Good hotel right next to the beach
2 minutes from the station, 8 euro and 70 minutes from the international airport - right on the beach. 4-5 lovely restaurants in the small town, beach bars, sun beds and umbrellas for hire. The train runs up the coast calling in on busier tourist towns like Calella as well as Barcelona. The spa in the hotel is good and free to guests. Treatments charged extra. Breakfast is good. Never had dinner in the restaurant as there was plenty of good places with better atmosphere to find around the quiet sleepy town that comes to life at weekends - but is never busy.
Perfect for a quiet break in the sun with the spa and a 50 minutes trip to Barcelona to cover any rainy days. Not a place for party animals! Nice to be in a place that doesn't all speak English. Little craft and food market right outside the hotel on a Sunday. The beach and area next to the hotel have a family feel with plenty to amuse the kids, but no so much as they spoil a relaxed break. Nothing in the hotel itself for kids at all.
