Reviews for Carpe Diem Cadaqués

Review 1：We had to plan our showers as the hot water take barely held enough for two consecutive showers.

Review 2：We had booked a small one-bedroom unit which would have been fine but then upgraded to a larger unit with a balcony overlooking the Cadaques Bay. Beautiful!The unit was fully equipped and functionally furnished (Ikea). We did not use the pool (large with lots of reclining chairs) or the fitness room (looked to be well equipped) as we did a lot of hiking instead. The location is excellent - there is a grocery store about 1.5 blocks away, Port Lligat (Dali's house) is an easy 10 - 15 minute walk in one direction and the Cadaques harbour with beach and restaurants is also an easy 10 - 15 minute walk in the other. The reception staff member was friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good (rolls, cheeses, meats, variety of fruit, yoghurt, and excellent coffee).

Review 3：wifi was very poor and I'd scheduled to work while I was at the apartment and it was difficult…be good to be honest about the quality of the connection at the complex or improve the connection

Review 4：Tasteful, quiet, clean, simple, a little way out of the town

Review 5：Tennis court surface needs an upgrade but still ok to play for fun.

Review 6：The view from our room was fantastic. Panorama of the town and beach. Short walk downhill to the center of the town. Clean apartment with nice facilities,.

Review 7：The apartment was comfortable. The only big issue was the horrendous mouldy smell through the apartment. If it were not for the smell I would have rated it much higher.

Review 8：Location was great

Review 9：Air conditioning broke on the first night and no one fixed it. The handiman said it needed a professional but they did not call one throughout our 4 night stay.

Review 10：Lovely self catering appartment. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of space. Lovely breakfast. Amazing view from pool area. Spotless pool cleaned every day.

Review 11：This comfortable, modern and well equipped apartment sits high above Cadaques and commands an excellent view over the town and the sea. It is relatively expensive, but with the quality and views that justify the price. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the resort facilities (pool, bar, tennis court, gym, etc.) were good too.

Review 12：Wi-Fi in our appartment was not working, probably because we were just too far from the router

Review 13：Location very good, nice view, swimming pool, bar is good as well, friendly staff

Review 14：Supremely friendly and helpful staff. It is away from the hussle and bustle of the main strip. Lovely pool, and they put on a great band for the guests one night!!

Review 15：Beautiful extremely spacious apartment in a lovely resort. The kitchen was well equipped, the air-conditioning was great. The apartment had free parking, a balcony and a roof terrace with sea views. The pool area was gorgeous. The apartments were a nice ten minute walk into the town centre, and ten minutes to the Dali house.

Review 16：The larger rooms at the top of the hill are large and very nice. Great view. A thrill to walk into when you check in. The pool is great and having a nice bar and restaurant was really nice.

Review 17：I have already filled this in but I inadvertently ticked send too soon, so if you could join the two reviews together? the original didn't get through let me know and Ill redo it. We will be going to Carpe Diem again next year and for longer.

Review 18：This was a beautiful place to stay in; the view of Cadaques/ the sea was great; the apartment was spacious, clean, with conditioning, and the terrasse private. we could wash our clothes; the swimming pool was big, and the food was good. Location excellent (10 mn walking distance to the center). We are thinking of coming back! Excellent staff.

Review 19：Beautiful small town with great sights, shops and restaurants. The beach, sea and water sports on offer were just right for us. The apartment was spacious, cool and had great views over the town.

Review 20：Prime location with an amazing view on the bay, Portlligat and Cadaqués! Hotel complex lovely with everything from pool, gyms to modern spaces. Great comfort in the accommodation/flat. Fantastic staff!

Review 21：Nothing! Overall a wonderful place. IF I had to critique, it might have been nice for the apartment kitchen to have some basic stuff on hand…as we only stayed a short stay (olive oil, salt & pepper) but I suppose there may be health regulations regarding that. Otherwise the place was perfect.

Review 22：The view from our apartment was gorgeous. Though it was up a hill to get there… it was worth it for the view from our balcony. It was VERY spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They let us use the pool the afternoon after we had checked out, b/c our bus to leave wasn't til 5pm, so that was very nice. Great place!

Review 23：Walk back from the village was a fair climb. Shower curtains made it awkward to shower as it constantly stuck to you. Suggest a shower screen replace the old style shower curtain.

Review 24：Located on the top of the hill with fantastic views of the town of Cadaques. Great little patio to sit on to have a meal or a drink or just watch the sun go down. Plenty of space in the grounds with parking on site.

Review 25：Tough uphill walk from the town centre.

Review 26：The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Our kitchen was well equipped and he peace and tranquillity was appreciated. We had an excellent wi fi connection.

Review 27：Negative only if you value localization- it is a 10 min walk from city centre, but for us it was ideal as we had an amazing view and it was quiet.

Review 28：I loved the view and how quiet it was. You could rest and enjoy the view. The apartment was really big, everything was in excellent conditions and it was super clean. I really recommend it.

Review 29：We liked everything. It is an excellent place to stay.

Review 30：The studio was very clean, heating is fine (heat pumps, so the interior fan is a bit noisy, but effective), the view is great (onto the mountain) and the balcony is big; one can see the sea from the end of the balcony. Great location for walks in the national Cap de Creus park. Healthy walk to and from town (quite steep on the way back!). Staff are delightful and very helpful. Kitchen is small, but cleverly included in the entrance hall, and has all one needs, even an oven!

Review 31：Cadaques is a jewel of a town especially in the low season. The apartment had splendid views and the kitchen was well appointed. The walk to the town centre was quick and enjoyable with lots to see and so the apartment was well situated. We especially enjoyed the terrace.

Review 32：Nothing

Review 33：It was fantastic that we could rent a place like this for just one night. We were there out of season so perhaps is doesn't do that in high season. Will definitely go back.

Review 34：The long uphill walk back up the hill, but we did get used to it. Lack of utensils and objects in kitchen for a self-catering apartment eg only one frypan to cook in, no kettle.

Review 35：Spaciousness, cleanliness, friendly staff. Balcony and wonderful views.

Review 36：While the furniture and equipment is adequate, it is basic, and there is a lack of comfortable seating. A kettle would have been very useful.

Review 37：Very friendly and helpful staff. Available parking as this is an issue in the town; we both enjoyed the exercise of the steep uphill walk home. Outside space in the form of a balcony is a bonus. Value for money.

Review 38：The location close to the centre of Cadaques is great - very easy walk down to restaurants and bars and a little hill on the way back to help work off the meal

Review 39：it doesn't have washing machine, you need take the clothes to the laundry although it's free. the apartment is in the mountain, if you don't book the service for taking you in the bus station, it will be very tired going up the mountain.

Review 40：In the mountain, the vision is very good, you can see the ocean and mountain views, to go down the mountain will take about 5-10 minutes,when you get down the mountain you will be very near to the sea and the center of the town. the staff is very nice, you can book the service to take you in/ to the bus station, it's free. My wife forgot the mobile phone in the room, the staff found it and sent it to me, it's very kind!

Review 41：It's up the hill so a fair distance to walk up the hill from thebeach but you can catch a golf car taxi for 4 euro per person.

Review 42：The staff were very friendly and helpful, they helped us make a bookingfor the Sali house and transport to the bus terminal, the location iswithin walking distance of Dali house. Good for largegroups/families as a 3 bedroom flat is basically a house.

Review 43：This is probably just how it works with an apartment style set up but they didn't clean the room during our 3 night stay

Review 44：The pool is nice, generally the hotel is close enough for walks to from center but far enough out where there is space. Staff very friendly and helpful

Review 45：Nothing at all

Review 46：View from our apartment was stunning. Peaceful location. Spotlessly clean inside apartment on arrival and all around the complex. Helpful friendly staff. Super pool and tennis court.

Review 47：Liked everything but the rain because the kids couldn't play more in the pool. That's Mother Nature.

Review 48：The apartment was perfect for our family: mom, kids and grandparents. Comfortable beds, clean. We walked down Tia restaurant int the square (Bamboo) and had good good and sangria while waiting for the rain to stop.

Review 49：There's not much to dislike. The equipment in the gym is a bit sparse (a treadmill and some bikes and one vintage universal machine). Good for cardio but some free weights and a bench would be nice. Other than that everything exceeds expectations by a considerable margin.

Review 50：The view from the apartment balcony over the town and bay at night would alone justify the rent. Similarly the pool /cafe/restaurant arrangement.

Review 51：Wifi worked only on balcony not in the room Occasional bad smell through vents Restaurant meal very disappointing

Review 52：Lovely decor Good kitchen facilities Great pool area Fantastic view Great location to shops, village, sights, especially if you enjoy walks

Review 53：Shower- too weak More soft seating in lounge. We were a group of 6 and it would have been nice to have 2 sofas so we could all sit down and relax together

Review 54：Great location apart from the busy traffic on the first part of the road Clean apartment, comfy beds, efficient air conditioning and a lovely patio area.

Review 55：2 days tried to get internet connection without results

Review 56：Great views, well equipped apartment, good pool and gym in grounds. Quiet and peaceful in October.

Review 57：Very friendly helpful staff. Helped whenever we needed any information. Stunning view from our apartment. Well equipped kitchen.

Review 58：Steepwalk down to the sea.

Review 59：Well appointed appartement with beautiful sea views over the town.

Review 63：Felt taken care of

Review 64：none

Review 65：proximity to town and to Dali's house, quiet,very helpful staff

Review 66：away from the centre but very accaessible to evrywhere, very helpful and friendly staff/owners

Review 67：It is located in uphill.so it is hard to go there for backpackers.

Review 68：Kitchen is good

Review 69：Unfortunately in december the pool is closed. They don't have a heated pool

Review 70：Location, view, staff,clean

Review 71：The appartment witht the terrasse and the living room, the location, the fitness room, the staff!

Review 72：Location is up a steep hill so is a challenge to get back from visiting the town on foot. Wifi was very poor.

Review 73：Close to the Dive Center and parking available outside the apartment

Review 74：The room, the view, the location, the staff and the facilities were great.

Review 75：really bad wifi! almost didnt work

Review 76：great location and excellent staff

Review 77：Cleanliness. Warm shower with good water pressure. No mosquitoes. Beautiful surroundings. Spacious on-site parking.

Review 78：Friendly staff. Great location.

Review 79：Freedom as at home and nice view... Wi-fi had bad connection

Review 80：Food quality was average A little distant from the city centre

Review 81：Location and view Cleanliness & comfort of the rooms Facilities - Tennis / Gym / Pool

Review 82：No kettle in the kitchen & wifi was slow & intermittent - small things.

Review 83：The hotel staff were excellent, friendly & helpful, they spoke excellent English. Large rooms and good to have kitchen facilities and use of a shared laundry. Easy 5-10 minute walk down to the old town but a bit of a steep walk back. Much easier than driving to the town as parking is a nightmare. Close to Dali's house and easy access to the lighthouse.

Review 84：The sound insulation is very poor, so one can hear the neighbours' tvs; the plumbing also needs attention as there is a terrible whining noise of air blocked in water pipes each time a tap (including neighbours' taps) is turned on. Heat exchangers for our and a neighbouring apartment were placed on our exterior wall, and made a racket each time the heating was used (through a reverse air conditioner). There was quite a pong of sewage from the front of the studio at the entrance. If the plumbing and noise insulation were sorted out, it would be a perfect place to stay, because everything else was excellent, including the friendly staff!

Review 85：The studio (part of a complex) was lovely and sunny with a terrace and view onto the mountain (and a little bit onto the harbour, which was a treat!). Location, high up in the town near the Cap de Creus national park, is perfect for acces to footpaths (e.g. 2.5-hour walk to Cap de Creus lighthouse by the fabulously beautiful coastal path) and nice and peaceful; it is also very near Port Ligat where the Dali 'shrine' (!) is located (5-min walk). The kitchen area is cleverly integrated into the entrance hall and is separated from the living/sleeping space by a door, which is a good idea. The studio was well-designed and comfortable (beds were comfy, too). Very friendly and helpful staff.

Review 86：nothing

Review 87：Apartment beautiful, clean, well fitted out. Very tastefully furnished and decorated. Very efficient heating system for winter. Staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Site and amenities perfect. We would recommend this to anyone.

Review 88：I did not like that there was only a two seat sofa for an apartment for 4. For the price there should either a full size sofa or arm chairs for 4 people.

Review 89：The friendly staff, cleanliness, and location were excellent.

Review 90：Had to look for corners in the studio in order to receive WiFi reception.

Review 91：Very well designed little studio apartment, spacious balcony. The whole complex is attractive and seems to have been renovated fairly recently. Very welcoming hosts.

Review 92：Swimming pool looked like a swamp. Features list washing machine when in fact there are two for the whole complex.Property was almost empty yet booking said only 2 units available. There are probably fifty plus. Internet Wi Fi very poor and satellite TV unviewable over Four days stay.

Review 93：Good view from upper units.

Review 94：Not much, but to be really fussy:1. The WiFi arrangement for our studio flat were inadequate; in the evening the field disappeared. You need some expert advice. 2. In mid-September the swimming pool was pretty cold due to the windy conditions. I know it's not the custom in Spain, but a small solar panel heating system might encourage the more sensitive guests into an otherwise excellent pool. 3. There's a slight air of Latin-American maintenance about the place: tennis court curling at the edges, a few stones coming loose on steps, some handrails and safety barriers needed on the steep stairways.

Review 95：Our studio flat provided all that we needed. The staff were veryfriendly and responsive. Carpe Diem is well placed for access to thetown. The tv worked! A safe and key were all part of the deal. Kitchenfacilities practical and adequate.

Review 96：J'aurais apprécié plus de linges pour le nettoyage de la cuisine.

Review 97：Nous avons rencontré un personnel accueillant, accommodant et parlant français, un plus pour nous. Atmosphère familiale. Nous avons découvert un environnement répondant à tous nos besoins incluant grande piscine avec nombreuses chaises au soleil ou à l'ombre selon notre désir. Et que dire du restaurant? Le meilleur repas de notre séjour en Espagne (14 jours). Il mérite le détour si on n'y loge pas.

Review 98：Quite a trek up the hill from the village in the heat. Need reasonable fitness.

Review 99：Location location location. Glorious setting, grounds, pool, wonderful friendly service. Pool restaurant excellent. Views unparalleled. Rooms/apartments not luxury. Quite basic for the price but paying for the stunning setting. Flowers everywhere. Very cared for grounds and property.

Review 100：The accommodation was excellent,with an amazing view. The terrace madean excellent place for an evening meal with all the facilities necessaryfor cooking said meal. The staff were very helpful and friendly.We didhave an issue with the refrigerator,which was resolved within an hour byan exchange of the whole unit. Looking forward to going back.

Review 101：Very friendly owners, eager to make you feel welcome. Gave usinformation about restaurants and places to visit. Spoke perfect frencheven though it was not requested, and surely not something I wouldrequire even though I am french. You are located over the town with aperfect panorama and we could use a roof terrace.
