Great place to stay. Very convenient for beach and many restaurants and bars. Staff super friendly. hotel spotlessly clean. Nice pool area and plenty of sun beds. If I was being picky the only criticism I would have is that we got a voucher for a welcome drink. In all the other hotels on this trip we were offered a glass of caca so expectations were high! Turns out it is just orange juice with grenadine so manage your expectations! Overall thiugh a really terrific place to stay and would highly recommend it!

Great location, friendly staff
This hotel, is excellent, it is ideally located, close to a beautiful, beach, and many great restaurants. It is a great hotel, to travel, to Tarragona, or Sitges.
The staff, are really friendly, the rooms are excellent, and the pool, is excellent. There, is a choice of 3 restaurants in the hotel.
The buffet, breakfast, was really good also.

A lovely, friendly hotel. Superb location, 5 min walk to the beach and on the main square - but you weren’t aware of the noise at all.
The breakfast buffet had good options for gluten free diets as well as anything you could possibly fancy! My boys thought it was one of the highlights of the day.
The pool was family friendly - a little too many young children for us but it was so close the the beach that it wasn’t an issue. (And there was an adult only pool in the roof if you had certain rooms - unfortunately our tweenagers didn’t quite fit into either camp)
There were also activities and entertainments if you wanted to join in but it was subtle enough that they weren’t in your face.
We’d definitely go back and stay there. It was a lovely town with a good atmosphere. Very few English families and you should make a little effort to speak Catalan or Spanish.
The beach is beautiful, sandy and clean. The sea is warm but very wavy when we were there, my boys loved it!
At the other end of the beach here’s a Roman villa that is open to look around and has lots of information. Up the hill is the ‘old town’ that is definitly worth an explore as well - if the heat allows!
It was also really easy to get the train there from Barcelona airport. (Change at Barcelona-Sants then it’s just over an hour) and it was less than a 5 min walk to the station so we were able to discover lots of the local area. Tarragona is fantastic for Roman ruins!
We clearly enjoyed it!

Good but not great
Lovely hotel but failed to meet our expectations of a 4 star. 1 night might be ok but 4 was too many here.
Pros
- lovely coastal village with history
- large pool with sun-beds & lots of other outside seating
- large selection at breakfast & usually restocked
- pay to use rooftop over 18s pool with free water
- token for free juice at bar on arrival
- family friendly
- front desk staff helpful for organising taxis/trains etc
Cons
- No pool towels available any of the 4 days we asked
- No early check in
- No shampoo or conditioner or any extra amenities in room so along with decor it felt very basic like a 3 star hotel
- No coffee maker or kettle in room
- Asked for an iron & was given a broken one
- A lot of guests & very noisy! Rooms not sound proofed, with room doors banging at night & kids running & screaming around the pool & at breakfast.
- Don’t go to breakfast too late as no tables available inside by 9.45/10.
- Despite no other apparent covid restrictions booking required for gym & no gym slots were available our whole stay!
- Daily charge of €9 pp for premium level rooftop pool seems steep. We paid one day to use it & found a guy smoking & later a family brought in a young child - both not supposed to be allowed. Didn’t seem to be monitored & no toilets up there.
- Parking extra also.

Todo super bien. Pero el habitación tiene que tener más detalles. Era básica aunque limpio y cómodo. El vino tinto en el hotel no era suficiente opciones y no tenían muchos cócteles. Pero los tres restaurantes era bueno y también la cena de media pensión. Lamento que era lloviendo y no podía disfrutar las piscinas o solárium

Mycket nöjd!
Supertrevlig och informativ personal! Från första till sista mötet!
Stort och fräscht rum med balkong med utemöbler. Tyvärr blås o regn på ankomstkvällen och blås på avresedagen så tiden på balkongen blev kort.
Åt middag i deras hälso-restaurang där personalen var otroligt serviceminded och kunnig.
En stor frukostbuffé med färsk frukt, många sorters te och kaffe, varma rätter, våfflor och andra delikata bakverk.
Vi skulle självklart åka tillbaka om tillfälle ges.
Nu var vi endast på genomresa

Hier fühlt man sich wohl
Mir hat das Zimmer sehr gut gefallen - es war groß, sauber und modern. Das Bett war sehr bequem, kostenloser Save und Kühlschrank, modernes Bad, großer Balkon, gutes WLAN, zwei deutsche TV-Programme. Das Hotel hat unten einen schönen Pool und eine wunderschöne Dachterrasse mit einen kleinen Pool - die Aussicht ist traumhaften. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Dem Frühstücksraum fehlt leider etwas die Gemütlichkeit. Ich habe jederzeit einen kostenlosen Parkplatz in der Nähe des Hotels gefunden. Zu Fuß ist man in 3 Minuten am Meer. Das ganze Hotelpersonal war immer sehr freundlich.

Pool ist eher klein für die Anzahl Hotelzimmer. Baden im Pool ist erst ab 10.00 Uhr möglich, wenn der Bademeister anwesend ist. Das Essen ist mittelmässig, viele Speisen sind maximal lauwarm, teilweise auch kalt. Die Teigwaren schmecken nach nichts, sind total verkocht und dazu kalt. Das Buffet wiederholt sich. Wir würden keine Halbpension mehr buchen, denn an der Meerpromenade welche sehr klein ist, gibt es aber sehr herzige, kleine Restaurant mit einer schönen Auswahl an Speisen zu sehr vernünftigen Preisen. Das El Mercadet können wir bestens empfehlen. Im Hotel hat es viele Familien mit Kindern. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt ok, jedoch nach unserer Meinung die aktuelle Bewertung von 9 zu hoch eingestuft.

Otroligt härligt hotell med trevlig personal och fina rum med underbar utsikt. Poolområdet var trevligt. Enda minuset var att det var en rätt stökig frukost med mycket gäster och inte den trevligaste frukostpersonalen.

Hyrde ett stort familjerum. Även på lägsta fläktnivån var ljuden från ACn väldigt hög vid en av de tre sängarna, vilket gjorde det svårt att sova där. En av oss vuxna behövde göra det ändå medan tre fick ligga i den stora sängen. I övrigt mycket hjälpsam och trevlig personal och fin pool. Tyvärr lite dåligt utbud av restauranger i området.

Great stay at Altafulla Mar Hotel
We arrived late in the evening and were welcomed by friendly staff who handled the check-in smoothly and ensured we made it to the dinner after a long day of traveling. The general vibe was nice and relaxed and the pool area was great for playing in the water and even swimming. The gym room could use some improvement but it gets the job done. We really enjoyed the food served at the restaurants, especially on breakfast. As our checkout was very early in the morning, they even gave us takeaway breakfast bags to enjoy on the go and we left with smiles on our faces.
