Have just returned from a 10 day stay at The President today (13.8.09.) After searching through bad reveiw after bad review on hundreds of Costa Brava hotels I finally came across this hotel. By this time I was fast becoming put off from travelling to Costa Brava. However, this hotel (for 3 stars) was absolutely excellent. Rooms were fine, hot showers at any time of the day or night, Could not fault the cleanliness. Rooms cleaned every day, pool area cleaned daily, etc. We stayed full board and the food was fantastic. Plenty of variety for even the fussiest eater (of which I am one) Even our 12 year old found plenty to eat and we never heard a complaint once. Hotel had few English but that wasn't a problem. Lots of Spanish, French, German, Dutch guests but no problem. Entertainment at the hotel was not for us, waltzing and spanish duets, but we did have a great night on our last night where they had Krusto the clown and a compere on who got 5 guys up for a competition doing all kinds of daft stuff. We really enjoyed it. Calella itself was a bit quiet for us. (From what I can gather the place comes alive later on so sounds like a great place for the young ones.) Nothing much happening except sitting in a bar with music in the background which would be my only critisism. Travelled to Barcelona on the train, really easy to do, and went to the zoo. Expensive but a great day out. All in all I would say I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely go back to The President Hotel, just not sure I would go back to Calella.
