Three-pearl Alegria Espanya sits along the oceanside road in Calella's old town, just a few minutes' walk from both the beach and popular pedestrianized shopping streets. The hotel is much larger than it looks, with a buffet restaurant, a separate cafe with courtyard seating, and a pleasant rooftop terrace with a pool, whirlpool, and fantastic sea views. The 80 rooms are spacious and feature air-conditioning, and most have a balcony. However, some are looking a bit tired. Golden Rooms are worth the extra cash for their superb sea views from private terraces. It's a laid-back family-run hotel, so travelers looking for a livelier vibe could check out the nearby GHT Hotel Maritim. It has entertainment and a kids' club, plus a more stylized finish to the rooms.

H Top Amaika is an all-inclusive resort with a central location a block from the beach. The stately lobby and restaurant wow at first sight, but rooms -- while spacious and bright -- are underwhelming for a purported luxury property, with dated decor and basic amenities. The hotel features a small pool, a kids’ club with daily activities, and a fitness center complete with a whirlpool and a sauna. Additionally, guests get free access to all other sister properties in the area. But pesky fees for parking and Wi-Fi, uninspired food, and lacking room maintenance are all major letdowns.

One of the three H TOP all-inclusives in the area, H TOP Calella Palace is a mid-range hotel with low rates and clean, bright rooms; some have balconies offering scenic views.

The hotel offers half-board, full-board, and all-inclusive options, and guests get free access to the other two sister properties in the area.

Hotel Kaktus Playa is a three-pearl hotel in Calella, located a two-minute walk from Garbi Beach. Facilities are excellent: a large outdoor pool and whirlpool, fitness center, and spa are on-site pluses and there's also an off-site beach club. An international buffet restaurant scores high marks from previous guests. All 249 rooms come with Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and balconies, though some are looking less fresh than others. Additionally, Wi-Fi, safes, and mini-fridges aren't always free, and there are charges for using spa and beach facilities with certain bookings as well. Families with children who want features like a kids' club might consider the nearby H Top Amaika Hotel, but the outdoor pool isn't as big and it doesn't have an indoor pool like the Kaktus Playa.

Bon Repos is an all-inclusive budget hotel located a short walk from the beach. Rooms are a tad dated but clean and adequate, with tube TVs (some have small flat-screen TVs), furnished terraces, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning. With just a free-form pool, a buffet restaurant, a kids’ club, and a couple of bars, the hotel is light on amenities for an all-inclusive. Plus, guests complain of repetitive, mediocre food, and thin walls. However, it’s a decent pick for beach-goers and families on a budget.
