Hi there, since the 10.15.09 I have been back from the Catalonia Royal. My impressions: The grounds are really beautiful, very clean and perfect for those seeking peace. I can compare the comparison between the two areas in June this year, as I have stayed in the normal Catalonia. It is like any other hotel positive and negative to say, wants to go to my opinion tell you. The service was the food and the drinks were brought you stay at the Royal is certainly better off, everything is an exclusive and also the quality a bit better than the normalo area. You are almost round the clock waiter service which isn't the case in the normal area. The sea I agree with my many other ratings, is also the most negative point for me. And it is almost impossible to swim in the sea, very shallow, am 1.90 meters large maximum up to the belly button gin at that water. Yes it is everywhere very was a lot of seaweed in the water and on the beach, but daily fixed. Clear it is nature and none liability at the situation, but for me and many on place it was very sad. The biggest criticism from my there's about the safety at the Royal. You certainly already read here that us $100 stolen from the safe. It was so that no traces to see in the safe. We reported the incident and there was a security guard in/out privileges, had the room as well as the safe Other bonuses, whatever reason. Then we are working with the husband and a lady from the front desk in our room (4002 ) and the safe was open from us and designed by the husband everything in safe searched, purses and so on to see if the lack of money where different. Then we were told that it can be possible that the safe was opened by someone who, as we only the pin, too, made laugh still in the room, since each know how easy it is, if you want to open the safe without problems. We were almost a liar laid out, and all liability, hotel pushed together. We also saw our money not stay, and no one was more then attended to the problem. We the incident other German site geschildet and be warned, and some have informed us that they can also have heard and this not a unique. We were offered through the hotel, that they wanted to give us a taxi to the police station, and we will pay a show have done that we didn't want us during the last days to address it. In addition to the subject of security: our room key card sometimes not. Before we went to the front desk we cleaning lady, security or whom they can ask if you stay in the hotel also BBQs, everyone told us the room opened straight away without asking if it will be our room. Just want to describe how easy it is at the Royal quasi in each room, we have to get the 3x tested every staff does a key for all rooms and opens the to anyone. Something else rather annoying. Maid service every day at least 3 times to the room. The last time daily between 22 and 23 hours at the beach towels to be delivered to our room, whether prior to the door as the do not disturb sign hanging. We happened upon the room with the chain locked from the inside. That was really annoying since constantly knocking at night or the room. These problems we had in June this year at the Catalonia Bavaro did not have that. Finally my conclusion: The hotel is really beautiful and if these Vulnerabilities were it not We definitely recommend it, because it is missing nothing was, except for the fact that the sea is not the greatest. Look forward to a totally relaxing holiday and erhölt because there is hardly a better place. I like to ask if there are goldtrails reply. Greetings Chef1976
