Just returned from this hotel today 4 Feb after a AI 3 night break. Hotel is in a residential area of Calella. Hotel rooms are large with two double beds. But dividing walls are paper thin, e person i the next room only needs to break wind you would here it.
The food selection was poor but edible, nice to be able to have a bottle of wine with your meal.
The entertainment was very bad the So called disco consisted of 50,s and 60,s music with Spanish folk music for most of the night.
Two of the older barstaff seemed to have forgot how to smile or acknowledge you when you spoke to them.
Went to Barcelona on the train cost 8 euro return, fantastic survice.

Beware if you're booking at the Amaika before March 2012..It's CLOSED.
Booking Agents will still take your dosh though,then send you an appologetic e-mail telling you're being to the Calella Palace,a similar 4star Hotel near by.
Had you booked the Palace in the first place you'd have saved yourself £27:08 on a 7nights All Inclusive deal.
Should you point out this small detail to the Booking Agent you'll be told that they have had to pay an extra £76 to re-locate you to the Palace and therefore can't refund you the difference?Mmmm??
It's NOT your fault they're advertising the Amaika as being open for buisness.
Don't be fobbed off!!! Get your refund, or if you're on the A/Inc. deal get an upgrade to Gold A/Inc.

.Just back from calella palace we were all inc. The room had maid service every day was bright spacous and clean with 2 double beds. The food was buffet and there was a vegie option each day at lunch and teatime but sometimes it had cheese on it which my partner didnt eat .There was hot chips ,fish, pork, beef and pasta most days to choose from aswell as a good salad selection . Breakfast was the usual cereal, fried or boiled egg bacon , beans , sausage etc . A bottle of wine was included at lunch and tea if required . There was an indoor heated pool , sauna and gym

My partner and I stayed here from 23rd December 2011 until 27th December. The hotel was clean in all areas including the bedrooms. The food was average, we were glad we were only half board as this give us the chance to eat at some of the local restaurants.We found that there were not enough tables for the amount of people wanting to eat. We often asked couples to join our table as people were standing around looking like spare parts , and it was embarrasing for everyone!!. Our worse part of our stay was when we arrived, we had a problem with the key fob to get into the room. As I waited outside our room in the corridor for my partner to walk back to reception and change the key, all I could hear was the tv blaring out. It was the same once in the room. We thought it was someone elderly with an hearing problem so we didnt bother as it was day time. After the evening meal I caught a glimpse of the neighbours and realised they were younger than us. We were rudely awakened at 4.15am the following morning by their tv being turned on rather loudly. After knocking on the wall and not being heard, we rang down to reception (not expecting anything to happen!) To our joy they sent someone up to their room and after knocking on their door for 5 mins eventually managed to get them to hear and they turned off the tv straight away. Unfortunatley this happen during the day a couple of times and again on the last night where I got up and knocked on their door and asked them to be quiet!! It wasn't just their fault, like other reviews say, the walls were paper thin. So much so we could hear the other side neighbours going to the loo at various times of the day and the night!! We would not use this hotel again, for the reasons stated, which could be rectified with insulation between the walls!!. Calella though at christmas is fantastic, enjoyed more proberly due to the mild weather and watching hundreds of people on christmas day running into the sea!!!
