I stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip where the conference was taking place in the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and for the whole trip they were always attentive, polite, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. The rooms in the hotel are perfect. They are very clean, modern, spacious, well equipped and and very well maintained. I would give the beds 10⁄10 for size and comfort. The facilities in the hotel were excellent. Next to the reception was a very nice bar and restaurant that led out to a beautiful shaded terrace which boasted very comfortable seating. The terrance overlooked the pool and poolside bar which like the rest of the hotel were very nice and well maintained. I managed to get free time away from the conference for a 30 minute dip in the pool and the water was absolutely perfect. The hotel has a gate which leads you directly our onto the beach. It is about a 10 minute stroll from the nearest town which is full of great restaurants and bars and the walk there will take you by some very picturesque beach bars. The only reason the hotel does not get 5 stars is because of the Wifi. It is only free in the lobby and conference room and you must pay for use in the rooms. Both the paid and free wifi are terrible quality, difficult to connect to and slow. In 2015 I find it completely unacceptable that a hotel does not have good quality, fast and free wifi. If the hotel were to change this it would instantly get 5 stars. I’d also point out that this hotel is really not equipped for children. Although they have a pool and are right beside the beach there were no other visible amenities for them to avail of. However, I would 100% recommend this hotel for business or pleasure and I’m hoping to arrange a weekend break away here later this year.

Solo puedo comentar que asistí a un evento programado por los profesores de mi colegio para celebrar el final de curso. Al llegar nos encontramos con un espacio reservado en donde durante media hora tuvimos barra libre de bebidas acompañado con unas patatas. Podíamos acceder a la piscina del hotel(había poca gente dentro), utilizar las hamacas o salir al acceso directo que tienen con la playa(donde curiosamente se estaba realizando una boda). Cenamos en una terraza, un pica pica(un poco escaso según mis compañeros) que adaptaron en parte a mis intolerancias acompañado de un plato principal de paella de marisco. Todo ello regado con vino blanco y negro(no me fijé en la marca la verdad) y agua(gallega, eso me hizo gracia). De postre sirvieron un yogurt con frutos rojos(yo salí ganando con un plato de fruta variada). Debo reconocer que la paciencia que mostraron con un grupo de profesores alocados fue grande pero para mi gusto personal la relación calidad — precio por mucho que fueran cuidados los detalles de presentación no acaba de ser rentable ya que por el precio por persona que pagamos(entendiendo que el uso de la piscina entraba en el pack) fue un poco justo a nivel de comida. Eso si, el entorno invitaba a relajarse, la piscina me pareció cuidada y bonita y el plus de acceder a la playa un extra más que quizá deban tener en cuenta los que deseen instalarse en sus vacaciones ya que el entorno es tranquilo y en una zona residencial.

Very clean and cozy with large rooms that fit 2 very comfortably. Functional without excess and feels very modern with lots of dark wood. Access to the beach right next to a nice pool as well. The overall ambience of the place is quite chic and the surrounding neighborhood is very Southern Californian with tennis courts and shop lined streets running perpendicular to the beach. Without having a lot of parking on premise the street parking was very easy to find and very close, basically right in front of the hotel. If you are planning to visit Barcelona city often then you must rent a car because this place is not within public transport distance. Even in a car it was a solid 20 minutes away from Barcelona and 15 from downtown Gava. I would definitely stay here again and the beaches were very quiet and not tourist laiden.
