    The room and bathroom were basic and require modernising.

    Location was very good with easy access to beach and shops / restaurants. . Staff very welcoming and helpful. Food was good, plentiful and good variety. Good outdoor space with plenty of seating areas, nice pool and attractive setting. We would stay here again.

    A dangerous slippery slope towards rude and impolite families that are taking control of the Hotel

    Our experience has been worse than last year - no Birthday message in the room like last year (customer loyalty?), no effort to give us a quiet room. The worst aspect is the obvious target of the Hotel and the absolute lack of effort to make the experience enjoyable for all types of guests. The Hotel obviously needs refurbishment, but if a bit of decency and rules were applied, then you wouldn't be disturbed by the other guests. The rooms have many defects and damaged elements, and that's because the trend is for the Hotel to welcome numerous families with lots of children and zero rules - so you will hear children running around the Hotel and in the corridors at 6 in the morning or until 1AM in the night - there are lots of rude guests, shouting like they were alone at home and slamming everything from doors, to windows and with a heavy walk that reverbarates across the structure because it's all reinforced concrete. While you would have otherwise a great experience, the lack of possibility for a nice rest and a good sleep in your room, makes the whole experience worse. I want also to mention what other said in other review and I can confirm - while last year the swimming pool was opening at 9AM, this year it was open already from 8AM and lots of guests are using the Hotel's towels to occupy the sunbeds, sometimes for hours without even showing up - I took pictures on purpose so you can see the nice practice. The "socorrista" (life guard) is just a young guy who is too shy to tell the guests anything to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone. All in all, there needs to be more control by the Hotel staff to ensure all the guests have a nice experience without the limitations imposed by other rude guests or the Hotel will suffer more and more damages and the overall rating will go down... if it goes down this road, I am not sure I will be able to visit again, and that's a pity.

    The location is one of the best you can find. The proximity to the beach within its own "caleta", the swimming pool and the restaurant make it a quite precious and unforgettable experience. They also fixed the elevators, that was one of the points I mentioned last year.

    The food in the restaurant could improve, though it felt the staff was working hard and doing efforts . The restaurant closes at 14:30 at lunch.. Would be nice if they put a hanger on the terrace (for the wet towels.) Ann

    We found it easily and as we arrived at 14:00 there was available parking at the hotel (or around it) and the check-in went smoothly. The receptionists were very nice and helpful, with a good vibe between them and good manners. All of them understood many languages and were patient too. The staff at the night bar were cheerful and attentive, (though busy with many orders), yet still functioned gracefully and patiently. The staff at the restaurant were fast and kind , and allthough very busy throughout all day, still let us eat 30 minutes over th the closing time the The art in the hotel is absolutely fantastic! You are greeted inside with a beautiful carved olive tree, an abstract insane statue ! The place feels authentically designed for families , old-school style, with beautiful paintings along the hallways everywhere. The paintings are also enforced with high resolution prints of photos from Costa brava beaches.. which later on you explore nearby. And other cool stuff. It feels like a really nice art gallery hotel, with a wide and spiral stairway. I thought the architect of this building designed it to make you flow directly into the sea :)) or pool with great view!! Even the floor tiles were esthetic in a very nice way. Classic hotel It felt like the hotel had a lot of experience, yet well maintained throughout time, and managed. The room was basic, yet spacious and with an AMAZING view of the beach from the terrace and sofabed! beautiful picture of Costa Brava in the room. pleasant lighting. ( bath area was nice too) mattresses were comfortable and clean . Best of all, key to the great experience is the seamless connection with the beach.. and, obviously the gravel-pebble Beach itself, that has "magic fun stone-sand" that doesn't stick to your body and leaves you clean.. real real treat!!! The route connecting all the nearby cove beaches is great!! Nature and old architecture combined. It's great for 1 night!

    The bedrooms are very basic. For the price, they could be better furnished. There are also no amenities in the room whatsoever. No tea or coffee, either. The bathroom is old, and the lavatory drain was blocked. The bath has a flimsy curtain rod and curtain. The towels are okay.

    An older hotel, but well kept. Very clean throughout, including the bedrooms. The pool area and beach access are great. Amazing view out to the sea. The sound of the waves was very relaxing and a constant. Outside the hotel is everything you need in terms of restaurants, bars, and shopping.

    However there are also a couple negatives: I’ve been to the hotel as a kid (10+ years ago) and barely any renovations have been done. The hotel looks the same as back then and a lot of things are quite old. The safe and for some reason the fridge cost extra to use. The restaurant is also very full and loud but thats normal in a hotel of this size. Since the hotel is not cheap I would expect the management to do some renovations sooner or later. If you stay at this hotel try to get a room with sea view. It’s only a little more expensive but it’s definitely worth it since the view and location is one of the best things about the hotel

    The location of the hotel and the direct access to the beach is awesome. Since we booked a superior room for a couple euros more the view of the room was amazing and the bed was huge. The staff was very friendly. Food was good.

    It shouldnt be allowed for guests to put their towels on the sunbeds while they are eating. Because in that way all the beds often was occupied without being used. The elevators need service. A little refridgerator inn the room would have been nice.

    The cost of parking is abusive, in my opinion. There was no kettle in the room and no fridge. However, we asked for one of each they were provided, albeit under payment of a deposit ( which was returned at the end of stay).

    The location and facilities are fantastic. The pool and sea combo with snorkelling options as well as long sand beach nearby is just fantastic. The town is amazing, too. The staff are endlessly helpful. I would come back, for sure!the staff at the bar were great and the food, very good, too. Lovely memories created.

    On the flip side, it's important to note a couple of drawbacks. The hotel lacked provided towels for the pool and beach, necessitating an additional rental fee. Moreover, the need to rent beach chairs and the requirement to rent safes were additional expenses that impacted the overall convenience and cost of the stay.

    Being a four-star hotel, the Htop Caleta Palace is certainly impressed with its spacious rooms, captivating scenic views, and delightful range of dining options.

    I felt the parking was a little over priced.

    The hotel is in an excellent location overlooking a small very pretty cove surrounded by pines. It had very attractive gardens and swimming pool leading down onto the beach. The restaurant overlooks the sea and you could eat out on the terrace. The room was bright and airy. There was plenty of parking in secure grounds. From the front of the hotel it was a very short stroll to the main shopping street where there were lots of restaurants .
