We stayed at the Aparthotel Iris for 10 days. This aparthotel is in the perfect location about 100 meters from a nice beach yet right in town next to a grocery store and many little shops and retaurants. The local train station is a short walk away and you can get to the many other little towns and to Barcelona quite easily.Barcelona is about 1 hour by train. The reception is not staffed 24 hours(We believe their regular hours are 9-12 and 4 to 6 and you receive a key to the front door) but even though we were late we were greeted by the recptionist who was cheerfully waiting for our arrival and showed us the facitilites.The receptionist was also very helpful in answering any of our questions. We had a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with complete kitchen facitilies large table,nice bathroom with tub and shower,two balconies(one off the livingroom-kitchen area and one off our bedroom).Our apartment also had pullout sofa in the livingroom so it could probably accomodate up to 4 people.A safe in the apartment is also available for rent. Being able to cook ourselves certainly cut down on food expenses. Because of the location,the price (which was very reasonable) and the bright,clean and spacious apartment we would no complaints and would gladly return to stay here. 5 out of 5.

“family break”

very clean apartment with 1 bedroom and sofa bed in living room. We also had a second bedroom with no window but we didnt need it for sleeping. My 3 kids ages 9,7,3 slept in the sofa bed and there was plenty of space for them. The kitchen is well equipped but we chose to eat only breakfast there.... more

very clean apartment with 1 bedroom and sofa bed in living room. We also had a second bedroom with no window but we didnt need it for sleeping. My 3 kids ages 9,7,3 slept in the sofa bed and there was plenty of space for them. The kitchen is well equipped but we chose to eat only breakfast there. Towels changed daily and apartment cleaned daily. Hector and Conxi were friendly and helpful to us. There is an air con unit in living room and in the bedroom. The balconies are small but will fit a chair and they have a clothes drying line. My only fault and hence 4 stars- the rooms can be noisy and you can hear taps, showers being turned on in the next apartment. The beach is 100m away but we chose to walk down to the beach area which has the aqua park as the sand was better there for the kids and there was less of an incline getting into the water. The sand is gritty and not good for making sandcastles. The water gets deep quite quickly so be careful. The aquapark (inflatables) were great fun and cheaper if you book online using the flyer in reception of Aparthotel. We liked Aruba restaurant at the beach for price and quality of food. Overall, a lovely 4 day break in Malgrat De Mar.

Was very much looking forward to our stay being aware of the proximity of the accommodation to the beach and to be fair, we felt lucky to have such great views of the beach during our stay. Also the proximity of the accommodation to the amenities was great and we didn't find it too noisy. Having noted the plus sides, there were a couple of things that let it down for us. On arrival (at 3am due to delays) we were unclear how to access the accommodation although we'd been advised that there was a night porter. There was no door bell or instructions of what to do so we called the phone number on the door. It became clear that this was for the person in charge of the apartments although she was not on site, she called the porter who was on site who let us in. He asked for our details which we gave him, then he said that he wanted to keep my passport until the next morning when his boss would formally check us in. I asked if it would be locked away and he showed me that it would be stored under a plastic box under the reception desk. Not securely at all. I refused to leave it with him and eventually after speaking to the manager was able to go to our room. When we checked in with the manager the next morning, she asked for a 50 euro deposit. I was surprised at this as I had fully paid through Travel Republic and there had been no mention of a deposit. Too tired and not wanting to dispute, I gave the deposit with a hand written note at the bottom of an invoice that it would be returned at the end of our stay. The apartments have aircon which is fantastic and they are very clean. It's also great to have your own space to cook and eat. There are two single beds in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the lounge. I pseudo slept on the sofa bed as it was comparable to sleeping on a floor as it was so hard. There was also a large boiler in the same room next to the sink that was very noisy during the night. This broke during our visit which may have explained the noise and the very hot water in the tiny shower. Also noted that the plug for the boiler was unpluggable and very close to the kitchen sink. By UK standards, a health and safety nightmare. All in all, I received my deposit back, I managed to escape from the hot water from the shower and only had a short stay. Its a shame it wasn't great because the proximity and views are great.
