Tarragona Marina

Rien à dire tout était super ! Je recommande vivement

First of all, it's more of a motel than a hotel. There are no common areas, it's just an apartment turned into a motel by squeezing in lots of tiny rooms. My room, for one, was really small. It did have a private bathroom, which was nice, but only separated by a sliding door. There was also barely room for me to sit down there. For reference I'm a bit tall, being 1,86m. The shower was also really cramped. probably a little less than 0,5meters each direction - and the water control was mounted in shoulder height, leading to me turning the entire shower off every time i tried to turn around in there. Also the bed was too short - a first for me. I had to choose between sleeping with bent knees, or having my feet hanging out from the edge of the bed. The hotel is also very loud. not soundproof in the slightest. you hear it loud and clear every time someone is at reception, a door opens or closes and so on. the final nail in the coffin is that the ceiling lamp is mounted directly behind the ceiling fan, leading to a epileptic rave effect of you turn both on at the same time. i ended up using my bathroom lamp most of the time. they have also managed to set up a wifi solution that cant remember you, so at least once a day you have to sign in again. few of the people at reception understood English well or at all - it might depend on when you're there. they did however offer to keep my luggage for me after checkout, which was nice. overall i would not recommend.

Staying at Hostal de la Gavina is an incomparable experience. The hotel is old, but fashionable and very well maintained. In the hotel building there is classic art in abundance. The big garden is spacious and very well kept. The outdoor pool is big and from the pool area there is a nice western view and to the attractive beach Santa Pol.
