Best Maritim

"Absolutely amazing from start to finish... Warm and friendly staff, rooms lovely and cleaned every day.... Great food (the variety each day was superb, there was so much to choose from) Amazing location... Entertainment wasn't bad, something for everyone....We will definitely be returning...."

"Good hotel for all the family. Pool good, easy access to the beach. We had B&B, good breakfast, freshly cooked omelette was my favourite. Plenty of choice. Room clean, good shower, balcony ok for two. We went out in the evenings to local restaurants and in Cambrils and Salou. All very good, Cambrils especially. Bus access right on the doorstep, buy a multi trip card all easy and not expensive. Overall great for the whole family."

"We stayed in Best Meritim with our 8-year-old child on a full-board basis. Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. Cons: * The bathroom door is basically a roller-style sliding door, leaving around a 2 cm gap around the edges. There is almost no sound or smell insulation at all. On top of that, the bathroom itself had a noticeable sewage smell. * The room was extremely small, and the walls felt paper-thin. You could clearly hear people in the neighbouring room, including very private bathroom noises. * There was often an unpleasant smell coming from the street. The surrounding area also felt dirty, with rubbish and urine smells, and there was regularly a homeless person near the Auchan. * The sofa bed in the room was in very poor condition. There was a hole near the headboard area, the base was uneven and distorted, and it was uncomfortable to sleep on even for a child. * The pool area was a constant struggle. Many umbrellas were damaged, and there seemed to be at least three times fewer umbrellas than sun loungers. Even the loungers themselves were not enough. People started reserving them very early in the morning, and umbrellas were sometimes taken from other guests because there simply were not enough. *No shared mattress is available, it’s just 2 single beds. Even cheapest hotel could merge 2 single beds into 2 big, but not the Best Meritim * The dishes in the restaurant were often dirty on both sides. Several times I picked up a plate and my hand got dirty with mayonnaise or leftover food from someone else’s meal. This happened repeatedly, not just once. * During heavy rain, the hotel had serious flooding issues. Dinner was delayed, parts of the buffet area were wet, there were puddles on the floor, and water was dripping from the ceiling, in some places directly near the food. The electricity also kept cutting out. What surprised us most was that there was no apology or gesture from the hotel. Even offering guests complimentary soft drinks would have helped ease the situation. Instead, part of the dining area was closed and guests were let in gradually while staff carefully checked the full-board lists, creating an additional queue in an already chaotic situation. * The coffee was consistently poor, both in the buffet restaurant and at the bar. It tasted unpleasantly sour. * The food itself was average and often repetitive. It was also quite obvious that leftovers were reused in later dishes; for example, meat from dinner would appear in soup the next day. Seafood options were very limited. * Never book a taxi through the hotel. We were quoted €240 for three people to the airport. In our opinion, this was completely unreasonable. * There is very little to do either inside the hotel or in the immediate surroundings. Pros: * The location is convenient. * Housekeeping was good, and the room was cleaned properly. * The animation programme may be enjoyable if you speak Spanish, but otherwise it is very difficult to participate and you can feel excluded. Overall, we would not return to this hotel and, based on this experience, we would not choose this hotel chain again. It is obviously that owner do not invest into hotel, it’s just a cash cow."
