Lovely family hotel. We took our three year old and found it great for children without being chaotic. The pools are small but never crowded, a children’s disco every evening with interactive dancing, mixtures of themes and performances etc. The children’s play room is generously sized with a variety of activities. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach/shops/restaurants/play areas/parks,etc. Our room was cleaned spotlessly every day, the cleaners were always friendly. There was a wide variety of food displayed for breakfast and dinner, the only fault being that the food was poorly labelled if labelled at all, so not clear for vegetarians/vegans or people with allergies. Other than that our stay was perfect and would return tomorrow if I could. :)

I would rate this hotel as 3 star based on a few relevant factors. We stayed full board and found the food to be repetitive and bland each evening to be honest. Cheap cuts of meat, god knows how many potato variations on offer? Even the soup was Potato. Lol I found the breakfast trays were not changed frequently, so often eggs, sausages Etc luke warm at best. On the plus side, I will say that my partner enjoyed the salad selection on offer most evenings. I also thought the desserts were quite nice on occasion The outdoor pool is very small, more of a garden pond. The indoor spa?? Has no gym, again a very small pool and the sauna and hammam were too cool to see any real benefit. Disappointing for me on the whole as the training facilities are important to me. The website pic's give the impression that this hotel is right on the beach. It is not although only a short walk away. The staff in the hotel are all friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff, bar staff all very pleasant.However, it is expensive. 30 Euros for a gin (double) and bailey's. 12 Euros for a 1 hour session at set times for the Spa (non inclusive) 57 Euros to extend the room for 6 hours on the final day Etc... I guess the endorsement that counts is would we return to the hotel bernat II and sadly for us the answer would be no.

This is not a 4 star Hotel, when we arrived our room was ready so they let us go on up the room was on the second floor the corridors are decorated In dark wood as are the floors which make them look very dated. The room had a small window and was painted a dark burgundy which made the room very dark, the paint was dirty furniture chipped and old, the balcony was small and overlooked every other balcony one queen size bed and a single bed that wasn’t needed if that was taken out of the room it would make it look bigger, I can’t agree with the other comments about cleanliness, beds were made and towels changed that was about it, the restaurant is like a free for all people pushing and shoving and leaning over you instead of politely saying excuse me, breakfast the usual ran out of fried eyes and omelettes and the chef that was cooking them was never in a hurry to cook some more so would be stood there waiting a while, unless they were freshly cooked all the food was warm at best, not much variety food wise and it was bland and boring. Desserts were 2 types of cake or a fruit pie, mousse or creme caramel I think as well as ice cream, the mist annoying thing is why is the fruit refrigerated apples, peaches, plums, grapes and kiwi should not be kept cold, they were to hard to eat, adult entertainment didn’t see any, reception staff were helpful. The beach is lovely and Calella itself is a beautiful place they have some really nice shops and cafes just beware of the beggars as they are very persistent they are nit homeless or hungry they are an organised group don’t be fooled. The other problem there are pigeons everywhere thousands of them if your caught feeding them you will be fined there are notices up warning you. All in all we were out and about Train to Barcelona €11 return standing room only on trains the journey is over an hour long and Barcelona has become very dirty, smelly and full of pickpockets and beggars. I personally found the locals very rude and ill mannered so this will be my last trip to Spain.
