This hotel was chosen due to many factors. In general, this is a good hotel above average and for a very reasonable price in season. And if you take it temporarily for the good, then of course you can look for something else, but if it’s urgent, then the option is excellent. In general, I can safely call the price quality.

This hotel was chosen due to many factors. In general, this is a good hotel above average and for a very reasonable price in season. And if you take it temporarily for the good, then of course you can look for something else, but if it’s urgent, then the option is excellent. In general, I can safely call the price quality. There is no claim number. The only bad thing is no cleaning. The most interesting thing is that changing towels, linen is not a problem, and cleaning will just wave a broom and that's it, even a tip won't help. And not to say that the room is dirty, just as it was expected that wet cleaning would be more frequent.
Everything else is fine. The room is quite fresh, with good bedding and beds. The hotel itself is clean, lots of pictures on the walls. The area is clean and well maintained. Of course, it is small in size, but in principle it is enough if you do not intend to spend the whole day by the pool. The beach is close to walk across the road and camping. It's not long five minutes. Beach towels from the hotel which are given against a deposit in good condition. In general, in terms of location, everything is convenient. There is where to walk, close to the train if you want to save on travel. Where to buy is also nearby is not a problem.
The hotel also has its own set of entertainment for both children and adults, so you won’t get bored at all, but those who like the hotel to be just for a very quiet holiday will not be 100% comfortable here. The hotel is so to speak universal in this planets. This is exactly what we wanted, and for this many thanks to our travel agent Dmitry Mir, look for him by his last name in social networks, we have been contacting him for several years in a row and he will not only always find what you need, but also give useful advice around the country where to save money and even in rest time can be contacted online and he himself is a very nice person.
Well, what else can be said about the hotel. The food is good, let's say standard for hotels of this class. There are sea products and a choice in the flesh to cereals. This is certainly not Turkey)) There is nothing to compare here, but on the whole it is normal. Urom is a good sparkling wine. In general, food is ok. Only the lack of waiters is a little celebrated. And so in general, the hotel on all counts, only five plus!

Rested a family of 3 for 10 days in the first half of July. Tour operator - Anex Tour. Unfortunately, Anex Tour showed its optionality and at the last moment rescheduled the departure from morning to evening. Given the time difference with Spain, we got to the hotel around 21:30. The hotel consists of two buildings connected by a hall and has seven floors, including one underground.

Rested a family of 3 for 10 days in the first half of July.
Tour operator - Anex Tour.
Unfortunately, Anex Tour showed its optionality and at the last moment rescheduled the departure from morning to evening.
Given the time difference with Spain, we got to the hotel around 21:30.
The hotel consists of two buildings connected by a hall and has seven floors, including one underground.
In the underground place there is a SPA area (including a gym, indoor pools, saunas, changing rooms and massage rooms), a children's playroom, a left-luggage office, a hall with stands of travel companies, a restaurant.
Visiting the SPA zone is paid: 7 euros per day for adults, 4 euros per day for children. When buying a subscription for several days, there is a system of discounts.
At the same time, if your plane leaves in the evening on the last day of your stay, and you need to check out in the morning, you can take a shower in the SPA area for free before leaving the hotel.
On the ground floor (it is considered zero) there is a hall, a reception desk, a bar, a slot machine room, a conference room, which is used for entertainment events in the evening and several rooms.
There is parking in front of the hotel. The cost is 5 euros per day.
If you stand facing the main entrance, then 200 meters from the hotel on the left side, next to the park, there is a wasteland where you can park your car for free, but no one guarantees safety in such a parking lot.
The hotel lobby is spacious, stylish, cool, filled with a pleasant aroma (apparently some special aerosols are being sprayed).
The settlement went quickly. A tourist tax must be paid immediately upon check-in. For our family, it amounted to 14 euros for 10 days.
At the reception there are two people who speak Russian, but they do not always work. The rest can be spoken in English.
We got a room on the first floor. The windows overlook the neighboring hotel, which is 15-20 meters away. There are pros and cons to this. On the one hand, if you do not close the curtains, strangers will constantly drop in on you, on the other hand, less sensitive extraneous sounds from animation and evening concerts.
The room has a small balcony with a plastic table, two plastic chairs and a clothes dryer.
Noise isolation from the balcony is good: when you close the door, the sounds from the street are minimally noticeable, even during evening concerts in Onabrava or a nearby hotel.
There is enough space in the room for a comfortable stay of three people.
The room has two double beds with comfortable mattresses and small pillows.
In the hallway there is a spacious closet with lots of hangers.
The safe is located in the same closet. Safe rental - 3 euros per day. Plus 10 euro deposit for the castle.
In addition, there is a table, two armchairs, one bedside table and a TV cabinet with a small refrigerator. The refrigerator worked silently.
Air conditioner in working order. The air conditioning system is centralized, but in the room you can independently regulate the temperature.
There are only three free outlets, including the one in the bathroom, so I recommend bringing a tee with you.
LCD TV with a diagonal of approximately 25 inches. Shows about 50 channels. Of the Russian speakers - ORT, RTR Planet, Russia 24 and TNT. The signal quality is good, the image is clear, convenient remote control.
Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. The speed of Internet access and signal stability, in my opinion, is the same as in the lobby, in the room, in the restaurant, near the pool, and allows you to watch movies online.
Bathroom combined. Medium size. Bath, large washbasin, toilet, bidet.
During the whole stay the bed was not changed even once!
Mosquitoes flew into the room, I advise you to take a fumigator with you.
The territory of the hotel is small. In addition to buildings, there was enough space for a pool, a couple of shops and cafes.
The pool is big. The depth varies from 80 centimeters to one and a half meters. The water is clean. Slightly chilly in the morning, but warms up well in the afternoon.
There is an additional pool for kids.
Lots of sun loungers. Nevertheless, by eight in the morning, that is, by the time of opening, a queue of people who want to take advantage of the best places is lining up. But you can not rush: you will always find a free place.
The sun loungers are not new, but comfortable enough.
A beach towel can be obtained from the reception free of charge, but with a deposit of 10 euros. Change towels there. The number of substitutions during the day is unlimited.
The towels are big and good quality.
A high level question.
And for breakfast, and for lunch, and for the evening there is a very large assortment of dishes, which differ, both depending on the time of the day and on the day of the week.
There are no special frills, but the dishes are delicious, cooked with soul.
For breakfast: salads, cuts, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, cereals, bacon, sausages, pastries, cheeses, fruits, pastes, honey, jams, several types of fresh juices, cold and hot drinks, sparkling wine, etc.
By the evening, several types of meat and meat dishes, fish, seafood, various side dishes, almost every day some themed Spanish dishes, salads, cuts, cheeses, sweets, pastries, fruits, ice cream and much more.
For lunch, the assortment is more modest, but varied enough not to leave hungry.
As I wrote, we arrived late and late for dinner. For such latecomers, the so-called late evening is provided, which starts at 23:00 and consists of meat, vegetable, cheese cuts, fruits and a bottle of still water.
Late evenings can be pre-booked at reception if you plan to return to the hotel after 21:00. If you plan to leave early, then the day before you can order an early breakfast for a while. The restaurant will open for you at the agreed time. The menu is the same as for the late evening, plus hot drinks.
In addition, if the voucher provides for meals "breakfast-dinner", you can change dinner for lunch an unlimited number of times.
There are only two drawbacks associated with food: firstly, paid, and quite expensive drinks during lunch and dinner (for example, a 0.5 liter bottle of still water costs 1.85 euros); secondly, the dishwashing quality is terrible - be very careful when choosing a clean plate, it may not be as clean as you expect!
From the entertainment on site: a room with slot machines (for both children and adults), table tennis (racquets can be borrowed at the reception for free), evening concerts by animators or guest performers.
There is a library, but there are no more than ten books in Russian.
Animation is standard from 11:00 to 17:00. Divided into three ages: children, teenagers, adults.
For adults: archery (on site), table tennis, darts, water polo, aqua aerobics.
Approximately the same set of activities for teenagers.
On Fridays, mini-football tournaments are held between several hotels on a large grass field, located a five-minute walk from the hotel.
The animation team is fun and active. Everyone speaks English, a couple of people understand Russian.
The grocery store on site has very high prices and a small assortment.
In stores located a five-minute walk towards the center of Santa Susanna, the choice of products is much larger, and prices are one and a half to two times lower.
In the souvenir shop located next to the grocery store, prices may seem high at first glance, but you can bargain there, and as a result, buy what you want at a very reasonable price.
In my opinion, according to most parameters, the hotel corresponds to the declared category. And when solving problems with cleaning and cleanliness of dishes, it will fully justify its four and a half stars. We are happy with our choice!
Now about the sea. To get to the beach, you need to cross the roadway, go down to the underpass, exit it, turn right, and then, fifty meters later, turn left. The road takes 5-7 minutes.
The beach has coarse sand.
Unfortunately, it is dirty, as there are campsites on the first line, where many vacationers live with pets, which are walked right there and are not always cleaned up after them. And in general, during the entire stay, I have never seen the beach cleaned.
There are no showers, changing cabins, toilets, sun loungers, umbrellas on the beach. To take advantage of these benefits of civilization, you need to walk along the beach for about 10 minutes to the right or left.
The advantage of the lack of service is that there are relatively few people on the beach: you can always find a place to sit at a comfortable distance from other vacationers.
Both on the beach and near the pool in the hotel it is allowed to smoke.
When entering the sea, the depth changes very sharply: at a distance of 5-7 meters from the water's edge, the depth is already one and a half meters or more.
The sea is clean, transparent, either calm or with small waves.
In the first half of July, the temperature is 22-24 degrees, then a gradual increase in temperature begins.
A few words about Santa Susanna herself and the surrounding area. It's more like a village.
The central street runs parallel along the railway through the entire settlement and passes into the central street of the next town - Malgrat de Mar. There is no clear boundary between these two settlements.
There are many souvenir grocery stores, cafes, restaurants on this street. In the evening there are tents with souvenirs.
In stores, the assortment is approximately the same, depending only on the size of the outlet. This applies to both products and souvenirs. Prices also differ slightly.
On Tuesdays from 9:00 to 13:00, a fair is closed and organized, where various goods and souvenirs are sold.
There is a small amusement park within a three-minute walk from the hotel.
It is better to buy products in supermarkets.
If you leave the main entrance of the hotel, turn right and go through the fields, you will get to Carrefour (its sign is visible from afar, the store is open until 22:00). If you return to the left and also go through the fields, you will get to Lidl (open until 21:30).
The brands presented in these stores are different, but the prices for similar products are about the same. In my opinion, the advantage of Carrefour is in the assortment (it is three times larger than Lidl in area), and in the fact that it is located in a shopping center, where there are many other stores besides it.
In the same room with the supermarket, opposite the central cash desks, there is a small outlet (pictured), where the nicest person, Irina, will answer all questions regarding your stay in Spain, cultural features, products, souvenirs, etc.
, offers excursions, car rental options, that is, it will help you to adapt to a new country more easily if you are in Spain for the first time.
If you want to go to Barcelona or the second city located on the coast on your own, it is most convenient to use the train. Trains run every 30 minutes.
The stop is a three minute walk from the hotel.
Tickets are easier to buy at the information kiosk (marked with a capital letter "I") opposite the bus stop. Here, in the machine at the entrance, you need to "compost" them before the trip.
The cost of a ticket to Barcelona and back is 9.80 euros. The road to the central square of Barcelona? a de Catalunya takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Stops are announced.
Bypassing Pla?
a de Catalunya around the perimeter, you will find an information kiosk where you can buy a detailed map of Barcelona for 1 euro, as well as issue special tourist cards that will save you money on public transport trips and entrance tickets to some museums.
In conclusion, a few words about excursions.
From my observations, different companies offer approximately the same content and cost of excursions.
When choosing, it is very important to pay attention to details. For example, during an excursion to Mount Montserrat for 40 euros, one company will simply take you to the monastery by bus, and the other to the foot of the mountain, from where you will take the train to the monastery along a road laid in the middle of a picturesque area.
By the way, in order to avoid queues, lose time and have time to look at the Madonna before the morning service, choose excursions with an early departure by 10:30, you can get to the Madonna, and there will be a lot of time to explore the entire complex. And yet, visually, the distance from the monastery to the Cross of St. Michael seems to be large, but in fact, my daughter and I climbed in 12 minutes at a quick pace.
When visiting Goel Park, it is better to buy tickets on the park's website on-line.
Firstly, it's a little cheaper, secondly, you will avoid long lines at the ticket office, and thirdly, if you arrive at the park in the afternoon, tickets for that day may already be over.

We, as budget tourists, choose hotels based on reviews, not very expensive, for the price, but we want to visit everywhere. About the hotel: Wi-Fi is free, food is I love you, I had a chance to try jamon and brie and blue mold cheeses, there were shrimp and red fish and oysters (I mean that there are few hotels in other countries, on the coast, do not provide fish products).

There are two girls in the hotel who speak Russian, but when they were not there. thanks to google translator. problems were solved, such as the child had a temperature, asked the restaurant to take food to the room for the child, take vinegar for compresses, and on the day of departure. asked to extend the room without additional payment, extended until 13.00, and In general, the hotel release of rooms at 10.00. Of the minuses, of course, for lunch and dinner, drinks for an additional fee.

There were not nice girls at the reception, they pretended not to understand me, they began to use the Google translator, they were rude to me, you have to pay for everything, for a safe 4 euros per day, and you need to pay a deposit, towels 10 euros deposit for each, pillows are not comfortable, no choice, had to ask for a blanket.

Wonderful hotel. Fully justifies its 4 *. The food is excellent, the staff is polite. Around the cleanliness is almost sterile. A little expensive compared to other hotels, but this is offset by the lack of noisy companies. NOBODY AND NOTHING prevents you from relaxing! The absence of a Russian-speaking porter is a little annoying, but there are hotel guides, they help out a lot.

The absence of a Russian-speaking porter is a little annoying, but there are hotel guides, they help out a lot. The location of the hotel is very convenient. Near the railway station - 4 times we went by train to Barcelona on our own. To the sea - 5 minutes, but if you need a well-maintained beach, you need to walk 300 meters. We sunbathed and swam on the "wild" beach - there are fewer people, and the sand and the sea are no worse.

Hotel Onabrava is wonderful. We are currently finishing our holiday here. It is conveniently located - next to the train station, next to a stop for excursions, in front of the hotel - a transition to the beach. The beach is not as crowded as further from Malgrad. The road to the beach passes through the campsite.

Hotel Onabrava is wonderful. We are currently finishing our holiday here. It is conveniently located - next to the train station, next to a stop for excursions, in front of the hotel - a transition to the beach. The beach is not as crowded as further from Malgrad. The road to the beach passes through the campsite. There is a good supermarket with very reasonable prices. To relax on the beach, buy an umbrella (from 8 to 12 euros). Then leave, for the money for the whole holiday is not a pity. Especially when compared with 15 euros daily, if on the beach near Malgrad you would take 2 sunbeds and an umbrella. The hotel has a large swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers. There is also a Spa. Paying 6 euros you get unlimited time in the indoor pool with jacuzzi, as well as in the Finnish and Turkish saunas. Helps a lot in the sun. I would especially like to note the FOOD in the hotel. Very tasty and varied. We were served all kinds of meat, a lot of seafood. Lots of delicacies, gourmet snacks. We constantly rest in very expensive hotels and have something to compare. I sincerely wonder where tourists found tasteless food. It's just that we often forget that all people are different and like different foods. I just came from lunch and if for someone the choice of meat and fish hot from 8-10 dishes, including turkey, chops, ribs, goulash, etc. is not enough, you can ask with a smile only one question - what do our tourists eat Houses?....There is a mention of a paid safe and a bar everywhere in the description, so this should not be a surprise. The only problem I found in the hotel was the poor working wi-fi. He took off constantly both in the room and in the lobby of the hotel. And so, a beautiful hotel, worthy and elegant. It’s just that everyone needs different things from rest, and therefore the impressions vary.

don't believe the negative reviews! Stayed there with family for 2 weeks. Great location. To the sea about 10 minutes, there really is an underground passage through the railway station. only no one specified that this is not a Moscow station with smelly trains; ) there is one electric train that passes in half an hour and everything is clean and there is no smell.

You have to walk to the beach like everyone else. Immediately opposite the exit from the hotel, go straight and into the transition, but not to the right, along the road! The only thing is that food is really tight. We took only breakfasts, breakfasts are wonderful, even fried bacon with freshly squeezed eye in the morning. Lunches in the restaurant are also good, but cost about 15 euros per nose. And in the nearby restaurants one fast food. Tried to find fresh seafood, only in Blanes or Bvrs. By the way, it’s 1 hour 40 to the barsa by train, just from the railway station. And, I forgot, there is a huge cheap hypermarket like Auchan nearby. You will not find products in the alphabet of taste in Moscow. And the prices are cheap. Good luck, good place, really! I would go again, but everyone will love different places; )

Rested with family. Son 17 and daughter 6. Everything is free in the hotel. Sun bed 1 euro. Take a towel for him, give a deposit of 10 euros. The safe is paid. Refrigerator in the room for a fee. Parking is paid 4 euro-days. Do not believe that the beach is nearby. You will cross the road and the beach, YES, but there is a smelly campsite and huge stones nearby.

If it's not difficult, then you need to walk 10-15 minutes and a good beach, but keep in mind that after 3 meters the depth is 2 meters. In general, the hotel is good and clean and the food is good. Nobody speaks Russian! I would choose Santa Sussan СAPRICI VERD closer to the beach. In July, a huge number of people. On the beach on top of each other. These are all negative, but there are many positives as well. From excursions I highly recommend la siesta. On flamenco. Until the end of the concert, the hall is in suspense.

We stayed at the hotel in August 2009. in two weeks. The town of Santa Susanna, where the hotel is located, is small, cozy and smoothly and continuously passes into another resort town of Malgrat de Mar, much larger in size. These towns are connected by one long and busy promenade in the evenings, on which there are a lot of hotels, restaurants, bars, resort-type shops (with towels, slippers, umbrellas, souvenirs, etc.

We stayed at the hotel in August 2009. in two weeks. The town of Santa Susanna, where the hotel is located, is small, cozy and smoothly and continuously passes into another resort town of Malgrat de Mar, much larger in size. These towns are connected by one long and busy promenade in the evenings, on which there are a lot of hotels, restaurants, bars, resort-type shops (with towels, slippers, umbrellas, souvenirs, etc. ) and several shops with elite leather accessories and ladies' gizmos like scarves, handkerchiefs... and also clothes. Significantly more shops in Malgrat de Mar. Moreover, there they are inexpensive with good quality goods. On Saturdays, the promenade is closed in Santa Susanna and an outdoor fair is held, where goods are sold at a cost of 2-3 euros. The sight is very sweet and curious. Car pleasure trains drive along the promenade, on which you can ride both Santa Susanna and Malgrat de Mar: their final stops are in Santa Susanna nearby (50 meters from each other). It is very interesting to drive, especially along Santa Susanna. This city itself is located on fairly high hills a little away from the resort area with a promenade, and the views both on the hills themselves with neat mansions and on the city from these hills are very interesting. Malgrat de Mar, on the other hand, is interesting for its old narrow streets, along which a steam locomotive passes with difficulty, from which, it seems, you can reach the walls of the houses with your hands.
Hotel "Onabrava" is located very conveniently - at the beginning of the promenade, so in order to get around the promenade, you do not have to go back and forth, but just go out and go in one direction. The hotel is brand new with all the ensuing consequences: new furniture, complete and well-functioning plumbing, etc. Room keys are magnetic. The air conditioner in the room is central but powerful and works well. It turns on with the same card that opens the door. At the entrance, on the right side, a card receiver is fixed on the wall into which it must be inserted until a tangible, as it were, snap of the capture. The air conditioner automatically turns off when you open the balcony. To be able to leave the air conditioner on in your absence, you must ask the reception for a second room key and use it for the air conditioner. The room is not very big, but it is not needed. The bed is excellent: double and very spacious, almost three-sleeping. The balcony is good with balcony furniture: a couple of chairs and a table. In the same place, on the chairs, they usually dried and washed. The room has a safe deposit box, which is taken by the key. When you check out, you hand over the key and you get the deposit back.
The windows of the rooms of all, except for the suites, overlook each other and neighboring hotels. But in Santa Susanna, almost 95% of the hotels are like this, because all of them, with rare exceptions, are on the same street side by side.
The hotel "Onabrava" has two "wings", interconnected by a spacious hall with a reception, a bar, a lounge with a piano and a pianist, sofas and armchairs. The restaurant is located in our "ground floor", ie. half below the ground, but done so ingeniously that there are full-length display windows overlooking the pool and pool bar. The food is very varied and good. Breakfast is full, i. e. there are also a lot of cold appetizers (all sorts of cuts, cheese, jamon, sausages, ham, salads, yogurt, milk, muesli, fruits... ), as well as hot dishes such as scrambled eggs, sausages, fish, meat. From drinks - tea, coffee, juices from the machine, champagne. Fruits were usually pineapples, watermelons, melons, plums, peaches and fruit salads. Fruits are not always the most ripe, especially peaches and plums, had to be chosen. But always everything that was on the distribution was replenished in a timely manner and there was no shortage of something.
We had HB so I can only speak about dinner. For dinner, the choice is much larger: wonderful baked meat, which is cut right in front of you and for you, no less than three types of fish, various meat dishes, sushi, ice cream. drinks for dinner are all (! ) Paid. Wine cards are served on the tables, you can take wine, water, beer, etc. for money. That is, the hotel restaurant works for drinks in real restaurant mode. Since we are not connoisseurs of Spanish wines, when we ordered, we described what kind of wine we want, for example: dry red. Thanks to the waiters, they were professionals and that's what they brought, and inexpensively: 500 ml of wine cost about 4-5 euros. In general, the hotel staff has a very good school and a high level of discipline. This is not a family-type hotel, but a mass one, and therefore it is precisely such staff that is needed there. Everyone is polite, cold-blooded, attentive, but there are a lot of vacationers and therefore you will be given just enough time to solve your problem and that's it.
If you exit from the back of the hotel and pass the parking lot across the field, then 300 meters to the right there are hangar-type buildings - these are shops, incl. supermarket, where we gladly took Sangria for 2.5 euros per liter bottle. Among these stores there is a wine supermarket - in Spain there are such. On sale there are hundreds of varieties and types of wines and other alcoholic beverages, as well as accompanying products such as sweets, jamon, etc. There are also a dozen small kegs with taps and plastic cups for tasting: everything in kegs is free try. True, we did this only when the guides brought us along the way to such wine markets (herd and dad is easier to beat).
The beaches are 300-400m from the hotel, but you don't feel these meters. The beaches are democratic. Negroes in the morning put out shabby deck chairs, on which 1.5 percent of vacationers settle down for money. We, like everyone else, bought a large towel for 8 euros and calmly settled on it. Anyone who wants to can buy an umbrella for the same money. And then leave it or take it home with you, as you wish.
The road to the beach passes under the railway bed. The train along the Costa del Maresme runs along the entire coast and separates the beach from almost all hotels. But the train seems to be on rubber wheels, so you can't hear it in the rooms. The train stop in Santa Susanna is a 3-minute walk from the Onabrava hotel. Terribly comfortable. The road to Barcelona takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. At the same time, you arrive right in the city center on Plaza Catalunya. This train is an electric train and therefore the ticket can be used at any time during the day. It is better to take a ticket back and forth, it is cheaper, and if in Barcelona you want to travel by a tourist bus with a sightseeing tour, it is cheaper to take a bus ticket at the railway ticket office in Santa Susanna along with a train ticket. In this case, a train ticket will cost almost half as much. Just ask for a ticket for Bus turistic and Barcelona & back.
And the last thing: the contingent of vacationers in Santa Susanna consists mainly of adult family people with children and the elderly. Everything is calm and quite respectable there. The beach can be called both small pebble and coarse sand, some kind of soil structure with quartz particles 1-5 mm in size. The municipal beach is of moderate cleanliness, it is cleaned mechanically (by machines with screening devices) daily. The sea is very clean and transparent. Passenger boats sail on the sea. On them you can sail to the neighboring resort towns.
Have a good rest.
