Htop Amaika 4Sup - Adults Only #HtopBliss

good things hotel near airport

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a short trip and had an all-inclusive booking. The reviews I read weren't all that informative about what exactly the hotel has to offer, or what is included in all-inclusive. The hotel itself is lovely and has a Titanic theme throughout the hotel. There is only one pool outdoors, a bar, and a restaurant. The Blue Bar Beach restaurant is in partnership with the hotel however, you don't get any discounts with it (even with all-inclusive). The hotel also has a spa, which is a private room with a jacuzzi and a sauna, which is booked in advance and free for one hour a day for all-inclusive. The beach is extremely close, and you can book the sunbeds in the morning that can be kept for the whole day, and can also rent out beach towels which can be replaced at any time. The hotel restaurant was pretty basic and honestly did not have much variety in what to eat. My boyfriend is vegetarian and he wasn't able to eat a full meal at any point, which was unfortunate, but there were a few food options outside the hotel instead. As for the people there, they were all a bit older, so if you're a couple in your 20s you will be the youngest couple there. However, we didn't mind that at all, and the hotel had great late-night activities that got everyone involved, and the drinks were strong enough for you to be able to get along with anyone. The rooms themselves were also amazing. From the photos other people had uploaded and ones I've seen online, I was a bit sceptical about what they were going to look like, but we had a lovely, spacious room with an amazing city and ocean view from the balcony. The staff were all very friendly and helpful whenever we had any queries. We had no issues with anything within the hotel, apart from the food, and would recommend going - but I don't think getting all-inclusive was all that necessary.

Clean hotel for adults only the hotel is poorly run by the management from observation not enough staff to run the restaurant and bar, for example with over 250 guests the restaurant staff of only 4 waiters they were running off their feet, when I enquired about the situation was told that they couldn't get staff to work there!! The bar staff were amazing working there socks off especially Alfonso Zusaana and Musta with only one beer tap they looked after the guests in the bar and around the pool area making sure that things like glasses were only plastic type out side the bar, here to they could do with extra staff. I think the working staff hold up the hotel!!! So owners pay them more and get more staff on the floor

I went to the Amaika Hotel with 5 other girls and we had a fab time, really love the hotel and calella itself, this was our 7th time at the hotel and were already looking at booking for next year, lovely friendly staff, plenty of good food and drinks

Spent four nights at this hotel, four nights wasn’t enough!! First impressions of the hotel were great!!! Staff were lovely, Zuzanna in the bar always greeted us with a smile, reception staff were attentive as were the guys in the restaurant. Food was buffet style and fresh foods regularly brought out, there is a cooking station where food of the day was cooked fresh in front of you. There was always something to eat even for the fussy - plenty of pasta and chips. Although we did opt to eat at the restaurant literally across the road one of the evenings, best steak and ribs ever!! (There is also a McDonald’s located literally opposite!) Room was clean and decor lovely. All toiletries needed were provided in the bathroom including combs and a mini sewing kit! However no kettle in the room (not a problem for us non brew drinkers) but machines located in the bar and restaurants for hot drinks! All inclusive drinks included cocktail of the day, Estrella on tap, glasses of Cava, local spirits and they don't go easy on the measures! Bottles of water are not included, however there is water on tap 🤷🏼‍♀️ (we didn’t use this) we received a small plastic bottle of water on arrival in our room and just bought a bottle from the local SPAR 0.75€ and decanted it into the little bottles. Packing/taking a reusable bottle could be an idea! The location of the hotel is great!!! Beach is literally at the end of the street!! Also, as you come out of the hotel turn left then left again and then take a right at the restaurant on the corner to where there’s a lovely street lined with shops and restaurants to browse at your own leisure. The train station is approx 15 min walk away with regular direct trains to Barcelona. We didn’t sample the night life out of the hotel but the frog night club is within staggering distance. The hotel entertainment was a lot of Spanish music and guests dancing (probably the spanish version of all songs at your typical british wedding night do) however we enjoyed watching the Spanish guests dancing and sitting out by the pool. The outdoor chairs can get a touch uncomfortable after a while mind you.! The pool space is rather small for such a large hotel, however the one day we chose to spend by the pool we managed to get sunbeds, it was noted that many people reserve them although this is advertised as not allowed. Sunbeds on the beach were plentiful at a cost of 7€ each from hotel reception or 8€ at the beach. There’s a bar/ restaurant on the beachfront however not included with all inclusive, there’s also a shop directly opposite the beach for a water etc. Dont focus on the negative reviews, the only tiny negative we had was the lack of sunbed space, but that can’t be helped. Overall we had a brilliant stay. We would certainly return to Hotel Amaika!!!
