Advantages: Very close to beach, shops & bars. Disadvantages: Could'nt keep the room on the day we were leaving (had a night flight)
Myself and family stayed at the El Greco apartments in October 2007. I was pleased to find that we had a sea view, the apartments were directly opposite the beach. The rooms were clean and satisfactory, although the decor was in need of updating. The rooms were cleaned everyday and fresh towels left. The staff were very friendly. There were two lifts, (when getting out of the lift there was around five steps to walk down so could be tricky for anyone with a pushchair or wheelchair). The pool was very nice with a snack bar serving good food at cheap prices. The childrens pool was closed due to work being done. There was a resturant but we didnt eat there. There were lots of bars to choose from. The commercial centre was around a 10 minute walk away with lots of cheap places to eat & lots of shops. We found Puerto Rico to be a great ...
Advantages: Creative decoration and some good dishes Disadvantages: I wouldn't squeeze 22 five-year old around the table they gave us
Da Greco came with quite a recommendation; our big boss had been twice and had apparently liked it very much. And he's Italian ? so the local guys figured it must be a good Italian restaurant if Marco liked it. So when the monthly business review meeting went to Barcelona, the locals booked Da Greco (well the results hadn't been great in January so thet thought they'd better give the boss his favourite restaurant!)
Finding It
We all hopped into taxis and headed into the city. Da Greco has a great location on the Passeig de Gracia (although their business card says Paseo de Gracia). From the outside I would never have guessed there was a restaurant behind the blanked out windows. For all we could see it could have been a shop, an office, or anything else inside. To say it's discrete and unassuming would be fair ? if you didn ...
Advantages: Food, hotel, people, staff friendly, right next to the beach Disadvantages: Smell from the toilets/chlorine sometimes
I would say this is probably the best holiday I went on, last year of 2006 in July time when the Spanish Fiesta was on.
Actionpacked holiday, right next to the beach with its own waterpark. Free entry to people in the El Greco hotel, and a slight walk up a hill to a market on a Sunday, and other shops with Internet Cafe's. Whilst I was there I saw a fantastic firework display, there was a rave night on the beach, and it was just mindblowing.
People were so friendly, the beach was literally 2 minutes walk down some steps. Pool was always crowded but there was always the waterpark. Rooms were comfortable (even though I got something stolen from there) however they did their best to sort it out. If you are facing the sea its magnificent views.
The food range was great, as I was vegetarian at the time. Always fresh food, people ...
