    5th First class stay at this hotel
    16 Jul , 2019 spdutton, 1420760
    We have just returned from our 5th consecutive annual holiday at this gem of a small and friendly TUI Hotel - a perfect description. We had a lovely room overlooking the pool kept spotlessly clean by the hard working maids. The food, if you love seafood and fish as we do is fantastic (best show cooked fish ever!!) but the range of the buffet provides something for every taste, if not you just speak to the chefs who will provide an alternative for you. Perfect location for the beach,restaurants and bars, try the superb happy hour cocktail special expertly made by the enigmatic Umberto each day. The reception staff are very proffesional and will deal with any issue or request with miinimum of fuss.Already booked for next year
    Brilliant friendly hotel

    Recently revisited this hotel with my wife for a week at the start of June. As we had been last year we knew what to expect and weren't disappointed. Lovely staff especially in the restaurant who recognised us as soon as we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and the food and drinks were spot on. There was a little bit of noise in the garden area from the construction site next door but the hotel is so well situated it is easy to walk the 200m or so to the beach which is a great alternative to lying around the pool. Our room was on the opposite side to the pool and garden and although there was no view from the balcony it was nice and quiet and very clean and comfortable with a great shower. Overall this hotel is a great place to stay right in the heart of Cambrils with the bars/restaurants/cafes and shops close at hand and right near the beach and the marina. We would definitely recommend it !
    Good hotel let down by the food.

    I only booked this hotel because of all the reviews about how wonderful the food was; did we go the wrong week, 18th – 25th June? We were so, so, disappointed with the quality of the food for a four star superior hotel. Normally we have a bottle of wine to enjoy with our dinner, but after the first night, despondency meant we just had water. The positives of the hotel, nice quiet hotel in a good location, with friendly staff, lovely well looked after pool and grounds. In the rooms, there were large white fluffy towels and a plentiful supply of complimentary toiletries. The breakfast was better than the evening meal and it was nice to sit outside for breakfast. The only evening meal I sort of enjoyed during the week was the Italian dinner. The vegetable selection was poor and the potatoes a bit strange some evening. I’ve holidayed all around Europe, and to be honest I’ve eaten better food 10years ago in a three star hotel. One piece of advice would be to update the uninspiring hole in the wall where you can take the day’s selection of small pieces of meat or fish to be grilled, here you could have 6 people waiting to have their selection cooked, and then when you went for your vegetables /potatoes the trays could be empty and then a wait for them to be replenished, or go without. I enjoy Spanish food, and I don’t expect British food, just good quality food.
    Good as ever

    Just returned from a week at the Monica. We've been going there on and off for 20 years now so it must be doing something right. Good to see that Monica is still making incremental improvements every year. If you've booked to go, the noise from adjacent construction mentioned elsewhere is barely noticeable. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing week. A minor gripe- I think the kitchen could make more of Mediterranean salads, I don't think cooked vegetables is its strong suit. I do still miss the old fashioned dark brown check in desk, the flat pack makeover isn't great (sorry Monica!)
    Very good

    This is a first class hotel at 100 m of the beach. Rooms are most comfortabel and very clean. The staff, without any exception, is very friendly. Breakfast and diner buffet are remarkable. Hardly seen in Spain a hotel with such a fast Wi-Fi inside and at the swimming pool. This hotel can be recommended wholeheartedly. Wim Blonk
