Arrived at the hotel at night. The reception speaks only English, but very slowly and articulately, so with the basic language you can understand everything. No one even helped carry a heavy suitcase to the floor, this is not accepted in this hotel. Settled in a room above the restaurant on the 3rd floor. The room is very small, but neat, with good plumbing. Everything you need is there, but no frills (no hair dryer, soap, shampoo). The windows overlooked the street, the view is beautiful. At night, in order not to hear the sounds of the street, we had to close the balcony, which, without air conditioning, was, to put it mildly, not very good. I never stood in line in the dining room, as the very first came in the morning, and for dinner at the time indicated on the food card. I warn you right away (I realized it myself late) you can change dinner for lunch if the excursions are evening (for example, to the fountains of Barcelona), it’s better not to take dry rations, such a muck. The food is a clean trio, without variety, but there was enough to eat, it’s good at least there were fruits. There is nothing to do with children in this hotel, you will not find from the entire menu how to feed a child. Dressed to buy in stores, but the quality and prices wish to be the best. Safe 5 days - 20 euros, 1 day - 4 euros. Pool deposit - 10 euros. Any other service, just prepare the money (asked to transfer photos from the camera's memory card to a USB flash drive - 5 euros).
To the sea, indeed, 5 minutes, but once again you don’t go back and forth, across the roads, up the stairs... The beach, like in our south - everything is on top of each other. The sea is immediately deep, so with children and those who do not swim very well, this is not the best place, besides, constant waves in the evening the wind intensifies. Parents with children were all worried about their children, you need to be on the alert. The sea temperature on June 13-17 was no more than 18 degrees (icy), after 17 it became warmer up to about 23, at least you can already get into the water.
In the evening you can walk along the main street, a lot of interesting things, take a ride on a train (4 euros), a beautiful view of Santa Susanna from above. Lots of different shops. Market twice a week. They block the street - merchants come, you can buy everything very cheaply, everyone bought bags from us for 5 euros, they are piled on the shelves in a bunch, you have to dig and choose a good one, took it as gifts, everyone liked it.

The most important thing is that from Santa Susanna you can quickly get to Barcelona. Been there three times. By train 1 hour 20 minutes. While driving, you admire the beautiful view of the sea (on the left side) or views of the small towns of Spain (on the right). On the train, the hospital sign to Barcelona, ​ ​ if you look at the sea goes to the right, do not forget to press the button to open the doors, the same system is in the metro. Back from Barcelona sign Macanet or Blanes. (17.48, 18.02, 18.17, 19.05 - this is what I have written down) schedule at the station. In Santa Susanna, do not forget to stamp your ticket, from the ticket office on the right. I was delighted with Barcelona, ​ ​ next time I will definitely stay there, because it can be viewed all the time of the trip. We took the metro to Park Guell, I really liked going up the escalator uphill, the beauty of the top view of Barcelona, ​ ​ nature and gingerbread houses. We saw the Sagrada Familia, not particularly impressed. Walked in the streets adjacent to Plaza Catalunya. We went to Bas Turistik (by the way, all the discounts to different places and parks in Barcelona remained - I can give it back).
I took excursions to Mount Montserrat (42.50) - I liked it very much, I advise you, the fountains of Barcelona + free time (28 euros) and La Siesta without dinner with drinks (34 euros) are so-so, you don’t have to go, you won’t lose much. I can send all the prices of excursions Natalie Tour.
In general, the trip left the most good impressions. I managed to travel around the country and swim and sunbathe, although this is still not a beach holiday. Going to Spain just to sunbathe and swim is stupid. In the hotel, if only to spend the night, it is normal.
