Hey!
We rested in this hotel in early October 2007. The weather was good, it rained for a couple of days, but the rest - 24-26 degrees. The sea was a bit cool (the Spaniards, of course, don’t swim at this time, but the Russians, the Germans - quite : ), but you quickly get used to it and after you get your feet wet you already go in calmly : ).


From the hotel you can walk to 2 beaches within a 10-minute leisurely walk. One is quite crowded - a promenade with palm trees, benches, etc. , in general, a fairly passable place, people come there and just take a walk (I mean not only sunbathing and swimming). On the second, there are just not very many people and it is located in a quieter place (you can see it on the pictures). And here and there you can rent sun loungers (I don’t remember the cost). The sea is beautiful! Such a turquoise shade in the sun - class! ) is beautiful. And besides, there are no living creatures such as jellyfish and algae. Depth is not immediately, you have to go a little deeper. Everywhere sandy beach.
As for the hotel itself, I can say that I am satisfied with absolutely everything! Very positive emotions and memories. I especially want to emphasize the quality of the food! For me, this is a rather important point, since not everyone can and love to eat, but there has always been a choice even for such picky people like me.

Breakfast is always scrambled eggs, sausages, muesli (as well as various nuts) with milk, fruits (grapes, plums, oranges, pineapples ... ), yogurts, also very tasty pastries and a variety of drinks (tea, green tea, unnatural juice), coffee, coffee with milk, Nesquik, cocoa, just milk) ...You could make hot toast with jam, honey, butter. In general, the breakfasts are very tasty.

Lunches and dinners are also very decent, I repeat that there is always plenty to choose from. Several types of hot dishes: fish, beef, pork. Several times we cooked pilaf with seafood (mussels, shrimp + meat). For lunch there was always some kind of soup.

Several types of side dishes, they always changed, it could be potatoes (in any form: french fries, just pieces, fried), spaghetti, stewed beans, rice, any vegetable stews ...I don’t remember everything. For dinner (or lunch . . I don’t remember exactly . . most likely for dinner) there was always at least one independent purely vegetarian dish. Plus several types of salads, as well as simply slicing tomatoes, cucumbers, various pickles, olives, olives, etc. The most important thing is that everything is very tasty and of high quality! There were no problems with the lack of food either, we came several times at the very end and there was always plenty of everything. In addition, for dinner, as well as for breakfast, fruit was offered (every day: grapes, oranges, watermelons ...+ occasionally melon, plums)! And also for dinner, a separate dessert table was organized, where there were a lot of, well, very tasty desserts and pastries ! ! : )) Only I must warn you that for lunch and dinner drinks are offered only for extra.
fee. For example, 1 bottle of mineral water (carbonated or not, it doesn't matter) cost 1 or 1.5 euros. There were also spirits (other than champagne, if anyone likes).

The service at the hotel is also good. At the reception there is one girl (Spanish, by the way), who speaks Russian. It works daily, but at certain hours, it is better to find out it is already there. Cleaning quality. Each room has air conditioning. Linens and towels are all clean. True, there were sometimes slightly tattered towels, but given that they were clean, we didn’t care. All rooms seem to have their own balcony. On the territory there is a swimming pool (not heated). The hotel has a jacuzzi and a sauna. There are billiard tables. Internet access (computers on the 1st floor; paid service). Safe in the room, the key to it is provided for a fee.

The animation is mediocre, but you can’t say that you can die of boredom there.
Animators are activated somewhere after 7 o'clock, when they started various shows: either karaoke, or some performances. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is the nightly performances at the aparthotel Marinada (right across the street from the Marinada hotel) - just super!! ! no words! At 9 or 10 o'clock (sorry, I don't remember exactly already .. ) artists came there and sang very cool in Spanish and English. Often something fun, sometimes classic romantic, something like "only you... " for fans of early sleep - vryat whether it will be possible to fall asleep before 11-12 o'clock.

As for the guests of the hotel, they are mostly Spaniards, as it seemed to me at that time about 50% of them were elderly ...there are very few Russians, I met only one couple. There are also French and British (already a younger contingent : ) )

For excursions - I highly advise you to go to Port Aventura !!!

Just cool! so many attractions : ) And from the Costa Dorada it can go there for 15-20 minutes by bus. Then the ticket cost 20 euros. I was also on Mount Montserrat in the monastery, it’s also great (I posted a few photos) awesome views! And of course in Barcelona! It is something! Insanely beautiful city! I advise you to take a sightseeing tour if possible. Especially with a visit to the magic fountain, very beautiful. Include it in the evening twice for 20 minutes each action. Really fascinates, to the music, multi-colored jets. super! On the tour they said that this is still the most powerful fountain in the world. I also liked the fishing village of Cambrils, such a small settlement, you can walk along the promenade + look at the Spanish architecture, there are such narrow streets. It's also a short 15 minute bus ride.

I think I've said enough already. I can safely recommend! I liked it there very much.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday!
