The entrance to the hotel is stunning and what you would expect of a H10 - that familiar smell and those recognisable floor tiles. Surrounding the reception area is a mezzanine book ended with glass lifts and a marble spiral staircase to the centre. It gives ‘Towering Inferno’ style glamour. The receptionists are warm & welcoming and check in is an easy process. The rooms are smaller than expected but there is enough space for two people to move around - but not lounge. It is clean and modern with traditional tiling framing the roomy walk in shower. The outside balcony has two chairs and a table - again, small & compact. Tea making facilities are available but at request and additional cost. On first look, the pool seems small but it is actually larger than anticipated. It is the perfect temperature and makes for a delightful dip on hot days. The sun loungers are in excellent condition and there are plenty - no need to rush and dump your towels. The lifeguard keeps an eye and any sun loungers left for a longer period of time, have towels removed. Throughout the day there is a fantastic animación team full of enthusiasm and energy. It’s hard to not join in on the activities. A huge plus for this hotel is the access to free, chilled water throughout the day. The restaurant is adorned with stylish furnishings. Although it is small, there is always a good selection of food available at breakfast and dinner. There is a heavy emphasis on fruit & salad so if you are wanting a full fry up, you will be disappointed. The gentleman who is one of the restaurant managers, has charm & charisma and is a welcome greeting on an evening. There is always a selection of fresh meat & fish alongside pasta, salad & some delicious form of potato. So the downsides - This hotel is catered heavily for Spanish guests so bare this in mind. Although it is a stunning place and there are no complaints, it is lacking in what I would call ‘British expectations’ such as the lack of kettle in the room & dinner service (waiters not being able to give wine recommendations or pouring it for you). I also miss having a teapot at breakfast. The guests are mostly Spanish also which could leave you feeling slightly out of place. I would also say, although the pool area floor is clear of rubbish, due to the number of plants & trees, it can get quite messy through the day. All in all, I would happily return to this hotel and the beautiful area of Cambrils.
