Most of all in this hotel I liked its employees - friendly people who will always help you if they understand. Yes, and they will also understand you almost always, the main thing is to know a few words in English. I was told that English is not popular in Spain, so I always used local greetings (which I managed to remember) to start with. If you say "Ola! " or "Buenos dias! " and smile, they will gladly help you and smile back. However, almost everyone with whom I communicated knew English to a sufficient extent. Also, one of the girls at the reception, Agata, who worked in the evenings, speaks excellent Russian.
The rooms are modest and clean, I really got a view of the wall of the neighboring hotel, but this was completely unimportant to me. They said that the hotel had poor soundproofing, and this is generally true, although I did not suffer from this - my neighbors were either absent or silent. The noise of some units from the street was a bit disturbing, but it was easy to avoid by closing the window (in September it is already quite cool at night, so I did not even close it because of the noise). There is a bath with a shower, which after a day of wandering somewhere is very good.
The bed is made properly, but if you drag sand into the room, it may not be swept. Swans are not knitted - not from anything, but they left me a touching note: "Gracias! " (thanks for the tip).
The restaurant is good, the food is delicious, take a couple of apples for lunch and dinner - they replace drinks well. For breakfast it is better to arrive at 8.00, for dinner after 20.00 - at other times there are too many people. "Not free, not free! " one old lady told me with a smile. Near the hotel there are already two travel agencies - from Taz Tour and Natalie Tours, if one is closed, you can ask in the other - they can tell you a lot of useful things, how to get there, for example.
Not much entertainment. There is billiards and... something else, I did not look closely. Tiny pool.
The municipal beach is five minutes walk. I liked it much more than the private beach of the Holiday Taba 4 * hotel in Egypt. There are no Bedouins, it's clean, no rubbish floats in the water. Yes, and the Mediterranean Sea was better for me than the Red - no corals, no hedgehogs, and shoes are not needed (although they are sold in abundance here).
It takes about 10 minutes to go to the station. In general, they didn’t deceive me that here it’s 3 *, then in Egypt it’s 4 *.
But if you want a passive beach holiday, then this hotel, Malgrat de Mar, and Catalonia in general, is probably not for you.

Recently arrived from Spain. I decided to give myself a birthday present this year. Vacationing with my sister. Flight to Barcelona, check-in at the hotel - excellent, without delays and delays. And then I will try to objectively, without emotions. Maybe someone will benefit from my review. They settled us, as we immediately thought, wonderful.

Recently arrived from Spain. I decided to give myself a birthday present this year. Vacationing with my sister. Flight to Barcelona, check-in at the hotel - excellent, without delays and delays. And then I will try to objectively, without emotions. Maybe someone will benefit from my review. They settled us, as we immediately thought, wonderful. On the third floor, overlooking the sea. The room, however, is small, but it will pull on 3 stars. In addition, it is closed from direct sunlight on all sides. All this pleased us at first. The TV in the room, although ancient, without a remote control and a Russian channel, on which there is nothing to watch, not a single music. channel, only Spanish programs, which were absolutely uninteresting to us, without knowledge of the language. By the way, in the neighboring hotel, Sorra Maripins, if I'm not mistaken, there was both a remote control and Russian-language channels at once. Then I was surprised by the lack of glasses in the room. As for the water, we knew that only at breakfast, and then everything is paid, but you also need to drink your own water from something. When asked where to get a glass, we were shrugged and advised to buy disposable ones. By the way, they are sold in large packages. So, dear tourists. keep that in mind. The same goes for the shampoo and hair dryer in the room. I must say that the service in this hotel is very unobtrusive. Until you ask about some service, no one will offer you anything. Therefore, for any little thing, do not hesitate to ask. Although sometimes you don’t know what you have the right to and what you are silent about. This applies in our case to the TV remote control (although they were not tuned to Russian programs, they are not in this hotel), Hairdryer also turns out to be taken to the reception on bail. By the way, a very nice girl works there, who speaks Russian, to my shame, I forgot her name. The same applies to the rest room on the day of departure. Check-out at 10 o'clock. And we have a plane at 23, departure from the hotel at 20. And this room came in handy. There you can wash yourself, put yourself in order, etc. That day we went to the water park for the whole day. Let's continue about the settlement and the room. If you are a sea view lover, then in this hotel get ready for the fact that you will not be allowed to sleep at night, especially on weekends. We were especially "lucky" - for the period of our vacation there are also endless holidays. In addition, the Spaniards are so noisy! It's good that it was still not hot and you could sleep with the windows tightly closed. And further. We liked that the hotel has a large territory, but all this declared territory is an empty parking lot, very, by the way, unkempt. But about the sad and all. Passing trains do not interfere. In general, Spain is a fairy tale! Barcelona is a miracle! It is impossible to describe, this thankless task, you must see. We went 2 times, but did not like the train, for a long time, an hour and a half one way. Prices in Barcelona are crazy, and in resort towns, in particular the Costa del Marisme, they are very, very democratic. They drank wine every day. Miscellaneous. But I want to note that even very cheap wine is very tasty. Although I prefer sweeter ones, I really liked these Spanish wines. Industrial goods are also cheap. The sea is deep right away, which is probably not very convenient with children. But we girls swim well and far and we liked it. The hotel has fun every day for both children and pensioners. By the way, at the beginning of our vacation, the hotel was deeply retired. What good fellows these pensioners. These, of course, are not our grandparents, they have a second youth in retirement, although they are 100 years old. There was an amazing Spanish dance ballet. Then we specially went to the concert, but our visitor to the hotel was better. And that's not exactly a delusional opinion. Breakfasts are excellent. They even gave us champagne a few times. Although there were few fruits, mostly apples, sometimes pears, very rarely oranges. I will be glad if my review is useful to someone.
