I Went To Callella On The 16th Of August To The 30th & We Travelled With Ferris. The Hotel Its Self Is Clean && The People Are Friendly. The Food However Wasnt As Good, The snack Bar By The Pool Was Lovely & Thats All Me & My Family Lived Off. The Meals Wernt So Good. It Was Always Fish Or Pork & Never Anythink For My Little Sister & Breakfast Was To Early ( 8-10 ). The Pool Was a Good Size But Really Cold Water. The Outside Jicuzzi Was Lovely & Warm But The Inside One Was Dirty & Cold. The Entertainment Was, Well You Had To Go Out Every Night Because Of It. Ive Been To Callela 3 Times Not & Stayed At The Palace, The President & The Esplai & The Esplai Was The Worst One.

14 of us aged around 18 with two adults went to Hotel Esplai in the August of 2005. Being a first timer to the hotel accomanied by friends that had been going to the hotel for years i was suprised at how much we had payed to stay in a 3or4* hotel. This soon came apparent. The Hotel is Awesome. The only downsides being the food, we were half board with all inclusive drinks. The food i found nice, especially the man doing the steak, but some days things were unacceptable like fish head soup!! WHAT???!
I think we would have prefered just a plate of chips each night, but saying that holiday food is never up to standard unless its in britain, it seems forigners dont understand the concept of potatoes and things like bacon and sausages that we brits are oh so fond of. The snack bar served us well though and McDonals i am ashamed to say is only a few seconds down the road. It seems everything is just down the road to hotel esplai the beach especially is nice and the waves are great fun.
The internet cafe accross the road is cheap for those like i that cannot keep away.
The bars i would recommend like so many others is the beach boys also the white horse is a good bar. The white horse also does full english breakfasts and chicken nuggets and normal things for those who are prepared to pay for meals.
I found the bar staff acceptable, not too moody, even only talking in english i didnt get a drink that wasnt what i asked for and i found them ok to talk to also. Don't know what other people are complaining about.
We were told off for firing our BB-Guns off the balconies and had them confiscated, so anyone talking about the night staff not being fair i think thats more than fair.
Recently went with the same people to a 5* hotel in Greece and found it wasnt the same as calella and so will definatly be going back to the 3* Luxury of the Esplai this year!

Me and my family have been going in this hotel for 8 years now and we think it is 1 of the best hotels in Calella. We always have a nice time at this hotel and we love going to the resort Calella cant wait to go back in 2007!.

As echo`d in previous reviews of this hotel, The food was terrible (yes pork every night, yes often cold!!) We discoverd the reason for this was the hot plates we not working at the time we got there. all though apparently the hotel Owner David "Is looking for a long term solution to the problem of cold food?!" Meanwhile People continued to fall ill with what we began to call esplai belly...But if you could drag yourself out of your room (you had no choice with the maids coming into your room everymorning with the lack of do not disturb signs!)also the PAPER thin walls - because the plaster has cracked off and been painted over so many times that all that remains are walls that you could hear eveything through..and i mean everything going on in rooms around you, snoring,walking,coughing and full conversations as if you were in the room with them!! You could go down to the pool and be served a selection of watered down, poorly made drinks by some of the most miserable bar staff i have ever encounted in a hotel. Namely "Moustachio" being your one to look out for, even when you spoke in spanish to the man he pretends not to understand you and gets you the wrong drink! Entertainment was ok a selection the usual Spanish Flamenco/Karaoke/Disco...Our last words on the Esplai...Dont Bother!

The Room: Mouldy, damaged walls (including hole in the ceiling above shower where you could see daylight), unclean and generally shabby! Dirty, ripped towels provided.
Entertainment: not really in existence and had to fight through smog of tobacco smoke to get to it anyway!
Food: Served uncooked meat(usually pork) nightly, huge queues, repetitive choices when there were some, moody staff, stale bread - generally terrible and not worth paying for!
Pool: Very crowded and territorial and very overlooked by large high rise buildings.
Resort: If you enjoy the feel of a dirty, ugly, sprawling, high-rise town with magnificent views of other hotels then this resort is for you!

This hotel has put me off for life going abroad couldn't wait to come home. Went 17/706 till 25/7/06food poor entertainment terrible, had to pay for drinks with our dinner that although we had our drinks all in our price that we paid. Last 2 days no air conditioning and no hot water. The people behind the bar very miserable. They made us feel we didnt want to go up to bar, it was awful and all the partys going on all night, nobody done nothing about it. I'm feeling mad about the whole thing as I wont be taking my kids until next year what a waste of money. Plz anyone who's thinking of going, think again. Karen

Stayed at the Esplai 3-10 Sep. Had a nice time, the hotel was very clean and all the staff very nice. The entertainment was poor, but the staff did try. Food was poor - would recommend bread and ice-cream fruit. The pool was nice when you could get a seat. Would go back if the entertainment and food improve.

Stayed at the Esplai from 10 - 24th Sep. all inclusive. Found the staff to be a bit reserved at first. Bear in mind the amount of pissed idiots who go here to get as much free stuff as they can. You'd be a bit reserved. After a few days of getting to know the staff they got to recognise us. Had a good laugh. Rick and D tried their best with entertainment but to no avail. Disco was crap. Same cd played every night I think !! Food wasn't too bad. Breakfast was especially good (When we got up for it). Clean hotel with very nice pool. Manolo the night manager was excellent. De puta madre. In all, top holiday was had.
