Breakfast

Guests' experiences with breakfast at SARA RIVIERA Costa Plana are mixed. Many found it enjoyable to have breakfast delivered to their apartment, especially with a magnificent sea view from the terrace. Fresh croissants, bread and drinks provided a good start to the day for some, who described the breakfast as tasty, delicious and hearty. Special touches, like a small candle and balloon for occasions, added a nice touch for certain guests.

However, the breakfast is generally considered overpriced for what is provided with several guests noting that it was too simple and sparse given the cost. Issues with punctuality and consistency, such as breakfasts arriving late or not at all, were noted. Some guests also mentioned the breakfast quality did not justify the high prices, suggesting that the offerings were underwhelming and not worth it. Instances of poor organization and incomplete service further detracted from the overall experience.

While the option to have breakfast in-room is appreciated, many feel the quality and quantity could be improved for the price charged. Considering the service inconsistencies and several mentions of a better value found elsewhere, future guests might want to explore alternative breakfast options nearby.

Rooms

'SARA RIVIERA Costa Plana' has earned accolades for its stunning views and clean, bright apartments. Many guests appreciated the well-equipped and spacious accommodations that offer large terraces and balconies, some with breathtaking sea views.

The apartments are described as comfortable, cozy and functional with modern designs, which contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Many guests highlighted the comforts of well-maintained interiors and efficient layouts, which often include necessary facilities like dishwashers and washing machines.

However, there are some downsides noted. Some apartments require maintenance with issues such as broken locks, old furnishings and outdated fixtures. While many found the apartments to be clean, others pointed out that a few units appear worn or could use more thorough cleaning and overall upgrades. The size of the apartments and specific rooms, including bathrooms and bedrooms with bunk beds, are sometimes considered too small and tight, particularly for larger groups or families with children.

The check-in process appears somewhat complex for some guests and a few expressed disappointment over rooms not being reflective of their original bookings. The presence of stairs is another frequent concern, making navigation with luggage or for the elderly a challenge.

Overall, while there are areas needing attention, 'SARA RIVIERA Costa Plana' remains popular for its beautiful views, spacious terraces, convenient location and comfortable accommodations.

Some guests found the beds old, sagging or poorly maintained with one revealing that the bed collapsed. Additionally, there were remarks about dirty sheets and dusty blankets which detracted from the overall experience.
