Ocean View Hotels in Catalonia, Spain

We spent a weekend at Aiguablava Parador in Begur. We were a party of four people. The good points were the location, the rooms (comfortable beds, fabulous sea view, spacious rooms, nice amenities) the hotel is very spacious and tastefully decorated. The swimming pool, at the top end of the cliff, although not massive, is large enough and with fantastic views of the area. A very privileged position with views of Aiguablava cove and a private path down to the cove. Breakfast was varied and good quality in general and served in the breakfast room with gorgeous views. Freshly squeezed fruit juice and good quality coffee. The negatives were the check in experience, too long and with an inexperienced receptionist who lacked aptitude in the treatment of experienced travelers/customers and couldn’t get my name right. There was a general lack of coordination between departments (reception and restaurant) our evening meal reservation was not communicated to the restaurant either of the two days and my name was wrong in all departments from beginning to end even though the receptionist had access to my ID card and the online booking form. The evening meals were sub standard. Generally unpleasant food, tasteless fish and a dirty lukewarm brown sauce, packet custard-based deserts. Brick sized chunks of melon as fruit salad. Some dishes were inedible. A very limited wine list and very expensive wines. The service in the restaurant varied from pleasant to inappropriate with some comments from waiting staff demonstrating their inexperience and unsuitability to work in a hotel of this category, even though they were pleasant and kind at all times. On a final note, I requested by telephone if it would be possible to have some candles on a desert on our final evening as we were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. The receptionist said it would be no problem but it was not communicated to the restaurant and forgotten. As there had been so many hiccups with communication in general I didn’t bother to even try to remind them.

The staff is friendly and helpful with anything you need. The room had a large terrace with sea views. The heating worked very well, and the shower was spacious and comfortable. The water was very hot, so you didn't have to wait long to get the temperature right.

Location: The hotel is located near the train station, but getting there requires climbing a steep hill. It’s puzzling why the hotel doesn’t offer a shuttle bus to the station. On the bright side, the hotel faces the sea, offering stunning views. There’s also a sightseeing mini-train right downstairs, which costs €8 per person. It takes you around some of Tarragona’s main attractions, but it doesn’t stop along the way, nor is there any guided commentary. Service: The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming. They not only recommended excellent sightseeing routes but also some very delicious restaurants. Since we arrived early for check-in and our room wasn’t ready, they kindly offered us the option to use the gym facilities to change clothes if needed. Cleanness: Good. Facility: The mattress was terrible. Why do mattresses in Spanish local-brand hotels seem to always sag so much? Do they actually prefer that sinking feeling? Overall: Great value for money.

The hotel is beautifully designed, with a swimming pool, blue sky and sea as standard. Many locals come here for vacation! The breakfast is rich in variety, the service staff is also very enthusiastic, the room is spacious and comfortable, I will come here a few more times next time to enjoy a few more days!

Nice hotel, great location and attentive staff, we'd recommend. Breakfast buffet is really worth it, relaxing in front of the sea-view, we'll come back next year!

great apartment with a bath! Ideal location to explore the beach and get to the train station. Small kitchen perfect for small meals.

The breakfast is great. The soccer bar has a signed Messi jersey on display, which is a great atmosphere for soccer fans. However, the hallways are noisy at night, which may be difficult for Japanese people to handle. It's summer time. On the other hand, you can hear the sounds of the waves, birds, and guitars from your room, which is great.

It is a luxury to have a hotel in the same walk and with all the services it offers. The room with sea view is a dream and they serve you as if you were a king. We loved it; if we could, we will repeat it again. The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable.

C’est toujours un plaisir d’arriver dans cette établissement face à la mer.L’accueil est chaleureux et agréable.Le logement face à la mer est très agréable.L’équipement de base est présent mais il peut manquer de temps en temps un tire-bouchon et un ouvre boîte.La Clim réversible est un plus en saison fraîche.Le lit escamotable est très pratique et confortable en couchage,un peu raide pour regarder la télé.

Wow such a wonderful hotel and deal. But use trip. I extended my stay 1 day not using trip and the charged me more then double the trip rate !!!
