Hotel berhampiran Cala del Senyor Ramon di Santa Cristina d＇Aro

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Mas Tapiolas, and will almost certainly go again. There are many things about it that are very good, but some things which, if addressed, would make it excellent. The rooms are lovely, with a fabulous view - if you pay a little extra for one at the back overlooking the hills - and are comfortably furnished. The pillows are not good, though I am sure the hotel will provide different ones if you ask. The major drawback with the rooms is the lack of sound insulation which can be a serious problem if neighbouring guests are not considerate. Our first night’s sleep was non-existent - doors slamming; children running down corridors and then parents shouting at them; and some particularly hard-of-hearing guests who probably didn’t realise that the entire hotel could have heard their TV. The second night, by comparison, was blissful. No one in adjoining rooms or, at least, not noisy. The breakfast was outstanding on both mornings. Lots of choice; freshly prepared and good quality. Likewise, dinner was absolutely outstanding - we had the Châteaubriand which was melt in the mouth tender - but I simply don’t understand why the hotel doesn’t offer a much more reasonably priced alternative, especially at lunch time. I am sure more people would eat more regularly if they did. In this regard, nothing has changed since our previous visit when the menu did not change from one day to the next, so if you are staying for more than a few nights it would get pretty frustrating. The staff are generally very kind and helpful, though, as someone who stays in different hotels virtually every week, I can assure you that they have some of the noisiest cleaners ever …and there rarely seems to be a time when you don’t have to negotiate a cleaning trolley in the corridor. One of the best features of the hotel remains the spa. The facilities are good; the staff are delightful; and my wife assures me that Vanessa does one of the best facial massages that she has had anywhere. Mas Tapiolas is certainly worth a visit, especially during quiet weeks.

Excellent hôtel, très bon emplacement en plein centre ville, et pourtant c'est vraiment très calme à l'intérieur. Le personnel est très professionnel et extremement gentil. L'hôtel est tout neuf, la chambre est joliment agencé avec de très beau materiaux. Le petit déjeuner est de très bonne qualité. Je recommande cet hôtel qui est un vrai 4 étoiles.

We arrived at the hotel to be told we couldn't check in for 4 hours, not a problem went out sightseeing. Once we came to checking in we were allocated 7th floor rooms even though I had asked for ground floor due to person in our group having disability and not able to walk the stairs, staff were great and quickly resolved the issue offering a first floor double room which was even better. The rooms were large and clean, they even had extra blankets incase you got cold. The showers were hot and powerful. We booked fullboard and this was a let down, there was lots of choice but the food was cold and it didn't matter if you went as soon as restaurant opened or later still the same cold food. Whilst we were there it rained all day so we booked the private jacuzzi, all excited and enter the room which was warm, however the jacuzzi was like doing the ice bucket challenge it was that cold. I did ask reception if it was meant to be freezing and was told it should be mediocre. Overall can't complain, the location was great for us. I wouldn't book full board again

The hotel is situated along the beach front and in a great location for bars, restaurants. Our bedroom whilst bijou appeared freshly painted and clean, the shower/toilet likewise. And the bed was exceptionally comfortable. There was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. There was a reasonable selection of food choices for breakfast, sufficient for our needs. Breakfast was completely self service, choose your table, grab your placemat napkin, cutlery etc. Noone removed any used dishes from the tables, at least during the time we were there. Whilst the pool was clean, there were no cushions on any of the chairs or beds in the adults only area and the jacuzzi had some sort of algae/ larvae all over it. Maybe because it is early in the season, there was no poolside bar, just a drinks machine that was out of order. There was noone at the bar to obtain a coffee from and its advisable to book lunch and/or dinner as we were turned away twice. Staff were polite and helpful when you could find them. Gated Parking was free if you booked direct with the hotel, situated approx 400 metres away. .

We spend 4 nights as a family of 5 in this hotel. Overall inside of the hotel was very clean, outside however there were rats running around all day and the staff didn’t seem to care when we alerted them. More interested that my son didn’t have a T-shirt on. They were running around the pool area and pool bar which by the way was never open during our stay. Maybe due to the rat infestation as this appeared to be where they were coming from. The food was acceptable despite it being stone cold every meal and only the French were catered for. The snack bar was terrible, not open the hours it should be. I large bowl of crisps barely covered by some cling film, some fruit and two of the days there was the odd dried up, weird smelling sandwich. Entertainment was ok- again all catered for French & Spanish which wouldn’t bother us generally but the children were excluded. Even making water polo English vs Spanish/ French. In my opinion the hotel is more of a two star rating.

I’ll start by saying that I’m writing this review whilst still holidaying. We came as a family- a mother, 2 daughters (in 30’s) and 19 month grandchild. We’re all inclusive and we are not picky at all. When reading other reviews of hotels we typically roll our eyes and say ‘you can’t please everyone’ or ‘it’s what you make of it’ so please trust me when I explain this hotel. I’ll start with the positives- the setting is beautiful- pool is overlooking the sea. The food is nice enough, there’s always something to eat, mainly pizza, pasta, chips and salad. (Salad bar is lush) Breakfast is our favourite meal. (There’s cereal, continental, pastries, pancakes, fruit, yoghurt, bacons and eggs etc.) We found the beds comfy for all you only get one pillow, it’s decent. Martin, a waiter, FANTASTIC with the little one. Such a lovely man. He always greets us with a ‘hello love’. Meal times aren’t too bad either- Breakfast 8-10am Lunch 1-2:30pm and Dinner 7-10pm Thinks that’s about it really. It’s centrally located, we attempted to go for an evening meal twice. Everywhere is closed on a Tuesday (and some on Monday too) then places don’t open until 8pm, so with a little one, it’s no good. The hotel. Buckle in! There is a park when you first arrive, which is a death trap. There are little tree stumps sticking up, no bark or sand down, the steps up to the slides have huge gaps in them and the swing is on a wonk- it’s completely unusable. The beach- it’s not sand, it’s shingle, so sharp underfoot. The staff- the most rudest people we have ever met. It’s very much catered towards the French. When ordering a drink in the evening, I was at the bar, the waitress completely ignored me and served a paying Frenchman, after him, she served her colleague doing table service, couldn’t help myself at this point and I said ‘HOLA?!’ She looked at me in utter disgust and continued to serve her colleague. In Spain, you expect (rightly or wrongly) that the majority of people will speak English, basic, enough to get by, but not a word is spoken. I was heavily relying on my Spanish GCSE to get by. (2 male receptionists speak English and that’s it) I naturally really try abroad to understand the basics of their language but have always found English is widely spoken. It describes the hotel as family friendly- it’s not. There is a tiny pool which is full of leaves from the trees above- not well kept at all. The tiles on the floor are not the correct ones- it’s VERY slippy when wet. The pool is FREEZING. They have built in pool steps but no hand rail. No lifeguard either. We had a pushchair- getting down the ramp, it’s practically vertical with some grips missing. If you’re a wheelchair user, you wouldn’t be able to go down alone. Everything is on -1 floor, so a lot of steps involved. The lifts- there are 3 of them- lethal! They close when you’re getting in them, not allowing time at all, and the sensor must be knackered because they don’t open again. We found that

Hotel very nice, clean with a lovely pool and staff very helpful and friendly, lovely hotel in a lovely place. Breakfast has lots of choice and a good standard. Grounds and the whole hotel very well kept. Only stayed for one night but would be more than happy to use the hotel again for a longer stay.
