3.6 Pep Travelled with couple September 2025 To start with, it is the first time I find a hotel in Catalonia and Spain that does not serve alcoholic drinks anywhere in the establishment...... the hotel's maintenance is at a minimum... in the dining room there is no iron and make do with what is there... very very minimal variation... in the morning they call something rubbery a croissant... the pool is dirty, the handles are diverse and many are broken... in short, I'm missing the ideal adjective (it hasn't come to me yet) to rate it.... one night and never again..... terrible... and I try to adapt but for that price... I've been to others that are way better..... and because I'm looking for a deal, of course...... a hotel that was supposed to be very good in its beginnings, nowadays not even one star (the day I understand how they classify them by stars...)...
Por empezar es la primera vez que me encuentro un hotel en Cataluña y España que no sirven en ninguna parte del establecimiento bebidas alcohólicas......la manutención del hotel está bajo mínimos...en el comedor no hay plancha y agarrate a lo que hay..variación muy muy mínima...por la mañana le llaman cruasán a algo de goma...la picina sucia.las ama as de diversidad y muchas rotas...en fin me falta el acjevito ideal (aún no ha salido) para calificarlo....una noche y nunca más.....fatal...y eso que miro de adaptarme pero por ese precio...he estado en otros que le dan mil vueltas.....y por busco un chollo, claro......un hotel que tenía que ser muy bueno en sus inicios hoy por hoy ni una estrella (,el día que sepa como los clasifican por estrellas...)......

8 Yolanda Travelled with couple September 2025 We liked the location, even though it's not right on the front line, it's in a very good spot. The meals are fine, there was not much variety but what was there was good. The outdoor pools are fine, it's a shame we couldn't enjoy them because the weather wasn't great, but we had the indoor pool and honestly, it was nice.
Nos ha gustado la ubicación que aún no estar en primera linea está en muy buen sitio , las comidas están bien tenía poca variedad pero lo que había estaba bueno las piscinas esterio es esta bien la pena que no hemos podido aprovechar ya que el tiempo no acompañaba pero teníamos la interior y la verdad que se estaba bien.
Reforms should be made to the hotel, both exterior and interior.
Se tendría que hacer unas reformas al hotel tanto Esterio como interior .

5.6 Ryz Travelled with family September 2025 The pool, and that the food is pork-free because I always carry my EpiPen everywhere due to my pork allergy.
La piscina , y que la comida sea sin cerdo porque siempre estoy con la pluma a todos lados por mi alergia al cerdo
Unpleasant workers shouting and making heavy jokes (they won't be 25 years old) dirty rooms

8.9 Juanra Travelled with couple September 2025 I have felt very comfortable and satisfied with my stay at the Hotel Esplendid. The hotel staff has been very attentive and friendly, which made me feel at home. The buffet was good, with a variety of options and a quality that perfectly matched the price. The outdoor pool is beautiful, with plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas to enjoy the sun and relax. In addition, the hotel has an indoor pool for those days when the weather is not favorable. With a variety of facilities, such as a tennis court, football, gym, and disco, there is something for everyone. The room, although a bit old, was very clean and well-maintained, which was essential for my comfort during the stay. Overall, I am very happy with my experience at the Hotel Esplendid and would definitely recommend it.
Me he sentido muy a gusto y satisfecha con mi estancia en el Hotel Esplendid. El personal del hotel ha sido muy atento y amable, lo que ha hecho que me sintiera como en casa. El buffet ha estado bien, con variedad de opciones y una calidad que se ajusta perfectamente al precio. La piscina al aire libre es preciosa, con muchas tumbonas, sombrillas para disfrutar del sol y relajarse. Además, el hotel cuenta con una piscina interior para aquellos días en los que el clima no acompaña. Con variedad de instalaciones, como pista de tenis, fútbol, gimnasio y discoteca, lo que hace que haya algo para todos los gustos. La habitación, aunque un poco antigua, estaba muy limpia y bien cuidada, lo que ha sido fundamental para mi comodidad durante la estancia. En general, estoy muy contenta con mi experiencia en el Hotel Esplendid y lo recomendaría sin duda."

6.6 Monica Travelled with family August 2025 The pool area and the proximity to the beach are the best, although it is not right on the seafront, it is relatively close. It has a gym and an indoor pool, which, although it is cold water, allows you to bathe more peacefully because there is never anyone there. There are always free sun loungers by the outdoor pool.
La zona de piscina y la proximidad a la playa es lo mejor, aunque no está en primera línea de mar, está relativame te cerca. Tiene gimnasio y piscina interior, que aunque es de agua fría, permite bañarte más tranquilo porque nunca hay nadie. En la piscina exterior hay tumbonas libres siempre.
It is a hotel that has become outdated, although it should have been very good at some point. The whole place is quite old and neglected, although clean. The buffet doesn't have a lot of food variety but it's good. When it comes to desserts, once they run out, they are not replenished so you have to take whatever you want and keep it on the table. It is a very simple and basic hotel in every way.
Es un hotel que ha quedado desfasado, aunque en su momento debería ser muy bueno. Todo el recinto está bastante antiguo y bastante dejado, aunque limpio. El bufet no tiene mucha variedad de comida pero está buena. La parte de los postres, cuando se acaban no los reponen por lo que hay que coger lo que quieras y guardarlo en la mesa. Es un hotel muy muy sencillo y justito en todo.
