Just returned from a week in the camp. I wouldnt go here again if it was a free holiday.
Staff have no time for you, the bar staff barring one girl are all moody, ignorant people.
Food is the same all week cold boring, unless you like chips chips chips.
Pool area very small and not enough sun loungers.
No entertainment whatsoever, apart from the cow hide outfit people which were CRAP!!
Ended up going out but couldnt afford to every night as the prices in the bars were more than over here!!!!
NEVER GO TO THIS HOTEL IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME!!!!!!!

Just got back from Planamar, as soon as me and my girlfriend turned up at 'the fritsl dungeon' she started crying because of the sheer state of the hotel and location.
Don't even get me started on the food, if watered down water soup is your favorite meal, then you may enjoy the soup, also having anus sausages in the morning is a great way to start of your day at the concentration camp. We paid for all inclusive and eaten out for every meal of the week, ending up spending a fortune
the room :
The view - construction site and back of the kitchens, constant noise coming from the huge boilers, good for a night in on the balcony!
The bath/shower - awful.
BAR STAFF - HORRIBLE SLEASY MEN no matter how much alcohol we drank at the bar, there was no way we could get pissed. Aparantly all inclusive means you can get all of your drinks free? In other words one kind of cocktail (which you had to pay for the rest) along with the average barly alcoholic drinks.
The pool was far too small which got far too packed, not enough sun loungers which came to idiots getting up really early to go and put their towels out before disapearing all day.
overall holiday - shite.

Hi just arrived back from planamar, after reading some reviews we were dreading it..i have to say we were pleasantly surprised. food wasnt as bad as we expected, it was much the same as the royal sun, but missing the little extras ie grated cheese crutonds. etc. rooms small but big enough for two people..the staff were great, always smiling. the one thing we didnt enjoy so much were the rolla cola they used to mix drinks,. would use this hotel again.preferred to the royal sun.which we have also stayed and htop santa sussanna.

Have just returned from a week's break at this hotel and will definitely not be returning. The hotel itself is extremely dated, especially the rooms, although it was clean and the maids cleaned our room every day. The food was ok but not a huge choice, nothing much at all for the kids so they ended up living on chips and plain pasta for the whole week. We never bothered with the snacks on the all inclusive as every day it was either burgers, salad or dried up cold chips. I found all the staff, especially the bar and restaurant staff, to be extremely rude and arrogant. Malgrat itself is very scruffy with most places either closed down or covered in graffiti. All in all I would say this hotel is more a 2 star than a 3 star.

We were booked in to this hotel but changed by the company to the Royal Sun a week before we flew out. A lot of people who booked for the Planamar were changed at the last minute. We can't comment on the rooms, although the balconies with the lovely blue shutters looked great. We spent several afternoons at the Planamar and had lunch there one day. The food was just as good as the Royal Sun which is supposed to be 4 Star, I personally think the Planamar has a much nicer atmosphere and loved sitting outside during the day, I never really felt that at the Royal Sun. The free bus just started the day we left, but the good thing about HTop hotels is that you can comfortably walk between the Royal Sun, Planamar and the Santa Susanna when you get bored. The Planamar in particular is ideally situated near the train station and the trip to Barcelona is only around six euro return. The beach is just across the street. Be aware if you are going before the begining of April that the free bus advertised is not on and many shops and cafes are closed. You can get two drinks per card all-inclusive at the 3* Planamar and only one at the 4* Royal Sun. The bar staff at the Planamar were pleasant and smiled if you were polite to them, the restaurant staff were not as pleasant and refused us snacks as we had not known we had to book them in advance. (Don't depend on a USB memory stick if you have work to do on any of the HTop Hotel internet points - for some reason they will not work - use a CD or even a floppy.)
For the money you can book this hotel all-inclusive I think it is a very good deal. I would certainly return to Santa Susana/Malgrat De Mar and would definitely stay at the Planamar.

We stayed in Planamar hotel for a week and was glad to get away, we went expecting nightly entertainment and there was none, the staff were moody and the only good thing is the free booze, on the web site, it stated nightly entertainment, there was also no holiday rep and was dissapointed as we still went on holiday looking for things to do and there was no one to help unless we asked the hotel staff which shouldnt happen on a holiday, there should be a rep no matter what time of the year it is, my partner is a vegetarian and was digusted at the food as all she eat for the whole week was bread rolls and past with sauce and maybe some salad which isnt fair and all i was eating was coldish chips bred rolls and pasta really, the aggs were not cooked properly and looked like see through snot, to be honest it was a nice break but it didnt feel like a holiday much which was a shame. You will like this hotel if you like sitting down staring at everything with a drink all the time, but if you like to do things then there is not much to choose from.

Hotel was right opposite the beach, so th location was good, but the hotel was not! the room was so small that th bed prevented us from opening th door properly. there was alot of elderly people and children, possibly the time we went. The food was pretty average, nothing special and the local drinks were far too sweet so we had to water it down so there wasnt much point drinking alcohol or just dont go all inclusive and buy food and drinks when you get there cos there were so many nice restaurants and bars.
th balcony's were so small you'd bump into eachother if there was anymore than one person out there, they say rooms are big enough for three ... that is a lie
some of the staff were friendly and others were not
overall i didnt like the hotel, ive only ever stayed in one other 3* hotel and the standard of the other 3* wasnt as poor as Planamar so i dont think that its rated correctly, there were many hotels in the area, most were 3* and they looked so much better! although i dont think il b staying anywhere less than 4* again!i do NOT recommend planamar hotel at all!

typical spanish all inclusive with some choice but never really nice food .Unusually for Spain very little fresh fruit ,coffee was foul unless you paid for it at the bar we never had that before .Staff ok but sometimes very pushy and impatient.What for me spoilt this hotel was the very noisy and unruly british families ,I am trying to be objective here but ive never stayed at such a noisy hotel ,though it is the first time ive stayed in a hotel that was almost 100 percent british .To be fair there was very little for the children to do and once the weather changed for the worst everybody seemed to stay in the hotel with the inevitable noisy cosequences We did travel around but when we came back into the hotel the noise was awful
