Buffet Coral Platja, Roses, Spain

This is a pleasent hotel on the seafront of Roses. The staff are very helpful and pleasent. We were with a holiday group of 50 people. There were 6 to 8 other groups there at the same time. This means breakfast and dinner can be a bit chaotic. If I was a single person or a couple it would not particularly pleasent eating with so many people. The rooms are a good size. Ours was very large as it was a corner room, however it did not have a balcony. There are no extras in the room, e.g. shampoo, tissues ect. They do however now provide a kettle and teabags. No milk or coffee. The rooms are very clean, comfortable beds and quiet. You do have to hire the towels for the swimming pool,, which can be chaotic if a lot of people want them at the same time, they have to fill in forms! The swimming pool is very warm, but not a place to relax by as it is next to the main road and very noisy. The food was very varied, very much school dinners, the staff worked hard to keep the dishes coming, but if there was something good it went very quickly .

As I mentioned in some of my recent reviews I arrived at this lovely little hotel with 61 other tired, thirsty and hungry cyclists. We were part of a 660K charity cycle to Barcelona. The hotel was clean and bright, The staff were very helpful if a little slow. It did take an age to get a beer. The restaurant was the standard all inclusive buffet style. This worked well for our party who generally arrive like a plague of ravenous locusts. Being able to fill your plate yourself was a welcome bonus at the end of a long day. Wide selection. Everything well cooked and very tasty. Beautiful location on the beachfront. Well worth a visit.

Given the number of restaurants in which I eat, it is relatively unusual for me to find one with which I am sufficiently inspired to make a Trip Advisor Report on one. but the Buffet Restaurant at the Hotel Coral Platja in Roses was such a good find, that I would feel selfish were I to keep it to myself! We stayed in roses for a week at the northern end of the town above the Port. The Hotel Coral Platja is at the opposite end of the beach, so we had walked some way (parking being impossible) before reaching it. We passed a good many restaurants (some of which we sampled), but were looking for something 'out of the ordinary '. So when we discovered somewhere offering a 3 course buffet for €17 , we just had to investigate. Compared to most of the restaurants on the sea front, this was deserted in other words, there were a number of empty tables. Usually one would interpret this as meaning that savvy people had given it the 'thumbs down ', but we had walked a long way, were hungry and decided to give it a try. You buy tickets from the Hotel Reception desk and hand it to the person at the entrance, choose your table and the rest is up to you. There is an amazing selection of mouthwatering cold and hot dishes to suit almost any gastranomic preference, of which you can make whatever you want and as much as you want into your starter and similarly for the main course. The desert selection is more limited, but to be honest, I only needed something sweet to clean my pallete, and what was there was more than adequate to do this. Of course, we all know that places like this make their profits on the wine. Not so here! Whilst the selection is not 'haute cuisine ' standard, we had quite an acceptable bottle of red wine for about €13. All in all, the meal cost less than €50, which was amazing value for money, especially considering what else was available on the sea front for a similar amount. The only thing that puzzled us was how come this gem of a restaurant is not more widely known? We still don 't know, but it was too good not to share! So next time we are in Roses, if we do go again, guess where we will go for a meal at least one evening? The Buffet Restaurant, Hotel Coral Platja! Hope to see you there!
