Stayed for two weeks at the Maritim with my partner in June 2008.
I was a little disappointed with the food which was always a combination of chips, salad and whatever they could mix up.
There were a couple of good nights of entertainment involving flamenca and disco but several nights with no entertainment at all which is not good considering the price we paid.
The rooms were ok, but there was no fridge to hand so it meant buying drinks constantly.
Pool and jacuzzi was nice indoor and out.
Overall a standard hotel with need for great improvement.

The hotel was very clean. Pools OK but a little small. The indoor pool was handy when the weather wasn't too good. Other facilities were also good . Breakfast was excellent with a choice of cereals, English, continental, breads fruit, yoghurts etc. We tried lunch one day, which was OK but a bit limited in choice. The biggest drawback were the evening meals. Although generally OK, particularly given the price, it would have been better to let one dish become empty before topping it up. Paella with rice from 4 different top ups wasn't particularly enjoyable. Helping yourself to as much as you wanted was good with a hungry teenager in the party. Also, drinks with lunch or dinner were extra - to be expected with beer or wine, but a bit of a surprise if you just wanted a glass of water - the water dispenser available at breakfast is turned off for other meals.

Staff in the dining room were helpful and friendly. This varied a little more with the staff on reception. Using the occasional Spanish, or better still Catalan phrases was always appreciated.

The hotel was well situated, just across the road from the beach and the main shopping streets are only a couple of minutes walk. The railway station is about 10 - 15 minutes away. Rail travel is cheap, clean and reliable. Overall I think the hotel offered very good value for money, although I would go B&B next time.

just spent a four day break here. The hotel is spotless, room cleaned to a very high standard. Worth paying the extra for a sea view. The roof terrace is fantastic 2 hot tubs and plenty of loungers. Food - plenty to choose from. Staff always friendly and helpful. Plenty of shops. No too far from train station, journery to Barcelona 6 euro 40 return. Would go back.

We wanted a cheap bank holiday break and were delighted with this hotel. Getting a sea view is a worthwhile extra as it is wonderful and better than staring at other less-looked after hotels.

The roof terrace is a great way to soak up the sun and views while the pool downstairs offers another secluded area, with the beach only metres away.

Also getting full-board is really cheap considering there was lots of food to choose from and it was all pretty good.

The guest are mainly German, French and Spanish although there were a few English (mainly sunburnt with England tops), so its a good get-away.

If you are staying longer than a few days then its worth taking the train to other resorts or Barcelona, it runs beside the beach and is very efficient, clean and cheap.
