Alannia Els Prats

Think of Alannia Els Prats as a large coastal camping resort rather than a conventional hotel. It is built for holidays where the family can spread out, the children have plenty to do, and the sea is close enough to make footwear optional for part of the day.

You are in a busy, activity-led place, with a water park, outdoor pool, gardens, a gym, spa facilities and organised entertainment. That suits divers travelling with non-diving companions particularly well: there is no need for everyone to follow the same timetable from breakfast onwards.

English is spoken by the hotel team, alongside Spanish, Italian, German and French. That matters when you are sorting out a transfer, asking about an excursion or trying to establish what dinner actually includes.

The resort is in Mont-roig del Camp, on Spain’s Costa Daurada, at Ctra. N-340, Km 1137, in the Miami Platja area. It sits directly beside the sea, with public beach access, sun loungers and parasols available for beach time without a separate journey.

Mont-roig del Camp town centre is around 3 miles away. The nearby coastline includes Platja dels Pilans, Platja de Rifà and La Casa dels Lladres Beach, giving you several stretches of Mediterranean shore to explore around the base.

The practical geography is simple: beach on the doorstep, town a short drive away, and the resort itself large enough to supply much of the day’s entertainment. A nearby PADI centre is about 0.5 miles away, so local diving is within reach rather than on the property itself.

The accommodation is arranged around studios and cabins, with private bathrooms throughout the listed options. The choice is less about a classic hotel-room hierarchy and more about how you want to use the space: studios suit couples or smaller family groups, while the cabins are the more natural fit when several people need somewhere to settle after a day outdoors.

The A and B Studios keep things compact. The Maui, Aruba, Home Cabin Sunset, Mykonos and Ibiza cabins give the resort a more self-contained, holiday-park feel, with several designs to choose from rather than one repeated room template. For a family holiday, that cabin format should make the accommodation feel more like a base than simply somewhere to sleep.

Room service is available, and family rooms are part of the accommodation offer. The useful detail here is the private bathroom in every listed category; beyond that, the room information does not establish features such as air conditioning, refrigerators, balconies or sea views, so those should not be assumed when choosing between categories.

Food is handled on site through a restaurant, with a bar for the part of the evening when a drink matters more than another excursion. That keeps the basic post-dive routine uncomplicated: return from the coast, shower, eat, then decide whether the day is finished.

The resort’s wider layout also includes bars and restaurants as part of its holiday facilities, but no specific restaurant names, cuisine styles or signature dishes are established here. Expect the useful convenience of eating on the property rather than a destination dining address built around elaborate tasting menus.

The meal plan depends on the accommodation booking. Check the exact arrangement attached to your stay before you reserve, particularly if you want breakfast or dinner built into the day rather than dealt with separately.

The main pool comes with slides, so this is not the sort of place where the water is merely decorative. The outdoor pool and water park give families an easy alternative to the beach, while the direct seaside access offers a quieter change of scene when the slides have done their work.

For a slower afternoon, the spa includes massages, facials, a hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, mud bath and body wraps. A solarium is also available. The gym and fitness facilities cover the more energetic option, while table tennis, windsurfing, snorkelling, hiking and golf add ways to move without turning the whole stay into a training camp.

Children have a playroom, playground, kids’ club and organised entertainment. The resort also runs evening entertainment, concerts, dancing and games. That makes it particularly workable for couples travelling with children, although anyone looking for a small, hushed property should understand the character before booking: this is a full-scale family resort, not a hideaway.

Reception is open from 08:00 to 22:00. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 22:00, while check-out is by 11:00, so an early arrival or a late departure needs planning rather than optimism. Airport transfers can be arranged through the hotel, and car hire, parking, luggage storage, concierge assistance and laundry are available.

Free Wi-Fi is available, and excursions can be arranged through the hotel’s tourist information service. The property also has a safe, room service and a public beach, which keeps the practical business of a resort holiday fairly contained. If you are driving or hiring a car, the address is on the N-340 in the Miami Platja area of Mont-roig del Camp.

Spain’s hotel rules may include a mandatory gala dinner charge, with the details handled directly by the property. City tax does not apply to children under 13. Electrical sockets are type C and F, with a 230-volt, 50-hertz supply.
