Hotel Reviews
Serras Barcelona
Barcelona

The staff was welcoming and helpful. They had amazing smiles. Everytime we went out, we were offered water bottles- a nice perk. The room was tiny, but the shower luxurious. Easy walking distance to everything. They didn't point out that the building housed Picasso's first studio!

Van ride to the winery; boat ride back. Winery was lovely. Lunch was some ham and bread with tomato... While it was tasty, it felt like a snack, not a meal. The boat ride back was rougher than expected. We had to hold on for dear life. (Was surprised putting on life jackets wasn't advised or offered). Two of the other guests were ill.

Our guide was delightful! We truly learned more about Catalon. The two tapas restaurants were both fun and delicious. The flamenco, which I wish I could rate separately, was disappointing. I expected gorgeous women in flamboyant red dresses and lively music. Instead, it was moaning men and two angry women stomping their feet.

This experience was perfect, starting with the market, actually preparing the feast, and the best of all, eating the feast!!!

Getting on the boat was a challenge, despite having the reservation number, they told us this was from a "fake website" and were simply unpleasant. Ultimately, they found our names on their list. Very frustrating and unnecessary rudeness. The boat itself was ok- a bit crowded. The fish were not particularly extraordinary. The beach was nice enough, but there was no where to escape the sun. No shade anywhere. Although the instructions said to bring money for drinks or food- there was no where to purchase anything. There is a restaurant there, but it was not yet open for the season. They said it opens in June.

The guide, while clearly bright, was not as upbeat or cheerful as one might expect. She also, sadly, had bad breath and kept standing so close that it was actually nauseating. :(
