Family-friendly Hotels in Blanes

Arrived at 1am and had to do a 10 minute walk to Hotel Horitzo which we already knew about. We met a lovely receptionist that sorted out our keys, took our tax payment and did the E200 authorisation on the card. When we we back to the appartments the vending machine had barely any stock and every thing was shut. The sofa bed was not made up, so wearily we climbed into bed after making it. The matress was so thin that the bars from the sofa pushed through and I was in pain and barely slept. In the morning we awoke to a massive stench of drains, the spare pillows did not have pillow cases and there was BLOOD spatters on the curtains. I went back to reception to complain. Another lovely receptionist moved us up to the 8th floor, this time there was no smell, a clean apartment and a comfortable sofa bed. The manager popped in to see us which was a nice touch. I showed him the balcany as the glass divider was cracked and he already knew about it. I did some shopping and we settled in. But there was a big ***** of the kitchen unit missing, no hot water and only one bath towel. Also when I tried to plug the kettle in the base was all melted - really dangerous. Finally I discovered the hob did not work! Not great for self catering I went back to reception in the other hotel (there was no reception at all in the apartment block - just an empty office). They replaced the kettle, towel and fixed the water. But the did not fix the hob and had no spare apartments to move us to, and was very apologetic about it. I filled in the online survey asking for a free meal as I could not cook anything and I was ignored. The area where the apartment block is on the beach, near the caravan parks and is about 15-20 walk (all flat) into the main town. There is a very expensive little supermarket nearby and a bar. But lots of closed bars and restaurants, it was like a ghost town. It maybe because it was April and things werent open yet? The views from every apartment face the sea and they are spectacular. There is a little playground and a couple of nice restaurants about 5 minutes away. Although the staff were genuinely lovely, it was painful to keep trapsing down everytime I discovered a problem. I wouldnt return to these apartments, but may consider staying at the hotel puely based on how nice the staff were? Note: the E200 deposit was back in thr bank account the day after returning.

First the good stuff...... The room was great, clean with a great balcony for beach watching and view. The walk in shower was the best I have ever had, great water pressure from all 4 outlets overhead, horizontal top shoulders, hand washer and horizontal for the lower regions........ Staff all very helpful. Now for the bad bits....... Air conditioning was iffy but did work..... No extractor fan in the bathroom which you would think was necessary for a 4 star rating? Breakfasts were good large selection but if you are like me and like a good Irish breakfast you will be disappointed..... The toaster does not toast your bread no matter what settings you use so you end up with warm bread after putting it through 4 or 5 times....... then you go to get your breakfast.... the only plates are side plates 6 inch diameter and ice cold so by the time you get to eat your breakfast every thing is cold..... ridiculous.... try fitting an Irish breakfast on a side plate???? We had lunch only once in our weeks stay and it was very poor would not recommend.

Nous sommes venus pour deux nuit, la chambre était correct, la salle de bain aussi. Le petit déjeuné, quant à lui était super, il y avait tout ce qu’il faut, sucré, salé, machine à boisson chaude et boisson froide variés. Le personnel était très sympathique et accueillant, ils se démènent pour que leurs clients soit au maximum satisfait et ne manque de rien. Je recommande cet hôtel pour un petit séjour dans la ville de blanes, en famille ou entre amis ( en famille, l’idéal est de prendre des chambres séparés, elle sont quand même assez petite, nous étions trois cousines et c’était l’idéal ).

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable.

This hotel fulfills all of your requirements, warm bed, hot shower, breakfast is included. It's a great bang for your buck kind of place, especially if you're passing through. The staff is very nice and the rooms are very clean. However, I don't recommend it for a longer stay for several reasons. For one, there are no refrigerators in the room. This forces you to eat out for all your meals. The furniture itself is a little on the older side. The rooms are an OK size, I did wish they were a little bigger. There is no view of the ocean from anywhere (except maybe the rooftop but it was closed while I was there), no fault of their own, just an observation. Also, the rooms are not soundproof. You can hear your neighbors do all kinds of things and their crying children. Overall, at that affordable price and with the kind and accommodating staff, it is worth it.

We had booked this hotel for just one night… thankfully.. Hotel Esplendid is like stepping back to the 1970’s it is so dated and desperate for modernisation quite sad as you can see how Grand it would of been back in its day… Pool area is scruffy the grounds are unkempt and the life guard did not look up from his phone once in the 4 hrs we sat there at one point there were children splashing in the top pool and not once did he get up wander over to check them.. Rooms incredibly basic and the balcony rickety and felt unsafe during our one night there was also the waft of ******** we realised it was coming out through the air con system.. corridors unlit it gave you the feel of staying in a rather unpleasant hostal Breakfast in the ‘ canteen’ I wont use the word restaurant here was chaotic and very basic lots of cold meats/ cheese after much deliberation I opted for the stale croissants n jam.. yum … Just to note also this hotel is dry no alcohol served which isn’t a big issue for us as plenty of bars outside hotel but just to be aware .. This is an honest review of the hotel probably ok for 1 night whilst passing through but certainly not a holiday hotel unless on a very tight budget and willing to take a ride back to the 70’s ….
