Grupotel Playa Camp de Mar

This was a short break. The weather was superb and the hotel was brilliant in every way. The food was especially excellent as were the facilites around the pool and bar areas. The proximity to the beach and the small cove made the holiday complete.

As a well versed traveler, I am shocked to see such reviews regarding this hotel, so in case a lot of these experiences are false I will give you the complete and honest picture of this terrible hotel. From arriving at the hotel it looks pretty nice from the outside and that is about all that is good. Upon entering, you are taken aback by the old and run down interior. From the lobby to the rooms they provide, absolutely everything is dated and in need of a refurbishment. The pool is hideous and dirty. The sunloungers are about 10 years old by the looks of it they were revolting. We literally had to leave, when asking to my wife was assaulted by the manger Jose whom is very aggressive, alongside his staff as they didn't want to hear it. Also there is an ever present smell of waste and urine right beside the pool which was the last straw. I mean not only do you have to put up with a filthy hotel, dirty sun loungers with the most worn out padding, a dirty pool and then the smell of **** all day long. Apparently the sewer pipes are too small so this smell is there each and everyday. Thankfully just next door is the Roc camp de mar, atleast its clean and modern, we managed to stay there for the rest of our stay. Final words, if your under 60, and your looking for a nice place to stay, don't pick this place, its for OAP's whom are too scared to complain of all the deficiencies of the hotel and also probably scared to death from Jose the manager will scream and shout you out of his hotel. I'm not suprised to be fair, he needs to understand what hospitality is, he should be sacked.

We love all aspects of this hotel and location. Jose' has a great team of staff, everyone is really friendly and helpful. We were located in our favourite room (537). As returning guests we were welcomed by many of the lovely staff who have worked there for many years. The food is very good and plentiful together with excellent service. We generally go towards the end of the season which suits us, the weather is generally good at this time of year. We enjoy our trips to local places which are easy to get to on local bus or taxi. There are a few friendly local bars close to the hotel which we always visit for a late afternoon drink.
