Pierre & Vacances Estartit Playa

We stayed at the apar**ent complex the last week of August 2023 as a family of 5. The complex itself is very dated but in a great location only a short walk to the beach and there is a supermarket with a bakery just across. Street parking is hit or miss. When we stayed there lots of restaurants/little stores were closed. Not sure if permanently or because of the time of year. The complex had two pools with salty water and one pool had a slide. I saw people cleaning the pool twice per day but the accumulated sand on the floor was not removed. The complex provided sun beds and there were some shaded areas. But everything is dated and it shows. There was a small playground. My kids used without shoes on and they had pitch black feet afterwards. The apar**ent we stayed at had been renovated, but it was tiny with a micro kitchen that had a microwave and a dishwasher, stovetop and fridge. One large and one small pot and two frying pans. The coffee maker was great, a Philips that took nespresso capsules. The kitchen led into the dining and living area and out to a small balcony. The sleeper couch in the living room is not recommended to sleep on for the mattress is poor and if in use, there is zero space. The only AC unit was located in the living room. It was quiet but you had to use it to cool down the place needing to leave the bedroom doors open. The two bedrooms were big enough for the beds, the built in closets were very small. The mattresses on the beds were ok. The bathroom is super small and was hard to use assisting little kids showering and it was impossible to keep dry. A large person would not be able to comfortably use the bathroom. There is basically no storage space for toiletries. The towels provided were stained. You could ask for new towels and there were bins on each floor to drop dirty towels. The apar**ent walls are very thin and we heard the people above and next to us. Since the place is pet friendly we had dogs barking on our floor. I did not pay attention when we booked, had I known we would not have chosen the place as I do not enjoy listening to dogs barking when on vacation. The apar**ent was not particularly clean which is always an issue for me to be able to enjoy my holidays. The dishes and the cupboards were dirty and I had to clean them prior to use. The floors were dirty and the bathroom shower and floor were not clean. The fridge had a bad smell and I had to wipe it clean before I felt your comfortable to use it. The people on our floor kept leaving their trash and their dirty towels in the hallways and the dirt that they made was not cleaned up so the hallway was dirty. Because there is no storage you have to take your beach gear to the room which does not help with keeping the place clean. We stored everything on the balcony. The broom and mop provided were really old and dirty. And the storage cupboard has not been cleaned in a really long time. The staff working at the complex was extremely friend

I really liked the proximity of the excellent sandy beach to the hotel, as well as various bays and beautiful towns within a radius of 30 km. The hotel itself is very comfortable and well equipped. Restaurants and grocery stores are within walking distance. We want to come back there again next season

Very nice. Apar**ent air conditioned, full kitchen, big fridge with freezer, enough towels in bathroom…Patio with chairs, outside big pool, beach 100 meters away. Only two things, we missed cutting board in kitchen and front door of our apar**ent needs upgrade desperately. But that’s nothing. We really enjoyed and would come back if heading this direction

The property was modern and clean. The staff friendly and informative.
