Antemare Hotel, Sitges

Advantages: Beautiful Personal Seaside town
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...I recently looked book a weekend away to Barcelona, but as i was looking i stumbled across the town of Sitges. Sitges is around 40km outside of Barcelona down the cost. The costal road to it is beautiful, you drive along the cliffs looking out over the blue sea, passing yacht and boat stations along the way. It was easy to drive into Barcelona as you only have to comprimise around 5 spanish roads. Once your their it's easy to park at Port Vell. I stayed for a long weekend and booked into the Hotel Antemare just on the beach. It's a reletively big 4* hotel which is about 50meters from the beach. The beach is sitges spans around 2miles.

Advantages: Great Pool
Disadvantages: Noisy

...I have just returned from staying at the hotel El Cid, This is now my 4 fourth visit so i feel i can express a valid review on the hotel. The hotel is at the lower priced hotel holiday stays in SItges, approx £1000 for a fortnight with B&B booked through an agent, you can do this holiday cheaper if you book indepdantly.

Disadvantages: Local drivers eat British cars for breakfast - so hire your car locally, we're glad we did.

...The picturesque town of Sitges is a resort of mixed moods. One moment you're relaxing on a tranquil sun-soaked beach soothed by foaming waves - five minutes later you could be enjoying a refreshing drink in a vibrant themed bar or club or tucking into a steak or more traditional fare in a sophisticated restaurant - at very unsophisticated prices. When you are strolling along the promenade, admiring the seascape and drooling over the menus outside the upmarket hotels and eating places, it is hard to believe that just around the corner are seemingly hundreds more bars, clubs and restaurants offering great quality produce, service and hospitality - and at very reasonable prices. Narrow streets radiating uphill from the beach are where you find these hospitable gems (en route to the main and very comprehensive shopping area). Most... Read review
