Overview

Playa Grande by Tropical is a highly-rated beachfront hotel near Barcelona Airport, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Guests consistently praise the large, comfortable rooms, excellent facilities (including pools and a spa), and friendly staff. The hotel's contemporary design and stunning location are major highlights, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a luxurious and tranquil experience. While it's conveniently located near the airport (a 10-minute taxi ride), its somewhat isolated setting may not be suitable for those wishing to explore the city. Also note that the hotel's on-site restaurant is considered pricey, and there are reports of pool access issues due to drought conditions.

We wanted to be somewhat close to the Barcelona airport since we were flying out the next day. The property is a beautiful, contemporary beach front hotel for adults only. The reception staff and restaurant staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We most definitely recommend Playa Grande by Tropical.

This property was amazing. Great staff. 30 min away from Barcelona by taxi. So if you are just planning for a relaxing vacation this is really good. But if you wanna explore the city this is probably not the place. Food was great but a bit expensive. Clean beach , great view. We took a room with the pool on the upper lever. Due to the drought, they said we coudnt use it, same issues with other people who booked the room with pool,they should've mentioned that in their website because we had to pay extra just because of that pool. they should have given us a voucher for an appetizer or drinks or something but nope. Thats the only thing that bothered us. But otherwise great stay.

One of the most beautiful hotels we've stayed in. The hotel is incredible and right on the beach. From the roof top deck with it's infinity pool, to the beautiful spa facilities on the lower floor; It was a real treat for the last night of our vacation. The staff are all incredibly helpful too and it's only a 10 minute drive from Barcelona airport. The surrounding area is really quiet, but it's only a few minutes walk to a handful of restaurants and bars; the onsite bar and restaurant looked amazing too.

This hotel is fabulous, despite no children in main pool it was a great 2 night stay. Very modern & sophisticated. Rooms were amazing with a double shower. Best fir couples rather than friends sharing as the shower screen is completely transparent and toilet Door just glazed so little privacy ! Breakfast fantastic tho expensive. Not much to do around the hotel but a wonderful short hop from the airport and v chilled beach club vibe. Jol in breakfast area v helpful as were the re toon staff.
