Hotel Rosa Nàutica

We were pleasantly surprised at how lovely this hotel was. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was small but nicely furnished and styled. Shower in bathroom was great.Small fridge in the room. Food was good but by the end of the week we were fed up with it because there was little variation day to day. We stayed half board. On the down side the balcony looked right into hotel and rooms of next door hotel. The bathroom was good but there were stains on ceiling and wall were bugs had been squished and not cleaned. Plus the plumbing really stank at certain times of the day and night. We had to catch our transfer coach at 8 am and there wasn't even a cup of tea on offer for us let alone breakfast before we left which I thought was a bit mean. Also it was €25 nonrefundable for the safe in room plus a refundable €10 deposit. I thought this was very expensive. Pool area was a bit tired but serviceable and the loungers could have done with a clean. Malgrat de Mar has a beautiful old town with lots of gorgeous buildings. Lovely little park with green parakeets in the trees. Lots of wildlife from butterflies to lizards and birds which my daughter loved. Check out the tower for the views down over the town. You get a lift up to it! Train station within walking distance for day trips to Barcelona etc. Beach just across the road from hotel. We really enjoyed our week here and would return even with the minor gripes about the hotel.
