“Disappointment - ufnriendly and not by the sea”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2007

people found this review helpful

Hello all - I am replying to these posts a bit late but hopefully what I say can be useful to others. I was extremely disappointed by this Thalacap resort - I felt a bit like I was being 'package holidayed,' that they charge a lot for what they offer and expect you to like it, like the hordes of others like it (or don't but just accept it).
The people at reception were unfriendly and unhelpful.
The hotel / resort is advertised as being on the sea (the photo showed a little beach in a cove, implying the hotel was there) but in fact it is nowhere near the shore, and in fact the sea is hardly accessible: the only way to actually get to the sea and swim was either to walk into the little town, or to cross a busy road, go through a private road, down a steep path and then you had a tiny little bit of beach.
Also, the hotel was noisy, the cleaners seemd to only be able to clean the rooms by scraping the beds across the floor early in the morning, consequently I was woken up early each morning, in the end i left and moved to a very friendly and less pretentious hotel next door.

“What a find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2006

A week in a thalassotherapy resort on my own what bliss but also some trepidation. I need not have worried everyone was fabulous. Changed my room as I did not have a sea view but after this no complaints apart from not liking the restaurant. I had booked in for HB as I was on my own. However I soon changed it to no food at all and there was no problem. The room itself was perfectly acceptable and kept beautifully clean.

The treatments were the best I have had and very different to the usual massages. The staff on the whole were extremely polite and helpful especially the reception staff.

Wish I had realised that it is essential to have a car for the week as when I wanted to hire one for a few days it was going to be outrageously expensive. Taxis are also expensive here about 10 Euros from the station which is roughly 2 km away from the hotel! Next time I would fly to Barcelona or Gerona or Perpignan and hire a car for the week. The walk into the town is down 128 steps which are very steep so it is fine to do it once or twice but twice a day is quite a lot! There are very good restaurants in the town.

All the guests were very friendly and I really did not feel as if I was on my own after a couple of days. The other thing which I found interesting was that there were so many repeat guests. By the way I do speak some french but am definitely not bi-lingual and there was quite a bit of English spoken as there were quite a few American guests.

Would I return - definitely
