I advise this hotel for families with children, firstly, there is something to feed the child, except for french fries, and secondly, there is a heated indoor pool, a playground, and nearby children's attractions.
The sea is nearby, it takes about 3 minutes to walk. The beach is clean, good, there were few people in June, except for the holiday (analogue of Ivan Kupala), apparently, it was a day off and there were a lot of locals on the beach.
From the hotel there is an open train without rails, the course of which lies to the city center and to the Blanes botanical garden (worth a visit).
Near the hotel in 2-5 minutes walk there are several shops where you can buy groceries, household chemicals, products for children, etc.

A bunch of shops that are exposed on the street, you can bargain in them (we bought a suitcase not for 30 euros, but for 22). Every Tuesday in Blanes, in the city center - a fair, they sell anything, you can buy 3 pairs of men's shorts for 8 euros, or sandals from 8 to 20 euros. A bunch of souvenirs from 1.5 euros and more (souvenirs at the fair are cheaper than in Barcelona). A bunch of cafes and restaurants, about the same price and quality. Opposite the hotel there is a nice cafe, delicious paella, spaghetti (mmmm), and mussels with some awesome sauce. The portions are very large. One dish is enough for two girls.
The sea is clean, the beach is clean, it is cleaned every morning and the sand is rolled out. There is a shower, rental of catamarans. Toilets are on other beaches, or rather, just above the beach, free, clean. There is no toilet near the beach from Blausel.
The hotel is worth noting the Russian-speaking staff at the reception. We got a small room, there is a TV with 2 Russian channels, a refrigerator, a safe, but you have to pay for it, a double bed and a single bed, a table, chairs. On the balcony - plastic chairs and a table. Shampoo and soap were given when they ran out, towels were changed daily. The bed was replaced when it got dirty. We left tips, but no one took them.
Restaurant - one for two hotels. The food is good, varied, a lot of seafood, different meats, sometimes in the morning there was champagne, in the evening - mulled wine. The wines are good but expensive.
there were two Russian-speaking waiters in the restaurant (a Bulgarian and a Pole), and one Moroccan who was learning Russian.
If you leave early for an excursion, you must notify the reception in advance so that you are given a dry ration (juice, water, sandwiches, fruits, yogurt, cookies).
