Hotel Rosamar Maritim

"So where to start... at the beginning: I arrive and I don't feel comfortable at all in this hotel, having hesitated we go for a hotel with a sea view and that is what you will clearly pay for because the rest is not great at all. Small reception area, pool on the top floor which is about 5m by 3m with a depth of about 80 cm, very small terrace between 2 rows of lounge chairs. Access to the floor, 1 elevator out of 2 working over the 4 days. The condition of the room: 30 cm hair discovered + others very small on the tile floor and by slightly turning the TV screen, there is an earring hanging on the cables. Lukewarm water in the morning at 11 a.m. I was able to visit the other hotels in the same chain: Rosamar SPA, Rosamar Garden, Rosamar es Blau, nothing like this one, it is the worst, Es Blau is the newest. The Garden has many water games, slides, and entertainment for children, the Spa has several small pools with a sea view. I was able to talk about the various issues with the hotel manager who heard me, but nothing was offered or done; I was the one who asked for permission to be able to access the other hotel to enjoy the pool on the last day. Regarding the restaurant, very average, the morning bread is average, the meals are average, and it is the most expensive of the 3 other hotels, 100 euros difference on average even though it is dilapidated. Regarding the sauna, gym, same thing, not attractive, the sauna shower leaks everywhere."

"Very good stay and service from all the hotel staff. We would like to highlight the service from the kitchen and dining room staff, and the energy and friendliness of Laura, who is in charge of the pool bar. The facilities need a renovation, but the views are beautiful. We hope to return soon and that the facilities will have been improved. Congratulations team!"

"Hotel Rosamar Maritim, Lloret de Mar We booked with Jet2 for 17th–23rd August, staying in Room 202 on a half-board basis. Our room had a sea view and balcony. We arrived at around 12 midday and, to our surprise, our room was already available. That’s a first for us, as usually you have to wait until after 2 p.m. for your room, so that was a good start! The hotel is situated on a very busy roundabout, but the traffic noise wasn’t an issue as the room was well soundproofed. Our room was on the second floor. Although it was very dated, it was clean. There were two separate areas – a bedroom and a kitchen/living area. The bedroom had a comfy double bed with two comfy pillows each, nice clean, crisp bed linen and ample storage space for clothes. As with most hotels, though, there weren’t enough coat hangers, so bring some extra ones if you need them. There was also a dressing table with drawers and a chair, bedside tables with lights and plug sockets either side, and a wall-mounted TV. The only English channel was BBC News. A free safe was also provided. The kitchen/living area had a large sofa, small table with two chairs, a sink and two electric rings. There were no cooking utensils, although I’m guessing these would be available if you booked self-catering. If you like a cuppa during the day, bring your own travel kettle and tea/coffee, although you can hire a kettle from reception for a small fee. The bathroom was a good size, with ample room for toiletries. The shower was over the bath and, although it was angled rather strangely on the wall, it was perfectly adequate and did the job. Toothbrushes and soap were supplied, along with shampoo and body wash attached to the wall in the shower. Towels were changed daily. The air conditioning wasn’t the best during the day, but at night it seemed much cooler, which enabled us to have a comfortable night’s sleep. The balcony had a table and two standard plastic chairs, with a lovely sea view. Food Breakfast was served from 8 a.m. until 10.15 a.m. and the evening meal from 7 p.m. until 9.45 p.m. Now, the food... As stated in many other reviews, unfortunately it wasn’t very warm. Knowing this beforehand, we made sure we were down first thing for both breakfast and the evening meal, hoping that the food would be warmer after just being cooked and that perhaps the previous reviews were from people arriving later, giving the food time to cool down. Sadly, this wasn’t the case. The food was just about warm enough to eat, but I do think this is an issue that should be addressed. If I’m honest, it did spoil our experience slightly. Breakfast consisted of the usual mix of English and Continental options. Let me say, though, the orange juice was amazing! The evening meal varied every night. There was always a meat option, pasta and chips, along with the usual cold meats, cheese, salad and bread. There was also a selection of desserts, including sponge cakes, yoghurts and ice cream. A bonus was the free drinking water. You could also order drinks from the bar and have them brought to your table. The dining area wasn’t particularly big, so I’m guessing that if you come down at a prime time, you might struggle to find a table. It always pays to be early! Location The hotel is in a great location, with plenty of places to eat nearby. You’re spoilt for choice, from typical local cuisine to Greek, Indian and Chinese restaurants – you name it, they’ve got it covered! There are also plenty of souvenir shops dotted in between. The beach, although very long, was absolutely rammed when we were there. The sea was quite choppy on a few occasions, and the waves certainly took your feet from underneath you! There are also a couple of nice scenic walks, although they are very hard on the legs as there are lots of steps to climb. There are two castles, one to the left and one to the right of the hotel. If you attempt these walks, wear sensible shoes, and if you’re not a fan of heights, you might want to give them a miss! Overall Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Rosamar Maritim. The room was clean, the location was excellent and the staff were friendly. The main downside for us was definitely the temperature of the food, which we feel needs addressing. Would we stay here again? Possibly, especially for the friendly staff and it's location, but the food temperature would definitely be something we would consider before booking."
