We stayed at the Hotel Aquamarina. It was very, very clean.
The food was excellent, always plenty of choice for all nationalities and always hot.
Location was ideal for us as not far from the beach and shops on your doorstep literally, the street market was very good. Short walk away many other shops.
All the staff made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them.
We did not watch the entertainment very often as we usually went into the town at night to walk off our evening meal but on the odd occasional we did it was very good.
I would have no hesitation to recommend this hotel. It was first class.
Thank you all for a wonderful holiday.

Lovely hotel, great location, rooms cleaned every day, fresh towels every day, bathroom slightly on the small side but adequate, hairdryer which was good, breakfast was okay something for everyone, try to get it as it is cooked so it is hot, get there before 8.45 after that you will have to que up, it is a very large hotel which was not full at the time we went or i should imagine in high season they would be very long ques, coming to the evening meal that was horrendous absolutely the worst food i have ever seen or tried i lived on soup and melon for the 2 weeks i was there, food was cold and undercooked even the soup had to be put in the micro most nights, don't go after 8.30 not a lot left, do not really cater for the english, my husband will eat anything and try anything, he was violently ill for 24 hours and spent the day in bed after that he just eat soup and fruit no meats, chicken was pink inside also the beefburgers and sausage was not cooked,we ended up buying bread and cheese from the supermarket and making sandwiches in our room.
The hotel was very clean, and the staff friendly, the entertainment was okay,

Hotel was kept very clean, there was something for everyone in the restaurant, even our faddy daughter was surprised.
Staff were helpful and friendly. I think the part time life guard was really keeping guard on the sun lounges and mats.
A short stroll to the beach but an excellent pool if that's too much effort.
Day time bingo and everyone (yes everyone)joined in.
Only down side was the near by train line, but having said that we used it to travel about.
We would go again.

The hotel was very clean and has just undergone refurbishment. The hotel room was modern and was cleaned every day by the maids. The public areas in the hotel were also modern and very clean. The hotel provided excellent facilities, including a gym, sauna,games room, and cinema which was very good. There was also an extensive programme for the children's club and for adult sports. The hotel staff were very helpful and spoke good english. Within the area the hotel seemed one of the largest but this did not effect the cleaniness of the hotel.
The biggest let down of the holiday was the hotel food. The restaurant is very large and clean, but is very much like a school/work canteen. The hotel attempted to cook food from other countries but failed, it would have been better if they had cooked local spanish food. Due to the size of the hotel the food was sometimes cold or poor qualtiy due to the volume of people they were cooking for. The breakfast became very mundane after two weeks, due to there being no restaurants in the area; it was even impossible to go out for dinner to break up the week of poor hotel food.
The hotel location is ideal as it is only 5-10 minutes walk to both the beach and train station. You can not hear the trains go passed during the night from the hotel.
Another let down is the hotels entertainment, mostly it is not in english. It is tacky and poor quality but not due to the staff not trying. It just seemed more directed to the french and german/dutch.
Overall the hotel is very clean and the major let down is the food. In our opinion it is not best suited to couples but more families. We will not be returning to this hotel again and that said the area too. There just was very little to do for couples.

we stayed at this hotel for 1 week in aug 2004, the food was ok but i feel it could have had more of a choice each night. the rooms were cleaned daily and your bed changed if you asked, the location is not to bad but there is not a lot to do in resort,the staff were very helpful at all times and the entertainment
was below average. the worst part of the holiday was having to get up early to make sure you get a sunbed for the day as people were getting up at 6am to put towels on beds, the pool area is small for the size of the hotel as when all the sunbeds are out you are so close together you can not move.

Four of us spent 10 days in the Aquamarina in August.
The hotel was large and catered for around 600 to 700 people, but this did not interfere with the cleanliness of the place. The hotel was spotless and our rooms where cleaned every day by very friendly chamber maids.
The restaurant could be very busy at times due to the amount of visitors in hotel and a lot of times people had to queue to get into the restaurant. We had ample warning of this due to someone else's review and followed the times he suggested, these were 8.30 for breakfast and 7.00 for dinner, we did not have to queue once. The menu had lots of variety and suited people from all countries, the only thing was it was repeated every 7 days so if you're there for 2 weeks you will have to put up with week ones menu again.
The location of the hotel is excellent if you are a beach person you just need to cross the road and you are there, the only downfall is its a shingle beach and some people dont like that.
It was also only a ten minute walk into Malgrat which is a busier resort and for those who want to go further afield the train station is a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
The hotel had loads of facilities with its own shops and hairdressers as well as a cinema and bowling alley, the internet cafe was a favourite of mine and I was able to keep in touch with people at home for far less that the price of phone calls.
Our party thoroughly enjoyed this holiday and would not hesitate to go back again.

My family have stayed in this hotel for the last 6 years and have noticed many improvements during that time.
The refurbishments for last year have improved the look of the hotel corridors and bathrooms with the welcome addition of hairdryers.
The hotel is always clean with each room being cleaned and tidied each day and the public areas, including the toilets, are cleaned at regular intervals throughout the day.
The food has improved year on year and there is usually a good choice of meals available. To avoid queuing for breakfast it's wise to get there before 9am.
The hotel appears to have many loyal staff, who have been there during all the years we have visited. They are helpful and friendly and always appear to make a special effort to speak to our disabled son who loves going there.
We have no complaints at all!

This is a Hotel from Hell. The hotel food was always cold and disgusting..thats if you could describe it as food. My dog would have turned up its nose. Everyone in the hotel (there were a lot of people, about 600-700) seemed to think the same as ourselves. That was that the hotel could have made a bit more effort. The location of the hotel was close to a train station that was the only good thing i can say. Everything else was very disappointing.

Myself and my wife visited this hotel recently. Its in an area called Santa Susanna but is also quite near Malgrat. I've read the other reports on the hotel/resort and I'm afraid I have to agree the biggest let down was the food. We were Half Board but just ended up picking our way through chips and other bits and pieces. Theres not a lot to do in this resort either so I suggest you bring a few good books and plently of patience. Sorry to spoil you holiday if you've not already been on holiday and are about to stay at this hotel. I would definitely not visit this hotel again or the resort.
