Para ser un hotel 3 * me ha sorprendido para bien las zonas comunes como las piscinas, el bar y la entrada que da muy buena sensación
The dining room was horrible, too small for the amount of people staying at the hotel and also the food was scarce and lacked variety, I didn't see any vegetables any day. The cleanliness of the rooms could be improved (one day our room wasn't cleaned) The mattresses couldn't be more uncomfortable, we woke up with pain all over our bodies and we didn't use the wardrobe because of the strong smell of old wood. There is no fridge in the rooms (there is one available for a fee, I find this to be an excessive service) this is essential in summer to have cold water. We will not repeat.
El comedor horrible, pequeño para la cantidad de gente alojada en el hotel y ademas la comida escasa y poca variedad, no vi verdura en ningún día. La limpieza de las habitaciones mejorable ( un día no nos ha limpiado la habitación) Los colchones no podrían estar mas incómodos, nos despertamos con dolor de todo el cuerpo y el armario no lo hemos usado por el olor tan fuerte de madera vieja. Nevera, no hay en las habitaciones ( la hay de pago, me parece un servicio exagerado) esto es básico en verano para tener agua fria No repetiremos.

Buena ubicación, cerca de la playa, de la zona comercial y de Port Aventura
We have had the feeling of a lack of staff, especially in the restaurant, which led to employees having bad attitudes and worse manners. Also, they took a long time to replenish the food and when it came to ice cream, it was truly difficult to get a strawberry one (they ran out quickly) and only the mojito ones were left. The entertainment was non-existent. I believe with a couple of details, it would be a great hotel.
Hemos tenido la sensación de falta de personal sobre todo en el comedor, lo que conllevaba a que los empleados tuvieran malas caras y peores modos. Asimismo, tardaban en reponer la comida y, en cuestión de helados era verdaderamente difícil coger uno de fresa (se terminaban enseguida) solo quedaban los de mojito
La animación inexistente.
Creo que con un par de detalles, sería un hotel estupendo.

La ubicación no está mal, el hotel está reformado en las zonas comunes.
It would be nice if the rooms were renovated like what appears in the hotel pictures. Ours was small, old, and quite deteriorated, at first glance you could see a mattress with a very marked shape... all the bedspreads were full of old stains... we asked to change assuming an economic increase, and they didn't have availability... they changed us to another one that was the same but at least didn't have such bad mattresses. Also, the rooms are very small. The cleaning is very quick... they didn't mop the floor any day during the 5 nights we stayed. I guess that's what they can manage.
Estaría bien que las habitaciones estuvieran reformadas como lo que aparece en las imágenes del hotel. La nuestra era pequeña, antigua y bastante deteriorada, a simple vista ya se veía un colchón con una forma muy marcada...las colchas todas repletas de encanchones antiguas...pedimos cambiar asumiendo el incremento económico y no tenían disponibilidad...nos cambiaron a otra igual pero que al menos no tenía los colchones tan mal. Además son habitaciones muy pequeñas.
La limpieza es muy rápida...no se pasó la mopa ningún día en las 5 noches q estuvimos. Imagino q es a lo q llegan.
