The Montmar is a modest hotel located at one of the entrances to Rosas and near a supermarket. The clientele is mostly made up of young holidaymakers and families on a modest budget. However, it does offer good value for money and an effort has been made with the decor, which is unusual in this region, especially for establishments of this type.
Near one of the entrances to the city, the Montmar is located in its centre, near a supermarket. Allow 15 to 20 minutes to get to the beach on foot.
The hotel has 30 guest rooms that are among the cheapest and the most modern in the region. It should be noted that most of them date back to the 1970s and that their design is marked by the retro style of this period. In contrast to reception, the guest rooms are modern. Each is decorated differently in cheerful shades with contemporary design furniture and have a plasma television, a safe, and a Wi-Fi connection. All of the bathrooms have a bathtub and are relatively spacious. This is a simple 3 star hotel but it is much more modern and pleasant than most of the other 3 star hotels in the city. The decor in one room contains images of Nelson Mandela, while another has images of Paris and yet another of Jazz. We particularly appreciated this effort made to differentiate the decor.
The facilities are simple and limited to a bar and a restaurant located on the ground floor. The reception is not very big but the welcome is warm and friendly and the staff will ensure that you start off your holiday in a relaxed atmosphere. This hotel has the benefit of putting you in close proximity to shops and the sea, just a 15 minute walk away.
The restaurant's menu is simple but the food is of a good quality and the prices are very reasonable.
The hotel was renovated in 2000 but the owners try to make some improvements every year. Overall this is a quality establishment.
The Marina benefits from an ideal location next to the sea at the centre of Rosas. It receives a lot of returning French guests, and offers a whole range of high quality facilities, even though some parts of the establishment are a little old-fashioned and could do with a bit of renovating.
The Maritim is located next to the sea in the neighbourhood of Santa Margarita, which is about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Rosas. The beach is no more than a few metres away. The establishment is well worth its 3 star rating, thanks to its stylish decor and quality facilities.
The Mediterráneo Park 2 is in the same building as the Hotel Mediterráneo, but in a more exclusive area of the complex. The luxurious and spacious rooms have a stylish and refined decor.
This hotel is located on the seafront in the Santa Margarita neighbourhood and offers quality services but lacks character. The decor is completely neutral and creates a rather dreary atmosphere; nevertheless, the many bay windows make the hotel a pleasant place to stay.
The Mediterráneo belongs to the 'Mediterráneo Park' complex but the rooms it offers are more basic. It actually stands opposite the Mediterráneo Park, but its guests can enjoy the complex's facilities, which include the swimming pool, the spa, the bar and the restaurant. The rooms are better suited to an older clientele or those travelling on a tight budget.
The Rosamar hotel is a perfectly charming two-star establishment. Located on the outskirts of Santa Margarita, it offers a range of high-quality services coupled with a warm and friendly welcome, making it a great destination for those who value such characteristics.
If you are looking for a quiet hotel near the sea with a nice pool, this is the place for you. However, if you are not a fan of 1970s decor you'd be better to choose another hotel because this one is particularly kitsch. Apart from the decor, it offers good services and above all, the pool is very large.
The Prestige Victoria hotel is a relatively big establishment with 208 guest rooms and many facilities, all in a pleasant setting. Located by the sea at Santa Margarita, it enjoys a prime location but is quite far from the centre of Rosas, which is a 20-minute walk away.
The Vistabella is a real little jewel of the luxury hotel industry and is certainly worthy of its 5 star rating. Built on a cliff-face overlooking the sea, the hotel offers not only a truly stunning setting but also excellent service, a professional welcome, and cuisine that is to die for! This little hotel has plenty of nice surprises in store, and since each guest room is unique, you're sure to want to come back again and again to try a different one!
The Almadraba Park Hotel was the one that most seduced us in Rosas. Located on a promontory overlooking the Almadraba cove and the Bay of Rosas, it benefits from an exceptional location and offers a wide range of services that make it deserving of its 4 stars. Run by the same family for several decades now, the hotel has conserved a family atmosphere but has also managed to evolve with its clientele.
This is a three star hotel, located in one of the nicest areas in Rosas: Canyelles Beach, a sandy creek, situated at one end of the bay. The hotel displays contemporary design, and provides services worthy of a four star hotel. Many guests are regulars, and so the manager prefers to surprise them with services that more than meet their expectations. This place is one of the very few we liked in Rosas.
With its direct proximity to the beach, in the middle of the bay of Rosas, the Terraza Hotel is a genuine institution in this city. Opened in 1935 by the grandfather of the current owner, the hotel has been able to continuously adapt to the needs/wants of its guests for more than 75 years. With 70% of the guest rooms affording a direct view of the sea, this establishment offers an ideal setting for a peaceful holiday and for discovering the ways of the Catalan.
The Maritim is located next to the sea in the neighbourhood of Santa Margarita, which is about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Rosas. The beach is no more than a few metres away. The establishment is well worth its 3 star rating, thanks to its stylish decor and quality facilities.
