TOP Amaika Hotel, Calella

Advantages: Good Value short break
Disadvantages: Had to come home too soon!!

..."next door noise" could be heard through the walls.I spoke to the two guys over the terrace railing next morning about this,and it turned out they were from a couple of miles up the road from where we live!

.... Through the main doors and down a few steps leads you to the Hotel's swimming pools, one large one, with shallow and deep end approx 6ft deep and a small shallow pool for the tots, there is two outside jacuzzi's and toilets with shower facility's. There is a poolside Bar, tv area and pooltable, and a large patio area with ample seating, and poolside sunbeds, all included in the hotel price. This area is cleaned daily and is spotless. Directly opposite the hotel there is a restaurant run by an elderly Spanish Gent and his two daughters.They serve excellant top quality food, at a very reasonable price eg: large English Breakfast with English bacon,sausage,beans,eggs and toast aprrox $5.00 Euro or £2.50 this includes tea/coffee etc. Superb Roast Chicken dinners as well as massive steaks. this establishment also has an internet cafe...
