Best hotel in Gava

This hotel has everything - a large pool, a spa, a rooftop pool, and lots of loungers to relax and enjoy the beach and the sea. Restaurant excellent if a little pricey for some options. Rooms a good size for a couple for a few days.

Great stay in Gava!

We wanted to be somewhat close to the Barcelona airport since we were flying out the next day. The property is a beautiful, contemporary beach front hotel for adults only. The reception staff and restaurant staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We most definitely recommend Playa Grande by Tropical.

Lovely resort away from the hustle and bustle

Beautiful boutique hotel with everything you need! The entire property is stunning from beginning to end. The aroma that greets you in the lobby and the beautiful design through out the resort stimulates all your senses. Just what we were hoping to finish off our girl trip before returning home.

This hotel is fabulous, despite no children in main pool it was a great 2 night stay. Very modern & sophisticated. Rooms were amazing with a double shower. Best fir couples rather than friends sharing as the shower screen is completely transparent and toilet Door just glazed so little privacy ! Breakfast fantastic tho expensive. Not much to do around the hotel but a wonderful short hop from the airport and v chilled beach club vibe. Jol in breakfast area v helpful as were the re toon staff.

Stuck up staff for an average party hotel

Nice looking hotel but the staff are pretty lackluster in their attention to customers. The room was basic and there was no hot water in the shower. It was intentionally warm but not hot. There was no blankets only sheets for the bed for a cold night sleeping. The lighting was terrible in the bathroom and there was one tiny sink. The food was decent but didn’t blow us away. Had to drive to anything else for food. Nothing within walk distance.

This property was amazing. Great staff. 30 min away from Barcelona by taxi. So if you are just planning for a relaxing vacation this is really good. But if you wanna explore the city this is probably not the place. Food was great but a bit expensive. Clean beach , great view. We took a room with the pool on the upper lever. Due to the drought, they said we coudnt use it, same issues with other people who booked the room with pool,they should've mentioned that in their website because we had to pay extra just because of that pool. they should have given us a voucher for an appetizer or drinks or something but nope. Thats the only thing that bothered us. But otherwise great stay.

Paid for a pool suite and the pool was drained due to drought and no money refunded still charged fees upon check out! Then reserve a 21 and over resort to have a child’s birthday party with nothing but kids running in and out all day and night long… what a horrible last 2 days to the stay on top of no pool and roof deck pool also closed complete fraud and should have been compensated for this. The hotel also overworking there staff and is a shame because the girls were very nice and didn’t deserve that.

Unfair extra charges

We visited Barcelona from Texas and decided to stay in 3 different hotels in 3 nights. Partnered with my retired father, our first hotel was the Playa Grande. I would not recommend this place unless you are going with your gf or mistress. As you can see from one of the photos, the shower is smack in the middle of the room with no curtains and no privacy. It is like a giant display case. Couldnt use the beach because there was no place to shower. No curtains. Sauna doesnt appear to be working and couldnt find the light for the gym. Entree in the restaurant is about $35 Anyways me and dad, booked a "double room" and it turns out that it means the room has a full size bed. As I did not want to be in the same bed as dad, I asked to switch to single beds. They did not have that but offered a makeshift mini-cot as compromise. It was a very simple frame with 3 square cushions. My tailbone poked thru two of the cushions while I slept making it really uncomfortable. To make a long story short, during check out they charged me an extra $70 for the use of the cot. No price was mentioned before and $70 was really steep for the usage of something that cheap and uncomfortable. I have stayed in about 8 hotels per year for the last 10 years and I have never experienced this. We went back and forth with the hotel staff and got nowhere. Apparently when they say "double room" they actually mean full sized mattress and not double occupancy. Will not stay here again.
