Sweet Hotel Els Arenals

We loved Hotel Baru and I've already recommended it to some people on a Barcelona travel site! Very comfortable with the view of the Mediterranean that I had requested! The breakfast buffet was fabulous, lots of variety and excellent coffee! It was nice having a good restaurant as there weren't a lot of restaurants in the area and then there was a religious holiday so many of the restaurants were closed. Most important of all was the proximity to the beach!!!! Nice walking/running path. Boardwalk to the very quiet beach with a lifeguard. Locals and vacationers were there. The turquoise water was soft and the waves were gentle. The beach had about 5 feet of rocks but once you were in the water it was beautiful sand. I highly recommend.

I did not like that the only option for meals was the buffet for breakfast and dinner.

An easy to find hotel, just off the motorway. Our room was large with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom. Check in was quick and easy. There is a pool, but we didn’t use it, but lots of sunbeds around for use. Also just a short walk to the beach. Our room was in the third floor - there is a lift - and was very quiet. Nice to have a reasonable size balcony with umbrella as well. There is a courtyard bar and restaurant, and the food was great. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Lovely property for very good value. Staff is very friendly and accommodating to tourists.

The pool and many lounging areas were great. Loved the quiet location. Very clean. Room was spacious and we loved the private deck. Great breakfast and staff were friendly.
