Entertainment

On arrival at the Royal Sun Hotel we were greeted by two very helpful members of staff who sorted out our all inclusive id cards and room key.

Our room was situated on the sixth floor of the hotel which overlooked the resort of Santa Susana and the train track but this did not put us off at all. (Santa Susana looked clean by day and bustling at nighht). The room was lovely and clean with fully operational air conditioning and a working mini bar which we used as a fridge for our water bottles (which came in very handy for our missions on the trains and by foot)

On our first visit to the restaurant for breakfast we were greeted by an excellent selection of food and drink. It may not be four star but compared to a 3 star in Ibiza last year we couldn't complain at all. You name it, everything was on offer from your cereal to fresh fruit, full English to croissants and a continental selection including ham, cheeses, rolls etc.

The beach outside the hotel was nice, (sand / shingle) and provided a great spot to top up your tan and drink yourself silly as it was close enough to keep popping to the bar and get your hands on a brain busting Sangria! You might have to queue instead of the waiters serving you at the tables but at least it gives you a bit of exercise to fit more in!

The sea was cold but also very refreshing! It was very deep so families with little ones would have to be observant. Great if you like riding on big waves - forget the water park, dive in here!

Our first night at the hotel gave us a taste of the entertainment on offer which is the only thing we thought was pants! But, don't despair for those of you who like a bit of a walk after stuffing your faces full of food and drink, venture into Malgrat De Mar to the H Top Planamar. (20 minutes walk). Here you can use your id cards and drink what you want whilst watching good entertainment! We saw a group of flamenco dancers on the first night which were brilliant!

We asked the staff behind the royal Sun Hotel reception for a full list of the H Top hotels we could visit and use our cards. This made our holiday more enjoyable as we made it our mission to try at least six of them! You could book in to the hotels for lunch and tea and have your drinks in any of them. We recommend the H Top Hotel Amaika for lunch / dinner, the food was fantastic! Also, have a swim in the pool at Pineda Palace, it's on the eight floor overlooking the beach!

One of the best things we enjoyed about our holiday was a trip to Barcelona on the train. For six euros each this gave us a return journey to Barcelona from Santa Susana (a 10 minute walk from the hotel). Classical music played for the hour journey into Barca which was fantastic as the journey took us along the Costa Brave coast line. For 17 euros each we then ventured on the Bus Touristic which enabled us to go on all three coloures routes to see the wonderful sights of the city, wow what a place, we fell in love with it! (I think my boyfriend enjoyed new camp the best!)

Overall a top holiday and for £275 for all inclusive we thought it was a great bargain too!

Nice one H Top Royal Sun!
