good if there was a non slip surface in the bath and maybe a grab rail.

Quick Weekend Getaway
The hotel staff was extremely rude in the restaurant. However, the price of the hotel was cheap, the breakfast buffet was included and it was next to everything so I can't really complain about the rest. Anyhow, I probably wouldn't eat at the buffet again given how I was treated but everything else was fine.

I have never stayed in a hotel that doesnt provide an iron and ironing board on request or in the roon until i stayed here. Was told we would have to go across the street to laundromat, pretty ridiculous to be honest, walls were paper thin, could hesr everything in the corridor & rooms next to us, going to the toilet etc,lighting in the room cosisted of 2 wall lamps, which was less than ideal,room was clean ,location was good but definitely would not stay here again.

The property is in a good location, 10 minutes walk to the beach and 15 minutes to Portaventura. Communal areas are clean however first day we found hairs on our bedding, there’s an awful smell coming from the bathroom everyday and lots of tiny ants crawling on the table. I complained to reception, the bedding was changed the next day however not once was the bathroom or other parts of the room were cleaned such as the table. Every night I was kept awake by the loud partying coming from the nightclub next door (it ends at 6am).

Hotel room was decently sized, with a good air-con that kept the room cool. There wasn't much street noise I noticed (my room was on the front, with the main road), but you could hear the other rooms if they were being loud, I only heard one the once during my stay and that was during the day so it didn't disturb me. The room had a balcony, but it did have a slight design flaw where if you closed the balcony door while out on it you would be locked on the balcony. For the time I was in the room, it was a pleasant stay, and the hotels location was very good for getting to Port Adventura and the beach easily.

AFTER BOOKING A WEEK IN THIS HOTEL IT COST A LOT MORE THAN EXPECTED AS THE FOOD WAS UNEATABLE AND ATE OUT. NO PARASOLS AT THE POOL AND TEMP WAS 32 DEGREES. NO CURTESY ROOM WHEN YOU HAVE A LATE FLIGHHT ALTHOUGH YOU COULD PAY FOR A LATER CHECK OUT OR USE THE SHOWERS IN THE GYM WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE PAID FOR.

Confusing room advertisement
I booked this hotel only for shown availability of the double bed rather than booking even cheaper 4 star hotel with nicer location and rooms. But when I arrived i was told that there are only 10 double beds available in the whole hotel and they are all taken. As well very loud location as it is beside one of the main roads + electricity controlled by card and buzzing sound is hear very well at night. As well Stink in the toilet bidet was very bad. It was probably not used for a long time and badly done ventilation added to it.

Nice Hotel
I booked last minute to visit family who were already staying there, the hotel on appearance is nice enough, nothing grand but easy on the eye, the reception staff helped me get a room close to my family and towards the end of my stay helped arrange a cheaper transfer to the airport for me (again with my family) so found them to be really nice and helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the beach, plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, I didnt try the food at the hotel unfortunately so not sure what its like. The only thing I missed badly was a fridge in my room, no self catering facilities for room only which helps to keep some water cold etc but I was only there for 5 nights so wasn't a huge impact. Nice hotel though, I would stay again.

Very poor cooking
Very poor level of cooking, no surprise, always the same. We have got the same salads, the same main courses and the same sweets during the whole week. It was impossible to get water from the tap and ice as well. We had to pay 1.90€ for a small bottle of water. With regards to the bedroom, we were very satisfied but it would be nice to get additional pillows and larger bed sheets. Last but not least, is it really necessary to have to suffer with waterproof sheeting. It would be very nice to have a temperature control of the air conditionning system.

You get what you pay - OK 3* Hotel
Hotel situated less than 10min walking to the beach. Nearby all amenities and touristic shops. Rooms were very clean and freshly designed for a 3* hotel. We were very disappointed with the staff at reception. Not pleasant, not welcoming, give you the feeling that you bother them. Food was not great, but you get what you pay. Very basic 3* buffet, we ended up eating outside for our meals. They mainly have twin beds (only a few doubles), we had to sleep in separate beds, we as a couple is not the best to spend your nights...I asked for a double bed, but they couldn't accommodate our query, not very helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to have a room close to the beach, safe & clean.

Déception sur la restauration
Je réserve dans cet hôtel tous les ans pour le rallye WRC. L'emplacement est idéal pour le rallye. Le stationnement autour de l'hôtel n'est pas facile (surtout le samedi). J'ai constaté au fil des ans une nette baisse de la qualité de la restauration. le café du matin est imbuvable. Dommage qu'on sente à ce point les économies!!!!
