We rested in this hotel from the tour operator Corel Travel. We were met in an organized manner and taken to the hotel. They resettled also normally. The hotel is located in the small town of Calella (Calella), about 65 km from Barcelona, ​ ​ Costa Bravo. The locals call it Calella. We lived on the 6/8 floor overlooking the city (half of the rooms have balconies on the mountain and at the bottom of the utility block). The hotel is located on line 3. To the sea about 15 minutes at a slow pace, from the hill. Back already downhill, of course). Everything stated on the official website of the hotel is there. The repair was in 2006, but of poor quality. The biggest drawback of the hotel is the amazing audibility. It looks like they forgot about soundproofing during the renovation.
The food was full board and I still had to buy cards for drinks (bought at the reception). With all inclusive, this is not necessary. Do not repeat our mistake - do not buy these cards for all family members. As it turned out later, you can do without them at all - at the end of the dining room, at the grill, all drinks are poured without cards.
The Russian-speaking staff is in the form of a guy at the reception - Toli Alain, Toli Alex is his name.

Safe in the room. Deposit 10 euros. I don’t remember how much it costs, but I recommend using it. God saves man, who save himself.
They cleaned every day, but the maids were different - one of them would change the bed with towels, and report soap and shampoo, while the other forgets about it. In this case, feel free to go to her and ask for everything that is missing. In the bathroom there is soap, shampoo, shower gel, combs, toothbrushes, a disposable machine, a shower cap. There is a hair dryer. Never take towels to the beach. They will notice - a big fine and not get out. Smoking is prohibited in the hotel, but you can on the balcony and on the street, incl. and on the beach.
The beach (coarse sand) is municipal, clean. It stretches along the coast in a wide (100 meters) strip. It is cleaned every evening. There are volleyball nets. Sunbeds and umbrellas are mostly in front of the bars, paid (5 euros per umbrella and per sunbed). People sunbathe on towels and under their own umbrellas.
The town is clean. Every morning the sidewalks in front of each shop are washed, the streets are regularly cleaned. An evening promenade along the main street with many shops will give you pleasure. Prices in Calella are slightly lower than in Barcelona. Remember the Spanish siesta - the Spaniards do not work (shops) from 13-00 to 17-00. The tradition is this)). Day off - Sunday, for museums - Monday.
If you want to go to Barcelona, ​ ​ then first go on a sightseeing tour, and then I recommend going to Barç a by train yourself (at the same time, compare their trains with ours)). The drive is only 1 hour. The path is along the sea. Trains run every half hour. The main thing is not to be late for the return. The train is part of the city metro network and you arrive right in the city center.
Spaniards are friendly and cheerful people. They love the holidays and cook delicious food. Be sure to try the national cuisine. Lots of delicious wine. I recommend from 4 euros and above. Be sure to try the cava and sangria.

I hope that your holiday on the Costa Bravo will bring you a lot of pleasure and you will want to come here again.
