The Hotel was really clean and tidy
For us, This was to be our main and only holiday which we booked back in January.
We used Resorthoppa for Transfers who were great.
Anyway, Back to the Hotel.
The Staff seemed really nice and during the stay for 14 nights, You get to know a lot of them and can have a good laugh and joke with a lot of them.
As mentioned in lots of reviews, THE POOL!!!!!
Tiny and only 30 sunbeds between 600 people MMMmmm do the Maths!.
We had room 228 which is at the back and looks directly into another building but because there was 4 of us the *28 rooms were alot bigger than the rest because they were next to the lifts.
We had a TV with remote and could watch ITV which was good.
We had a Telephone which we got into trouble with the neighbours with because we got drunk one night and called loads of people including them!!!!! Oooops
Sorry if you are reading this, It was just the one night.
Our room also had a fridge but no mini bar as stated in all readups.
ENTERTAINMENT - Would be a lot better if the Hotel would help the guys out.
The dart board was all taped up with drawn on numbers and we were down to one Dart.
Big up to the team - Tamara, Jiona, Remco and Andreas.
The grease show was fantastic. but the Karaoke ?????.
FOOD - We thought the food was really good and lots to choose from and the dining room decor was exisite.
so much so that we had to question ourselves everynight wheather we were on the titanic or not.
The only downside was the sweets, not a lot of variety.
We went to the Medievil night and Tordera at 12 Euro's each which was ok.
The show itself was fine, The foods wasn't that great but edible.
afterwards, everybody runs to get down into the hall so that they can get a seat for the Flamenco show.
Take my advice. Finish your wine and stroll down.
When everyone has there seat, go and get a seat that is stacked up to the right of the stage and plonk it right infront of everyone else at the edge of the dancefloor. this not only annoys the people that ran down to get a seat but when the stage expands out, means that you are about 2 feet away (result).
BOAT TRIPS - The ones that pick up from the beach are a little pricey so if you leave the Hotel Amaika and turn right, at the next street, turn right then cross the road. You will find a nice little TOURS shop.
WE highly recomend the Catamaran sensation Trip.
A bus took us from Calella to Blanes where we caught the Catamaran, he took us up the coast for an hour during which "ALL YOU CAN DRINK" Beer, wine, sangria,&soft drinks.
After an hour he anchored up in a lovely bay with green water for 1 and a half hours, set out an inflatable trampoline, water mats, a slide and snorkels.
Basically "crack on and go nuts" it was glorious.
whilst we fannied about in the water, the guys on the boat cooked us sausages and burgers on the BBQ.
they when all cooked, served up along with lots of other food.
After which, we sailed back, then got the bus back to Calella. (What a day)all for 130 Euro's for 4.

We stayed at the Amaika and were allocated a room on the seventh flor unfortunately the heating/ventallation/air conditioning units were situated on the roof directly above our room and the noise went on 24/7 so much so we were unable to sleep We approached the Manager about getting moved to a different part of the hotel, although we were very polite, the young lady was exceptionally unhelpful, it was a case of take it or leave it it's not my problem, she advised us that we were the only complainants, however during our stay we spoke to another four couples who said they had completed complaints forms regarding this.
The food was not what you would hae expected for a 4 Star hotel, very repetitive, same thing every morning,wet bacon and burnt fied eggs, the menu inthe evening varied a little but basically it was the same type of meat in a different sauce, we noted that there was a chef cooking and thought that this would be OK but he was cooking the same a what was already on the buffet.The suop was inedible, and one old Irish man advised us to take the stew in its place as it was more like sop than stew.The sweets never varied and when a tray of fresh fruit was offered it was cleared in seconds.

Overall the hotel was clean, the pool is minute and there was very little room around it to sit.There is no space for children to play. There are no sea view rooms, but at least the rooms to the front of the hotel had a road bewteen them and the buildings accross the road the rooms at the back look directly in a building and there were disco etc very closeby, and you get a lot of noise from these late into the night.

With the exception of the Service Manager the staff in general were very nice and helpful, particulary Carly in Reception and Fati and Mari in the dining room, we found them to be exceptionally nice people and they helped to make what would have been a total disaster of a holiday a little better.

The entertainment wasn't to our taste but a lot of people seemed to like it. The lounge was always very busy, but again it was colder and sometimes a bit wet so people tended to stay in the hotel in the evenings.

The Amaika was reputed to be the flagship of the group in this resort, we visited two other hotels in the group and had feed back from other holiday makers. The group used to allow the all inclusive card holders to use any Hotel and their facilities, this has stopped and only if you stay in the Amaika are you allowed to do this, card holders from the Olympic and the Calella Palace are not allowed to use them at the Amaika, much to some poeples dissapointment.

We went here last year and could not wait t take our friends this year. Wish we had not. The hotel has really gone down in my estimation. The only decent receptionist is Carly (shes american/dutch). The rest were very surly - no help at all.

The food is a hit and miss affair, if you want curried bacon for breakfast - fine if not!!!

Last year no young children, no facilities for them - this year loads of them, still no facilities for them.

The hotel must hold over 400 people - but only 33 sunbeds and three umbrellas - I am not prepared to get down and queue for for sunbed .

The Ameika is based on the Titanic, that hit an iceberg, I wonder what the Ameika's excuse was...... also their flag ship (which is what this is supposed to be) is now flying at half mast. The staff in the bar were pleasant as were the resturant staff(in the main).

We also booked resorthoppa - dont even bother. Our coach to go home showed up 4 hours late - still fighting with the company over that one.

I think I will give this area a miss in future!!!!

This is the 4th time we have visited this hotel.

It is in a perfect location with many shops, bars and cafes in walking distance. Good transport links to all surrounding areas. Public transport is very cheap.

The hotel is clean and the food is of a very high standard.
The entertainment was average.

Rooms are very well laid out.

Will go back and recomend to anyone

I have been to this hotel so many times and i love it !!!
The hotel is beautiful and very very clean !!
I can not fault this holtel at all the food is great and there is always a great choice for everyone
There is entertainment for the kids and the staff are very nice

The hotel is suitable for the disabled or the elderly as it has numerous lifts and wheel chair access to the pools

I've just returned from this hotel with a group of 12 friends.

On arrival even though myself and 2 of the party were the only ones at check-in we found it slow due to the man on reception using the computer and answering the phone. A polite 'one moment' would have been appreciated instead of us being ignored.

We were pleased with our room which consisted of two twin beds, TV with English channels, fridge, mirrored wardrobe. The bathroom was nice but the separate shower cubicle was tiny, but there was also a shower over the spacious bath. Hot water was plentiful. There was a hair dryer and also complimentary soap, shower gel, comb, shower-caps, toothbrushes, shoe shiner and sewing kit.

Food was ample and we didn't have any complaints.

Drinks in the bar were fine although the queue can soon build up when there is only one till open which the barman needs to swipe your AI card. Each evening there is a different 'cocktail of the day' which is included in the AI deal. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate is also available from the machine next to the bar.

The hotel was clean (apart from the odd whiff of 'dirty mop' which could occasionally be smelt near the coffee machine area and also the downstairs lifts). The smoking/internet room has a deodoriser which puffs out a perfumed spray which is a bonus.

We didn't use the pool due to us going in January but it is tiny and I would imagine it would be really cramped trying to sunbathe in the area.

The hotel is non smoking apart from the smoking/internet room (you can take drinks from the bar into there) or outside around the pool area. We could however smoke in our room as an ashtray was provided.

We didn't have any complaints about the hotel and would certainly visit again.

hotel ameka we stayed here for a week in jan 2008 the staff were very friendly the food was fairbut saying that i am a fusy eater and always found somthing to eat entertainment well for the time of year they done there best would i recomend or return to this hotel have no doubt about it

Hi all, have just returned from a 16 day holiday at this hotel including christmas and new year.

We have stayed at this hotel before and the room/cleaniness/staff were as normal where first class.

We have stayed here before .

But what has gone wrong with the food...they seemed to be using the cheapest meats that they could obtain and the a lot of the food was cold/lookwarm......the micro-wave was working overtime with guests reheating food up.

Please please amika GET YOUR FOOD BACK TO WHERE IT WAS...
dont spoil this great hotel....

regards........John-Doe......

Just arrived back from the Amaika. Had a great break was only there for a few days but enjoyed every bit of it. Would definately go back.

This hotel was amazing. We had a great time and couldn't find a single thing to complain about. Every member of staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was varied and lovely and we had a great week. Liver hurts a bit though. Would go back here in a heart beat.
We ventured into a couple of the other HTop hotels in the surrounding resorts and they honestly dodn't have a patch on the Amaika, different class altogether.
