для активного отдыха - лучше не придумаешь for outdoor activities - you can't imagine better

Rested at the Astoria Park Hotel in June 2008. A very cozy hotel, considering that people came there only to sleep, take a shower and change clothes. I don’t understand people who go to Europe (in particular, to Spain, but at the same time they sit in a hotel for days - THIS IS NOT TURKEY AND NOT EGYPT !!!! ). Rooftop pool, but why is it needed at all if the sea is 3 minutes walk along the main street? the room was cleaned every day, towels changed every day, bed linen - twice a week, but if you ask, they can do it more often. the staff is friendly, if in the morning you still have time to catch the maid before going to the beach - you will be kindly told "Ola" (hello, that is) and for a long time something else in Spanish - it's not clear, but it feels like something positive !! ! a big plus of the hotel - located in the city center - 3 minutes to the beach and to the bus station, from which you can go to other cities (very profitable in the mornings, when you left for the whole day in Barcelona, ​ ​ you could sleep longer, have time to walk to the station and catch the bus), also close to all the best clubs and discos - again at night, when it's unbearable and sleep hunting - not far to go. Nearby there is a "collection point" for all excursions - the hotel "Elios" (or "Helios"). In general, I highly recommend it to those who are not used to staying in a hotel, but prefer active recreation, as well as the sea to the pool. As for food, I can say that in Spain it’s better to try national dishes in small cafes (one paella is worth it !!! , and if on a hot day, yes, a jug of Sangria with ice and fruits !!! ) and crackle seafood, rather than stupidly eat "everything included" in the hotel
