Hotel Esplai

As this was meant to be myself and my wife's honeymoon, I can say this was the worst holiday I have ever been on! On our first night after arriving at 5am, we were greeted to the sight of the hotel with empty glasses, plates, beer cans and half eaten food up the steps to... more

The transfer to and from the airport was very unsatisfactory with only the driver, whose ability to speak English was very limited. The Esplai hotel Calella is more than 600m from the beach not 300m as advertised, we were advised "good for a family holiday" but it was full... more

DO NOT COME TO THIS HOTEL if you are over thirty or looking for a quiet relaxing break. We arrived for a long weekend break at 11 o'clock at night to be greeted by hordes of youngsters, mostly from Germany, swarming over every part of the entrance. The stairs up to the... more

Well what can I say, if you want a holiday with drunken 17 year old Germans, this is the hotel for you. Ok we paid a bargain price for an all inclusive holiday, but when your driven out of the hotel, by the drunken behaviour of louts, it’s a bit of a waste really. ... more

We have been back for a week now and we have said about booking to go back in the near future. Excellent hotel, friendly staff (and most of them do speak English, if they find it hard to understand the English then they will get another member of staff straight away so you... more

Before we begin we would like to mention that this hotel is so good we have been 3 times in the last 4 years. The hotel is excellent, it is pleasant and attractive! The rooms are very spacious and clean, with maids visiting every morning to give them a good clean. The pool... more

Having just returned from this hotel a few hours ago, I feel I need to share some information to anyone wishing to take a trip to this hotel. It is exceptionally clean and all rooms appeared to have been refurbished, as well as the reception area and dining room. We were... more
