We planned our holidays for a long time and carefully, we chose and chose everything, studied the comments and reviews, settled on Santa Susanna and Don Angel . . and did not lose! It should be noted that I am generally a rather picky girl, everything is important to me, and staying at a hotel is no exception. I understand, of course, that during the holidays this is just a transit point for a night's sleep (and sometimes just change clothes), but, you see, a good location and excellent service always leave a pleasant impression. So it happened with us. The hotel is located more than favorably, there is a large supermarket (carefur) nearby, there is also a huge wine store, it takes 5-8 minutes to go to the sea, to the railway station 10, and on the tour we were picked up from a stop near the neighboring hotel. I was very frightened by the proximity of the railway tracks, but they are not heard at all! Except when you walk by. You could go directly to the sea in 2 minutes, but you need to walk a little along the rail and go down to the underpass. On the beach, small, very small pebbles, we lay on towels, there was not even a need to go to the sunbeds, it was soft and comfortable. The sea is clean, warm, stormy, however, for a couple of days, but we bought a mattress and could not splash. : )
As for the hotel, it's generally great. I didn't even expect. Cleanliness, room decor - all flawless. By the way, we had a huge French bed - nice. The bathroom is spacious, hair dryer, shampoos, shower gels, everything was there. The only thing is the sockets. But then again, I got ready and took tees with me, because we were carrying two phones, tablets, a player, plus sometimes I wanted to turn on the TV - all this required electricity. Another small problem is the lack of drying on the balcony. I took clothespins with me, and fastened bathing towels right on the balcony railing. True, my clothespins were, to put it mildly, frail, and half fell apart at the first light wind blower, but no things flew overboard, and that's good.
The buffet is generally a separate conversation... We took breakfast and dinner. I got to dessert on the third day... Simply because it was so delicious that I could no longer cram a crumb into myself! : ) But then again, I'm sooo picky about food. I was especially pleased with national dishes and a huge amount of fish and seafood. Fruit was in abundance. In general, both I and my boyfriend were very satisfied. As for paid drinks at dinner, well, yes, there is. We ordered sangria, for two glasses it was 7.80, and given that we hardly spent any money on snacks, except for fruit and water, this is not such a big expense. Moreover, it is very tasty.

We took a safe-20 euros, and left 10 as a deposit. We didn’t need a refrigerator, if we bought something, we ate and drank it right away.
The hotel had two pools, but we never swam there, but we came to the sea : )
There is nothing much to see in the city itself, except for a stroll through the souvenir shops and some shops.
As for excursions, the tour, of course, offers the widest choice of them, for every taste and budget. We did not dare to go to Barcelona on our own (which I regret very much !!!! ), and bought 2 excursions - sports and shopping and monumental Barcelona. Personally, before leaving, I thoroughly studied the entire history of the city and all the main attractions, so that later I could visually consolidate my knowledge. And in the end, everything was clear, simple and understandable, although some complained about the abundance of information . . There is probably no point in writing about the beauty and incredible attractiveness of the city, and everything is so clear. We did not issue tax free, although up to 18 percent (VAT) could be returned at the airport for purchases, and many did so. To be honest, we just felt sorry for the time for all these checks. And by the way, el court ingles is very expensive, the leading brands are collected there, and the prices are appropriate. I liked the lilla diagonal shopping center, a lot of democratic brands.
Only one thing overshadowed the rest... on the second day in a wok cafe, which is near the carefour, my purse with a phone, camera and expensive earrings was stolen from me. It just so happened that everything was there : ( They steal terribly there, they even told how gold chains were torn off their necks. Or a beautiful girl gives you a flower, for the minimum price, and while you are rummaging through coins, strong guys run up to you and tear out your wallet So you have to be extremely careful and careful.
But those impressions and emotions that I brought home are more expensive than all things, and if there is an opportunity, I will definitely return to these wonderful lands, which I wish you with all my heart!
