(Deep breath… here we go!)
Accessibility: The Rollercoaster of Mobility
Right, let's get this out of the way. My expectations were…optimistic. The website promised "facilities for disabled guests." Well, the reality was a bit more…Spanish. The building HAD an elevator (hallelujah!), but the ramps to the pool? Less ramp, more… slight incline that made my chair wheeze a little. Navigating the corridors could be a bit of a game of ‘spot the obstacle’ (mostly stray luggage and rogue beach umbrellas). The good: The rooms themselves were fairly spacious, and the bathroom mostly worked. The shower situation felt like an after thought. The bad: That promised "accessible restaurant"? Let’s just say I spent a significant amount of time navigating a maze of tightly packed chairs, which, sigh, wasn't the most relaxing start to my day.
Oh, and THAT "Wheelchair Accessible" Promise… I took that with a massive grain of salt. Don't get me wrong, it's mostly there, but double-check EVERYTHING! It's not a perfect paradise for people with disabilities, and the effort to get around can be exhausting. My recommendation? Call ahead, grill them with specific questions, and don't be afraid to ask for photos of the actual routes.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Well, the main restaurant was technically accessible, but the "access" was more like a suggested pathway that really tested my patience. The layout wasn't ideal at all. I would definitely look for other options, outside of the complex.
Internet: Wifi in EVERY ROOM! (Mostly…Kinda…)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! The siren song of the modern world is hard to ignore. They promised. And mostly (mostly!) delivered. The speeds varied, depending on how many teenagers were streaming TikTok at the same time, but hey, it worked.
Internet [LAN]: Nah. Don't bother bringing a LAN cable. This ain't that kind of place.
Internet services: Worked just fine!
Wi-Fi in public areas: The Wi-Fi in the lobby was slightly more reliable than the Wi-Fi in the room, but you could still expect a slowdown now and then.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa, Pool, and the Great Outdoors!
Pool with view: The view from the pool was gorgeous, overlooking the Mediterranean. The best time to go was early in the morning, when the tourists are still sleeping in. Sauna: The sauna was small, which was a shame. Spa: The spa was okay… The massages were okay, and the facial was pretty good. Spa/sauna: The spa/sauna was a nice feature to have. Steamroom: The steamroom was great!
Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage: I skipped the body wraps (too claustrophobic for me!), but I did hit the fitness center. Let’s just say it’s not cutting-edge. The gym was functional. The treadmills worked. The weights… well, they were weights. The massage was fairly standard, but pleasant enough after a day of navigating the "accessible" routes.
Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: OH. MY. GOODNESS. The outdoor pool was the saving grace! Absolutely stunning, with views of the beach. Be warned: It gets crowded FAST. The key is to stake your claim early. A towel on a sun lounger? My inner Brit loves that game.
Cleanliness and Safety: Are My Germ Phobias Justified?
Okay, I’m a bit of a germaphobe. It’s a curse, I tell you! But, let's be honest, in these times, we're all a little more conscious. I was impressed with the efforts, generally speaking.
Anti-viral cleaning products: Checked!

Breakfast [buffet]: The breakfast buffet, oh, the breakfast buffet. I won't lie, it was the scene of many a pre-coffee battle. The queues were fierce, the bacon was perpetually lukewarm, and navigating with my chair was an adventure. Still…it was there. And there was a wide variety of options. My tip? Get there EARLY. Before the hordes descend.
Restaurants: There was more than one restaurant. I only ate at the buffet restaurant. I was a fan of the soups.
Room service [24-hour]: This was a lifesaver, especially after a long day of sightseeing.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Beachside Chalet in Lido di Dante Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-polished travel brochure. This is me, unfiltered, about to spill the beans on my potential Belvilla by OYO La Llosa 2 Cambrils, Spain adventure. Let's see if this whole thing actually works out, shall we?
The "Hope for Sunburn, Prepare for Chaos" Itinerary - Cambrils Edition
(Note: All times and plans are subject to a healthy dose of "life happens" and possibly a mild breakdown or two on my end.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Unpacking Disaster
Morning (ish): Flight lands into (hopefully) Reus Airport. Ugh, airports. I swear, the sheer volume of people trying to herd themselves through a single metal tube is enough to send anyone straight to the nearest sangria bar. Remember to breathe. Pray the baggage claim doesn't eat my suitcase. If it does, well, I guess I'll be rocking that "tourist chic" look - t-shirt, jean shorts, and a desperate, "can I buy a toothbrush?" expression.
Afternoon: Rental car pickup. The last time I drove in a foreign country, I nearly took out a roundabout. Wish me luck navigating Spanish traffic (and praying the darn GPS actually works). Mental Note: Pack Dramamine. Seriously. Then, the real fun begins: finding La Llosa 2. I'm picturing this adorable villa, all whitewashed walls and bougainvillea cascading down…or, you know, maybe a building with a number on it? Either way, it'll be an "adventure."
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Unpacking. This is always a process. I'm not one of those super-organized travelers. My suitcase tends to erupt on impact like a particularly colourful volcano. Clothes everywhere, a frantic search for the suncream (essential!), and the inevitable discovery of a crumpled-up receipt I have NO idea what it is for. I'll probably end up missing something crucial, like my phone charger. Or the wine opener.
Evening: First Impression and Food run. A walk around the villa, take a sip of the local wine, make a mental note of any potential trip hazards (that wobbly tile… that low-hanging branch…), and then a dash to a local market. Can't cook on the first night. I will be ordering a pizza. It's the law. It's tradition. It's easy. I'll check the local offerings and get a local market feel of what it is to be going on.
Day 2: Beach Bumming and the "Lost in Translation" Lunch
Morning: Beach time! Let's just hope the water's not freezing. Sunscreen application, beach towel deployment, and a solid attempt to relax. I'm picturing myself, sprawled on the sand, with a book (that I might get through one page of). But truth be told, I'll probably be distracted by the people watching. I'm a sucker for a good people-watching session.
Noon/Afternoon: Lunch at a beachside restaurant. This is where the "lost in translation" part comes in. My Spanish is, to put it kindly, rusty. Expect frantic gesturing, a lot of pointing at the menu, and potentially ending up with something I didn't order. Maybe some delicious seafood, who knows, I'm an optimist. I will try to use some Spanish phrases, failing miserably.
Late Afternoon: Attempt a siesta. This is key. If I don't nap, I turn into a grumpy, sleep-deprived monster. The challenge is actually falling asleep. My brain has this annoying habit of running a mile a minute when I'm trying to relax. Hopefully the villa has good curtains.
Evening: Stroll along the Cambrils promenade. Ice cream! More people watching! Admiring the yachts (dreaming of winning the lottery), and general feeling of utter contentment. Maybe a sundowner at a chiringuito (beach bar if you're confused). That sounds… perfect. I'm already in heaven.
Day 3: Tarragona Treasure and a "Culinary Catastrophe"
Morning: Day trip to Tarragona. Roman ruins ahoy! I'm a sucker for history. The Roman Amphitheatre, the Aqueduct… I'll be channeling my inner Indiana Jones (minus the fedora, because I'm trying to avoid extreme sunburn). I'll be taking a lot of photos.
Afternoon: Lunch in Tarragona. This time I'll bravely attempt a local restaurant. I might even try to order in Spanish again. The key is, I think, to be enthusiastic and smile a lot. Even if I order the wrong thing, at least I'll have enjoyed the effort.
Late Afternoon: Return to the villa. This is the moment of truth. I will attempt to cook. I love cooking, but the kitchen in the villa might be my new best friend, or my worst enemy. I'm picturing a delicious, paella-style adventure… followed by reality.
Evening: Dinner at the villa. I’m going to have to admit I don’t know how to make paella, so this may be more of a "pasta with tomato sauce and a side of burnt garlic bread" kind of situation. If it’s a complete disaster, it's pizza-again. And, afterwards, a movie, a good book, or just quiet time.
Day 4: Re-centering, and a Second Run on the Beach.
Morning: A lie-in. Because I really need one. Slowly get out of bed, make coffee, wander around the villa, and just be. Maybe a little stretching, maybe not. Whatever feels right.
Midday: A second, more relaxed beach session.. This time I’ll fully prepared. The beach chair, the book, the sunscreen, and a bottle of water. I'll also have to fight back the urge to spend hours watching the waves.
Afternoon: I'll try and go to a local market for souvenirs. This is the "pressure's on" stage to find something, anything, that isn't completely tacky, but that still says 'I was here".
Evening: A final dinner in Cambrils. A more formal affair. Something delicious, if I'm feeling lucky. A stroll under the stars, knowing the trip will be over soon and trying to hang on to every moment.
Day 5: Farewell and the Great "Packing It All Away" Drama
Morning: The dreaded packing. I'm going to try to be extra neat. I will lie. The suitcase will explode, inevitably. The whole thing will turn into a frantic game of shoving things in and hoping they fit.
Midday: Last minute checks and a final, longing look at the villa. Did I leave anything? Keys? Phone charger? My sanity?
Afternoon: Drive back to Reus Airport. Pray the GPS doesn't go haywire again. Pray the flight isn't delayed. Pray the baggage claim doesn’t swallow my suitcase one last time.
Evening: Travel back home. Reflecting on the trip, the memories, the laughs, and the disasters. Already planning the next adventure.
The Fine Print (because life is messy):
- This is a loose plan. Expect changes.
- My mood and energy levels may fluctuate wildly.
- I may get lost. A lot.
- I'm prone to spontaneous outbursts of joy (and frustration).
- I'm not perfect. And that's okay.
So there you have it. My Cambrils adventure, laid bare. Wish me luck. I'll probably need it. And if you see a frazzled person wandering around, looking lost and slightly sunburnt, it'll probably be me. Say hello! And maybe offer me a glass of wine. Or a map. Both would be good.
