The Hotel itself is very impressive for only a 3 star. It is very welcoming in the reception and is very clean throughout. The staff are very polite.
The pool although small is adequate and clean. There was also a small park for the children.
The food is plentiful and has some choice and is hot and throughly cooked. There was always plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and a choice of meat and fish.
The rooms were very clean and the maids were lovely, leaving fresh towels every day and making your beds.
The only downside to this hotel was the noise from the corridors in the morning and late evening while you were trying to sleep. There was also lots of Dutch and Germans.
Ideally located in the middle of town, with lots of shops and restaurants around you.
Only a five minute walk to the beach under the train track.
We did not stay in for any entertainment in the evening, as we went to the local English bars on coronation street! but there was entertainment on every evening.
Would definitely visit this hotel again.

A very good hotel, it was very clean.
A good choice of food at meal times, only fault was the entertainment, this was not very good, but our balcony overlooked the Reymar Playa which had better entertainment in the evening.
We had some street noise from Dutch returning from the clubs, but this was not as bad as we had in Salou a few years back. I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel was very nice and clean the staff was all friendly and did their best to help you in every way they could.
The food was good but not a great choice for breakfast but you would be able to sort out something to keep you going evening meals very good and good choice.
The location was very good and short walk to beach shops and other locations.
The only downfall if any was entertainment wasn't for the British really but plenty of other places to visit.
We would certainly visit the hotel and location again.

Comments: Clean, comfortable fairly quiet, breakfast rather unsatisfactory, garlic in the scrambled eggs for example,and inedible little sausages.evening meals fairly good some evidence of food kept overnight and served again the next day. Wine a bit expensive 6.70 euros for a bottle which can be found in the shops for 2.30. Fully refurbished with air. con. etc.Which you must pay extra for.We spent two weeks there for

Just returned from a week at the hotel monteplaya ( half board) booked through direct holidays. The rooms are neat and tidy and can hold up to 4 people in single beds, but thats definately pushing it, 3 at the max, cleaner comes around everyday but our cleaner anyway was very skimpy on the toilet roll, just one small roll every day, had to go out into hallway and ask her for another later same day. Food is passable plenty of variety, but its a case of find the bacon as its always streaky variety every day, and very little bacon on it, mostly fat. Liver was offered on a few occasions (Veal) but I cant stand the taste and smell of the stuff anyway, as I believe others couldn't either by the amount that was left over. The next day it was cleverly disguised in crumb but obviously tasted the same. The soup is terrible was only acceptable on a few nights. Overall you won't go hungry as there is a good variety and the deserts , jellies ice cream and others are very good. Entertainment is pitiful at the best, but plenty to see and do nearby, only one thing don't get drawn into a game of bingo at the nearby Rovers Return pub, as they only play one line every half hour at most, its just a ploy to get you in, and keep you drinking, 4 lines and one house in one and a half hours is really pushing it(Crafty Scots for you again) By the way the hotel Monteplaya has a really small swimming pool, so much so that I said to my partner "lets go to the main pool now" to get the reply " this is the main pool" Monteplaya drink prices over priced, a big of standard crisps 1 euro 30 cents .. a rip off , a cornata soft 2 euro 50 cents, only 1.0 euro down the road at local shops.
overall score 6/10

A family hotel with lots of kids runnings around, if your after a quiet couple type break then this is not for you, depends what you want but am afraid I just thought Malgrat was Blackpool (not that I have anything against Blackpool, just not my cup of tea)in Spain. The kids got a bit to much in the end.
The hotel was clean and the staff friendly (Very helpful if your trying to get around, ask for advice on trains to Barcelona, Girona), I personally thought the food was of a poor quality however there was a lot of variety but much of it was fatty and greasy, by the end I was sick and tired of it.
I expected some spanish food but all I found was chicken and chips type food for two weeks. The head waiter I have to say has the people skills of well a person without any, I saw several people walk out after arguments, you only get an hour slot to eat your meal which I think got on a few peoples nerves, it felt a bit like a school canteen were you walked in ate quickly and got back out again.
The room was basic but clean and we got clean towels each day. If your on the the left hand side of the hotel as you look at it then your not going to get much sleep till at least midnight as the hotel next door blares entertainment out till then, most nights this was fine as we were out and about anyway but if you fancy an early night forget it.
If you do go and want some peace and quiet then try the solarium, its the best place to get it as its away from the pool.
I think Families can enjoy this hotel more than couples and it really depends on what you like for a holiday.

Just returned from a fortnight at the Monteplaya.
Great hotel, very clean, staff very helpful.
Good choice of food at mealtimes - no-one should starve here, however fussy they are - and it was all well cooked.
The drinks in the bar aren't good quality but the measures are quite generous, and the bar staff are pleasant and friendly, especially Hassan (my kids loved him) and Alex.
We didn't think much of the entertainment. We often went out to escape "Superman", "Agadoo", and "The Birdie Song".
Nice little pool on the upper level, spent many hours up there, and a solarium for those who like to sunbathe away from the pool and kids.
Loads of Dutch in the hotel and Malgrat itself.
My girls didn't bother with the kids club, but Lydia, the childrens entertainer always seemed to be surrounded by them, so she must be doing something right!
I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.
