The Hotel Neptuno & Apartments is a solid value hotel with a decent set of amenities. The 109 rooms and apartments have a bright, simple style, and facilities cater for a range of guests -- there's a kids' club, outdoor pool, game room, and separate adult-only pool and whirlpool. The lobby cafe serves drinks and light meals that can be taken on the poolside terrace, or there's a more formal buffet restaurant. Evening entertainment, free bike rentals, and a modern fitness room are welcome touches, though expect fees to add up. Additionally, the style can be dated and so-called all-inclusive plans are limited. For an all-inclusive alternative that's a bit more modern, opt for the Hotel Santa Monica instead. Rates are similar and it's only two blocks from the beach.

The three-pearl Hotel Mar Blau is a slightly dated property situated a five-minute walk from the beach in Calella. Features include an outdoor pool and kids' pool, a buffet restaurant and lobby bar/cafe, and a sparsely equipped fitness room with a sauna and hot tub. Full- and half-board rates are available. A seasonal animation team provides day and evening entertainment and activities. The 220 guest rooms are also dated decor-wise, but have private balconies, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- though mini-fridges and safes incur a fee. The hotel is situated in an area full of bars and nightclubs, so noise can be an issue here, plus wall are thin. For an alternative with all-inclusive rates and a better old town location, check out the ALEGRIA Espanya.

The GHT Hotel Maritim is a three-pearl option that's about as close to the beach as you can get in the resort town of Calella. Facilities are solid, with both indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, a great rooftop garden with ocean views, and two eateries with evening entertainment. It's a modern-looking hotel overall, but the 162 rooms are pretty basic decor-wise. Additionally, though they come with air-conditioning and balconies, the free Wi-Fi is slow. There's an emphasis on families -- with connecting rooms, a kids' club, and baby equipment on hand -- but there are plenty of couples and groups around too. It ticks all the boxes for a mid-range hotel, but travelers who prefer a quieter location might check out the similar H Top Calella Palace instead.

With 519 rooms, the H TOP Olympic is bigger than the other two H TOP all-inclusives in the area, and this mid-range hotel is also the least expensive of the three. Its best feature is the huge outdoor pool area with palm trees, loungers, and a pretty pool with bridge and waterfall features. The hotel is clean but dated, and rooms have popcorn spackling and tube-style TVs. 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. Guests may also want to check out MedPlaya Hotel Santa Monica, a mid-range hotel with clean rooms and a friendly staff, but slightly higher rates.

The three-pearl Hotel Volga is a five-minute walk from Calella's beach, as well as the train station for connections to Barcelona. Dining and drinking along Carrer de l'Eglesia are nearby as well. There are plenty of features, including evening entertainment, a small outdoor pool, and a buffet restaurant, plus it has a Beach Club on nearby Nui Beach. All-inclusive rates aren't available, though half- and full-board plans are offered. The 164 rooms are split into three tiers, and it's worth paying extra for the Privilege Rooms, which have a more contemporary look, plus extras like free Wi-Fi and towels/sunbeds at the beach. Otherwise, lower-category rooms are uninspiring and dated. Travelers looking for a more polished alternative might consider the Hotel Kaktus Playa instead, which has an indoor pool and spa.

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 has an outdoor pool with two separate children’s pools, a fitness center, and a large indoor kids’ club with daily activities. 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.
