Htop Pineda Palace #HtopBliss

Rooms very tiny for a family, worse than a Travelodge. Food limited for dinner but a little more at breakfast. Staff not very friendly or interested in helping to provide support on dietary requirements.

Great location.Had a Seaview room.Ideal for the station only 12e return to Barcelona and 5e to Girona.The food in here was good plenty of choice and very tasty.The staff were amazing they couldn't do enough for you.Dont listen to the bad reviews some people expect to much.

I booked a weekend away with the girls to Hotel htop Pineda Palace & SPA in Spain for 3nights 4 days, From the night we arrived at the hotel it was all lovely the staff was very friendly and easy to approach, the food was hit or miss and they had a lot of various options, drinks was priced well, entertainment was fun to watch. I would highly recommend this please, beach is literally across the way and prefect. Shops are local, train Stainton two minutes up the road, so we went and spent the day I'm Barcelona, ( be very carefully at the train station in Barcelona as they are very good pick pockets two girls stole my purse ) as I was putting my phone in my bag so when I came back into the hotel the manager was so lovely told me what will happen let police know I was comming booked me a taxi and all of this when he really dint have to I honestly couldn't thank him enough for what was a stressful time the manage made it feel so much ease. I will definitely be back to this hotel again it's truly lovely high 5* from me

We stayed here for 1 week. The location within the resort is great, right across from the beach, with the train station, shops and cafes all within minutes walk away. The thing we loved about this hotel is the super friendly staff, with the exception of the restaurant manager, who was always surly, everyone was great, smiling and chatty. Our room was nice, with plenty of space and it was cleaned well daily. The public areas were also always clean and tidy. We liked the rooftop pool and terrace, using it every evening after 9pm when it was adults only. The views both over to the sea and over to the mountains were beautiful and we found it a very peaceful place to relax at night. For those wanting a more lively evening there was daily entertainment downstairs on the terrace, including a mini disco for the children. The thing that stopped this hotel from being 4 star for us was the food and the poor all inclusive package. The buffet offerings were hit and miss, some of the themed nights, such as the Chinese and Mexican were good, but a couple of nights we struggled to find something we really liked. We found the dessert offerings and breakfast cakes/ pastries quite cheap quality. The burgers and hotdogs which were available every meal were also the very basic, cheap types. We chose to eat out the last couple of evenings. The all inclusive option we were sold was also misleading. Only 1 cocktail option per night was offered, all other cocktails had supplements to be paid. Slush drinks for children were not included and only very cheap tasting unbranded ice cream tubs or ice pops were free. Better ice creams and snacks were available but again had to be paid for. None of this is made clear before booking and several other families at the resort we chatted to felt cheated as we did. The bar was open till 1am, but all inclusive ended at 11pm. The all inclusive guests were a bit like second class citizens, paying guests had coffee freshly made by staff at bar, served with a chocolate on side, all inclusive had to self serve from a machine, ( no chocolate) which was turned off at 11pm and not turned back on until 10am. We noticed the paying guests also had their alcoholic drinks presented nicely while the free cocktails and drinks had no embellishments.

* Towels are included (just incase you are only taking hand luggage and stressing what you need to pack- towels can be left at home) * Staff were fabulous, couldn’t fault any of them. * Room was clean, someone came in to remake the beds daily. * Lots to choose from re buffett, food changed each night too so there was some variety. * Drinks were reasonably priced, can be strong if you don’t normally drink- get an extra lemonade/coke to balance the strength out. * Beach just across the road which was very handy. * Even if your not swimming, highly recommend some drinks on the rooftop in the evening. * There are loads of shops, cafes and restaurants to the left and right of the hotel. Places to buy gifts, clothes, pharmacy etc. * Room check out was 10am, our transfer was 6pm, they have a room where you can store your bags, you are welcomed to still use the facilities- toilets, bar, seating areas etc while you wait. We have had a really lovely stay, we will definitely come back and I’d love to bring my children too. Loads of parks for the children to use. For those of you who geocache- there are loads in the area! Additionally we required support after one of our purses was taken on the train in Barcelona- hotel management were really helpful, they really took time to check we were okay, contact the police and organise a taxi. Even checking in after they had clocked off to check all was okay. The police were helpful and there was a translator available to us at the police station. We genuinely felt cared about and helped. I strongly suggest if you require help just ask at the front desk. Couldn’t recommend higher. Well done to the team - Thank you

Great location for both the beach and local restaurants. Just a few meters from the train station which takes you straight to Barcelona (incredibly inexpensively!). Roof top pool at the hotel is small, but good for sun-bathing. Rooms a decent size and comfortable. Good value for money.
