Hi Glenis.
I've just come back from Catalonian Coast, and posted my review this morning, although I am still waiting for it to be moderated.
The hotel is great, somewhat built up round it, but the staff are all really friendly, the food is good, and the place is spotlessly clean. I would recommend taking your own toiletries though, but the hairdryer is very good. You do have a small fridge in your room which you can use free of charge for storing water etc. No tea/coffee making facilities. If you feel that you need to use the room safe you will have to pay for it.
The trips I managed to do were all good. Montserrat on the first full day is a dream place. I just hope that you get better weather than we did for there. Girona also comes highly recommended but do take sensible footwear as some of the walking areas are a bit rough. The Coastline trip is also nice, Tossa del Mar is lovely with some great eating places.
I am happy to answer any more questions you may have.
