Bon Repos is an all-inclusive budget hotel located a short walk from the beach. Rooms are a tad dated but clean and adequate, with tube TVs (some have small flat-screen TVs), furnished terraces, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning. With just a free-form pool, a buffet restaurant, a kids’ club, and a couple of bars, the hotel is light on amenities for an all-inclusive. Plus, guests complain of repetitive, mediocre food, and thin walls. However, it’s a decent pick for beach-goers and families on a budget.
Scene
An all-inclusive popular with families
This all-inclusive draws families with its many kid-friendly amenities and convenient location a short walk from the beach and the city center. Decor in common spaces is generic and basic, with blonde wood furniture in the restaurant, and plastic loungers by the pool. The lobby is large and bright, with a cream-colored palette in the front desk area, and a few sitting rooms with bright red couches, vending machines, and a few computers. The hotel is near bars and many other hotels, and can be a little loud for some.
Location
Blocks from the beach, and a short walk to nightlife and dining
The hotel is located on a one-way street lined with bars, restaurants and other hotels. It is not the busiest part of town, but it can get loud at night with people walking back to their hotels. The beach is down the street, and the city center is a 15-minute walk away. There are a few stores in the blocks around the hotel, but they’re mostly souvenir shops. There’s better and more varied shopping closer to the center. Those looking to explore the area can find a couple of other beaches a 10-minute drive away. Barcelona can be reached in just under an hour by car.
Rooms
Clean and bright -- but a little barebones and dated
The hotel offers 210 rooms, all featuring furnished terraces, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi -- but little else. Decor is a tad dated but colorful, with blue comforters, gray accent walls, and light brown floor tiles. Some rooms feature small flat-screen TVs, but others still have old tube ones. Bathrooms are clean and fairly spacious, with tubs, and an assortment of generic toiletries. Street-facing rooms can be a little loud at night, so light sleepers may want to request a room either on the top floor or overlooking the pool. Still, walls are thin, and noise may be an issue sometimes regardless of the floor. Guests may want to note that there’s a fee for use of the in-room safe.
Features
A buffet restaurant, a free-form pool, and kid-friendly amenities
The hotel’s restaurant serves an average (some say mediocre and repetitive) buffet in a large, bright space with generic blonde wooden furniture, a large buffet island, and a bar. The free-form pool is of a decent size for the number of rooms in the hotel, and features dozens of loungers. There is also a bar area with tables and chairs right next to the pool. Adjacent to the main pool is the kiddy area, with a shallow pool and a kid-size table and chairs for activities. The hotel also offers a kids’ club, family-friendly entertainment, and a couple of arcade machines in the lobby for teens. There are a handful of computers in the lobby that guests can use for a fee.
