We returned from Pineda de Mar on August 1st. The holiday was wonderful! Loved the Promenade Hotel! Now in order: The hotel is very conveniently located, the sea is nearby, the station is nearby (but aside), around the corner is a pedestrian street - a la our Arbat, with shops and cafes. The place is calm, not noisy and not crowded. We rested with two children, a son of 4 years and a daughter of 6.5 years. We lived in a standard room (rectangular), the room is narrow, but quite normal in length (there was plenty of space between the beds). The view from the room was on the sea and the railway. With the balcony door closed, the trains did not interfere with sleep at all. The soundproofing in the rooms is good (there was no feeling that the walls were made of cardboard). Cleaned up normally, although children's pajamas were not folded (as in Turkey), but they were thrown like a lump under the pillow or on the bedside table. But we are not proud people, we tried not to pay attention to these little things. There was always enough shower gel, shampoo, soap and tissues in the bathroom. The bathroom had a hair dryer. Meals were taken half board. If desired, you can change dinner for lunch. The food was good there, we really liked it, for lunch and dinner there were up to 12 kinds of fruit. Breakfast is the same as everywhere else. But for lunch and dinner, you can always find something to your taste. Since we took half board, we thought to dine somewhere else. . . but in the end they returned and ate with pleasure at the hotel restaurant and paid for lunch on the spot (no problem - they warned at the entrance that we only had breakfast and dinner paid for - they were ready to pay for lunch). The tables in the restaurant are arranged so that 2 people, 3.4, 5.6 and a company of 8 people can sit there separately (although, if desired, 10 people can sit at this huge round table). Baby chairs are always available. The restaurant itself is not big, and there was often a queue at the entrance. When you enter a restaurant, the waiter puts a stamp in the box of the issued card (we had 2 rows of cells (breakfast and dinner) and the columns were the dates of our stay, as we were late for dinner, went to the reception and showed our card (there on that day it was not noted that we ate dinner) and we were allowed to dine another day. When the waiter puts a stamp, after that he is interested in how many people we are (company or just our family) and escorts us to a table designed for the corresponding number of people. On the beach, the sand is in the form of small pebbles (not grains of sand), it is easy to shake off dry feet at the exit from the beach, although our underground passage under the railway had a tap to wash sand off our feet. The sand pleasantly massaged the feet when walking. Entrance to the sea: 3-4 meters a flat area, then the depth begins, a few steps and you go under water. Our children frolicked in the sea from the first day of arrival and did not experience any inconvenience. The water was normal, not very warm, but not cold either, when we arrived they told us that the water temperature was 23 degrees, after a couple of weeks it probably warmed up to 26 degrees, but then the tide began and at the edge of the coast the water was a little cooler than 10 meters from the shore. On the beach a little to the right (opposite the Pineda Palace hotel) we liked swimming more than right in front of our hotel. There, 50 meters from the shore, a floating platform with a ladder was fixed in the sea, the children and I swam there many times, the children put on circles and calmly swam, accompanied by an adult, to this platform. There they climbed on it, basked in the sun, swung on the waves, and while there were few people (early in the morning) they looked at the fish that sometimes swam past. Adult animation is invited, every evening is different, it can be repeated once a week, it may not be repeated. Some guest artists really liked, some were dreary to look at. About children's animation in the hotel: our friends really liked how their five-year-old daughter was engaged at the pool at the tables: they drew and sculpted from clay and wove something with beads. Children's disco in the evenings. The hotel has a children's playground, but it is small. . . a couple of times our kids climbed there. But in general, we spent more time outside the hotel. Sea, excursions, trips, entertainment, walks. . . Of the minuses: the hotel does not have free access to the Internet, and my husband needed it in the early days, he had to get out through the beeline to the Internet. We went through the tour operator TezTur, There are no complaints about them. Well, that's it, that's all. Have a nice holiday.
