Amazing location
the location is amazing and the main building and services most certainly 5*+ however, disappointing that there are a number of additional charges for parking etc. and you have to be a very special guest to sit on the front row by the sea, but they never seem to turn up.

No proper AC system in the rooms or in the lobby. staff is not helpful, facility is really not a five star hotel. No store inside the facility to buy anything, we have a little kid, we could not even buy milk. Lacking lot of amenities. We would never go back for this price.

Fantastic place for a restful break!
Don’t be deceived by initial impressions of the resort when driving in…. The Meridien RA is a beautiful oasis of calm on the Costa Dorada. This truly is an exceptional place, and the blend of old and new, sleek and eccentric made this a wonderful place for a restful break. We were really impressed with the cleanliness, staff, food and decor, and the only thing that could have been improved was a Nespresso machine in each room, and slightly less expensive prices at the beach club.

I travel a lot and am used to staying at luxury hotels but this hotel really was special ! I had a beach front room in the new block where the spa is and it was stunning ! Lovely products in the bathroom and super comfortable beds and sheets ! . Spa on roof was simply stunning with sea views and luxury sun beds with curtains gym was great and the beach wonderful it was also nearby lots of local restaurants and beach bars in walking distance ! We have already decided to go back next year
Wonderful beach to reserve front two beds however is 50 euros and if you go down by 10 am there are plenty of near beachfront beds for no cost
Beach barbecue was brilliant and food amazing

Wonderful stay and can’t wait to go back
We had a wonderful time at Le Meridien Ra beach. The beach is stunning and there is excellent service for food, drinks, and convenient and comfortable airport transfer to the hotel for a comparable cost as a taxi. We loved the spa and the bamboo deck where you can sit out and drink cava or tea before or after a treatment. The food is great and while more expensive than the surrounding area, it is convenient and tasty. Many restaurants are walking distance. It is easy to do a day trip to a Sitges by train if you want to experience a busier area. Highly recommend this hotel!

Very nice property. Room appointments were top notch. Access to the beach was excellent. Staff were very accommodating. We appreciated the free rental bikes which were perfect for touring the waterfront on the miles of oceanfront walking and bike pathways. Would recommend to anyone looking for beach front. Our room looked directly to the sea. Some rooms had terraces which I would request if returning.

Will return someday
The hotel was beautiful and we especially appreciated nice touches like complimentary cava upon arrival, morning massages on the beach, no charge for chairs on the beach, which was not the case in other places we've stayed on the Mediterranean coast. All the staff was fantastic: reception, the beach club, bar, restaurant, spa. The immediate area is not beautiful, but we found good restaurants anong the beach, and the beach was gorgeous.

Mediocre
First impression everything is excellent they greet you with glass of cava and explain you how great their hotel is and which services they include. BUT they do not tell you that all the drinks at greeting, everyday towel use and mini bar is charged extra €28 per day and €12.50 per day if you park your car. BUT they told me at the check in that I will only pay €12.50 in total for my car. Why to include hidden charges at the end and make your customers disappointed whereas you can include all together in the hotel charge. Also the beach is great but you cannot leave your towel and go for lunch. The guy who "looks after" the beach first will warn you not to leave the towels then will take away your towels. I did complain to reception twice but nothing happened. They will tell you that there is enough space for everyone if there is why should we leave our place and come back to another place? I have stayed Le Meridien before but this hotel does not deserve to be in the brand. Totally disappointed. I am sure the manager will reply that they will to their best to improve and bla bla but I would never return to this hotel and would not recommend anyone. Better find another hotel.

Hotel was great but the room was tired and needs upgrading. Cupboards were loose. Plug fittings pulled off the walls when pulling plugs out. Plus there was a total lack of plugs in the room. It was very difficult to wash and dry your hair. No plug - no mirror.

Great place close to Barcelona
Overall very satisfied. The hotel is in very good condition. The beach sand & water is nice & clean. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Eionas at the restaurant is the best, he was always hosting us with a cheerful smile & offering his hospitality. The alacarte resturant was at a high standard with professional staff. The room was cleaned twice a day but it should have a kettle with amneties for a 5 star hotel. We couldn't have a king bed, I would expect a 5 star hotel be able to swap beds. Parking at the hotel was at a high cost €23, luckily found free spots outside. There is not much to do in the area around the hotel. The hotel grounds are surrounded with residential buildings on either side. The spa is nice but the masseuse competence was way below expectation.

If you literally want to sit on the beach then this is the place. We found it a bit boring as there was NOTHING to do but sit on the beach and the neighbourhood was grim. The staff however were lovely and the hotel amenities were good. Paying for bikes seemed a little unnecessary.

Nice hotel for relaxation
I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is very clean and bright with lots of space and air. The room was very clean and modern, the food was delicious and the beach nearby was perfect for sunbathing and swimming. However this hotel requires some entertainment for its guests. I wasn't much impressed by the SPA zone - nothing really special. Still, I will definitely return back and recommend this hotel to my friends.

Wonderful relaxing break
Lovely hotel, very convenient for Barcelona airport (about 45 mins and 100 euros in a cab). All the staff were very friendly and helpful. My Spanish is very basic but all staff could speak English. Breakfast was an excellent buffet catering for all tastes. Beach right on the doorstep with a Beach Club that did good lunches and different themed dinner buffets. Tried some tapas in a few of the local restaurants with generally good results. Slight language problem as the waiters didn't speak much English, however we muddled through with menus in English and saying cerveza and vino tinto! Would definitely go back.

Exceptional service
What highlights this hotel is the attentiveness of the staff. Virtually everyone from concierge to waitresses are helpful and mindful of guest's needs. Therefore, this hotel's staff is what makes it closer to a 5-star hotel than anything else. The hotel's location is about 45 minutes away from Barcelona. Therefore, if you plan to be in Barcelona on business - plan to spend about an hour each way on the road. The hotel is situated on the beach, which is quite nice and useful during the summer period. There is also a pool that can be used to relax during the other seasons. The rooms are clean and have all of the necessities. Yet, the travelers frequent to 5-star hotels may not find the standard rooms as luxurious. However, the price of the hotel is fair, given the combination of amenities and offered services. Once again, the staff of the hotel is the true highlight.
