Солнце, креветки, море! Sun, shrimp, sea!

Gran Palace The only 5* hotel on this coast of Spain. 5 * he is in deed, not in words. There are some shortcomings, but they are really small, although our grumbling compatriots can pick up a disaster anywhere. So, in order. The hotel is located five minutes from the city beach. Since the beaches are urban, sunbeds with umbrellas are paid, respectively, but this is quite common in Europe. The cost is 5 euros for one set. Unlike the steep coasts of the Costa Brava, the Costa Doroda has a gently sloping entrance to the water almost everywhere. The sea is gorgeous. Very clean and well-groomed coast, golden sand and blue, like tinted water. If you are planning to go to La Pineda, then be sure to take the children. The climate here is very mild, there is an amusement park not far away, fresh seafood in local restaurants, wonderful beaches, every member of the family will find their pleasure here. Plus, the hotel itself is quite comfortable for staying with the family. Upon arrival at the Grand Palace, we were settled earlier than we had planned. The presence of Russian-speaking staff throughout the hotel greatly simplified our vacation. . Our room was two-story, spacious, with a huge terrace and a beautiful view of the sea. In the evenings on the terrace, in the fresh air, saturated with pine aroma, it was very pleasant to sit with a glass of local wine or a cup of good coffee. There is a kettle in the room with all accessories. All plumbing in our room was new, apparently recently changed. Large plasma, minibar, silent air conditioning, free safe. There are bathrooms on both floors. Additional comfort, those who have two children will certainly understand us. Plus, the toilet is fenced off and there are doors. Shower linen and towels were changed every day. Everything, even the ones we didn't use. Since everything in the area is planted with pine trees, the hotel staff often poisoned ants and other living creatures, but this did not cause discomfort. The food is good. For breakfast there was champagne and caviar, though artificial, but not bad. The breakfasts were not very varied, they did not serve lobsters, but they did not leave hungry either. Our family is not a fan of fatty and fried food in the morning, but freshly squeezed juices, fruits and cereals, we are quite satisfied. But for lovers of food, there has always been an assortment of omelettes, pastries, cuts and the like. Lunches and dinners have always pleased with fresh seafood, fish and of course meat. Cooked on the grill, and with sauces, and various roasts. They also did not deprive them of cheeses and vegetables). Be sure to walk along the promenade and visit local cafes and restaurants. Delicious shrimp and squid are provided for you. In Salou there is a huge amusement park "PortAventura". The children were delighted. You can also get there by bus, which we successfully did. And rested in silence, and walked, and had fun. We will try to come back next year.
