Located across the street from Malgrat de Mar Beach, the 195-room ALEGRIA Maripins hotel is a good pick for the price if guests can snag an updated, sea-facing room. This mid-range, chain hotel has been renovated more recently than other nearby options, and updated rooms are white and breezy with hard floors and attractive modern bathrooms. There are a kids' club and a small outdoor pool area, and the hotel offers half-board and all-inclusive packages. An on-site bar serves gelato and cocktails, and guests report that the hotel serves a tasty breakfast at its buffet.
Scene
Modern hotel on the seafront
Blue-tinted glass rails on room balconies and outdoor spiral staircases give ALEGRIA Maripins hotel a distinct and modern look. The lobby is basic and simple, with tile floors and somewhat dated furniture -- this space is not as modern or polished as the rooms. The atmosphere is relaxed, especially in the outdoor pool area and open-air porch with wicker chairs. The hotel provides evening entertainment including Brazilian night and flamenco dancing, and there’s a kids' club with an indoor area where children’s colorful artwork on coloring book pages lines the walls. The beach is just across the street and train tracks, but guests warn that it’s not a great spot for small children as there is a sharp drop-off into the ocean.
Location
