Top Hotels in Santa Cristina d＇Aro with Spas

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Mas Tapiolas, and will almost certainly go again. There are many things about it that are very good, but some things which, if addressed, would make it excellent. The rooms are lovely, with a fabulous view - if you pay a little extra for one at the back overlooking the hills - and are comfortably furnished. The pillows are not good, though I am sure the hotel will provide different ones if you ask. The major drawback with the rooms is the lack of sound insulation which can be a serious problem if neighbouring guests are not considerate. Our first night’s sleep was non-existent - doors slamming; children running down corridors and then parents shouting at them; and some particularly hard-of-hearing guests who probably didn’t realise that the entire hotel could have heard their TV. The second night, by comparison, was blissful. No one in adjoining rooms or, at least, not noisy. The breakfast was outstanding on both mornings. Lots of choice; freshly prepared and good quality. Likewise, dinner was absolutely outstanding - we had the Châteaubriand which was melt in the mouth tender - but I simply don’t understand why the hotel doesn’t offer a much more reasonably priced alternative, especially at lunch time. I am sure more people would eat more regularly if they did. In this regard, nothing has changed since our previous visit when the menu did not change from one day to the next, so if you are staying for more than a few nights it would get pretty frustrating. The staff are generally very kind and helpful, though, as someone who stays in different hotels virtually every week, I can assure you that they have some of the noisiest cleaners ever …and there rarely seems to be a time when you don’t have to negotiate a cleaning trolley in the corridor. One of the best features of the hotel remains the spa. The facilities are good; the staff are delightful; and my wife assures me that Vanessa does one of the best facial massages that she has had anywhere. Mas Tapiolas is certainly worth a visit, especially during quiet weeks.
