The spa and spa team are pleasant / productive including the massages and sauna. The gym is functional though could it use some care and repairs. The pool is great for relaxation or 25 meter laps.
The Opta staff are kind, helpful, and pleasant. The location is both convenient and wonderful (i.e., near La Rambla, bus depot, restaurants, bars, parks, and mall if you need it). Many guests play billiards pool and ping pong. The various spaces to read or work on a laptop are convenient. Laundry is on site, irons are in the laundry room.
I only encountered three issues that may be important for sensitive sleepers.
1) The in-room router or cable box contains a bright blue light that is unnoticeable during the day. When all the lights are off and curtains are closed at night, that blue light is very bright. You will need to cover it or unplug it if you don’t want ambient light.
2) Where the closed curtains meet, a slight gap remains at the top, a common issue. So, it is difficult to achieve total darkness. I never did achieve total darkness with the blue light and this curtain gap.
3) The mattress was uncomfortable. I rarely felt comfortable and didn’t sleep through the night once. It was both too hard on the edges and would sink in the middle. I weigh a semi-muscular 215 lbs or 97 kgs.
