When arriving at the hotel,we all agreed,"great,good hotel",as we had our 2 year old son with us,we were expecting a room possibly 1 or 2 up.

We got the top floor,when we got to our room,it didn't have a double bed,or cot. It had two single beds pushed together,and when the cot arrived,it looked like it was made by a blind man.

The view was spectacular,the pool was great,BUT there was a Spanish school party,and what a racket they made.

The entertainment was deplorable,more for grannys and Germans,nothing for the kids to do at night apart from annoy the other guests.

The food was terrible,the beer was very weak,and you only could get two drinks each time you went to the bar. STAFF: the staff were the most obnoxious people I have ever met,if you were not british,they loved you.

Take my advice. please dont waste your valuable cash and time on this holiday.

Although apparently recently refurbished, the standard of the rooms were less than basic. The food was at times unpalletable and the staff surly. The entertainment was very poor and at times non existant. The cleanliness of the hotel is poor. Avery poor value for money hotel.

Hotel was very clean, daily maid service with friendly staff. However 4 beds in one room very very cramped no room to move or open balcony door, felt this was a health and safety issue. Pool area very clean but no inflatables or any kind allowed in pool not even a beach ball for the kids. There were a lot of Spanish at the hotel and they did seem to get preferential treatment as All Inclusive guests we were made to feel second class by the main bar staff. They appeared to ignore us whenever we approched the bar. this did result in a few arguements not only from ourselves but other AI guests. As we had a party of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) we found it unbeliveable that we could only ever purchase 2 drinks at a time, not very good when either my husband or i were trying to keep an eye on the kids, this meant we were made to make 2 trips to the bar even for soft drinks. The manager said this was hotel policy, I could understand it if we were on our own, incase we were going to sit and get drunk every night but we along with a lot of other families had small children with us so that was never going to be the case. A comment of you are getting it free anyway, was made by a member of the bar staff. We did speak to the manager about it and the situation did get a little better but not by much. The entertainment was poor. The mini disco was ok for the kids but adult entertainment was the worst I've encountered. The acts they had on only seemed to clear the place of only the hardy few. The food was poor/fair nothing really for the kids. The free for all to get a table was a joke. All in all we will not be back.

We enjoyed our stay at the Olympic,it was relaxing with the choice of 3 pools, the 2 front ones quieter than the large one. The rooms were slightly small for 4 persons, but the idea of the roller beds is so that you can roll them under the bed during the day to make more room for opening the balcony door etc. The bar staff weren't the happiest of chappies, but still got served fairly quickly. The hotel was extremely clean and tidy and the maids friendly. The food was very nice sometimes a bit repetative, but we didnt starve, and even our 2 kids were prepared to try things as it was well presented, sometimes a little cold by the time you get back to the table, but there is a microwave. The lifts were busy, but didnt take that long, anyway it was good exercicse walking down from the fifth floor, but worth waiting for the lift to go up. Overall we had a lovely time and no nightmares. The hotel is in a good position for the resort, close to the beach and entertainment. There are a few good pubs, Gringo Joes, White Horse and Beach boys, and the 2 boys enjoyed the crazy golf and bowling (opp Beach boys).

The pool area was excellent, there were loads of sunbeds and an excellent pool bar. The pool water was really cold. The drinks menu really was fantastic, the choice was excellent.
I have to point out though, that the food really was awful and there was a lack of choice. The hotel bar was nice, and there was a room at the back if you prefered a quieter atmosphere, away from the repeated kids entertainment!

If you are looking for a quiet holiday with only a few children, this may not be the hotel for you. I went just before the high season started, and by the end of the holiday there were loads of children running around and sometimes getting in the way. The staff were a mixed bunch- the bar staff were lovely and one of the men on reception but the others were rude. Apart from the food though, I really can't fault the hotel at all.

where do i start with this hotel if that's what i can call it??!!!

traveled in june 2007

I would NEVER recommend anyone to book here for a holiday, it was my 1st and last holiday stopping with top hotels olympic. The hotel was dirty, rooms far to small, the walls,doors, floors etc may as well have been made out of mdf wood because they are so thin you can hear everything from next door rooms, rooms above and below plus everyone in the corridor.

I hoped to have a relaxing holiday as the hotel was reccomended in its description as 'ideal for couples and families' BUT ITS DEFINEATELY NOT!!!!

1st room we were put in was very old and looked like it hadn't been cleaned or even entered in goodness knows how long!!! got moved to different room after complaining. next room had slight improvment but still not very nice, very very small.

I DIDNT GET A SINGLE NIGHT SLEEP EVEN WITH EAR PLUGS IN because of the ammount of NOISE EVERY NIGHT. It's not a hotel at all its like a youth centre for school/college and football team trips!!! FULL OF EXTREMELY NOISEY TEENAGERS WITH NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS TRYING TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the food was horrific no wide choice of what you eat, all food very oily and greasey, we ate out every morning & night even though paid for half board, purely because the food was so bad!!

most reception staff were quite polite to deal with, as were bar and cleaning staff. one particular member of bar staff is very rude and unproffessional, rushing people to pay their money without giving them chance to count it and general attitude disgraceful!!

WE DIDNT ENJOY THIS PLACE ONE SINGLE BIT AND SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE AWAY FROM THE HOTEL IT WAS THAT BAD, NEVER TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE, IT'S NOT SUITABLE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. IF YOU LIKE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND EAT GOOD FOOD DONT COME HERE AS YOU CERTAINLY WONT GET EITHER!!! I WOULDN'T EVER TELL ANYONE TO STOP AT TOP HOTELS OLYMPIC AT CALELLA BECAUSE IT WILL BE YOUR HOLIDAY FROM HELL AS IT WAS FOR US.

We stayed at the Olympic hotel Calella it was great fun.

The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis, found the staff friendly enough, food was great.

Trying to get booked up again for the same hotel.

Went in August 03. Hotel very busy with Spanish. Suppose that's not a bad thing as they should know where the best places are in their own country. Not many brits to chat to though. Rooms very cramped if you want to sleep 4, not enough room to open the balcony door properly. Clean enough though with maids every day. Good air con in rooms. Staff seemed to be permanently stressed out apart from a couple of bar staff. Didnt stay around for the entertainment so cant comment. 3 pools and 1 kiddies pool, plenty of sunbeds. Food was excellent, always wide selection of meats,fish, pasta, salads, fruit, deserts. Lifts were permanently busy, quicker to use the stairs especially at meal times. Would go again , just for the grub but the staff were too interested in looking after the Spanish so would prefer somewhere with a few more brits.

Hotel was absoloutly fine.

Walking distance from beach, and there were regular trips to Market, Barcelona etc.

Pool was fantastic, kids loved it.

We've been to this hotel about four times. Its the easiest holiday we've ever had, and we'll definetly return. Beer is cheap, and there are plenty of happy hours.

Waiters and waitresses are very polite, and remembered us all on our varios visits.

Rooms were clean, and the maid came in every day and made the beds and changed the towels if required.

Food was average, but not unpleasant. Kids food was good.
Entertainment was poor, but Beach Boys, White Horse and the Irish bar are right on the doorstep.

All round when we go to the Olympic it is a very enjoyable experience.

I visited this hotel with my friends family in july 2003. I found the location excellent for beach and local amenities. This was my first all inclusive holiday, although i was a little disapointed the choice of food on the menu, i still thougholy enjoyed myself and would be happy to go back. The hotel cleanliness was excellent. Most staff polite and friendly.
