알마드라바 파크 호텔(Almadraba Park Hotel)

In a magnificent place outside Roses, just by / at the beach, during our stay it was always clear that this is a family-owned hotel, not belonging to any chain. Owned by the same family for decades. The well-kept garden or the excellent breakfast show what I mean. Comfortable, kind service. Excellent value.

We went to see the hotel to see if this could be an option for next year. In spanish I explained we were visiting for this purpose We were answered in a rare unfriendly manner and were looked at the entire 15 minutes When my wife returned she mentioned she experienced the same Aside from the trea**ent only the location and the garden made a great impression Hotel feels old and trea**ent old fashioned Could be the form of the day, but I think in this business you especially should give your visitors a feeling of welcome For free we would not even want to stay Because for us it is about feeling pleasant and a guest

We have returned to this hotel nearly every year for more than a decade. It is truly exceptional: the location is superb being right on top of a beautiful beach. The facilities are also excellent - tennis, pools, other sports, as is the hotel restaurant. Moreover the staff are welcoming and efficient - it is really nice to see the same friendly faces each year - a mark of a well-run establishment. Looking forward to returning in 2024!

We booked a suite, unfortunately the suite that is shown on the website is not a true reflection on all the suites. 306 is the best suite with a large terrace, we were initially put in 307 with two tiny balconies and poor view, after declining we were shown various rooms, until they eventually put us in a suite we paid for 305 ( why this wasn’t done straight away), this has a adequate balcony and nice view. The suites has a lounge, it has all the allure of a doctors waiting room, in fact all the furnishing is well past it’s best. The lady on the reception who was there the night we arrived has no customer skills and appears to be unable to communicate or create a rapport with customers. On leaving we came down, explained we need to pay the bill, the words she muttered do you want to pay by card…. No good morning, no have you had a nice stay, have a safe journey. Apart from a couple of managers, the entire hotel is staff by very young seasonal staff, have little concept of customer service skills and is very hot and miss. We had a dog with us, you are charged a supplement and no water dish, dog treats are in the room, most hotels do. You can take the dog to breakfast ( which has a good selection) with you in the restaurant if you sit outside near the grass, which is perfectly acceptable, however in the evening the same restaurant and lay out is set for dinner, but you can’t take your dog, even thou you can still sit outside at the edge near the grass…..makes no sense. The big plus, is the grounds are lovely and extensive, you can access the beach and coves, a couple of restaurants are on the beach but generally close at 8pm. Roses centre is about 10 mins drive away and plenty to explore there. Hotel has parking behind locked gates, so safe. Overall the hotel has really nice location, level of staff is very hit and miss, dreadful receptionist and the rooms need a revamp especially the lounges to the suites..

Great weekend away from Barcelona. Hotel has quiet beach just away from main Roses beach. 3 separate restaurants. Included buffet breakfast very good. Staff speak English, Spanish, Catalan & French. Drove to trailhead past Portlligat & did 6 mile hike to Cap Creuces-very good .

Lovely hotel in fabulous position. The hotel is situated about 3miles outside Roses and the hotel shuttle service does not operate in May and local buses don’t start until June 1st so you have to either walk or get a taxi which cost €28 return. There is no table d’hote menu only a la carte which is very expensive.

Unbelievable views. Classy hotel twist of modern retro. Wonderful service and one of the best dinners we have had in Costa Brava! Highly recommended!!

A very good hotel with an extraordinary view across the bay of roses

This hotel is used by Great Rail Journeys but I think the hotel staff do not want to serve tour groups. The service was poor, the waiters/waitresses were at times rude and mostly unhelpful. Requests for additional items such as vegetables at meals were ignored. Even the mineral water was rationed! - one half glass per person. The breakfast was adequate but not nearly as good as other hotels we have stayed at in the Spanish islands. There are no disabled facilities at the hotel and many of the steps were worn and there were not enough handrails. The pool was very good of an equal depth throughout as was the small whirlpool but there were not always staff on hand to provide towels or drinks. The shuttle bus ran only twice a day with an 8 hour gap and it did not always turn up. Taxis were very expensive although there was a local bus which seemed to run regularly
