Hotel Papi is a charming mini resort that made for a great family stay. Our children enjoyed exploring the safe grounds, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. There were daily activities for both kids and adults, and karaoke night was especially fun, with everyone handed a microphone to sing along.
The rooms were clean, but the beds were quite small for a family of four (three adults and a child). Thankfully, we had booked two rooms, which made our stay much more comfortable, and it was still a great value. Note that two full-size beds are pushed together to form a king, so space can feel tight.
The balcony faced other buildings rather than the pool, but it was fine. The front desk staff were helpful and provided great local tips. Breakfast was a highlight, with both fresh and pre-made options, a great way to start the day.
The beach nearby was rocky, making it difficult to get in and out of the water. Much of the coastline seemed to be the same. We took a short metro ride, about 10 minutes, to San Pol, a beautiful nearby beach town that felt like an oasis.
The hotel is about two hours from Barcelona’s El Prat Airport (BCN), and a taxi costs around $250. We opted for the metro, which was tiring but gave us a more local experience.
Hotel Papi wasn’t crowded and attracted both locals and international guests. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay outside the hustle of Barcelona, we definitely recommend it.
