I had an amazing week in this hotel. The stuff is helpful, polite and kind. Our room was basic, but it got all what you need. The beach is huge, beautiful, clean and just across the hotel. In the area you can find different restaurants, shops, supermarkets... Nice to mention, every night in the hotel there is some kind of music performances. And now, Most important thing that I would like to highlight is the FOOD in the hotel. I mean, WOW! Especially the dinner, it was a rapsody of tastes, I enjoyed every meal. Chefs, you are beyond great! I would appreciate if anyone knows the names of two chefs that were constantly there through the dinner. All in all, would be back there for sure!

The hotel is clean and tidy, with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Great location, with only a few minutes walk away from the beach and shops. There is an excursion office directly next door with lots of activities to do, and we were able to book a great boat trip from here for good value. The transfer we used dropped us only a short walk away from the hotel and this is also where coaches for excursions seem to collect and drop off (you can see this from the hotel). The kids club was quiet, as at the time we went there were not many other young children there but the two girls running this were friendly and tried hard to still make this an exciting experience for those using this.

We stopped here at the end of September 2025 and the weather was generally good, 20-23 degrees, most of the time sunny with a bit of cloud and breeze. Resort I am starting here as much of your decision as to whether to come here may be based on what you want from a resort. In my view Malgrat de Mar has been tainted by tourism. Shop after shop is full of the same souvenir items and explicit slogan t-shirts. There is graffiti almost everywhere. If you want a quaint Spanish town this is not it! That said there are some highlights that I will cover off later in the review. My recommendation would be to either stop in Santa Susannah which has a little more visual appeal, or just use Malgrat as a base to visit other areas via the train service that runs through it. Hotel The hotel is nice, we really liked it. It is spotlessly clean and is in a really good location. The bar area is nice serving cocktails, sangria, beer and hot drinks. The pool area is pleasant with plenty of chairs and loungers and it is a good sun trap during the day. There are 2 small lifts to use to get you to your floor. Staff at reception were very helpful and maids came each day to make the beds and do a general room clean. Overall it is a good value hotel that I would definitely consider staying at again as a base to see more of this region. Room The rooms are adequate and modern enough with a decent balcony area to soak up some rays. The beds are firm but we found we slept ok and got used to them after a few nights. Our room was on the side of the hotel on the 5th floor and gave us a view of the sea, partial view of the pool area and down the onto the road. We did some good people watching of an evening. There is a fridge in the room which is great as you can get some drinks and snacks in from the nearby Spar shop. There can be some noise from the road and of course the train that runs by until late into the evening, but that never really bothered us. Food We had breakfast and dinner, and we found the food to be very good. Breakfast was 8:00-10:00 and is your typical continental with some bacon and other hot items thrown in. Dinner served at 19:30-20:30 was good, there was variation each day and all of it was tasty and well made. For the price we paid we thought it was a bit of a bargain. There is also a little bar where you can get water and alcoholic drinks that all seemed reasonably priced. During the day we went to various bars and restaurants around Malgrat which were not too badly priced and decent enough. Entertainment There was some form of entertainment in the bar area most nights but we only took those in a few times. Singers, flamenco guitar etc. it is tailored to adults and not kids so if you want kids entertainment you may not find this place to be for you. Clientele This place is very popular with the Dutch and Spanish it would seem. We spoke to a number of Dutch visitors who had come via various bus trips, and it was generally people of the older generation. They were all very lovely people and we liked their company, but it’s definitely an English minority at this hotel, which we did not mind at all. Things to do Here are some recommendations for things to do that we (or others) enjoyed. - Ride Tricu Tricu (Road Train): this is the little road train that runs right outside the hotel. It is less than 5 euros each for a return trip and we used it as a way to see Malgrat early on in our holiday. Pay close attention to the running times as we got caught out once and had to walk back as it stops for a siesta during the day! It does a figure of 8 so passes the hotel in two different directions. It has 3 stops to get off at. - Santa Susannah Tuesday Market: there are various markets in the town but we went to the Tuesday one. Take the train from the station at Malgrat for less than 3 euros each. The market is right outside the station. We grabbed some cocktails in a local bar and soaked up the atmosphere of the lovely little promenade area. - Aruba Bar: visit the bar on the beach front for some Sangria and a bite to eat. It is right on the beach, the staff are friendly and it’s a great spot to soak up the sun. The beach area is also really nice in Malgrat and offers a nice walk along it if you want to have a stroll. - Cafe Real: visit the Argentinian cafe real for some amazing cakes and drinks. We hopped on Tricu Tricu and got off at the little square with the beautiful monastery, but it is also easily walkable. It really is worth the trip for some tasty treats. - Visit Blanes: we didn’t get to visit here but it came recommended by other guests. It is an old style Spanish fishing town and again is easy to get to using the train from Malgrat. We will visit it when we return to this area (likely Santa Susannah) next year.
