Место хорошее, еда кошмарная, остальное нам обычно не важно :) The place is good, the food is terrible, the rest is usually not important to us :)

Forgive me for writing a review on the Dolphin Park Hotel, but I really wanted to share it. Were from 11 to 25 September 2010. Long chose - Las Vegas or Dolphin Park. We agreed on Dolphin - there was a super-offer - together for 70 tyrov. Bought. The difference with Vegas was 100 euros. In short, we go for the fifth year, being a rabid admirer of Spain - last year we visited Marbella - Costa del Sol - rested in Belalmadena - the Playa Bonita hotel is the same 4 * - seafood of all kinds every day - for any choice - I thought I would not leave the restaurant - everything is just great. On top of that - on the second floor of the hotel - an ice machine - which, at a daytime temperature of 35 degrees C, is extremely necessary for cooling various drinks. I note that the safe and refrigerator in the room were FREE!!! . But, like all Russians, they thought that they didn’t have a very good rest, however, in the hotel - 4 stars - there was no seafood at all in the Dolphin. Fish - 2 times in two weeks (but the sauce - S-U-P-E-E-R - based on garlic - which then could not get rid of its taste and smell - was prepared by the chef himself). Being a supporter of vegetables - all two weeks I ate spinach, canned sardines, sweet peppers, steamed spinach and a la Georgian lobio. By the way, the same chef was in Las Vegas. (And they had shrimps every day - rotans, mussels, squids, shrimps and 2 times a week - lobsters). We never dreamed of such a thing! The location of the hotel is optimal (unlike Las Vegas) - and not far from the sea (100 m) and close to the center. But, if you are planning to go on a long excursion - then woe to you - the naive, that you will have normal places to pick you up from the hotel - usually the last ones are taken from the Dolphin Park hotel from Europe Square. We traveled to Andorra from the Europa hotel sitting on the last seat - 5 seats - aunt - about 100 kg, her husband - about 130 kg, my husband - 110 kg, and I about 60 kg. It's hard!! ! Going on an excursion to Monaco and Nice, we signed up after the "consultations" for departure from the Las Vegas hotel. We sat in the second row - behind the guide - which is very good. However, I want to note that all long-distance excursions do not give a complete impression of the places to visit. (Although the guide - Irena - is something - my husband and I really liked it). It should be noted that due to the end of the season with the weather, we were a little unlucky - we went for a walk in Tarragona on our own - 3 times for a walk it was raining, and torrential. But I really liked the city itself, despite the weather. Out of habit, we also went to Barcelona to the village of boutiques - Vila Roca - over the years everything has changed so much, and obviously not for the better - from an obvious drain with things lying on the floor of shops, the complex has turned into an ordinary shopping paradise. It is now impossible to see our Russians taking BOSS suits out of boutiques. Seedy polo shirts from MarcoPolo for 25 euros - this is not a stock!! ! In comparison, it is worth noting that under Malaga - the Playa Mayor shopping center - creates a much better impression of shopping in Spain. But disappointment in shopping was also waiting for us at the airport - imagine if someone had been to Barcelona airport before - that of all the duty free shops, only 2 shoe, 2 wine and 2 perfume shops are open !!! ! The entire airport is EMPTY!! ! In general, every year - the crisis makes itself felt in them much more than in us. But, this is not a reason to refuse trips with or without family to this wonderful country. Since 2012, bullfighting with the killing of bulls has been banned in Catalonia. There is still time!! !
